Direct quote 2012-08-15
“"Silent Hill" is in closed room setting and doesn't require full action so that we can focus on the graphic quality. Enemy doesn't have to be a lot or move fast. It only requires scariness by graphics and presentation. As being a creator making action game in open world, such game is very enviously attractive. Wish someone could create this on FOX engine.”
What it documents
In August 2012 Kojima wrote that Silent Hill, being a closed-room setting that does not require full action, allows focus on graphic quality: the enemy does not need to be numerous or move fast, it only needs to be scary through graphics and presentation; he said that as a creator of action games in open worlds such a game is enviably attractive to him, and he wished someone could create it on the Fox Engine.
