Cancelled Silent Hills game had similar elements to The Last of Us

Talks about Silent Hills are still going after months of its unfair cancellation. We’ll never get over the loss of such a game that would’ve been one of the best horror titles in recent memories.Guillermo del Toro talked to a website about some more details that makes us wish the game was still being developed.

According to del Toro, Silent Hills was planned to have some elements that are similar to titles like The Last of Us, and that he and Kojima went through hundreds of designs to make the best game possible.

“We had a great experience and had great story sessions with hundreds upon hundreds of designs,” he said. “Some of the stuff that we were designing for Silent Hills I’ve seen in games that came after, like The Last of Us, which makes me think we were not wrong, we were going in the right direction.”

It looks like Silent Hills was in development even before The Last of Us then, making us wonder how much of the game was complete when it got cancelled. del Toro said that the cancellation “made no f*cking sense” as Kojima was making a remarkable game.

Silent Hills got cancelled back in April, with its “P.T” demo pulled from PSN.
