>"And that's a GOOD thing!"
this shit is psychological horror in and of itself
Good point, this is far more horrifying than the original.
Women's rights were a mistake
A women helped create Heather. Frick you.
In a world without Women's rights, she still could have, she would've just had to suck a few more clocks to be able to give input.
As it should be.
evolving the horror genre by making the marketing scary. good stuff.
>the true psychological horror were western journalists and devs
pretty accurate
>Good
You ever get the impression that journalists dont actually like games? Why would you say good to something like this if you liked the game as it was. The whole reason its being made is because people liked how it was, not how it wasnt. What the frick is wrong with modern media.
Pretty sure thats not real
it's real and it's from kotaku, which makes it worse
I think that means "good" in the sense that bloober sucked at psychological horror.
>You ever get the impression that journalists dont actually like games?
I've been thinking this for the last decade or so. Journalists don't like games or gamers.
>"Women deserve to have ri--"
It's a good move, though. Psychological horror is always some pretentious shit.
SH2 is a pretentious game tho, and it should stay that way
I was genuinely expecting that to be a fake link and the thread to be a shitty troll attempt.
The fact that they think they can get away with statements like this really does make me wonder when the next vidya industry crash is going to happen but it can't be soon enough.
I love the fact that they left zero room for interpretation by saying "The first of these games will be the Silent Hill 2 remake"
It's two-fold, really. Had they simply said they wanted to focus on mainstream appeal action horror but only going forwards after SH2R, that still wouldn't have been good because it just makes it sound like they have no fricking faith in their ability to make effective psychological horror, presumably including SH2R. The fact that they had the brass balls to state that it's actually going to be included is just a whole extra level of embarassing.
Frick these morons, I hope the company goes under and their execs never work in vidya again.
Konami just keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over. No hyperbole but Silent Hill 2 is the WORST possible game choice for a remake. Not only do they make a mistake of doing this but then they also choose the WORST possible developer to handle it in Bloober. They are just repeating the Summer of Silent Hill in 2012.
I had zero faith in Konami once they went full pachinko. From trying to make Castlevania into GoW or running the MGS franchise in the dirt with Survive. They've tried remaking Silent Hill before with Homecoming when they decided to remove the combat in lieu of shitty hallway chase sections. Not to mention the abysmal SH Remaster. Anyone who has even and inkling of faith in Konami deserves to be disappointed. I cant believe people think the MGS3 Remake isnt going to be a shit show either.
>They've tried remaking Silent Hill before with Homecoming when they decided to remove the combat in lieu of shitty hallway chase sections
That was shattered memories not homecoming…not that it matters anyway
My bad, but yeah, everything after 4 was trash
targets for that talk are shareholders - they are signaling that in the future rhey will make more marketable games. they moved from making money from games sales to making monkey from selling stocks
These industries are too big to crash anon. Stop dreaming. The only way its going to happen is if there is a world war and 50% of the population dies.
>The only way its going to happen is if there is a world war and 50% of the population dies
>abuhh buhh duh next crash
It's not happening. Stop talking like this. These articles are horrible and it is bad but stop fricking posting like you have any idea what even caused the last crash, much less like it'll happen again despite the industry continually growing every single fricking year. Shut the frick up.
Watch this educational video, it's confirmed time and time again.
Summarizing, horror games simply won't be scary anymore because the people funding this shit demand to make the games more accessible to the public / include mechanics considered popular at the time.... So basically, reduce the horror.
These statements likely weren't his idea, he's just trying to make it sound like it's on purpose and "it's gonna be even better than before!" but the team was 100% forced by investors into adding action because that's how other popular horror games are now.
In the video I'm posting there's lots of examples of what goes on behind the scenes. Devs know what they should be doing but they're rarely allowed to.
B-but gatekeeping is bad!
Your favorite genre has to be enjoyed to everyone on earth!
>really does make me wonder when the next vidya industry crash is going to happen
i read an article recently where the author explained that our current socio-political system is unique and has never been experienced before at any point in history because the economy keeps breaking well-established rules and ideas
if you couple that with the projected decline in world population over the course of this century, it's almost a guarantee that a slow decline in the consumer base is more realistic than a sudden crash
2023 will be remembered as one of the greatest years in video game history, yet you are here seething.
Shitfield is going to be trash
> vidya industry crash
Keep dreaming. The whole point of going for mass appeal is just that, it will appeal to the masses. Nobody cares about “psychological horror” except you nerds and let’s face it, you’re going to play it anyway.
>you’re going to play it anyway.
why do you shills keep saying this? no we wont. why the frick would I spent 60-70 dollars on one of your shitty remakes when I can play old games that are better are readily available for free online? I aint playing shit, and if I do, im pirating it, wienersucker homosexual
>let’s face it, you’re going to play it anyway.
Anon, you're on Ganker, most people here don't actually play video games, you homosexual.
What's the point then?
Right now we are feeding old data through a team of overworked underpaid Asian people to shit out these remakes. Eventually we'll be able to just do that with AI. Right now people are just making mad money off morons before the ai can do it for us.
We're reaching Dead Rising 4 levels of dev resentment now
Moneyyyyyyyyyyyy
Basically company B saw company A have massive success over their RE remakes and tried cashing in, and it will be a huge flop
Think DC trying to catch up with Marvel and missing the point entirely
these remakes have no purpose but to clog search results. the companies hate anybody that dares to enjoy anything older than their current serving of goyslop.
the troon/interracial propaganda is just icing on their shit cake
That’s a good point and it’s already happening with silent hill 2 if you try googling
polak shovelware "gangsters"
yep, they suck
Bloober team are the most inept, talentless, moronic homosexuals out there. I have no idea how they keep failing upwards when they haven't produced anything good.
These wienersuckers are on Ganker too. I vividly remember them shilling bloober team being good during the Silent Hill transmission threads months ago.
i dont get how people actually buy games made in poland, lol. or how konami outsources one of their flagship IPs to 3rd world countries. Who ever is in charge of konami now must be a colossal idiot.
Konami has a long history of giving their IPs to any frickin developer. Like take downpour for instance. I think that was a tiny studio with like 1 crappy game before getting that IP. Crazy shit.
probably taxpayer money like every other european developer
I love that my money went towards such masterpieces as basement crawl
What games have they even made? Layers of Fear. Some C-list nothing game. Konami really spared no expense.
Silent Hill Sisters can’t catch a break, as Konami continues to frick up eternally.
>Bloober Team 3.0
POST IT
You’re a moron if you expected anything good from this in the first place
I mean a 1:1 remake would have been really stupid but still not as bad and I would have given it a shot but this is on a level of moronation.
good. psychological horror doesn't work in vidya
At this point I really want to see how bad it will turn out. Early on there were listings of the game being split into parts, like Silent Hill 2: Part 1. Can you imagine if they did that? Like you get to the hospital and a cutscene plays 'To Be Continued in Part 2'. They may have ditched that plan.
>bloober team
>portraying reality
>in a video game
That is so dumb it looks completely believable.
>implying they wouldn't just turn Maria black.
They already have their race-swap candidate
But wouldn't that mean her BLACK father(lmao) raped her? Thus stereotyping black men as rapist?
Race switching maria into a 70s black sistah.
>Aw James, honey, what's the matter? Can't you see i'm real?
I'd dig it brother.
That's not real, right?
it's not real, but I would rather have this screen than turning half the cast into woke Black folk, for no other reason than to hit their diversity quota. Never EVER pay or play w*stoid games until they've learned their fricking lesson.
Even though it's fake i don't know how people think this would be a bad thing. It clearly mocks the shitty woke current industry by pretty much stating that they're delusional.
I think the only time I remember that done alright as Mafia 3 I think? Where it opened with essentially
>The time period this game had a lot of viewpoints that would be considered racist and sexist today.
>We don't support them, but we also feel that pretending they didn't exist would be disingenuous.
The joke remake video made before this was announced is becoming closer and closer to reality.

I appreciate the dedication to remaking the original warning screen background with the remake assets.
Silent Hill is fantasy, and fantasy reserves the right to portray idealism

one of the saddest lines i've ever read...
it truly feels like the death of something special when a team/director/designer focused on peak storytelling, art direction, and environmental style decides to abandon all of it in favor of action.
>abandon all of it in favor of action.
They bow to the tyranny of stupidity. Just like Crapcom before them. The low IQ action crowd is where the money is.
>we didn’t put a lot of attention on the gameplay mechanics," said Bloober Team co-founder Piotr Babieno.
literally this but about a horror game remake
stupidest shit ever
I knew they completely missed the point from the very first screenshot that they released. There's so many things wrong here.
>There's so many things wrong here.
Give us the full breakdown anon. (Unironically)
Not him but the car door now being closed is the biggest one. When I first played the original game on release I thought that it was strange that the car was sloppily parked with the door wide open. I always took it as Jame's experiencing melancholy and not giving a frick...not in some super bad ass IM GOING INSANNNE type of way but more in a literally I don't care to notice type of mind state. The door being closed removes all of that initial wonder at the very opening scene.
the original feels like an artist interpretation of the given scenery, done with a realistic approach but still with the artist style and vision of the given scenery, it oozes with personality, it feels like even as a still image, it still tells a story, not only about what's going on, but also about the stylistic approach to how the story is told.
the remake feels like a photo of the actual place, where the only "artistic" interpretation was some photoshop filtering, all done with no personality cause "muh realism" so everything has to look like real life.
the original feels like your crazy grandpa telling you a scary bed story, where he enriches the description with foul words, each intentionally over-acted with tones of disgust as he describes the oozy oil stains on the ground as so black and putrid they almost feels alive and as if it could suddenly start moving on its own, and the restroom feeling like some wicked nest, as if some weird creature living in it could suddenly come out and try to grab you as its next meal, all of it done with exaggerated descriptions not of how things looked but of how they felt, to which you go "EEEEEWWWW.....MORE! MORE!!!"
the remake feels like your office working dad coming back from his job and he just takes an old pic and goes "it was rainy, there was a car, it was parked, there was fog, oil stains on the ground, and also a decadent restroom on the side, the end"
>the original feels like an artist interpretation of the given scenery,
Stopped reading right there. Graphical limitations ≠ artistic interpretation. If anything,the bottom panel is the "artists" true vision.
The lake in the original is looming larger than life, swallowing up everything. This has a meaning. Shitty demake its barely there. These charlatans missed the point completely. A curse upon blooper and their families. I curse them!
Look at this scene, what can you feel and infer from just looking at this layout. This shit is why directors are important anon, you dont think this stuff matters till you realize when you feel they dont care about it because the scene tells you nothing, its just stuff for the character to interact with not stuff that tells a story itself with how its presented.
>parked in a designated parking space, he has conciously pulled up and aimed for a parking space, rather than just seeming like he stopped his car and walked out like hes no thinking about things he would think about if he was in a right headspace, like fricking parking correctly
>door is closed, like he intends to come back and is concerned for the well being of the car. Where in the original it looks abandoned, which given James introduction, suggests he doesnt intend to return despite what hes saying
Its not just "the door is closed, different is bad!" the fricking set is inferior to the original scene.
You right, but it might just be for the trailer, but you most likely right
I would agree, but knowing Bloobers history, horror is completely devoid of subtlety.
Like I can see the scene where you come across a dead guy infront of a tv and you cant see that it is literally James model because of the camera and its replicating the "truth" when he watches the video, they are going to have it so that you can investigate the body and see that it has the face removed and it says a comment like "hes wearing my exactly clothes, what the frick is going on here", rather than just leaving it as something to ponder and on hindsight know what it was depicting.
it's hilarious to see how quickly they fricked up, literally tripped up at the very first scene of the game and got everything wrong. This is gonna be the DmC of Silent Hill but worse
you will take the map from bulletin board and you will be happy
this is so fricking stupid that it hurts. James would have had a map of Silent Hill based on the fact that him and his wife used to visit there. It made more sense retrieving it from the back seat of the car where it was sprawled out.
Second that anon.
One thing that sticks out is how the parking apaces are designed. Why are only some angled and the concrete ends not aligned? Also why is that corner so ruved? Why is the fire hydrant so far forward? Why is there a door for a public restroom? Usually those don't have doors, especialy near a park.
>Why is there a door for a public restroom? Usually those don't have doors, especially near a park.
I'll vouch that every park I've been to in my area has doors on their restrooms. Not sure why but they're there.
>Original
Car is not even properly parked he fricking stopped wherever and let the door open
>New
They painted some lines, now we see he is a law abiding citizen that parked properly and closed his door!
>Oil slicks on the road in some po dunk rural town to DUDE UNREAL ENGINE WET RAIN
>WE HAVE TO ADD PISS WATER DROPLETS OR ELSE IT WON'T BE LIKE OUR HOME TOWN POLAND
Making surfaces wet has been a way to make graphics look prettier since the invention of normal maps, and reflections, just a cheap trick.
those trees are too full of life. having a grand view of the mountains down plays the isolation fact, it makes you feel like there is something else out there. it's way too clean for some reason. the door's not shut implying he cares about something like that. there are no sewer grates, something that is essential to build a base level of grunge.
that's my first impression
>Top, this shit its wrong you are in danger
>Bot, maximum comfy rainy day in the forest
Ok so far we have
>The car door is open
>He just parked wherever it's not even straight .
Clearly showing that james doesn't care
While in the new one they painted lines to make it look like he parked properly and he closed the door
>The giant lake is a larger than life thing which is relevant to the plot later
barely visible in the new one
>The bathroom door
is there anything wron with them adding a door?
>is there anything wron with them adding a door?
Thematically? Probably not but it shows a lack of care for the game’s time period in which it took place. Back then it was common for public restrooms to have no doors especially at rest stops in rural areas.
>>>The bathroom door
>is there anything wron with them adding a door?
That's probably the one things that actually bothered me (and the car door, which is a good way to prompt you to check the car and get the map, teaching you that you have to interact with things without a visual UI prompt).
Anyway, i liked the old door because the complete darkness is more unsettling than just a closed door, and makes it feel as if you emerged from somewhere sinister.
>to make it look like he parked properly
He didn't park properly at all, he's sticking out into the right space. Frick you homosexuals that try to take up 2 spaces I hate you
>is there anything wron with them adding a door?
>Unsettling darkness and no door
Creepy
>Door
Inevitably a lazy jumpscare
There's nothing technically "wrong" with the bottom, but like all remakes it just makes me ask "why" at every random change. Why do they never just remake shit 1 for 1?
WHY
IS
THE
DOOR
CLOSED
Yup. It was already over.
>Camera level with horizon instead of dowward at lake, which is your main destination to get to the hotel
>Already foggy, happens as you approach graveyard & town, thematically related to things getting worse
>Already wet, happens later in game, thematically related to things getting really worse
>Added viewing area blocked by trees
>Non-viewing area where he is standing is only area not blocked by trees, which unnaturally slope down towards him, soley to draw you eyes towards only James rather than the entire area
I have never played game.
>car door open, combined with the sloppy parking job shows disregard or a casually uncaring attitude toward the man's current situation.
The car is parked in a spit, but poorly. The man is either lazy or a bad driver. Maybe depressed, but it's less clear.
>the lake occupies a large portion of view and seems imposing, overwhelming, like you could get swallowed up and lost, with only the slightest barrier keeping the man from this fate
The lake is obscured by trees and the man is intentionally in the only spot that can view it. The lake feels more like an escape or freedom that the man yearns for
>the man himself is leaning against the precipice, he is literally and figuratively close to the edge of something beyond him
The man stands tall, it gives off the impression of determination to be in that spot and push forward through into the figurative lake
>the building is open, it isn't shelter, it's unsecured. The view inside is dark, unlit, and unknown. This is a place you don't want to go, but might have to.
The building has a door, and is likely fully lit inside. It is a shelter from the elements if need be, and continues to the overall mundainity of the man's situation.
Just some obvious stuff from an outside observer.
Very insightful stuff anon. Amazing that all this is so readily obvious to even someone that's never played the game but was completely lost on these devs.
why is it raining in remake?
Isn't Maine rainy as frick?
man the whole point of ''scarri'' public toilets are those without doors and dark as hell, that bathroom remake is horrible
Don't really see the issue on the restrooms tbh, they're both real types that exist
the replies to these post are genuinely good. I'm surprised.
PS1-PS2 Truly was the peak.
They were allowed to experiment and do anything they wanted to see if it landed.
Now they can't, because there's so much fricking money behind every project with hundreds of employees instead of like 10 morons that it CANNOT fail or the company takes a massive hit, that's why they go for the normies.
God vidya truly sucks now.
>fricking money
Corporate greed destroyed this industry.
The sad part about this article is that I actually would be happy to hear about this shift if Silent Hill 2 wasn't the first project they're doing this with. Bloober has basically just made 2deep4u walking simulators for the past decade, in which they've all been trash. Then focusing more on gameplay elements rather than just the "mood" as they put it is actually a good thing. I want more horror games that put thought into how you play them rather than just "experience" them.
But, they're making this statement with the SH2 Remake as their first effort at appealing to a broader audience with action.
SH2.
The game that is nearly entirely about atmosphere and story. The one game where they SHOULD focus on things like the experience.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; Bloober is everything wrong with horror games wrapped up into a single dev. Anyone who had hope that they could do SH2 justice after the shit show that was The Medium or The Blair Witch is fricking stupid.
>BLOOBER TEAM
>Lets heavily shift away from psychological horror and focus more on action to appeal to a mass market for the first time in our history of making games
>NOW LETS START THIS CHANGE WHILE REMAKING SILENT HILL 2
Kill me. Or kill them. Both, either, don't care.
>"oh frick, there was a hole in the wall... But it's no longer here... "
>Pyramidhead in the apartment behind bars
>It's a cutscene you can't interact or see it closely
>*Pyramidhead leaves*
>James: What the frick was that thing?
That will unironically happen
Yes I'm sure this low budget studio will add more cut-scenes than their contract stipulates. You people are insane to think they won't just make it 1:1 copy with less clunky combat.
God how I wish you were right and I was wrong.
I truly hope that's the case.
Most of the combat encounters would be replaced with cutscenes instead. It's bloober team after all
But clunky combat was part of the experience.
There are multiple articles where an "insider" reported that the remake is going to be twice as big as the original.
Most likely because they will include the side story as part of a intermission when James leaves the apartments after the first PH fight. Don't count on anything more.
kek I can see it
I wonder how they will handle Pyramid Head assaulting the mannequins scene.
Guarantee this will be one of the biggest memes of the year when we finally see how they butcher this.
I'm not surprised after the troons attacked them for the ending of the Medium being victim blaming or some other troon shit
This has become a situation where I'm hyped for the sole purpose of seeing how badly they butchered this game.
Why are poolacks so obsessed with making moviegames?
MARY! WHERE THE FRICK ARE YOU?!
THOSE THINGS AIN'T FRICKING HUMAN
Silent Hill 2 was a mistake, that attracted redditors and trannies that only played it and not a single other game in the series.
Silent Hill 1 still the best game in the series.
All of the OG games are great. Whatever reddit shit came after is not the fault of the game and besides most literal trannies related more to SH3 more than anything.
> SH3 has more trannies
Crazy to think about it, your average troony sees a game about a young adult girl and all the trouble girls this age go through... And somehow said troony think to himself how relatable Cheryl is to him, absolutely disgusting creatures.
SH1 CHADS!!!! RISE THE FRICK UP!!!
1 is still my favorite game of all time. Wish there was any other game truly like it.

>But we decided that there was a ceiling that we couldn’t break if we did not deliver something fresh, something new.

Bloober can't. They don't have an original bone in their body and they ran out of shit to rip-off.
I genuinely hope Silent Hill 3 gets a remake so SH3 gays can suffer
>Monsters? They look like fricking monsters to you?
>Kill that crazy fricking b***h!
>You go to hell, fricker!
>Instead of leaving this vague and unsettling comment to stand on its own legs, they change it and have another reveal where Heather is actually shown to be killing cultists.
The joke was that they WERE monsters moron, he was fricking with her
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They'll change it so it's the opposite.
SH3 is already a shitty action game with a forgettable plot, they already suffered enough.
I like SH3 and it still beats any modern horror game but it was the only game out of the original 4 that felt like a rehash. The other 3 games felt like they were trying to do something different at the time.
sh3 already explained every little detail to death
Don't worry homosexuals, Bloober's studio head has already said that they might collaborate with Konami on more silent hill game remakes in the future.
>I genuinely hope Silent Hill 3 gets a remake so SH3 gays can suffer
Me too, but instead of that i want it so they retcon Harry's death out of canon. Though i guess it wouldn't really matter much, since the UFO endings are the canon endings as seen in pic-related.
But if Harry was abducted, then who was phone?
He was just drinking coffee with his alien friends at home, so he just had to get up and pick up the phone.
>It's frickin' bread.
Fixed the game for you https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/
Why not just make a different game, like a new IP entirly with the elements carried over? Nobody would be half as mad of they just outright said "yeah we canned SH2Re for this new IP Hushabye Valley: Evil Rebirthed because it wasn't OUR DNA ya know?"

Well thats one way to increase the value of the old games. Even as a re fan, not everything needs to share its identity. Whats next, amneisa with skyrim combat?
I have an awful idea: A Bioshock remake
Besides Joseph Anderson and some anons on here- I have never seen or heard of someone playing it and saying they didn't like it.
I think he's talking about bloober games
did anyone even like the games made before? I saw one youtuber who said he did.
as if the movie reveal wasnt bad news already holy shit this is gonna be a dumpster fire
the cast leaked
>linking directly to ign
enjoy your vacation newbie
only newbies call others newbies
I guarantee you they never said they were giving up psychological horror for the mass market for SH2 because they'd have to completely rewrite the plot of SH2 for that to be true and they're obviously not going to do that.
I'm so fricking tired of morons using the term "psychological horror" thinking it means "slow burner, subtle, for intelligent people only, blah blah blah". It does not mean any of that bullshit. It just means it's a horror story where mental illness is the "antagonist". The Babadook is not psychological horror because it's for big brains only and normies think it's boring. It's psychological horror because it's a horror movie about a woman going crazy. That's it. Remove the twist and the movie instantly ceases to be psychological horror.
>I guarantee you they never said they were giving up psychological horror for the mass market for SH2 because they'd have to completely rewrite the plot of SH2 for that to be true and they're obviously not going to do that.
"We decided that our next titles should be much more mass-market oriented. We’d like to talk with more people. We’d like to deliver our ideas, with our DNA, not by environment or storytelling, but by action. So all of our future titles will have a lot of gameplay mechanics. They will be much bigger."
"The first of these games will be the Silent Hill 2 remake"
Show me the part where the dev used the term "psychological horror" and said it would be removed SH2. Nothing in what you quoted indicated anything even close to that.
Bloober has been very vocal in the past with misquotes and misleading headlines through official channels. They never corrected this one report.
So you actually believe they plan to rewrite the plot of SH2 for the remake? I highly doubt it.
moron
>“This year is like closing the era of making psychological horror games,” studio co-founder Piotr Babieno told Engadget. “Right now we are going into Bloober Team 3.0, making mass-market horror.”
>Bloober is not abandoning horror as a whole, but it is shifting focus. Over the past decade, the studio cemented itself as a powerhouse in the realm of psychological horror games, releasing the Layers of Fear franchise, Observer, Blair Witch and The Medium, all of which generated terror through narrative and environmental cues (otherwise known as “vibes”). Because of these design choices, Bloober games have jokingly been called “walking simulators,” a description that Babieno didn’t deny.
“>We focused on the story, we focused on the mood, we focused on the quality of graphics and music, but we didn’t put a lot of attention on the gameplay mechanics,” Babieno said. “It wasn’t our target. But we decided that there was a ceiling that we couldn’t break if we did not deliver something fresh, something new.”
>the studio cemented itself as a powerhouse in the realm of psychological horror games, releasing the Layers of Fear franchise, Observer, Blair Witch and The Medium
Most of those aren't psychological horror.
For frick's sake, people, the definition of psychological horror is really not that hard to understand. Here's a big tip: if mental illness is not an major element of the story then it's almost certainly not psychological horror.
Going forward, developers at Bloober will rely on action and player input to generate disquiet, and they hope that this nudge in creative direction will drastically expand the studio’s audience. This mechanics-first ethos was actually implemented internally in 2019, when Bloober began building the remake of Silent Hill 2 for Konami.
“We decided that our next titles should be much more mass-market oriented,” Babieno said. “We’d like to talk with more people. We’d like to deliver our ideas, with our DNA, not by environment or storytelling, but by action. So all of our future titles will have a lot of gameplay mechanics. They will be much bigger.”
Why do people not understand that Bloober equate psychological with "no combat"?
Silent Hill 2 is an action game. Layers of Fear is a psychological horror game. If it has combat it's not psychological.
They can keep the plot and strip away all the horror in the game. It won't be as effective but it can be done.
>Game know for his psychological horror aspect
>Lets remove that!
>no one will ever remake 4
should i be glad it wont be getting this treatment
>Every game that was already perfect and loved gets a remake
>Games that had potential never get a remake to be better
sigh...
That's Remake Culture™ for you.
>Beloved stuff with a brand new coat of paint and no soul
>"That one" entry left in the dust with no second chances
You would not be able to fix RE4 without completely removing the OG story, because it is complete horseshit.
Meant SH4 of course. Black person thinking his mom was the apartment was the dumbest ending and reveal possible.
It's almost like Walter is supposed to be insane or something. It's almost like years of living a miserable life of suffering, being abandoned by your parents at birth, being sent to Silent Hill orphanage to be abused there by cults teaching like other kids there, spending your adulthood as a hobo on the streets, etc, etc, can make (You) go insane and seek happiness in any way possible. It's almost like there's a symbolism related to motherhood and childbirth with Henry going to the otherworld version of Ashfield by crawling through a hole (that gets bigger every time he enters) in the apartment and coming out on the other side in a position that newborn child lias at birth.
I would just change the combat and some of the enemies. The overall designs didnt match the locations which made it feel like any other horror game, SH usually does a good job of that.
>escalator wall gays removed or changed, theyre just a gamey obstacle that could be done better and it just takes the horror gameplay to fricking Crash Bandicoot platformer territory
>add appropriate enemies to the location instead of shit like dogs in a subway, and gorillas in the appartments. The baby thing was appropriate to its location in the tower for example, the rest feel like shit picked at random with no relation to the characters or the location
>remove burp monster, replace it with something more interesting than just a large zombie
>remove ghosts till second half of the game where you have to backtrack, it is the ghost of the victim that follows you around instead of a whole crew of them. make them move slower, them ripping off at mach speed makes it so the player is always racing and trying to just bob and weave, rather than feel like they are being slowly cornered, and give them some cool environmental effects like wherever they pass all the light go out as they move past things etc, something to make them feel like they are different rather than just an annoying as frick enemy that wastes resources being near
>make maps less open, there isnt a single narrow space in the whole game because they are trying to hard to replicate real locations
Seriously, I feel like the enemies and their placement is why this didnt land. Its like if you went into the hospital in the other games and there was just generic zombies, it just doesnt hit the same. If you cant change the story, at least add something that gives Henry some attatchment to it.
This is why I feel if they should remake any Silent Hill it should've been 4. The others are fine as they were but 4 had a solid foundation it just fumbles it in areas which causes it to fall short. I also think the idea of being trapped in your own home would hit harder for people now post pandemic.
Thats how remakes should work in a perfect world and that includes movies. They shouldnt be remaking games that are already considered masterpieces they should remake games that were flawed but the core concept/story/gameloop was good. Funny enough the OG RE1 remake is kind of a good example. The OG game was kinda shit and the voice acting legendary and they remade it into a much better game.
It's easier to sell a remake of something people already like I suppose. Shame, there's plenty of games that don't land but deserve a second chance to reach their full potential. I mean there's a reason they chose to remake 2 and skip 1 entirely, it's because 2 is the one with the biggest reach. Even non-Silent Hill fans know 2.
>less focus on the gameplay
>less focus on storytelling and environments
>more focus on actions
>forcing mass market appeal
And here i thought Silent Hill games couldn't get any worse than the "HD" Collection
>less focus on the gameplay
Is what the Bloober exec said Bloober used to do in the past.
>less focus on storytelling
Is never stated.
> and environments
Environments are never mentioned.
>more focus on actions
The original SH2 is more of an action game than any game Bloober has made in the last decade. Of course Bloober should focus more on the action for the SH2 remake.
>forcing mass market appeal
SH2 is a rather mass-market friendly game and better than any of the shit they put out.

Every fricking game Bloober Team has made is dog shit. How did they score the chance to work on this? How did they stumble into anything they've done in the past five years? This shit sucks. They suck so much dribbling butthole that I have to imagine it's actually a kink for them to put out genuinely below average shit while boasting it's their best work yet.
Looking through their catalog on their wikipedia page and I haven't heard of a single fricking game they've made.
I played a few, and they're all equally as bad. I think maybe the nicest thing I can say is that in the Blair Witch game at least they added some amusing little minigames on the main character's cellphone. That's it, the one and only compliment I can give Bloober's entire history of development.
Alright anon, you’re now in charge of making another silent hill game. Cancelling the project because you want to see it rest is not an option. What do you do?

>SH1 had a shit reimagination

They should had just fricking hired Team Silent or whatever the name they have nowadays, frick.
Konami can only make gacha and YGO games nowadays.
>YGO games
I fricking wish, they stopped putting effort into making them over a decade ago. No more tag force / world championship / random games that didn't even play by the TCG rules anymore.
The ds/ps2/psp was the Fun Era, we had it so good back then.
>SH1 reimagination
Huh?
You mean Origins? (the one where you play as a trucker)
or Shattered memories?
SM was a reimagining or SH1
Of*
That one sucked kek.
Fricking running simulator
I thought the overall atmosphere was pretty good for a silent hill game but you’re right..the running killed it and any dread from the game was removed once you realized that there is no threat outside of those very specific running segments. The enemy designs were also very poor.
There's no way they thought making that statement was a good idea.
What’s the first track that comes to mind when thinking of sh2? For me it’s
?si=yxBr1xJADLdBnR51
?si=pIvveWrzN1lrVnTt
?si=bkXxebdzVu0hSXAi
I loved the cloudy, damp, humid feel of 2 and 4
Promise reprise
?si=nw5eEsVsZua7nVJk
If you can’t beat them, join them.
i wish silent hill 1's combat wasn't such a pain in the ass. I JUST WANNA PLAY SH3 FOR FRICKS SAKE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why are you skipping 2
i've already beat 2! i tried playing the 1st one afterwards but the cliche cult story just isn't as interesting as the more psychological story in 2
You messed up bro, always play in release order. The cult story is what silent hill is about. 2 even though it’s my favorite game is the outlier in the series when it comes to story. 1 is an excellent game and you should take your time with it.
i figured that i'd be fine because i knew 2 was an isolated game story-wise, but i didn't think about game mechanics. sh1's atmosphere is beautiful just likes 2's, but MAN the gameplay makes me want to fricking shoot myself.
Being that I played these games on release I probably have a higher tolerance for tank control combat so it would be disingenuous for me to say that it plays perfectly fine from a combat perspective compared to someone who didn’t but everything else makes it completely worth it.
not him but its not thaaaaat bad. the only truly painful thing about the gameplay is playing on hard.
>wanting a sh2 remake in the first place
2 and 3 still look fantastic why the hell would anyone want a remake
The gameplay of SH2 is shit though, standing still and whacking monsters with a lead pipe isn't fun or scary, it's comical, make it play like RE4make.
I curse you
nobody evers plays these games for the combat, they may as well be walking simulators. a good example of why the fans deserve to suffer for their shitty moviegames.
Yes but you can't just dismiss the shitty combat when the game demands you engage in it so often. It's still a game at the end of the day and running around hallways that look almost identical while dealing with the shitty combat really harshes the experience.
I tried playing SH1, 4, Origins, Shattered Memories, Downpour, and Homecoming.
Shattered Memories was the only one that was halfway decent, the rest were shit. Convince me that 2 and 3 are any better.
How I wish 4 wasn’t rushed out of the door and had a better budget. Walter’s story is the best thing to come out of Silent Hill.
i thought it was damn good up until having to do all areas again with Eileen.
Dude was the only good villain in the series. Both Dahlia and Claudia are religious c**ts with little backing for all the c**tery they do (Claudia was abused I guess) and 2 has no real villain unless you count James but still not really a villain. Now Walter, that boy was never allowed humanity by anyone or anything. There might just have never been another path for him. His story is miserable and makes you feel bad for him, but hes beyond any redemption and must be put down.
What the fricked happened to “silent hill the lost message” demo that we were supposed to get? It was rated in Korea and everything and had a bunch of screenshots leaked.
I completely memory holed that dogshit and hope most people did as well
Meant to say the short message. I’ll just dump these in case anybody is interested
>Ito sig on the bottom right

>We’d like to deliver our ideas, with our DNA, not by environment or storytelling, but by action. So all of our future titles will have a lot of gameplay mechanics.
Somebody should tell them that good gameplay is not about having a ton mechanics, but about using them effectively instead.
you WILL like the semen meter and enemy radar that flashes when a slurper gets close
I hate that games are the only medium that just won't fricking re-release shit. I'd rather just have a proper port instead of these fricking remakes. I don't give a shit if people born in 2008 don't like tank controls.
saw a mexican streamer play is a while ago and homie kept crying about tank controls not even realizing you can change them in the options
I still cant belive people have such issues with tank controls. I suppose I grew up with them I was playing RE games as a child. But like frick the way some people act its like it makes the game unplayable. Its not frickin hard to wrap your head around christ.
I didn't even grow up with them. I was a kid when the gamecube was new. I didn't play Re2 till it was on psn. Tank control games play at a snails pace to accommodate the control scheme. I can't believe being good at games isn't a prerequisite to thinking you can make content out of playing them.
>mfw I prefer tank controls yet most modern vidya don't have em anymore
Being a Silent Hill fan is suffering
Because you have bad taste?
The original Silent Hills were technically shit when it game to game design, made by incompetent devs who happened to all have godly artistic taste, made under a company that didn't give a shit about them enough to actually look at what they were doing before it was released. It was lightning in a bottle, and thankfully people at the time were in the mood for it. It's built up a bit of an undeserved reputation over the years where people assume every single detail was a choice where it wasn't, and say dumb shit like "no, the camera isn't a janky mess when you move it, it's a psychological representation of how disoriented the character is" blah blah.
It also still holds up extremely well on what is good about it due to being so expertly stylised. The visuals and sound never get old. It's had a huge impact on not just games but all horror and dark art since then.
So there's no good way to remake it. The artistry is still great so at best you can only match it, and the gameplay was shit but no one cares so you're only going to lose focus trying anything but the most basic QoL improvements. It's doomed.
Wow, it's even worse than what I was expecting.
Bravissimo, blooper.
Because we are surrounded by insufferable Black person morons like you
Your mom seems to like having me around.
What was deleted
nothing I was just being petty and deleted a number so our troll friend wouldn't get a (you)
Dude I am frickin excited to pirate this and play it when it comes out. Its gonna be so frickin bad im gonna love it. Im gonna try to bully my older bro to come over to play it as well. SH2 is his favorite game so I know hes gonna love how they ruined it.
Kek I am crying. But anyway, who gives a shit about this remake when enhanced edition is already superior and still relevant today? Seriously, why are you even expecting the remake at this point? There is nothing to remake about SH2. Graphical fidelity would ruin the inner-void look on James' face anyway. As you can see in the remake, he is constantly crying, why the frick is he crying? Kek.
Pouty face James made me cry laughing it was so good
I get what they were going for but i james was never known for emoting much. Giving him a 🙁 face felt so... ridiculous in a way
Yeah it's just weird. James' face is supposed to be clueless, and depressed. And no, it's not because PS2 graphics were not enough to show it bla bla, cutscenes are mostly handmade and his face is also void in those cutscenes. Not some constant angry/crying face that is about to say swear words momentarily.
Funniest part is him rushing into the bathroom and busting open the door to go pout in the mirror because of reasons…. He’s not supposed to remember what he did to his wife at that point so what the frick?

Best sh2 track coming through
?si=xnB2zvbeHpkLD8eg
I think the West has really forgotten about human emotions entirely. Original SH2 was a very VERY nice depiction of a deluded and depressed human being. You can't picture a trauma better than what that game did, for each character. Then I am looking at this remake, what the frick is his face supposed to convey? Same for quite a lot of modern games, they don't even resonate at all, as if the stories and characters aren't based on humans but some alien species. What is happening?
Sh 1-4 ruined every other horror game for me since they released. Gameplay wise there are superior ones out there but absolutely nothing touches the atmosphere and God tier artistry work. It’s like chasing the dragon trying to find something that can compete in my eyes.
>there but absolutely nothing touches the atmosphere and God tier artistry work
It was good the first time. By the third time I was fricking over it. It's actually a kind of shallow franchise and that's why it died. The gimmick wore off and once that happened people realized there's nothing else there but bad gameplay.
>By the third time I was fricking over it.
This is why Konami and Japanese people are gay. The people left over from 1&2 didn’t want a sequel to the first game but were forced to by Konami because 2 was “too different” and wasn’t received with in Japan because of it. They wanted to continue experimenting with different ideas for the third game but became pigeon holed because of suits and loregays.
I think only Amnesia gave me that vibe I had from original SH trilogy. You can see how much effort was put into the story, details and atmosphere of Amnesia. I know it's ruined by youtuber autists but it really is a solid game and revived survival horror for that decade. Then we have never seen another game approaching SH.
I already expected nothing, but I won't even waste time watching footage now. Thanks.
You fricking promised you'd take me there again someday, but you never fricking did. Well, I'm alone there now, in our special fricking place
>What the frick... that chick, she looks like my b***h of an ex?

Anon, it's been dead for years in the first place.
Everything we see now is just the body being crudely animated with electric shocks hoping to bring it back to life.
>Best hope for Silent hill fans is a game written by the guy who made Higurashi.
What a world we live in.
That shit with flowers looked NOTHING like Silent Hill.
could be a cool horror on its own right, but it shouldn't have been called Silent Hill.
When Toyama went on to make Siren, he called it something else, they should've done the same.
This. Why even fricking bother with a silent hill “what if”? Just do a separate game. Silent Hill at its core is a Japanese take on American horror, even Toyama has stated this. The flower shit looked like it was trying too hard to appeal to weebs and looks too reminiscent of something like fatal frame.
>Silent Hill at its core is a Japanese take on American horror
It doesn't feel very Japanese at all to me. The closest it gets to feeling Japanese is the guy killing his wife because she wouldn't put out anymore. Only in Japan would that be considered "understandable". To any sane civilized human that would be seen as reprehensible and unforgivable.
>It doesn't feel very Japanese at all to me.
That’s the exact point I was trying to make. Again, it’s a Japanese developers take on American horror movies and novels like the Mist.
Pretty much; Silent Hill is also fundamentally about the town itself also, you can't do Silent Hill outside of Silent Hill, even The Room and Revelations or whatever were related.
Silent Hill is about the town in the same way The Twilight Zone is about the twilight zone.
Is this good or bad? I've never read Higurashi and I don't know if it's good or not

>>P3R adding a way to save the MC from dying
haven't been keeping up with that, has that been confirmed (or even hinted at) at all or is that just a rumor?
just doomposting from a schizo, ignore him
This is why I was trying to warn everyone upon the announcement. I wasn't trying to be negative but sh1-3 are some of my favorite games and I just didn't trust bloober touching it. Non Japanese don't belong touching Silent Hill. I will not be buying this and I hope none of you do.
Based silent hill autist. I say this in the most endearing way possible. The real fans of the series deserve better than Konami and Bloober.
I’ll get slammed for this but I really wanted to see Kojima’s vision for SH.
I mean better than what bloober is going to do. At least PT had huge promise.
PT in real time on release with Ganker was amazing. One of my favorite gaming memories.
It would be an interesting game probably but I doubt it would feel anything like a Silent Hill game at all.
This will most likely turn into many such cases of remakes for me.
>any time I want to play the game, I just play the original
They were obviously trying to cash in on re4 remake's success.
You have to be terminally moronic to expect good things from Konami and Bloober.
I don’t think anybody expected anything good but also didn’t expect anything this blatantly bad kek
Do not engage with the homosexual Bloober shill
>nooo they're making a fresh new experience
And that's a good thing, if they can make the combat engaging on top of everything else it's going to be a better game for it. Anyways, everyone should buy this game since you are not just buying SH2, you're funding the development of SH1/3 remakes.
>everyone should buy this game since you are not just buying SH2, you're funding the development of SH1/3 remakes.
I'll make sure to pirate it extra hard to bleed their coffers dry.
eat shit and die
It’s over. But I am enjoying it for some reason kekkk
What pisses me off is that YOU KNOW people are gonna buy this shit and immediately start saying "it's better than the original" and that will just become an accepted fact by everyone and anyone who dares question it will be shot down. I fricking hate this planet.
That will happen but then unless the remake has any merit of its own (it won't) it will be quickly forgotten as another FOTM shit.
Same as Demon's Souls and Dead Space.
Nobody who praised the remake fricking talks about it, everyone who liked it was a moron chasing another popular thing and now all discussion left is original fans shitting on these.
That will only happen if they put somethig political in it I think
>political thing found in game

Jesus.., literal marketing hack bag of clichés. Good bye Bloober it was nice knowing you.
Amazing observation, Anon. Solid 9/10.
To give you some context the game starts off in the toilet with him staring at the mirror like a zombie with a hand around his face, then when he snaps out of it you get to control him and as you walk out of the toilet this cutscene starts.
Basically he had a very bad manic episode right before that and everything indicates to that.

Silent Hill F and Homecoming are my last hope. Homecoming because its made by NoCode who pulled off Observation really fricking well and F because its made by that Korean guy everyone is hyping up.
Cool?
Silent Hill games fricking suck to play, you'd probably have a better experience watching a video essay about it than playing the original
t. sub 100 IQ
Nah
I like Tank controls, Resident Evil 1 is fun
Silent Hill gameplay is just shit
It's time to stop posting Anon.
SH2 is very easy and has quite a basic control scheme but it's mechanically fine. It just has enough to not be a movie game but I can't imagine anyone being bothered by the gameplay. Arguably the corridor chase was awkward because the controls weren't made for fast movement but it's one minute of the game.
Any news about Silent Hill F ?
Nothing I'd like to talk about.
It exists and will continue to do so for the foreseable future
Good.
Total remake death
Would play
underrated
only western studio that could make a decent SH game is remedy. no one else comes close. I expect mgs twin snakes levels of bad from this one. it will somewhat look like sh2, somewhat play like sh2 but it sure as won't feel like sh2 and will have parts that you will absolutely hate.
So its not Silent Hill? Thanks for the update, you dumbass devs for making a completely unrelated remake with the Silent Hill 2 name.
Man, Nu Western devs have been on a roll lately in helping me save money

Gee, i wonder why
Its gonna be the same with SH2R, but not because it's bad or anything, but because people have already played it a million times too
normies are killing video games
this is clickbait title
I hate bloober and the remake will be shit, but all they're talking about here is that they'll have more gameplay and less "psychological" walking sim for their next games, which is not a bad thing actually
why do remakes exist
Easy money.
Remaking a game people like will make at least 3 times more money than any new game the company could ever make, no matter how good or "soulful" it is
It's not that it makes more money if it hits, It's that it's a safe(r) bet and reduces development costs because you skip all pre-production.
Is bloober team a Sony dev or something? It seems the only do Sony remakes and half of them turn out shit (SotC was okay).
No, they just work for Sony often.
intro
James: Oh, well, isn't this just a delightful turn of events? I mean, I've got a letter here, folks. Hold on to your hats. The envelope is practically shouting, "Hey, look at me! I've got secrets inside!" And whose name is gracing this tantalizing piece of mystery? None other than 'Mary.' Yes, you heard me right, Mary. You know, the name that just so happens to belong to my dearly departed wife. Oh, shit, the drama thickens!
So, here I am, standing in my living room, holding this piece of paper that's practically begging me to unravel its wicked little riddle. And what's my brilliant response? "It's ridiculous! Couldn't possibly be true!" Oh, yeah, because the dead are notorious for their fabulous penmanship and impeccable timing. Seriously, what's next? A zombie's guide to calligraphy?
But no, no, I'm not done with the self-talk show just yet. "A dead person can't write a letter," I mutter as if I'm providing groundbreaking insights into the afterlife postal service. Bravo, Captain Obvious, bravo! Oh, and let's not forget the heartwarming moment when I realize that Mary kicked the bucket three whole years ago thanks to that freaking disease. Well, isn't this a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap opera?
this should be in every bloober SH thread from now on
Somebody make Frank West read this, either through AI or a killer impression. Please. I'm begging you.
>silhouette of a monster slowly moving towards the protagonist
>what the... fricking hell is that motherfricking butthole
yeah i love silent hill dialogue
>Bloober makes psychological horror walking sims
>Ganker shits on them
>Bloober listens to criticism decides to try making real survival horror games
>Ganker still shits on them
You homosexuals are never happy, are you?
>company with a history of making shitty horror games is given Silent Hill 2 to completely remake
You will eat any shit game devs put on a plate and into your hand with a pricetag of just $70 (*not including the day one dlc)
I'm happy when I play games made by good developers
Bloober isn't one of them
you problem?
Imagine being a non indie developer in this day and age
Imagine some suit destroying any chance of any coherent creative vision
Nah
Do you have less hope for Silent Hill 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3 remake?
sh2 remake is going to be so much worse and it's not even a contest
Revengenece memehomosexuals are going to be disappointed by MGS3 remake, while everyone except marketers and most braindead of consumers will disappointed by SH2 remake
Good idea. SH2 is massively unpopular so of course it needs to be completely changed for a remake. That's why they're remaking it, because it's massively unpopular and nobody likes it
No one likes the gameplay except redditors
No one likes the story except redditors either
Pack it in folks. They sold the soul and point of the series to the highest bidder.
>SILENT HILL 2
>PSYCHOLOGICAL TACTICAL ESPIONAGE SEXY NURSE COMBAT
I asked for this
>Gets picked for being a dev studio that focuses primarily on atmosphere and story telling
>Let's shift attention and focus on gameplay and mass market research
I can only imagine Ito must be regretting to ever get involved in this piece of shit remake.
At this point I'm hoping for "Mary... where the frick are you?" to actually be in the game, probably not but the memes would be hilarious.
>Press X to kill your fricking wife
>Hold right trigger to cry
>eastern dev remakes an eastern game
Has a solid chance to be good.
>western dev remakes western game
Can go either way.
>western dev remakes an eastern game
Probably gonna suck.
Does that track?
Absolutely. Jap games from the golden era are some sort of obscure magic for western devs. They can enjoy but never understand it. It's like asking japs to make a decent FPS or point and click adventure. They lack the layers of culture that give birth to such creative projects.
This is of course a generalisation. There's probably some nerd that can get the jap feeling right and some jap westaboo that can make a decent shooter. But common wisdom advices against it.
You just made me realize the Japanese really don’t make first person games.
Same here, the only ones I can think of are the old SMT games.
Metroid prime and re7/8 for me
It sounds like they're saying the next game they make won't be horror? Does that matter? I don't even know what they made besides this remake? If it's not another silent Hill game, who cares what genre it is?
Hot opinion: Good for them.
They sucked ass at psyhological horror anyway and they have been nothing but hacks copying stuff without finesse or personal talent worth speaking about. Im sorry SH2 is dragged into this but i never expected anything good from that remake anyway.
They will probably be better ar action. Or at least i hope so because their ""horror"" games were fricking shit and no one liked them or knows why they got so far.
Ive actually watched a few vids about them now. It seems like they have been trying remake SH2 for quite awile now. Guess they are getting the perfect version of that wish.
my heart
I loved her
waaaaah
based
WE ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING, WE ALL KNEW IT WAS OGRE BEFORE IT STARTED. anybody who truly is surprised just didn't pay attention. this is not news of any kind, i hope it bombs so fricking hard they ban them from working in the industry. pieces of shit.
Eileen getting possesed
but can Eileen kiss the hole?
That's both hot and creepy. SH4 is severely underrated.
I liked Henry. When you start the game he says its been 5 days. I got the impression it wasn't until day 3 or 4 when he ran out of food that he realized the gravity of his situation.
I'M GOING TO KILL PYRAMIDHEAD
What has blooper created before of their own?
Music Master: Chopin – Classic (2010)
Nice, didn't know they created Chopin's songs and didn't merely create a game based off composure written by others.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
REDDIT HILL 2 BTFO
Cringe8dnjd2
They dont know wtf they are doing with the IP.
They are going to butcher it.
Thank god Konami did not subsidize MGS3 to another company
>we want to do this in our game
>and that
>also that
>that
>and so we'll do it in somebody else's game
>Let's remake one of the biggest psychological horror titles
>Not as a psychological horror tho
How many layers of moronation could these guys be one
Enough layers to create fear
Maybe they just like money and know that marketing a video game to the 2% of the gaming population that cares about “tone” and “atmosphere” is dumb. With the graphical resources that are required to make a video game now they can’t risk blowing a 100 million dollars on a game most people won’t get.
Elden ring sold over 20 million copies.
Elden Bling was sold on being that difficult game that normalgays accepted putting some time to get gud at. The "tone" is all over the place.
I never felt good about this remake. It didnt have an ounce of soul. Frick it. We had a good Dead Space Remake and RE4make was great so I guess 2 out of 3 is better than we shouldve hoped for. Basically dead on arrival at this point.
If you people truly give a frick aside from random Ganker sperging write them a letter not an email a letter
from their website:
Bloober Team SA
Aleja Pokoju 18b
31-564 Kraków
Poland
pay me to do their job and sure, I'd consider wiping their ass for them.
I've literally never played a silent hill game longer than twenty minutes and I thought the first movie was fricking amazing. In that way at least, it mogs Resident Evil. Dropping horror for what even? Probably a terrible move. Good luck morons, I hope it pays off
>I've literally never played a silent hill game longer than twenty minutes
Why?
I was FRICKING weak. That's why I FRICKING needed you... needed someone to punish me for my FRICKING sins... but that's all FRICKING over now... I know the FRICKING truth. Now it's time to clobber these imaginary zombies that I FRICKING manifested in my own FRICKING mind.
God, I fricking hate Poles. We should have let the USSR and Germany keep them.
Eileen looking at Henry
Ganker simulator?
So Ganker, any guesses on who will be race swapped first? My guess is Laura.
She already appears in the trailer and is white there.
Layers of Fear was amazing, too. What a bunch of homosexuals.
Test
Old horror games played like shit so this might actually be a genuine improvement.
You don't get it. Silent Hill 2 played that way to convey the main character's struggle and to show how he isn't someone who's used to fighting.
I really hate frickers like you. You're the reason horror games are just turning into generic shooters.
If *game* doesn't play like *generic third person shooter* or *generic fps* these morons can't figure out how to play it. They're a disease
How do they keep making the same mistakes with SH?
You have to wonder if it’s done on purpose at this point
Because Bloober Team would do it for pennies, and Konami is all about spending as little as possible for maximum profit
>SH2 gays really thought they weren't going to continue being the most punished fanbase
I wouldnt talk such big shit, cabin boy. have fun with your live action shitshow
After the HD Collection not to mention Downpour, Homecoming and that Book of Black folk on Vita, I honestly thought they were just going to let it die. It would be preferable. This is like they tried to dig up the corpse to showcase it at a museum and Bloober came in like this
just be glad theyll never have the balls to make a silent hill 2 movie. it can rest in peace in that regard
>he doesn’t know
OH NO NO NO
is there a new project in the works for that? theyve tried before, and it will fail before they even release a trailer just like before. i do know
Anon
wont ever happen
They’re already filming it. Did you not watch the silent hill transmission last year?
I lay 10,000 curses upon them, may every elf and spirit and all you hippie tiny people hamper their efforts. a pox on their families and crops
Anon, my beloved...
youre a dumb Black person that didnt watch the movie, that was based on silent hill 3 not 2. they will NEVER make a movie based on 2 because it would be the final straw for SH fans and konami CEOS would be getting lynched and tortured
I know its based on 3, Jon Snow played Vincent for some fricking reason, it was a terrible movie. The fact is they took PH, who is James' personal tormentor/demon and threw him in, they shat all over SH2 just by doing that in the same way that Homecoming did the same by having PH in that game too
they did that since the first movie, they put pyramid head in literally everything. but do they put james in everything? no. he has been completely removed from his origins as james' personal demon/dharamapala. hes been a lesser konami mascot for many years now. the complexity of the story in 2 is too much to handle to market it or commercialize on it. I would bet alot of people who know who pyramid head is have literally never played silent hill 2 or have any idea about what he is other than spooky triangle man
>Article says they're done with psychological horror AFTER they finish this
>Ganker keeps trying, day after day, to spin this into them changing SH2
