Given his history with the series, I wonder if he was looking forward to Kojima's Silent Hills, whether he was disappointed when it was canned, and if he sees any possibility of it ever being resurrected?

[Alex79]

My prediction is yes, yes and no!

This is gonna be good :

1-As a fan of the Silent Hill Franchise what was it like to be in such an important role in the production of the games?

2-Given that many in the Silent Hill fanbase tend to squarely blame you for the series decline in quality, how did that affect you, and did it have an effect on the development of the games you worked on?

3-If you can go into it,why did the Silent Hill HD collection turned out to be so shit?(you can probably rephrase that in a better way)

4-What made you go from working in one of videogames flagship horror franchises to work in a company that makes some of the most colorfull and upbeat games in the industry?

How was working with a Japanese company on their IPs? Did they give you relatively free reign or were they very protective of their properties? Were there any misunderstandings or culture clashes on the projects?

I will very much second this question! Konami has developed quite the reputation in the last couple of years for their "dickishness", so first-hand insight would be of great value.
