I think the thing is that Toyama isn't really a very big name. He made Silent Hill 1 and then bailed to make Siren games and the Gravity Rush series. He's not some legendary creator with a huge fanbase, he's a guy who's mostly operated in the background and made niche games for Sony, and the Silent Hill series' most famous and most iconic installment is one he had nothing to do with.



By comparison, as much as I personally think he's an egotistical prick who's spent years sniffing his own farts and has basically become a walking self-parody, Kojima being involved would at least justify a huge groundswell of hype because everyone knows who he is. Toyama is not Kojima, though.



If it HAS to happen, I just hope to GOD this isn't a straight remake of Silent Hill 1. We've had that story retold so many goddamn times, there's nothing else you can do with it. Tell us a new story. Do something interesting.
