Silent Hill Producer Rebuts Kojima’s AI Forecast, Says ‘Silent Hill f’ Needed Human Boldness

His post argues generative tools can pitch sequels yet cannot choose a 1960s Japan setting or recruit writer Ryukishi07.

Overview

  • Motoi Okamoto publicly rejected Hideo Kojima’s prediction that future remakes and sequels will be made by AI, posting his response on X.
  • He said AI might draft a sequel proposal but would not make decisions such as relocating the story to Japan or hiring Ryukishi07 for Silent Hill f.
  • Kojima has described AI as a development “friend” suited to tedious tasks that reduce time and cost, not a substitute for human creative leadership.
  • Silent Hill f launched in late September, surpassed one million sales soon after release, and is frequently cited as a human-led creative departure for the series.
  • The back-and-forth comes as Sora’s recent update spurs fan experiments and Nintendo reiterates IP enforcement, while some studios and creators express skepticism about AI-made games.
