Effectively properly properly, Silent Hill 2 remake builders Bloober Group are engaged on a remake of the very first Silent Hill in collaboration with publishers Konami. Please give me just a few seconds to pat myself furiously on the again for asking Bloober in regards to the prospects of an authentic Silent Hill remake, means again in August final 12 months. Oracular perception, thy identify is Edwin. OK, that is sufficient patting, my shoulders are beginning to damage. You possibly can watch the teaser trailer now, which surfaced throughout Konami’s Press Begin showcase immediately. Beautiful to listen to that gut-twisting banjo melody once more.
There’s zip to say past what you see in that video – no Silent Hill remake launch date, no trace about how the story or fight system may change. The sport is barely confirmed as being “in growth”. We will, in fact, make deductions from Bloober’s previous efforts. In his Silent Hill 2 remake review, Brendy known as it “a good-looking horror remake that performs protected with its personal historical past”. I had just a few thinky thoughts myself in regards to the formal ironies of remaking a sport outlined by repressed trauma.
Talking of taking part in issues protected, it appears possible that Bloober weren’t being completely straight with me when I asked them why they didn’t start by remaking the first game final 12 months.
“I believe Silent Hill 2 simply matches our DNA means higher,” Bloober’s artistic director Mateusz Lenart instructed me on the time. “It is way more emotional, a way more private story than, for instance, the primary sport or the third sport. And we at Bloober had been at all times followers of telling private tales about individuals’s experiences, individuals’s emotions and the way they undergo them. Not a lot about, you already know know, occultism and issues from different worlds, proper? So I believe that was the principle motive, principally.”
Lead producer Maciej Głomb certified, nevertheless, that “it is not like we had been making this determination, proper? The franchise is linked to Konami’s plans.”
If all this strikes you as one throwback too many, you is likely to be higher served by the forthcoming Japan-set Silent Hill f, and certainly by Silent Hill: Townfall, the spin-off from Remark builders No Code, of which little has been heard for a while.
