I get the feeling what this really is is del Toro's game "Insane" with Silent Hill slapped on the cover. Looks...okay, but considering how Kojima has been handling things lately I don't think this'll work all the way.
Well then we might have the answer about the combat already... the Kojima version will involve you taking on the role of a pilot driving the new US manufacture Metal Gear between bases through back roads to avoid traffic, suddenly a fog wells up and you see the sign "Welcome To Silent Hill".... the very first survival horror, mecha-battle hybrid game, can your giant, bipedal, nuclear armed war machine handle a few freaky nurses with syringes? What happens when you just decide "F@ck this" and drop a bunch of weapons of mass destruction on the town (or did you already do this, hence all the broken roads and such seen reflected in other games... oooh mind trippy). The best part... the entire game can be done with little interaction from the player, it can be nothing but an animated movie in the spirit of "Bambi Meets Godzilla" except with the punchline drawn out into 180 minutes of slamming mecha rampage action. In a clever twist, the pilot you play will have multiple personalities... Zack was very impressed by this reveal... and will monologue with himself constantly about fringe science and pseudo-philosophical topics, hearing the other side of the conversation in his head, while he puffs on LSD-cut Cannibis.... which will surprisingly make him more coherent as the "game" moves on. Basically it's Kojima's dream game, Del Toro is just there to help in depicting what the already messed up Silent Hill Creatures look like when a whacked out druggie mecha-pilot is having a bad trip at the same time.Gatx said:I'm excited about Guillermo Del Toro, but I wonder what Hideo Kojima would bring to the table.
Also, Kojima's wikipedia page currently lists the new Silent Hill as an upcoming entry in the Metal Gear series.
I thought this as well. Still hyped.Aiddon said:I get the feeling what this really is is del Toro's game "Insane" with Silent Hill slapped on the cover. Looks...okay, but considering how Kojima has been handling things lately I don't think this'll work all the way.
I laughed harder on that last tweet that I thought I would...Kamui-Moshiri said:Phil Fish's tweets about this whole thing have been absolutely classic.
