Snake Soup member Smiley was also there and shared this information concerning Silent Hills.
"So yeah, this just happened. Obviously, I couldn't get a whole lot of info on the new Silent Hill, but I've learned a few things from him that he could tell me.
1. It was Del Toro that introduced him to Hideo Kojima and he accepted the part because he owes his first film to Del Toro.
2. What they pitched him was to make the scariest video game of all time and that's the tone they are going for.
3. He hasn't started working on the actual project yet because he just finished wrapping up the mid season of Walking Dead, but he expects to get started with most of the work in early 2015.
That's all I can say, but it was great having him over in Reno. I look forward to seeing what he brings to Silent Hills."
During a recent Reddit AMA, Norman Reedus, who will be doing the voice and motion capture Silent Hills’s unnamed protagonist, talked about his involvement with the project. When asked what his experience of working on the game is like so far and how Kojima and del Toro approached him, he replied with the following.
"I’m super excited to be a part of that . Both those guys are geniuses at what they do . We haven’t shot the heavy stuff yet. Kojima approached me right after Guillermo did."
