Silent Hill 2 Remake - What Can We Expect From Bloober Team?

Ever since the release of Layers of Fear, Bloober's games have been obsessed with getting you inside the damaged minds of their characters–sometimes literally. However, their games have also attracted criticism for their sometimes troubling messaging around trauma and mental health.

We can expect one of the best video games ever made

Snookies12581d ago

One can only hope... Not writing them off just yet, but they HAVE to knock this one out of the park.

Terry_B581d ago (Edited 581d ago )

My first comment was meant to be sarcastic but..

I mean..none of their games are masterpieces, but Blooberteam started with a really bad game, and the studio improved and learned with every game. SH2 has a great story and characters, if Bloober gets the gameplay parts and the mood of the story right with modern graphics, we can expect something truly great. (Pleaaaase)

SullysCigar581d ago

Lol surely, given the source material and how beloved it is, SURELY even they can't eff this one up?! 🙏

bloop580d ago

I thought the same thing when Disney bought Star Wars. With the source material and how beloved it is, surely they couldn't f*ck it up, but now the whole franchise is a dumpster fire.

SullysCigar580d ago

^ OMG could you imagine if Silent Hill went to Disney?! How do you 'woke' Silent Hill? Lol they'd give it a damn good try, I'm sure!

On the plus side, you just made me realise Blooper Team is bad, but actually it could be FAR worse!

Aussiesummer581d ago

We can expect a whole lot of people in denial because of a strong nostalgia trip.
Bloober team doesnt make good games, why does everyone suddenly think that's gonna stop here?

Flawlessmic581d ago

Because the game and story are already there for them, literally all they need to do is obviously make it look good and update the game mechanics to a modern standard and that's it!

It basically like a teacher writing your essay for you and then asking you change some words so it's not obvious they did it.

Hate that's it's bloober team working on it but still, it's all there for them, it's one of those it's harder to fuck this up type of thing.

sheepskin581d ago

based on their recent games, i have zero reason to believe that they will get it right this time. nothing about the SH2 trailer sparked confidence to be honest. it will be a mediocre game at best and a terrible silent hill at worst

Aussiesummer578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

Let's bloody hope so. I'm praying for a God damned miracle.

goldwyncq581d ago

FormSoftware made mediocre games until Demon's Souls (sorry Armored Core fans). People should stop treating studios like they're always going to suck and start giving more of them the benefit of the doubt.

FGHFGHFGH580d ago

Demon's Souls was the first game Miyazaki was given full control. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Aussiesummer578d ago

All Bloober ever did was plagiarise games, making sad copies of them then made 3 bad "original" games, they are not getting the benefit of any doubt.

Hofstaderman581d ago

Not much, unfortunately. Based on Bloobers track record I’m not overly excited hopefully they will prove me wrong.
Konami should have give this to Sony and let them assign a developer to it.

Gamesual1581d ago

Not much tbh due to their track record but hopefully they surprise us big time with auch an important project.

Thundercat77580d ago (Edited 580d ago )

This is going to be a turning point in the career of the studio Bloober. They either make a critically acclaimed hit or they will become the most hated studio for ruining one of the most important game.

They neck is in the table.

Istanbul based developer teases new game based on Turkish mythology

Shadowfall Studios have announced via X.com the studio is now an official PlayStation partner.

darksky2h ago

Looks like a Skyrim clone. Very interesting if done well.

Laskin1h ago

Since it’s Turkish, the “myth” is probably the Armenian holocaust :(

Terry_B1h ago

Is there even one good game created in the Turkey so far?

PitbullMonster1h ago

Metin 1&2 and the Mount and Blade Series are the most known ones.

Michiel198954m ago

Metin ....how dare you name that in the same sentence with the word "good"

I truly hope so.. day one buy

Ninver1d ago

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga1d ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear2118h ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan13h ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop10h ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

The barber shop and roulette wheel are going to be awesome.

Pay to win is the new free to play

CrimsonWing6923h ago(Edited 23h ago)

It’ll be monetized to all hell, regardless

StormSnooper22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.

Sorry George Miller, but you’re wrong about the Mad Max game

George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.

Mad Max is a good game... George Miller should STFU.

Old_Scout16h ago

He didn't say it wasn't good. Maybe you should take your own advice and look past the articles misleading headline. Here's the actual quote. “wasn’t as good as we wanted it to, it wasn’t in our hands.” That is all he said about it.

S2Killinit12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

In my opinion the guy himself Is pretty mediocre, so I dont like how he talks as if he’s something special. I dont think he would know a good game if it hit him in the face.

StormSnooper12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

If George Miller had good taste he wouldn’t be wearing those ridiculous glasses.

-Foxtrot1d 12h ago

I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.

Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.

Wretchedstain1d 6h ago

Article is correct in my opinion, Miller is wrong. That Death Stranding II trailer is bonkers, looking forward to that in itself.

And I agree, unless Mr Kojima wants to change his tune, or laughably, be told what to do, you're right, it wouldn't be Mad Max or close.

porkChop1d 6h ago

Yup, Kojima really doesn't suit Mad Max. Avalanche did a great job though. It looked, felt, and played like what I'd expect from a Mad Max game. I really enjoyed my time with it, and the sand storms were handled incredibly well.

jznrpg14h ago

I think Kojima could definitely make a great Mad Max game.

SubtilizZer11h ago

I disagree… I don’t want to see Kojima do Mad Max or whatever… But I disagree with your take. Kojima is first a huge fan of film. I think saying he wouldn’t be able to stick to the lore of the world that was built is kinda crazy.

I’m sure he would be able to stick to the creative confines of the source material fairly well. Chances are he’s a huge fan.

I’m sure he’s a bit of a”buzzword” sure but I’m willing to bet it’s mutual respect for his work as well.

TheGamingHounds1d 5h ago

I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure

maelstromb1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

MM is not a perfect game by any means as it was held back by lots of repetitious, standard open-world copy and paste missions, but the devs SO perfectly captured the world, atmosphere, lore and brutality. It also just so happens to boast one of THE best photo modes out there and some of the most impressive explosions I've ever seen in a game to date. The car combat is of course another impressive standout, both vicious and fun. MM is a game which I have revisited multiple times since its release, and now having just seen Furiosa, I can feel it calling me back again.

There's a ton to love there, but I think you'll pickup on the areas where the devs struggled likely due to reigning in the scope, budget and time constraints, leading to an incredibly fun, albeit uneven experience. Though, as mentioned, it's absolutely a game worth experiencing once, and I truly hope you enjoy it. The game really does deserve a sequel.

victorMaje1d 4h ago

Word for word. Exactly this. A lot of fun to be had in there. A true Mad Max game. Sequel can’t come soon enough.

gigoran819h ago

and the fact that they originally had an American voice actor until everyone kicked up a big stink about it?

maelstromb1d 5h ago

Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.

jznrpg14h ago

Bend does makes sense. But I’d rather they made Days Gone 2 (no multiplayer of course) as I really like the motorcycle and the hordes of zombies was a lot of fun.

VersusDMC1d 5h ago

While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.

-Foxtrot1d ago

I think the issue is the studio was told by higher ups and most likely himself to make something linear yet when they got a first look at it they didn’t like it and wanted something open world

The head guy was basically like “you’ve just hired an open world dev and forced them to do a linear game yet now you want open world which has just wasted a year of development which we could have done from the start”

I think that’s why people are p****** because of the context the lead dev at Avalanche has given us.
