Thanks much to Insert Credit for pointing out this enlightening interview with Takayoshi Sato. Sato is responsible for all of the CG in Silent Hill and did tons of work on Silent Hill 2 as well. He’s since moved on to EA, and in the interview he discusses what it was like working at Konami during the development of Silent Hill. IC has also linked to Sato’s personal page, which is pretty cool.
Interesting interview. His recent work looks so silent hill’ish, too bad he left Konami and no wonder that Konami didn’t use any CG scenes after SH2 😛
