I'm pretty sure you've already heard of Silent Hills, a survival horror game that's being developed by Kojima Productions.
I know P.T. is scary and all, BUT it really doesn't feel (completely) like a Silent Hill game, so a random guy, supported by a considerable amount of fans, started a petition to bring three of the masterminds behind the first three games.
There are exactly two Team Silent Members working for Kojima (Suguru Murakoshi and Kazuhide Nakazawa), but Hiroyuki Owaku (scenario writer of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, co-writer for Silent Hill), Masahiro Ito (background and creature designer of Silent Hill, art director and creature designer of Silent Hill 2 andSilent Hill 3) and Akira Yamaoka (sound director, producer of Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill 4) are on their own, working on separate projects, "waiting" to be involved in a new Silent Hill game.
It's a shame that these three Got-tier developers/designers ended up making cellphone games or drawing covers. These guys are detail maniacs, and they showed us (with the rest of the team ofc) that videogames are art and can have a big impact on people, maybe even more than movies or books.
The Silent Hill franchise got kicked in the stomach non-stop the last years, and I'm really sad because people don't know how awesome the first games were. Kojima is an amazing developer/writer/designer, and I believe he's capable of returning SH to it's golden days, but he won't be able to do it without these guys.
If you're a Silent Hill fan, I think you should sign this petition. There's a small chance we can make this happen, but I'm optimistic about it.
