Please no. It would be awesome just to know Silent Hill is in production, but we need the series moved forward while retaining it's charm. Bloober have a long way to go to prove themselves worthy of a proper franchise. In fairness there were some moments in Observer, but The Medium felt like a set-back in their progression as a developer in many ways.
I'd much rather this went to a proven developer that was on the up or at the top of their game, unless Bloober have their hands held tightly thoughout.
I get your apprehension but Bloober has done pretty good so far and can only get better. A game like this can prove themselves as they know how to create a great atmosphere. Have some optimism if this is true.
"I get your apprehension but Bloober has done pretty good so far and can only get better."
Saying they can only do better is an assumption, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Look at CD Projekt Red for example. They were hailed as some of the best developers after The Witcher 3. Everyone assumed Cyberpunk was going to be just as good, if not better. Not saying anything against Bloober personally here though. I could see them being given a shot at Silent Hill. That could be the home run they're looking to hit, if done well. It's just a matter of whether they'd be able to handle it or not.
The Medium was a great game for Bloober to show that they can handle Silent Hill. -The Handling of mature and dark themes -Unsettling atmosphere -Amazing Soundtrack to match the atmosphere(Arkadiusz Reikowski alone did an amazing job with the real world soundtrack)
The only detriment here for Bloober is combat. But Silent hill was built on sloppy combat deliberately so going above that isn't too much of a struggle.
What sound track? First time you hear music is 5 min before finishing game and when credits roll, all game was without music... and game was quite boring walking simulation, story not even interesting also
I havent played Observer and I do really want to but if Silent Hill after all these years was to finally surface and Bloober were at the helm I'd be very disappointed
Anyone that thinks Bloober would be a good choice either have never actually sat and played a silent hill game or really don't understand what Team silent's series is all about to begin with. I'm fully bracing myself for the worst since Konami has fucked silent hill fans for nearly 20 years now.... why would anything change at this point? the series needs to be left alone and rest in piece.
Except they're part of the Embracer group of developers. There's an article about how Little Nightmares II is their last Little Nightmares game. They're planning to work on new IPs going forward
What’s clear is the Medium is mediocre at best, now you can keep scrolling through peoples comment history and telling them they haven’t played the game if it makes you feel better about your life.
The latest video on YouTube by MBG claims a credible source says that Konami has a "prominent" Japanese development team working on the game . I dont know if Blooper is Japanesr, but I doubt it.
Lol, the hate for Bloober just because the made a likely time exclusive for M$ on this site is hilarious. The Medium was a great game with some interesting ideas and some annoying flaws .
Heck no! The last thing Silent Hill needs is being turned into generic running simulator from an extremely overhyped studio. Keep "Blooper" far away from SH.
James Sunderland and Heather Mason aren't track runners.
If they developing Silent hill then what was the point of The Medium? I guess Bloober would do better than a Homecoming or DownPour, but this really doesn't inspire confidence if its true.
I'm one of the people that enjoyed the medium for what it is..
A walking sim that gave you decent story, good atmosphere, and a bit of a gimmicky split world with boring puzzles. Solid 6/7 in my opinion.
But even the people who enjoyed The Medium can't honestly think bloober should be given the reins to this.
This is Silent Hill guys, should be treated with the respect it deserves. Give it to a AAA developer who we trust. My shouts would be Kojima (obviously won't happen because of Konami but one can dream).
I'd like to see what Tango Gameworks could do with Silent Hill as an alternative :)
This would be awesome if true. But huge grain of salt since Konami are basically useless nowadays.

I would like to see what the Little Nightmares dev would do with it. 2 has some really creepy things going on.
