Masahiro Ito, the artistic talent behind Silent Hill 2's Pyramid Head, has expressed a general feeling of regret surrounding the character's creation.
In a recent tweet, the artist behind Silent Hill 2's Pyramid Head expresses a sense of regret over his iconic creation. The instantly recognizable gaming icon has appeared in the best-selling Konami franchise several times over the years after being introduced in James Sunderland's story.
Meant to represent feelings of guilt and shame possessed by James Sunderland, Pyramid Head was scorched into the minds of countless gamers after it showed up in 2001's Silent Hill 2. Although the monster was very clearly and directly tied to the psyche of Sunderland, its icon status, powerful image, and widespread popularity among horror fans prompted Konami to carry Pyramid Head over to other games in the franchise, and even the Silent Hill movies.
Ito's statements are part of a larger aura of negativity surrounding the Silent Hill franchise in recent years. The cancellation of Silent Hills and the relegation of the entire IP as a wrap for a series of pachinko machines have indeed made many in the gaming community feel that Konami has fallen far from grace. Hopefully, the Japanese gaming giant can do justice to the legacy left behind by games like Silent Hill 2 with future releases. .
