OSV was quick to confirm the recent rumors that Akira Yamaoka was leaving Konami. Akira Yamaoka isn’t just the composer for the Silent Hill series, he’s also a producer and creative lead. With Yamaoka gone, will Konami choose to keep making Silent Hill titles, or is this the end?
And, whether they choose to proceed with Silent Hill or not, is Yamaoka done writing for Konami? Or will he “pull an Uematsu” and do contracted work with his ex-employer?
We’ll leave the speculation to you (and we’re happy to hear it!). But in the case that this is a clean and final break between Yamaoka and Konami, we’d like to present to you our thoughts on Yamaoka’s final work on the Silent Hill series (a remake of the original title).
After the jump, check out our review of the Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Soundtrack. (more…)
