[QUOTE="Admin, post: 54578, member: 1"] Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro, who was once attached to Konami's Silent Hills project with Hideo Kojima, has said he doesn't think he will ever try to develop a game again. As reported by [URL='https://www.gamespot.com/articles/silent-hill-game-awards-tease-was-meant-to-tickle-the-ribs-of-konami-del-toro-says/1100-6499214/?PostType=image&UniqueID=02EC0B6A-6363-11EC-995D-CDE3923C408C&TheTime=2021-12-22T20%3A09%3A04&ftag=ftag%3DGSS-05-10aab8e&ServiceType=twitter']GameSpot,[/URL] del Toro appeared on the [URL='https://open.spotify.com/episode/7AAdN4KreOHNhWoXhar2Pn?si=Hgy0WbuRTT60QkaF9d_MfA&nd=1']Happy Sad Confused podcast[/URL] and confirmed that he was not working on any Silent Hill-related projects. This question arrived after del Toro made an appearance at The Game Awards 2021 and playfully said that he loved the art direction in Silent Hill and hoped that we all get a new one soon. The way he delivered the message made many believe he knew more than he was letting on, but it appears this is not the case and that del Toro may be done exploring the world of video games... at least for now. Despite saying that he loves the idea of gaming "as a storytelling exercise," he doesn't think he "would develop a game again because [he's] the albatross of video gaming."

While that may not be the news fans of del Toro's work may have wanted to hear, he at least shared a few more thoughts about the canceled Silent Hills project he was once working on with Kojima. "It's just one of those things in my life that makes no sense," del Toro said of Silent Hills' cancellation. "I kind of just wanted to tickle the ribs of Konami, because I don't understand. That was so perfect, what we were going to do was so enthralling."
