Next 'Silent Hill' will be the scariest game to date

Silent Hill is one of the creepiest, pants-wettingest game franchises ever created. But after a two-year hiatus, Sony is bringing back the nightmare fuel with a new Silent Hill game, which was announced at a Gamescom press conference a few weeks ago. But it was first disguised as a game called PT, short for "Playable Trailer," so no one would know what was coming.

The game has a talented roster so far: It will be made by Hideo Kojima, the legendary creator of the Metal Gear franchise, and Guillermo del Toro, the famous film director behind Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy.

The game will also star Norman Reeds from The Walking Dead as the main character, who looks like he does in real life. The game will likely be called Silent Hills, according to the title card at the end of the teaser.

Sony initially advertised PT as a new horror game for the PS4 from an unknown developer called 7780s Studio. The demo came with an unusual warning: "Avoid playing if you have a heart condition."

Gamers who reached the end of the demo realized it was actually the new Silent Hill game. Watching some of these gamers' reactions to the demo helps gauge how scary the game is.

While some of the more recent Silent Hill titles have been less favorably reviewed, the original games released on the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 were critically acclaimed for their "immerse, frightfil and compelling storyline[s]," and have been a staple of Sony's gaming consoles ever since. Silent Hills has no set release date.
