Horror fans aren't too happy about Silent Hills ' cancellation earlier this week. They've started a petition asking Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro to finish the game.The Change.org petition says that the game's cancellation was "about the most heartbreaking thing horror fans had to swallow this year." It also notes that many players loved the game's PS4 demo, P.T. "I am begging you along with countless others: Please continue the Development on, if the issue is money related, we would love to see a Crowdfunding campaign like Kickstarter to ensure you are getting all the financial help there is!" the petition says. "We´d love to see it happen at some point and want to thank you for all the great games you have released so far!"In the days since the petition was published, it's been signed over 63,000 times. I imagine the petition will hit its goal of 75,000 signatures in just a few more days.I'm inclined to agree with the petition. Thefranchise has been a mess for years. A series of studios have created sub-par games that only serve as reminders of how good the series was in its earlier years.is due for a revival and it seemed like Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro had the experience and clout to make a proper resurrection.However, I do think that the petition is addressed to the wrong people. Del Toro and Kojima aren't the ones that need to be convinced of' worth - it's Konami. They're the ones holding all the cards here, too. Konami owns thefranchise and the Fox Engine being used to create. They also have the resources to fund a game of this scope.is dead if Konami wants it to be dead.The only way that Kojima and del Toro could continue the project is if it's not agame. They'd probably have to switch engines too if Konami's not willing to license the technology to them. I don't doubt that the two of them have the star power to have a huge crowdfunding campaign. However, they'd be effectively starting over from scratch.Del Toro revealed the game's cancellation last weekend during a film festival. Konami then followed up with an official confirmation "Konami is committed to new Silent Hill titles, however the embryonicproject developed with Guillermo del Toro and featuring the likeness of Norman Reedus will not be continued," the company said on Monday.As part of the game's cancellation, Konami tookdown from the PlayStation Store. Gamers scrambled to download it before that happened. A few opportunists are even trying to sell consoles loaded with the demo through eBay
