9 Perfect Video Game Sequel Ideas (That Were Rejected)
2. Silent Hills
Silent Hills is maybe the most heartbreaking video game cancellation of all time; it had a groundbreaking demo that fans are raving about to this day, it would have reinvented a flagging series and it paired two geniuses with Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima. It was practically money in the bank.
The reasons behind its cancellation remain murky - as does the Kojima / Konami breakup – but based on P.T. alone it could have been a landmark game in survival horror. Little is known about the story, other than it would have featured Norman Reedus in the lead, and the teaser drops various hints about a murdered family and a ghost named Lisa chasing the player.
P.T. was still just a teaser, so we have no idea of the treats that awaited us in the main game. The game had so much potential, and the worst thing is the odds of it being resurrected are zero. It doesn’t even matter if the next Silent Hill game is great, since it could never live up to the hype behind P.T.
