After the roller coaster ride controversy between Konami and game creator Hideo Kojima, "Silent Hills" was finally cancelled.
Much to public's disappointment, supposed game creator Guillermo Del Toro did not just express his frustrations about the game's cancellation, he also expressed his desire to push through with "Silent Hills" by extending his support to the fans who petitioned the game in Change.org.
"Dear Hideo and Guillermo,
hearing the cancellation of one of the most anticipated horror games is about the most heartbreaking thing horror fans had to swallow this year.
Since the first sight of the P.T Demo it was instant love, and it burned into the minds of everyone that this had to release at some point.
Although the reasons are not yet announced I am begging you along with countless others: Please continue the Development on Silent Hills, if the issue is money related, we would love to see a Crowdfunding campaign like Kickstarter to ensure you are getting all the financial help there is! We´d love to see it happen at some point and want to thank you for all the great games you have released so far!
Greetings

"What we wanted to do with the game - and we were very much in agreement on this - was to take the technology and make it as cutting-edge as we could in creating terror in the house," Del Toro told IGN . "The idea was very, very atmosphere-drenched."
"But what made Silent Hill so great was that you had the atmosphere but then you a pay-off with a very active, very intense series of moments. We wanted to do some stuff that I'm pretty sure - just in case it ever comes back, which honestly I would love for somebody to change their mind and we can do it - but in case it comes back there was some stuff that was very new, and I wouldn't want to spoil it.
And to further show his support to the petitioner, he revealed that he will also "add" his signature to it as they all hope that Konami will finally take time to reconsider their decision for cancelling "Silent Hills" PS4 game.
"Norman [Reedus, the Walking Dead actor who was attached to play the lead role] was super happy, Hideo was super happy, and so was I. I know there's a petition going on the internet and it's gathering signatures. I would add my signature to it, and hope that someone pays attention."
In conclusion, the award winning director admitted that he is still in contact with Konami and he's ready to push through with the project once the giant gaming studio decides to move forward.
"Hideo and I have been in touch," he told the publication. "And he knows he would be the only guy I would follow to the ends of the earth on anything. I think if anything can be rescued, I will be more than happy."
