Reedus also says thatSilent Hillsbeing cancelled means that he has been able to see how Kojima makes games. “I like the fact thatSilent Hillsdidn’t happen, to be honest, because I’ve gotten such a peek into the way he works and the way he thinks,” explains Reedus, and that “I’m completely blown away by this guy.” Kojima has said that he andMads Mikkelsen are becoming best friendsso it wouldn’t be surprising to learn that Reedus and Kojima have also grown incredibly close.
P.T.was just a playable teaser for a fullSilent Hillhorror gamethat Kojima was making but it was praised majorly by fans who thought it was terrifying but entertaining. Many were hugely disappointed when it was cancelled and it’s why some have chosen to create a fullP.T.remake, so that they can keep enjoying the horror gameplay, though the teaser isn’t available for download any more. It may also be disappointing to hear that Reedus isn’t as upset about the game’s cancellation as they are.
However, while the full version ofSilent Hillswill probably never be made, there is potential for Kojima to make a new horror game with Reedus. Kojima has said that he hasideas for horror gamesand while the developer hasn’t revealed what these games may be about, or who they will feature, Kojima seems to greatly enjoy making games with his friends so Reedus could potentially be the protagonist of his next project too.
