Yea, we’ll see. So far, not a single western developer could capture what made Silent Hill, well, Silent Hill.

I think it might be a cultural thing, but I’d feel a lot better if a Japanese developer were handling these. I do think Bloober Team has shown the most promise with their trailer.

While im not the most excited by the announcement that blooper team is heading the remake up, I am expecting konami to keep a close eye over it, fingers crossed eh? Lol

Weird they chose a name that sounds a lot like Downpour

Lightning Mr Bubbles930d ago

Cause it's probably the same quality as Downpour. Which is crap... That's what the Silent Hill 2 Remake looked like also. Like the developers of Silent Hill Homecoming and Silent Hill Downpour tried to make a Silent Hill 2 Remake.

The show was definitely underwhelming

Eonjay929d ago

Don't know about the name but I found this project very interesting. The trailer was really well done and I can't wait for people to pick it apart for clues. I got real PT vibes from it. The desk with the portable tv was the same as the one the developer was designing and the TV that played the interview with the devs was the same tv the devs were playing PSOne on. And I was getting PT vibes.

Lightning Mr Bubbles930d ago (Edited 930d ago )

I have no idea about this one, it didn't show anything. But still... this was a horrible show of them trying to churn out as many convoluted piles of junk as they could and call them Silent Hill. Trust me, none of this stuff has anything to do, or feels anything like the original Silent Hill trilogy.

For the Silent Hill 2 remake, they completely botched the James Sunderland model, there is no way anyone who loved the original Silent Hill 2 could tell me they see James Sunderland in that "old fart". And if you can't even get James Sunderland right, then what chance do you have?

But the question is why? Why even try it with this version of Konami who hasn't made a good game in ages and has nothing... They have absolutely no talented developers, there is no way they can possible do a masterpiece like Silent Hill 2 justice. It's insulting to be quite honest.

The only thing that looked even remotely interesting was Silent Hill f, it was pretty grotesque, just the idea of the spores and growing the fungus or plants on you like that. Just the idea made me a bit itchy. I don't think it's got the potential to be one of my all time favs like Silent Hill 2 but it's a game that's on my radar at least. Even if it wasn't called Silent Hill, if it was called something totally different. It would of still got my attention.

CrimsonWing69929d ago

I mean, why don’t we wait to see the games before we fly off the handle and call it all junk?

After10Ben929d ago

You're one of the only rational voices in this discussion today. I think it's premature to write of any of these games off until we know more. I'm intrigued to be honest. And I also prefer to keep a positive mindset even when I get disappointed. I tip my hat to you.

jznrpg929d ago

Yeah what I saw looked good , we didn’t see enough to make a full judgement or anything but I’m happy with what was shown and they all have potential to be good . We haven’t had Silent Hill in forever so they are trying at minimum and all have potential .

shinoff2183929d ago

I though it looked pretty good. I bet they stay more true in this remake then square did for ff7 and ill appreciate that because thats what I wanted a true remake.

HeliosHex929d ago

Wow three silent hills in development? Kind of strange.

monkey602929d ago

Supposedly a 4th out there too

monkey602929d ago

Stories Untold was excellent. I played very little of Observation so I cant speak about that but I'm optimistic about this team taking on a SH related side project
