translated from Spanish: Five years of the terrifying P.T. video game, the canceled sequel to ‘Silent Hill’

The title never saw the light because its creator, Hideo Kojima, separated from Konami.
‘Silent Hill’ came back in a free remake and compatible with virtual reality.
Kojima will release ‘Death Stranding’ with Guillermo del Toro and Norman Reedus in November.

This Monday marked the fifth year of the arrival of Silent Hills, known as PT (Playable Teaser) on PlayStation 4, which was to be a new game from the franchise.
It consisted of a terrifying demo in which the player walked through a corridor of the most macabre that hid a dark story and that, if you surpassed, unveiled the announcement of a new Silent Hill by Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro and starring Norman Reedus.
Psychological terror was always the big fort of the Silent Hill saga and that little playable demonstration had all the elements of it, as it was to be a sequel to the franchise. Its creators bet on changing the perspective of the saga and moving from the third person to the first to give a greater horror experience to users.
Specifically, down that looping aisle you found different decorative objects, a radio and you had to follow some clues to reveal a small story. However, some supernatural events hinder that mission, as well as a ghostly presence that will end the demo if it discovers you.
Despite the excitement of fans and positive reviews from the specialized magazines, the title was canceled in 2015 and PT was removed from PlayStation Store due to internal discussions between the creator and Konami, the developer.
The relationship between the studio and the director began to worsen during the last months of the development of another successful game, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which ended up causing Kojima Productions (hideo’s-owned producer) to fail to accept some conditions required by Konami (specifically, he refused to use the Fox Engine) and eventually the project was cancelled.
After that, Hideo Kojima decided to follow his own path and continue his own project, Death Stranding, with Del Toro and Reedus. The title will be released next November on PlayStation 4.
