Silent Hill Cancellation

I Wanted to touch upon this subject because I don't really understand what happened.

So so many people were looking forward to this game and it seems like out of nowhere they cancelled it. 

It seems to be happening with so many games and I just don't understand how is it worth cancelling something you already invested so much money and time into.

At first when people were starting to figure out something was up Konami released a statement saying that the game is undertaking some serious changes but is not being cancelled. I believe that a lot of people were happy with this because as I said earlier I know so many that were looking forward to it.

But major changes already means something was seriously up with it. 

As I was reading on the articles it was very complicated. 

They already decided and cast Norman Reedus as the main character but later on turned out that his contract with the company is running out and it didn't look like they're going to sign another for unknown reasons... But the company kept reassuring people that they will continue to develop the games.

I read something about one of the most well known director and developer is actually thinking about leaving the company once he's finished with Metal Gear Solid 5.

But I think what made people wonder the most is the disappearance of the P.T (a playable teaser for the game) project off the ps4 store. 

It seems that whenever someone tried to get any information out of them they either denied or didn't comment on the matter. Even early on the day before the official statement was released they were declining to comment on whether it's being cancelled or not... which to me sounds like they didn't really know what to do. They were like a lost child in the supermarket. 

"Power struggles between staff at Kojima Productions and Konami had escalated to the stage where the publisher has begun seeking a new leadership team to work on the future Metal Gear games."

So the problem was not with the game it seems, it was with the company itself. 

No detail is being revealed and I think we will never completely know what happened. Maybe they didn't get on. And it's hard to work with someone you don't like. Especially in such environment. 

Further comments were as follows "In terms of Kojima and del Toro being involved, discussions on future Silent Hill projects are currently underway, and please stay tuned for further announcements."

and that "we will continue to develop the Silent Hill series"

To me the whole situation is very weird. It seems that it will not be quick before the resolve this. And I am not sure if they're saying that they will be developing the games for the gamers to not lose the fans or if they're actually going to develop the games... We will just have to wait and see, be patient.
