A new psychological horror game is in the makings by Bloober Team - it comes with a seriously disturbing teaser trailer.
Bloober Team states that the Silent Hill 2 remake marketing and promotion is expected to ramp up "very soon," though it falls entirely on Konami.
Bloober Team is gunning for the very top of the horror game developer pantheon, having shipped six consecutive spookfests in under a decade and nearing the finish line on the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake.
I don’t think anything Blooper have done has made me think they are anywhere near the masters of horror
In fact it scares me more that they were chosen for this project
Agreed, i like their enthusiasm but they just never get there, I'm desperately hoping they finally hit the mark with this.....because its all we've got but my gut feeling is it will flop. fingers crossed it doesn't.
Microsoft just bought Activation Blizzard and the best PlayStation has done with Jim Ryan was a timed exclusive of this game AND they're about to lose the ONLY major exclusive that helped define the PlayStation 3 when the Metal Gear Solid Vol 2 ships. PlayStation (Jim Ryan), how could you lose the Metal Gear franchise? Why didn't you snag the IP while you could and return it to it's rightful owner conditioned upon it staying PlayStation exclusive if Kojima ever wanted to make any more Metal Gear games
Bloomer team is not awful but it’s very mid. I liked the medium but it was still only like a 6.5.
Looking forward to it as I really enjoyed The Medium, good atmosphere puzzles and really nailed the story which I wasn't expecting to be so hard hitting. Will be interesting to see what they do with a Silent Hill game.
It looks like Bloober Team is counting on their future projects to really sell a lot, as the studio's boss thinks that 10 million units sold is a "realistic" and achieve-able number.
I'm not saying they'll reach 10 million but they have a great foundation given that this is a remake of a great game and it's going to look next gen
I wouldn't take to much heed into this story as they have updated with an apology due to poor translation. In otherworldly what they ate implying isn't what was actually said.
I just remembered The Last of Us did that feat twice over. However that’s the outlier and not the rule, what with TLOU being the best selling horror game of all time and all
@ Sam
A great original game and high production values doesn’t guarantee a great game. I’m hoping they can fulfill critical expectations though
I don't really think tlou falls into a horror category to be honest it feels more like a drama scripted fallout game then something designed to scare
TLOU is not a horror game because developers dont not market it as horror game neither do they state its a horror game.
While RE is marketed as horror game.
Bloober doesn't make naughty dog quality. The Medium was hailed as impressive next gen AAA by some and it was neither. It was an average and limited horror game. I expect higher quality with SH2 but it's still Bloober. Blair Witch, LoF, Medium are not 90 meta, 10m seller types. They hardly do combat so i question how it will be in SH2.
That's true but I'm confident that hey can knock it out of the park with what they have to work with
These developers need to shut up and let their games do the talking, they have quite a huge undertaking with SH2, They either hit a home run with that one or it will be considered a failure, no in-between.
The Medium was all hype as well. I'm waiting for gameplay until i believe them.
Funny enough, the more they talk it up the less confident I am... Hopefully I'm proven wrong, as I'd love for this to be fantastic.
Yeah it’s weird
Talking about what they want to be going forward, the leading horror developer, and talking about sales
Like guys, focus on getting the game out and up to scratch
They've announced that it's nearly done, maybe they're just very confident in what they've made
I'm hoping they knock this out of the park, but those are highly, highly optimistic numbers.
As popular an IP as it is, they're basically saying they want this one remake to basically match the sales of the entire series prior.
Silent Hill was always a somewhat niche series. At least compared to something like Resident Evil.
To put it into perspective, indie titles of the last decade or so gained way more popularity than Silent Hill ever had, and we far less releases in total.
The Forest - 5 million copies sold (with the sequel having just released and selling 2 million copies in the first day alone)
Outlast series (2 games and an expansion) - 15 million copies sold
To be fair there millions more gamers these days gaming then there was last time a good silent game came out
True, but not by ten-fold, you know. I mean, we're talking about a remake of what many consider the best in the series (I like 4 the best, personally) and even that only sold a million copies.
I'm very hard pressed to believe we'll see anything close to that number. If they hit even half that I would call that striking gold.
I want the game to do well. I want to see Silent Hill on store shelves again. As much as I also love Resident Evil, especially now after 7, and great remakes of 2 and (seemingly) 4, I've always held Silent Hill on a higher personal pedestal.
