Reedus, who is the protagonist of Death Stranding (Sam „Porter” Bridges), said something about Silent Hills to The Hollywood Reporter that left us speechless.

„It was completely different. Silent Hills had the backstory and people knew that game, knew what it was about and what it would look like. When that went away, I was bummed, but when Hideo (Kojima) described what we were doing next, I completely forgot about it. I was like, thank god that [he means Silent Hills – the ed.] didn’t work because this [as in Death Stranding – the ed.] is way better. This is a completely different thing. I’ve been with Hideo at the Game Awards, and he’s like the Beatles. Grown men in their 40s are screaming with tears in their eyes like Elvis just walked into the room. I’m like, who is this guy? The Hideo that I know is a friend of mine. He’s had dinner at my house, met my girlfriend and my cat. He’s always been super personable and such a friendly guy with a great sense of humour. He’s great to hang out with. I’ve gotten to know the mind of Hideo a little bit. I like the fact that Silent Hills didn’t happen, to be honest, because I’ve gotten such a peek into the way he works and the way he thinks, and I’m completely blown away by this guy,” Reedus said.

Konami hasn’t done much with the Silent Hill IP since, aside from the slot machine that was shown in the US recently, as well as the pachinko, the Japanese equivalent. Anyway, Death Stranding has divided the critics, but the players and their wallets will decide: the game is out on November 8 on PlayStation 4, followed by a PC port in the early summer next year.
