I'm not sure why you're so pessimistic. Their development capabilities improved with each game. You may hate The Medium, but it does show what they can do given a proper budget and resources. If it does come to fruition, everyone will be pleasantly surprised.
Yeah. People around here are typically pretty harsh on Bloober, but I'm pretty sure a lot of it is because it was a timed exclusive on MS platforms. We know the ecosystem around here. It wasn't game of the year material, but it was solid experience, and the overall reviews say as much. But I think layers of fear and observer show that they can handle psychological, unnerving tone well. They've never had a breakout hit, and the reviews for their catalogue are pretty consistently "good, but not amazing"; but they're also a still a medium, at best, sized dev team that self-published and always tried punching above their weight.
With solid financial backing behind them, which I hope they're getting, this may be that breakout for them. If so, they may end up being the new team for the series. I'd rather be optimistic and see them succeed, rather than expect them to fail.
It’s because their games are average at best and a big title that many have waited a long time for goes to an at best average developer . MS or not I don’t buy their games to play them just for my collection of niche games . They mainly make below average to average horror games with no combat and that’s not what people want with Silent Hill . They have never shown they can make a great game with combat let alone a great game without combat . An average game they can make but that’s not going to make people happy , and who knows how they will do with combat .
Someone’s gotta do something. I’ve beaten both Layers + DLC, Blair Witch, will get through Medium eventually. You could pick worse devs honestly. This could be their big budget break.
Anybody can make SH concept art until Konami green lights it, announces it, and puts it on store shelves I don't believe it until I play the new SH game.
I see the name Silent Hill and Bloober together and it saddens me 😔.
Is Silent Hill really this cursed?
It was a blooper....
