I remember being scared for months after watching my uncle play silent hill when I was young but never went back to the series after that for some reason or another. I remember playing a demo on ps3 for Silent Hill the room before I got games (ps3s were so expensive I had to wait a month to buy any games) and was moderately intrigued but still havn't played another silent hill.
However I am a huge kojima fan AND guillermo del toro fan so I lost my shit when this was revealed... wish I had a ps4 to try the demo on.
I would like to mention that even this game has big names attached to it, that alone doesn't equate success automatically.
kojima has dropped the ball several times and has openly stated that he couldn't make a silent hill game due to not being go at horror.
Del toro on the other hand I fully believe would and could make something deeply terrifying and with hideo backing in a producer facet and supplying the fox engine and tech to fully realize something like this should at least be good... possibly great.
Norman reedus needs to step up a bit from the walking dead and boondock saints performances imho.
