After what was first a rumor that was flying around, it was later confirmed that the beloved music creator of the Silent Hill franchise, Akira Yamaoka will be leaving Konami.

UPDATE: Silent Hill Composer Leaves Konami? - News - GameInformer.com

This REALLY sucks. One of the most memorable aspects of Silent Hill was the music. Goodbye Akira, you will be greatly missed. Hopefully I'll see you around somewhere else.

Hey, you never know. The new composer could be five times better than the original.

That's disappointing. As you said, the music in the Silent Hill games was always great. Especially in Silent Hill 2.

You know, I actually met the guy a few months ago, when I was out drinking with some friends who work with games. Several of them were jokingly asking when he'd be going independent so they could hire him for their series.

Somehow I doubt he'll be dropping out of making music entirely.
