During his IGN interview, Guillermo Del Toro also revealed his and Kojima’s plans in developing “Silent Hills.” “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,” he revealed.
