Hideo Kojima Marks The 8-Year Anniversary Of PT
<p>Hideo Kojima has marked the eighth anniversary of PT with a quick tweet, posting an image of the cover art from the secret <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/silent-hills/">Silent Hill</a> game that was canceled in its prime. Hollywood director Guillermo del Toro also added a quicker and possibly saltier response to Kojima's tweet. Del Toro's tweet, consisting of just the letters "FK," is likely meant to convey his disdain for Konami and its decisions at the time.</p><p>Originally directed by Kojima when he was still employed at Konami, PT is a first-person horror game in which players have to navigate a haunted house. A small showcase of spooky supernatural disturbances, cryptic puzzles, and running for your life whenever you encountered a malevolent ghost named Lisa, PT was eventually revealed to be a playable teaser for a new game in the Silent Hill series, Silent Hills.</p><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1558095180552491008" data-has-image="true"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">It’s been 8 years? <a href="https://t.co/WKiUIvt1BQ">pic.twitter.com/WKiUIvt1BQ</a></p> — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) <a href="https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1558095180552491008?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">August 12, 2022</a></blockquote> <text></text> </div><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/RealGDT/status/1558103309797318658" data-has-image="false"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">F.K. <a href="https://t.co/7u5R0oxxip">https://t.co/7u5R0oxxip</a></p> — Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealGDT/status/1558103309797318658?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">August 12, 2022</a></blockquote> <text></text> </div><p>The original plan was for Kojima and del Toro to helm the Kojima Productions project, which also featured a protagonist portrayed by Walking Dead star Norman Reedus.
