This ‘P.T.’ Eulogy Will Make You Understand Why Gamers Are So Upset
Briefly: Gamers everywhere have been pretty upset (understatement) at Konami over the what-are-they-thinking cancellation of the Hideo Kojima, Guillermo Del Toro, and Norman Reedus collaboration, Silent Hills.
The Silent Hill series has been my absolutely favourite franchise since 1998, when 8 year-old me didn’t sleep for nearly a week after playing the first game. I watched the series grow to become the award winning undisputed king of survival horror, and then fall to mediocrity before finally becoming laughable.
Then, last Summer with the launch of P.T., fans of the series once again had hope. This was going to be the resurrection that the series, and genre, needed. Then Konami took it away.
YouTuber Super Bunnyhop has just released a detailed eulogy for the property, which does a great job of lamenting just what was special about P.T., and what it could have done for the series. Whether you were a fan of the game or are just now wondering what all of this P.T. chatter is all about, it’s well, well worth the watch.
