We're about to reach the end of that exclusivity period.

Nice. We might actually get that long-rumored Born From a Wish DLC as well. If not now, probably never.

P.S. Silent Hill f sucks dick lmao.

 

[Killer8]

Multiplat release + Pro patch + Born from a Wish as DLC let's gooooo.

I wish... I want to replay it but i dont want to double dip on pc so a proper pro patch would be cool. Dont see it happening tho.

 

[March Climber]

I hope they call the ported version Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams.

 

[Bridges]

I'll definitely pick it up on Xbox if this is true

 

[Sintoid]

I'd like to see what they could pull off on Switch 2. Cronos fared pretty well

Cronos fared well cause the game is 90% dark as shit.

Granted SH2 is also obscured by fog 90% of the time but I gotta imagine it's gonna be a bit more taxing.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Everyones begging to get on Xbox

 

[Liopleurodon]

Send Silent Hill everywhere.

 

[RoboFu]

Meh looks dumb .. not silent hill at all.

 

[Darsxx82]

Good if

 

[Mr Hyde]

Port it to PS2 for that classic retro feel.

lol, not sure that's how it works but it'll be interesting to see the results, regardless.

 

[NeverYouMind]

From a technical standpoint I would love to see Switch 2 handling an Unreal Engine 5 game like Silent Hill 2 Remake.

 

[adamsapple]

lol, not sure that's how it works but it'll be interesting to see the results, regardless.

I guess it's my roundabout way of saying that SH2 feels like a more technically ambitious game than Cronos does.

It looks like they are using it to centre the Steam/PS images.

I don't believe so in this case, though it wouldn't surprise me if they are coming out soon-ish on other platforms.
I'll have a quick snoop at the source.

Bloober, STFU and fix the PS5 Pro version first.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I still need to start it on the PS5.

 

[Punished Miku]

Make it Play Anywhere and I'm in. Not usually into remakes but SH f was great so I'd like to keep supporting Konami on these.

While the coding is a bit different (it had extra class today "website-component-block" which is used in a few other elements), it's doing the exact same thing (positioning for the Steam/PS images).

That's the new SH f. This (SH2 Remake) has been PS5 console exclusive so far.

 

[Gitaroo]

Dream they would port it to a newer version of UE5 but doubtful since they still use 5.3 for Cronos

 

[Nocty]

Good. Plat exclusives in 2025 is crazy work.

 

[Kacho]

Dying to see how well it runs on both platforms. Will likely double dip on the Switch version for the novelty.

 

[ZehDon]

Keen to play through this on my Xbox!

 

[Deerock71]

All over a Switch 2 port. On Steam Deck it sucked ass, but I got through a good chunk of it on there.

 

[kevboard]

if it comes to switch 2, that would imply they added baked GI, since Lumen currently isn't really feasible on the system.

which then begs the question... Will they add a Lumen-off setting to PC? that could make the game finally look good and run well.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I have psychic powers, I had posted that it would be great to bring Silent Hill 2 to Switch 2....

Only the bad thing will be those Keycards that will be put in.

Or UE5 can get an updated to support the RT cores of the Switch 2.

Judging by PC performance, SH 2 is WAY more taxing than Cronos

PC Cronos can be emulated on cellphones at playable speeds. SH 2 craws.

hardware lumen runs even worse tho. there's a reason the vast majority of UE5 games use software lumen on console... even on PS5 Pro.

Nvidia vs AMD RT cores. Also i think the game is designed around RT, a baked solution could make the file size massive and a lot of work for just one platform, but whatever solution they take going to be interesting thats for sure.

they did make a baked GI fallback for their new game tho, possibly for the exact reason that they were making a Switch 2 version.

 

[Arsic]

This is a good thing because if that happens it means Bloober gets additional development funds to hopefully add the long needed ps5 pro patch.

The game already did and still does support PS5 Pro enhancements. Not sure why folks keep asking for the patch.

It launched with PSSR support, they've only taken it out of the Performance mode. Quality mode still has PSSR on it.

 

[ILHASS]

PC Cronos can be emulated on cellphones at playable speeds. SH 2 craws.

It's different experience for me. SH2 Remake is very playable at maximum settings in 4K DLSS Q (only shadows on medium) with almost always constant 60fps.
But if you set anything higher than 1440p in Cronos (max settings), the maximum you will get is around 40-50fps. RTX 5070ti.

The Series X patched before the Pro

 

[SkylineRKR]

Great game with some changes I could do without (this version has a LOT of enemies).

But I can't imagine F is better than this, from what I've seen.

 

[Alan Wake]

A great remake. Top quality. A bit too long, but overall I had a really good experience with it. Won't quite be the same without a microphone on the controller, though.

 

[FUBARx89]

I don't read moon man mother fucker.

Just turn on auto translate. Eitherway, no mention of them working on it. Just that it's Konamis problem.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

"Based on results and feedback so far, do you believe that Cronos well established itself as a new IP that the company can and will exploited into the future? If so, can you discuss some of the possible ways of doing so and the possible timings?
Zarząd Bloober Team: Cronos is our first major IP. The team responsible for it has now started working on another project, but we definitely intend to further expand the IP in the future — across many areas of exploitation. We have high hopes for it."

Good news for Cronos, the potential is definitely there for sequels

Also :
- 7 million$ budget for the marketing of Cronos (?)

- They have acquisition offers from many, they'll remain independent for the time being (they're not ruling anything out).
