Bloober Team and Konami's remake continues to raise red (or at least somewhat red) flags.
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
A new Steam update for the Silent Hill 2 remake has added a new screenshot for James, showing an improvement to his character model.
ESRB has rated Silent Hill 2 Remake as Mature due to its explicit content, including blood and gore, strong language, and sexual themes.
I mean the animations, impact of gunplay and melee attacks, and the sound effects sounding like spitting watermelon seeds when shooting is what ruined it for me. I think they nailed the environment and atmosphere, but I have no idea how they looked at the gameplay and thought it was show-worthy. I’d have immediately hit the abort button after seeing that.
bloober team games are hit and miss, their games is 8 at best. Self proclaimed master of horror. I dont have high hopes for this remake and im happy if they proved me wrong. Everyone likes good game and if this one is great im a happy camper.
I wasn't either. Hopefully the finished product is more polished, graphics and mechanics wise.
I agree, something about the trailer for this game looks kinda, meh….More and more games that are remasters are using the word “remake!” Now. Final fantasy 7, despite how people received it, is a remake! TLOU, RE4, amongst some other titles, are borderline remasters. Resident evil 2, on the other hand, felt more like a genuine remake to me then re4, despite the core of the games being the same. I know people will disagree with me, and what actually constitutes a remake or a remaster.
Cheap effects and animations, good graphics, cheap everything else.
