Instruktøren Guillermo del Toro har talt ud om Silent Hills' tragiske død, og herigennem hans samarbejde med Hideo Kojima. Derudover har han kommenteret på Konamis strategi efterfølgende, der har gjort, at demoen P.T er blevet fjernet fra PlayStation Network.
I et interview med IGN snakker del Toro lidt om aflysningen:
"The collaboration between Kojima and myself, the meetings, and the friendship that was developing was beautiful. We had an agreement on where to go. We had an agreement on how we were going to push the new platforms. We were having a blast."
I samme interview beskriver del Toro visionen, som han og Hideo Kojima havde for spillet. Han afslørede ikke synderligt meget, i tilfælde af at Konami skifter mening, men han sagde følgende:
"What we wanted to do with the game - and we were very much in agreement on this - was to take the technology and make it as cutting-edge as we could in creating terror in the house. The idea was very, very atmosphere-drenched.
"But what made Silent Hill so great was that you had the atmosphere but then you a pay-off with a very active, very intense series of moments. We wanted to do some stuff that I'm pretty sure - just in case it ever comes back, which honestly I would love for somebody to change their mind and we can do it - but in case it comes back there was some stuff that was very new, and I wouldn't want to spoil it.
"Norman [Reedus, the Walking Dead actor who was attached to play the lead role] was super happy, Hideo was super happy, and so was I. I know there's a petition going on the internet and it's gathering signatures. I would add my signature to it, and hope that someone pays attention."
Han sagde afslutningsvis:
"Hideo and I have been in touch, and he knows he would be the only guy I would follow to the ends of the earth on anything. I think if anything can be rescued, I will be more than happy."
