The remake of Silent Hill 2 is a project highly anticipated by many fans of survival horror. Unveiled in 2022, the title is developed by Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, Blair Witch, The Medium) and only made headlines again at the very end of last month with a new trailer… focused on the action phases.
A heresy for early players Silent Hill 2 is not an action game, but a disturbing psychological horror game. Konami undoubtedly wants to ride on the success of remakes of resident Evil of Capcom to promote his title, but it doesn’t go over well with the fans… nor with Bloober Team.
Even if the Polish developer has avoided speaking out in recent months, leaving it up to the publisher to ensure the promotion of Silent Hill 2 RemakeTHE CEO Piotr Babieno spoke with investor.tv (the video is set to private) and he bluntly criticized the trailer made by Konami :
I’m pretty serious that we are not responsible for the marketing page. This is the responsibility of our partner (Konami). This trailer certainly does not reflect the spirit of the game.
It is neither the spirit of what it once was, nor the spirit of what we are creating now. We try to fully reflect this romantic vision of the game that debuted 22 years ago. We believe that when players see real gameplay, a real game, they will evaluate it in a completely different way.
He adds that the studio is taking advantage of “all the possibilities of Unreal Engine 5”, but it is not the graphics that have been criticized by players in recent days. Bloober Team took it for granted after this trailerthere were many criticisms against him, but it’s good Konami who made this video, far from the spirit of the game and the remake according to the developers.
As a reminder, the publisher had recently stated that development was progressing very well and was in its final stages. Silent Hill 2 Remake is expected sometime in 2024 on PlayStation 5 and PCyou can pre-order it for €69.99 on Amazon, Cdiscount And there Fnac.
