Hvis du håbede på at se et nyt spil fra Guillermo Del Toro, som var involveret i udviklingen af Silent Hills med Hideo Kojima før Konami aflyste projektet, har vi nogle dårlige nyheder til dig. Under et eksklusivt interview med Shacknews, indrømmede Del Toro, at han aldrig vil involvere sig i spilindustrien igen, når du det har endt "tragisk" hver gang han har nærmet sig den.
"I joined THQ, and THQ goes broke. I join Kojima, and Kojima leaves Konami. I have decided, in order not to destroy anyone else's life, I have decided I will never again get involved in video games. Otherwise, I'll join someone and his house will explode, or something",
Han har dog lært en masse om mediet, og også en del om hvordan han selv ser et ordentligt narrativ:
"I was in an apprenticeship. I learned a lot from Kojima-san, of course, and I learned a lot from my experience at THQ. I did. It changed the way I see narrative. We put two years of work in THQ"
"It was insane. We mapped it out, we did the viable, we did the outlines, we did the screenplay. We did a bunch of stuff. I know some of the tricks, or the stuff that I wanted to learn, I learned. Then I went to the side of Kojima-san, because he's a master, and I can gladly say that we are friends and I love his work and I will continue learning from him as a friend".
"But I am not... if I join another video game, World War III will start".
Det er en skam, at Guillermo Del Toro har besluttet sig for at gå fra spiludviklingen. Vi håber, at han en dag vender tilbage.
Tak Shacknews.
