So, its not a rumor that Kojima is being vague about the final gameplay for Silent Hills; all we know is that he wants to incorporate first-person perspective, even if its not used all of the time. However, some speculate that there might be another reason that Kojima is toying around with first-person gameplay: Silent Hills could be exclusive to Sony's Project Morpheus. During the fetuss lengthy monologue about his father being a drag, he warns players that he will return and bring his new toys with him. While the fetus could be referring to the ingredients needed to create the protagonist's personalized hell, redditor Meddle111 suggested that new toys might refer to Project Morpheus, which could explain why P.T. is exclusive to the PlayStation 4. Konami has been silent regarding the target platforms for Silent Hills, but many speculate that the company is waiting for the release date of Project Morpheus before they reveal their own. After all, Sony could use a high-profile game to sell their VR technology, and Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus might be the perfect team to do it. However, considering that Silent Hill has been mostly multiplatform since Silent Hill 2, it might be unwise to abandon the Xbox One fanbase. Not to mention the game is in the earliest of stages; even Reedus himself hinted that they havent filmed the major scenes yet. Regardless, considering how he enjoys using technology to mess with his fans, Kojima would have an easier time meeting his pants-filling quota with anything Project Morpheus-related.
