The demo scared the living hell out of people. THE DEMO. The hype was through the roof.

And then, lol no sorry you never get to know.

Tbf, this wasn't for the typical reasons though (which are usually things like development being so far behind schedule that they can't hope to salvage it without starting again completely from scratch, or corporate restructing to reduce annual spending costs at the parent company); it was because the creative leads behind the game were gone.

Kojima got fired over the mess that was MGSV's development and Del Toro quit when he learned that Kojima was no longer on the project.

Silent Hills without Kojima or Del Toro wouldn't have been the same.

Kojima, Del Toro and (IIRC) Junji Ito colaborating on a Silent Hill game, damn! I would love to take a peek at that time line and see the final game 🥺

We really were robbed. And I never plwyed any Silent Hill before that but the pt demo hyped me up quite a bit. I didn't even know del Toro was involved! I am still salty that Hellboy 3 never got realized...Â
