>Silent Hill 2 is likely one of the most anticipated remakes in history, with millions of players around the world waiting for any scrap of info or screenshot of the upcoming survival horror masterpiece. However, as remote workers struggle with an unwanted return-to-office mandate from Konami and Bloober Team, Kotaku has learned from sources with knowledge of the game’s development process that Silent Hill 2 could miss its 2024 release window and slip into 2025.
>As for why some believed this was the case, it seems this information was out-of-date and a symptom of Konami’s tightening security and communication within the company. I’m told not everyone is always on the same page or kept up to date across the various departments and teams. Personally, I can confirm it’s become harder to nail down details since the leaks.
>However, the majority of sources were certain that late 2024 is no longer possible. Instead, the target is firmly “Fall 2025” and while most seem confident of hitting that date, I’m still told there is a possibility of a delay, as previously reported.
its over
>bloober team
why are indians so nasty, where are their food safety standards?
like wear some gloves
>ike wear some gloves
Gloves usually are less sanitary than using clean hands as the gloves you would use to handle food can end up touching raw meat and cross contaminating all your shit unless you're changing out your gloves every time you touch meat.
same with hands you dumb frick
>unless you're changing out your gloves every time you touch meat.
yes, that is what you're supposed to do, rajeesh.
I don't like Indian food at all, but firstly
>wear some gloves
Nobody wears gloves in food prep. They have sinks. They wash their hands, because gloves would be constantly switched out to prevent cross contamination and can't be washed/wiped off the same way your hands can.
Secondly, if you're living in North America and eat anything other than your local Michelin Star restaurant, your food was likely made in close proximity to various bugs, rats, or fecal matter, in addition to likely being cooked from frozen in some capacity.
Thirdly, if you're living pretty much anywhere that isn't parts of Western Europe or Italy, your food was made in even worse conditions, close to on par if not worse than the video.
sar do not redeem
>Thirdly, if you're living pretty much anywhere that isn't parts of Western Europe or Italy, your food was made in even worse conditions, close to on par if not worse than the video.
lol I worked at a fricking wendys and it was a million times more sanitary than that video. keep coping pajeet
it's funny because even Indians know not to eat Indian Street food
I worked as a linecook at several nice-ish US restaurants and everyone virtually never wore gloves. Usually popped one on to throw a chx breast on the grill, but hey sometime dinner rush gets nuts and you try to just use the tips of your fingers and wipe em on whatever towel is nearby before plating another diner's steak
Indians do not eat food for the purpose of digestion, it is simply fuel for the lubrication of streets. With feces.
Gloves cost money. These videos are pretty much always from some slum next to the laundry city or whatever.
In my restless fricking dreams, I see that shithole town, Silent Fricking Hill.
WELCOME TO SILENT FRICKING HILL BAYBEEEE

In what universe?
Does Silent Hill (1) even exist? I never hear anything about it.
Game devs are kinda crazy with the numbering sometimes

It's like Final Fantasy 7 you know, it's just a stylistic choice, like Fahrenheit 451
That one didn't get 1238712390734097 video essays about how deep it is so nobody cares about it
more like nobody cares about it because it's a ps1 game with ps1 graphics
>Graphics determine how good a game is
yes, that's exactly how a lot of Black personcattle "think". welcome to planet Earth, enjoy your stay.
by the way, why do you think the hacks that made the awful hd collection did not bother with SH1?
>by the way, why do you think the hacks that made the awful hd collection did not bother with SH1?
They would have had to put effort into remastering that one, whereas Silent Hill 2 and 3 already looked fine enough.
>They would have had to put effort into remastering that one
exactly
also in case you don't know, they managed to botch both SH2 and SH3. SH2 has visual glitches and so does 3, but 3 also runs like 1/3 slower than it does on the PS2
>also in case you don't know, they managed to botch both SH2 and SH3.
I'm well aware, though as far as I've heard that came mostly out of Konami having not had the full source code and set of assets for both games on hand and the team having to piece it back together themselves.
seems like a skill issue to me
as far as I know bluepoint made the mistake hd remaster from reverse engineering retail copies of the games while having no source code to use as a base
>by the way, why do you think the hacks that made the awful hd collection did not bother with SH1?
The collection was initially a PS3 exclusive project. PS3 already had SH1.
>Tom Hullet damage control
I don't care enough, otherwise I would dig up the video where you said you were considering SH1 but also mentioned it would take effort, you incompetent Black person with an inflated ego
>>Tom Hullet damage control
Nah, the game was literally announced just for PS3. The Xbox 360 stuff was an extra announcement after fan outcry.
Silent Hill just doesn't represent what Silent Hill is about, apparently.
read: we will start with 2 because it has the widest appeal and is the safest bet when it comes to sales
I mean, he's not wrong.
Silent Hill 1's key staff never worked on any other SH games in a major capacity and you can see that when you compare the games.
2, 3, and 4 are far more about psychological themes relating to the player character as well as the antagonist, with more textually overt stories and far more blunt imagery than 1 ever had. 2 and 3 had also drifted away from a lot of the "Japanese"ness of 1 (though 4 returned to it, moreso to prod at an audience that might be interested in that specifically).
SH after that point was also far closer to 2 than it was to 1. I'd argue there isn't a single other SH game in the series like 1.
moron take. SH3 was a direct sequel to SH1. The reason the game is so focused on Heather is because she was a reincarnation of the girl from the first game and she was literally carrying a demon god in her belly. Of course it had to center a lot around her besides the fact she is the fricking protagonist. For Harry he wasn't even her biological father and he had no idea the girl he adopted was some reincarnation of a sacrificed girl. So it makes sense it wasn't centered exclusively around him. This doesn't mean that the team from 1 wouldn't have made games similar to the later games we saw. Team Silent did have at least a few important core people all the way into the fourth game before it was disbanded. The music guy though stayed for I think all of the games including that shitty handheld one.
The reason this series is in the trash heap it is in is thanks to western developers make absolutely no mistakes about that. Had it at least stayed in Japanese hands it wouldn't have gone to such shit like we have seen past 4.
>moron take. SH3 was a direct sequel to SH1.
The real moron take is not getting what I meant.
It's about TONE and PRESENTATION. SH1 is a game that very much obscures a lot of its ideas so the player, on replays, will constantly find new understanding, it's about reconstructing a crime scene in regards to its presentation, a lot of characters say literal nonsense at you.
This changes come 2, as a number of key staff left or were less involved. 2 is a very blunt game, characters don't mince words unless it's to obscure harsh topics to remain tasteful (and even then, Angela is really damn blunt). 3 follows 2 in that respect, its presentation and tone are far more comparable to 2 (even ignoring both are games focused on the player character's "personal demons", unlike 1).
> Team Silent did have at least a few important core people all the way into the fourth game before it was disbanded.
The only core guy that worked on all four games was Yamaoka. Every game essentially had a different core staff with some exceptions (namely Owaku and Ito being on both 2 and 3).
>Had it at least stayed in Japanese hands it wouldn't have gone to such shit like we have seen past 4.
Short Message was developed entirely by a Japanese team, including several Konami legacy staff who worked on the original SH games. Shut up.
>3 follows 2 in that respect, its presentation and tone are far more comparable to 2 (even ignoring both are games focused on the player character's "personal demons", unlike 1).
I think you are just confusing the fact that SH1 was the introduction to the series of SH and SH3 being closer to SH2 is simply because of a few things:
1. It was rushed
2. It was a PS2 game just like SH2
It really is as simple as that. Even then it still feels like a very obvious direct sequel to SH3 and feels much more in line with that game imo than SH2. Also not getting what you are saying about characters speaking nonsense to the player. That is only Dahlia and Kaufman since they are the villains of the game and don't want to let Harry in on any important shit. Lisa is a monster but she doesn't know she is until she finally does. Cybil has always been straight with Harry. I've played SH1 at least 5 different times. The western devs copied SH2 simply because they saw it had the most appreciation of the games online. Even today you got people making these analysis and retrospectives on the game that are more fairly recent uploads and not many years old.
Not that guy but there was never a definitive Team Silent. A lot of members kept leaving and joining between games. All of them were coming from Konami's KECET division throughout the years until higher-ups shut it down in the late 2000s and started chasing Western devs because of trends just like Capcom tbh
I’d argue the series identity was the mix of psychological horror plus the occult
Almost every game in the series has the cult directly or indirectly
When you see it...
Didnt Remedy already have an SBI infestation? How many fricking Black person DEI companies are they using for their games? and then they wonder why they cant break even? kek someone needs to fire their accountant
They did a "reimagining" of it and it was fricking terrible. GOOD thing they don't talk about it. In fact, it would be great if people stopped talking about the franchise altogether and left the old games alone.
Capcom, now is your time to release another remake.
WTF this is so sad!!
I wanted to play this game as soon as possible. I hear so many people praise SH2 but I can't play the original because it's so clunky 🙁
hopefully it can be outright canned soon too
Is there any company that has fumbled their beloved IPs harder than Konami? Closest I can think of is microsoft with 343 Halo.
I think EA still holds the top spot there.
EA didnt remaster the best game in the series and then only use it for a pachinko machine
Konami is currently doing a remake of MGS3 and a remaster recently came out, so that's kind of a moot point these days.
>they are doing a remaster 10 years later so all is forgiven
moron
>remaster
It's a handful of cutscenes with zero art direction or stylistic intent. If you actually played the machine, you'd know that a large portion of it is just straight up scenes from the HD Collection.
Well Microsoft/343 fumbling Halo is far bigger and way more epic of a fumble than Silent Hill ever was. Halo is literally supposed to be the flagship franchise of Xbox and at this point its so far away from that.
squarepenis
EA still has the rights to Ultima.
this isn't sad news why would you lie to me just like that
whats up with these [sad news] [good news] in name field? are these bots or what?

Why do homosexuals make up shit, nobody asks for sauce, and every that replies acts like its a fuking fact
Bc this site is frequented by children and the mentally disabled
Not even the most braindead SHgay is excited after that disastrous trailer
What’s the source on this bc I checked Kotaku and it’s not there
Anon's creative writing assignment
They just need to bite the bullet and fire the frick out of Bloober team and then grind them into the dust individually to send a message they care about the IP before finding someone else to make the game.
>send a message they care about the IP
Look as long as Bloober team has their lives destroyed I don't really care if Konami was genuine or not.
>Konami caring about anything other than cheap cashgrabs
wew
I'm an optimist from a distance and then a nihilist when things get close.
Jesus Christ, what a scam studio. For your information, these are the same Poles that trademarked the two-worlds mechanic. A concept that they obviously ripped off. This game's like 6-7 hours long and is their supposed "dream game" they wanted to remake.
Eileen shaving
These guys bit off more than they could chew and they know it. Honestly I still think it's gonna sell well based on fame alone, plus a lot of Silent Hill 2 fans will be able to play it for the first time.
>plus a lot of Silent Hill 2 fans will be able to play it for the first time.
sad 🙁
Why did they pick Bloober team? They're KNOWN for being shitty for keeping up with deadlines
you dont pick you get what management gives you
It keeps getting pushed back further and further.
But if by some chance it's successful, people are gonna be awfully confused if they remake them in the order of 2, 1, and then 3. In 2032.
Choose
that little brat!
>all white
oh no no no no
Maria. As I've gotten older I've come to appreciate her: the biggest loser in SH2's story, born only to fulfill her role and die again and again at James' hand until he finally fricking gets it, vilified all the way. Her and Angela are the characters I'm most concerned about their integrity in the Remake.
Adult Alessa is the hottest and it's not even close.
daily tight chocking bdsm roleplay sessions with lady Fukuro sama tbh
This is good because the trailer looked rough. The game will still be nowhere as good as the original but for what they are creating they better delay it so that the game can at least be competent enough as a video game.

We don't need remakes of sixth gen games.
Anyone interested in or advertising this degenerate shit should be killed.
