9 years later, Guillermo Del Toro is still unhappy with Konami about PT and Silent Hills

To mark the ninth anniversary of the P.T. demo, Guillermo Del Toro has finished what he usually does greatest and shared a quite brazen tweet concerning the recreation, and it’s writer, Konami.

P.T. was a demo for a fully-fledged Silent Hill recreation, Silent Hills, from Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro that was launched in 2014. Whereas this atmospheric demo was minimal, having you discover the identical remodeling hall over and over whereas the extent of terror solely will increase, followers went completely doolally for it. When it was lastly found that this was, actually, going to be a Silent Hill recreation, the thrill was unreal. Lastly, a very good, trendy Silent Hill recreation was coming. Till it wasn’t.

The total model of P.T. was canceled in 2015, shortly after the discharge of the demo. Because of conflicts at Konami, Hideo Kojima then left the studio as soon as Metallic Gear Stable V: Phantom Ache was accomplished, and that was that. P.T. was left to fade into obscurity, slowly however absolutely turning into much less accessible to new gamers because it was faraway from storefronts.

It’s been 9 years because the P.T. demo launched, with The Recreation Awards tweeting out the anniversary of the city legend of a recreation. Guillermo Del Toro quote tweeted the anniversary announcement with, “Ah… Konami… What sayeth thou? Irrumabo Konamitus.”

‘Irrumabo Konamitus’ might be translated from Latin in a lot of methods, nevertheless it’s secure to say that Konami has left a bitter style in Guillermo Del Toro’s mouth. On this occasion, Guillermo Del Toro seems to be saying ‘Fuck Konami’, with Hideo Kojima retweeting Del Toro shortly afterwards.

Whereas some have translated the Latin phrase as Guillermo Del Toro saying he’ll go to Konami, I feel that is removed from the case. Again when P.T. was canceled in 2015, there was an actual uproar, and followers had been removed from proud of Konami for canning the undertaking. Final 12 months, on the eighth anniversary of P.T., Guillermo Del Toro tweeted “F.Okay.” and it is not arduous, given this years new tweet, to work out what that should imply…

Finally, Del Toro’s tweets definitely seem to echo those self same sentiments that followers shared 9 years in the past, and proceed to share now.

If there’s something that every one Silent Hill followers have in frequent, it’s that we’re all mourning the cancellation of Silent Hills, and the eventual lack of the flexibility to play the P.T. demo. Alas, we do have a Silent Hill revival to stay up for, with a Silent Hill 2 Remake on the way in which alongside a number of different spin-offs, and a brand new movie.

However whereas Silent Hill followers do have some new media to extremely anticipate, this solely places a bandaid over the P.T. formed gap in lots of our hearts. Silent Hills might’ve, and would’ve, been nice. Irrumabo Konamitus!
