Bloober Team are capable Devs regardless of what you think of their own games, they're not making an original or a sequel or even a reimagining of it like Shattered Memories was.Serious question that probably deserves it's own thread;
If SH2 is one of the best games of all time, and SH went downhill when Western devs took over, and Konami have shown themselves to be incompetent. Why are people so excited for a remake of SH2 developed by Bloober Team?
Not trying to be a hater, but it just seems so completely bonkers to me. The hype doesn't make sense. Obviously this only applies to the vocal SH purists.
Bloober have got some good stuff - Blair Witch went under the radar but was great, Observer was good but System Redux elevates it to great.Serious question that probably deserves it's own thread;

Yea I think Bloober is perfectly competent. It's been cool to watch them go from vaporware with Nibris on Wii to a capable studio that has a ton of potential.Bloober Team are capable Devs regardless of what you think of their own games, they're not making an original or a sequel or even a reimagining of it like Shattered Memories was.
It's a straight up remake, even with the inclusion of more combat, they can't really fuck it up.
When the source material is that good, it should be a easy home run.
How can you sit there and eat pizza?!?!Rated: K for Konami.
Never forget the Silent Hill HD "Remasters."
I agree. I have many issues with The Medium and I think their story person needs to reign it in but their games are totally competent.Bloober have got some good stuff - Blair Witch went under the radar but was great, Observer was good but System Redux elevates it to great.
They have a scrappy hunger to them, and this is a remake so the story is already there. They can focus on getting gameplay down.
They’re not making a new game where they could go off and do their own thing which ultimately ends up being shit, they’re just colouring between the lines on an existing one.Serious question that probably deserves it's own thread;

If this remake is successful, i bet they will make an original Silent Hill title.

I’d rather an observer 2 personally…sadly rutger hauer died recently which will be a big loss for the sequel if and when they make one.
who?Me and Badlucktroll are!
Depends on if they keep the main character the same as to if it’s a problem (for me), which also depends on if it’s already in development. I just find it super jarring when they do switcheroos, even if it’s for good reasons. If the sequel is a new character then it’s no issue, the world they built, whilst condensed, felt like a rich lore to base on and expand. I’d love to see them handle a more open or hub like environment, like a cyberpunk deus exy detective game.Listen brother, I always liked Rutger but, it's not like his performance in the game was any good (it really felt phoned in) or that it was a big contributing factor to the game being good, they could cast/create a whole new character and things would remain the same.
Anyway, regarding Bloober team, ill say it again : they have some VERY good artists there, their art-direction is always good but...they ALWAYS fuck it up on the technical side, every game of theirs have had terribad performance with the sole exception of The medium.
It's frankly a shame, their artists are on their A game which leads to terrific atmosphere in their games but the coding part of it is always super incompetent, this is why I'm expecting absolutely nothing good out of the SH2 remake.
Fookin' Hell, out of ALL the companies out there to remake one of the most beloved titles/franchises in gaming history and Konami chose Bloober, they really don't give 2 fooks about their IPs...
Idk why. Sh2 was always a game with great atmosphere, story and music.Serious question that probably deserves it's own thread;
