Del Toro's greasy heart finally let us know... It seems pretty official at this point, the dream of a good Silent Hill game after all this time has died.
What the heck happened?! Did Kojima smuggle money? Did he insult someone? Did he kill some executive's dog? Were the executives just insecure about Kojima Productions being basically the only thing keeping their company going?
Frankly, all things considering, maybe Silent Hills isn't dead, just the title. There's no particular reason the game has to take place in Silent Hill to tell the story they seem to want to tell. Change the name of the town (and the game), ditch any references to the mythos behind the town (which isn't necessary in the best stories anyway), and that team can STILL make the game. We'd all still buy it, and Konami would just end up looking like big fools I think.
The only problem is, I think Konami are the owners of the Fox engine...
Anyway, my reaction to all this:

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
