Wait, they' re getting rid of their golden goose ? Let' s face it, at this point Kojima was Konami. Their execs are notorious for their meddling, trouble is they have their heads so far up their own ass they had no problem greenlighting a DBZ-style final fight in Silent Hill 5 (among other things). It definitely sounds bad for Silent Hills.
This makes me deathly afraid of how well Silent Hills is going to turn out now, and also deepens my disdain for Konami. They've already killed my favorite survival horror series, and I'd like to believe it can still make a comeback...
