Gamasutra is reporting that Silent Hill originator Akira Yamaoka has been sufficiently impressed by the American development of the fifth, latest edition that he has concern over Japanese development.
“[The U.S teams'] graphical and technical ability is amazing… There’s a huge gap, actually. They’re very advanced. I’m Japanese, and I think this is not just with Silent Hill but with the whole of the industry — I look at what American developers are doing and I think wow … Japan is in trouble.”
