If Konami doesn’t want to make its vision a reality, a fan is doing it instead of the Japanese publisher.

In 2015, two of Hideo Kojima’s projects were in trouble. One of them, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, was released by Konami but was unfinished (there were still a few missions in the pipeline, and their cutscenes were done…), but the other project, the Silent Hill revival, failed to make it to the finish line, even though its free-to-play preview, P.T. wasn’t bad (and perhaps that’s why Resident Evil 7 and 8/Village used the first-person perspective). Silent Hills ended up in the bin, and Kojima re-established Kojima Productions as an independent studio (and took Norman Reedus from the game to Death Stranding).

P.T. is no longer playable either (unless you have the game downloaded to your PS4…), but that hasn’t stopped a Reddit user, DrJones20, from imagining what Silent Hills would be like if he made it himself. He used Media Molecule’s Dreams, which gives him enormous creative freedom, to create a fully playable Silent Hills. In the post, he compared 2019 models and images to Kojima’s work, and it’s no wonder it took him so long because, without the actual assets (like textures), it’s very time-consuming to redo everything.

For DrJones20, this isn’t his first “tango” in making horror games, as he also created The Curse of Haruko in Dreams, so he has some experience in the genre. We can already find his idea in Dreams (and thus find out how he would have continued the story). We must search for “Silent Hills (Full Game)”, but be prepared for a rough ride. And Konami can’t argue with that, as there is no profit to be made here…
