Bloober Team Says Silent Hill 2 Remake Its 'Most Important Test' | Push Square
29.04.2024 - 04:59 / pushsquare.com
All eyes are on Bloober Team as we inch closer to the developer's PS5 remake of Silent Hill 2, a pressure the studio is well aware of. Expected sometime in 2024, and despite a public spat with publisher Konami in February, Bloober Team remains «very confident about the final result.»
The studio recently released its annual report to shareholders (thanks, Eurogamer), where the team expressed optimism about the project, acknowledging that remaking a game as iconic as Silent Hill 2 will be «the most important test» the studio has ever faced.
Bloober states: «In 2023, almost half of our production forces were focused on the currently loudest project in the industry—Silent Hill 2, which we are creating together with our partner, Konami. It is one of the most recognisable brands in the gaming world and definitely a key one when it comes to the horror genre. We make every effort to provide the best possible emotions — both to those who played the original over 20 years ago and to those for whom this will be their first approach to the famous series.»
Not that we're complaining
We appreciate the confidence, but «loudest» might be a bit of a stretch. What do you think of Bloober Team's optimism? Brace for impact in the comments section below.
Khayl Adam is Push Square's roving Australian correspondent, a reporter tasked with scouring the internet for the most succulent PlayStation stories. With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.
My biggest problem with Bloober team is that they have the characters explain the story to the player instead of just letting you experience it. This is the opposite of how Silent Hill 2 tells its story and a huge part of the original experience is learning who James is through the environment and subtle clues. Given Bloober’s track record, I’m bracing myself for James and Maria to do everything short of a direct fourth wall break to explain the whole game to the player.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Protagonist James Seemingly Got a Quiet Makeover | Push Square
It seems the protagonist of Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake, currently in development at Bloober Team, has received a quiet redesign or perhaps had a face-lift. It's unclear whether this change comes in response to fan feedback from the trailer shown during the State of Play showcase held earlier this year, the negative response to which Bloober subsequently blamed on Konami.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Rage-Inducing Retry Wording Has Been Quietly Re-Worked | Push Square
For all the positive things players have to say about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, one aspect of the game which we've seen nothing but ire directed towards is its confusingly worded retry screen, which players will be hit with in the event of a Game Over. Thankfully, this issue has been quietly addressed in the game's most recent patch, which fixed Platinum Trophy progression, making it at least slightly less confusing now.
