Bloober Team and "prestigious Japanese studio" working on new Silent Hill

I have negative interest in a Metal Gear made by anybody not Genius Kojumbo or a follow up to Rising. And even then Metal Gear was done to death and they kept going back in for more than was needed. I honestly think we learned too much about Big Boss after Snake Eater.

Del Toro (after being introduced by Kojima) mentioned Silent Hill at The Game Awards too

Interesting development in this, this tweet appeared on Twitter overnight

They have now been removed but the screenshots were supposedly of one of the new Silent Hill games in development. As you can see they have been taken down now due to a copyright claim, who made the claim you may ask…. Konami

There's screenshots of the screenshots in the comments. Looks Silent Hill-y, but there's barely anything else to go on :slol:

Minger? That's some late 90's abuse. I'm intrigued now.

New rumours today suggest the Bloober Team game is a remake of Silent Hill 2, also there are at least 3 SH projects in dev right now.

Making up for lost time. Don't complain, they've finally remembered it exists.

One is probably a remake too.

EDIT: I just realised I responded to a super old post, I thought this thread was new. :lol:

Yeah, I've been shitposting about this in a few chats.

Can't WAIT to see how Angela gets treated.

Just seen this and my immediate thought too :lol:

I never realised how oddly specific to a time that insult is

Oh boy, that gives them so many opportunities to cram in Pyramid Head regardless of fit

Why would you remake SH2, an arguably perfect game that still looks amazing?

And Bloober Team no less, I feel physical repulsion at the thought.

They'll have a huge budget and supervision from *spit* Konami, so chances are it'll be their best game to date.

I don't play many horror games so I don't really know anything about all this, but this tweet is a very funny burn on Bloober.

Since this came back up last week I've been watching my way through full playthroughs of Homecoming and Downpour to see if they're as bad as I remember.

It's impressive they're somehow worse in many places.

I've been on a rant about them for a while in other chats as I was going through it, but the main issue is that the teams trying to make those Silent Hills didn't really get how Silent Hill worked.

In the case of Downpour it had some cool sequences, but almost nothing to do with Murphy. It was more akin to SH1 or 4 where the player character is mostly experiencing somebody else's SH, but the problem is that Murphy's stuff is WAY more interesting. Spoilers for a trash SH game I guess:

There's SO MUCH there to make a great Silent Hill. But instead they spend a sequence dealing with a guy who got drunk and detailed a train, so you get a haunted house ride. The general enemies related to Murphy are just various types of "regular person". There's a doll enemy that's basically a blow up doll that summons shadows of itself to attack that has NOTHING to do with Murphy. It's a creation of someone else who slept with someone to get something she wanted and feels guilty because it ruined her marriage. And it's a good enemy design. But so out of place. Even the penultimate and final bosses aren't anything to do with Murphy.

Homecoming has the opposite problem. The designs are pretty cool (mainly because they're just ripped from the movie), but it fails as a survival horror game. It has absolutely no subtlety in building tension. The main character is too competent so you can just easily fight enemies without spending resources, rendering them nonthreatening.

Also there's the fact that Masahiro Ito himself hates that Pyramid Head is in the game since that's a specific manifestation of James' guilt and desire for punishment brought about by his memories of Silent Hill and seeing the painting of the old executioner, etc. But at this point PH is just a cool, recognisable design to slap in wherever.

After these I have even less excitement for a new Silent Hill game, and I was already running at basically no hype.
