Bloober Team has announced Cronos: The New Dawn, coming 2025 (Steam, PS5, Xbox)

I'm not sure if it is wise to get hyped about Bloober but after SH2 it's inevitable.

Best guys in the horror business. Took the indie scene by storm with Layers and been smoking it ever since. Top tier gangsters are Bloober.

Alright y'all .. relax lol.

They've made one very good game, and that was interpreted work with a different team handling the story and writing.
 
After finally seeing snippets of the gameplay, I'm definitely more interested. I'd love for SH2R to be their turn around, and everything they do from here on out is good or great.
 
Cautiously optimistic. I won't pretend that Bloober is a top tier developer, but they've also risen far above the level of z-list trash. There was already potential in games like The Medium and they finally lived up to that potential with Silent Hill 2. Now they just need to keep the momentum going. They have been very transparent for a while that they welcome feedback because they want to improve.

Every AAA developer started out as an AA developer. Remember that.
 
For those who are new to Blooper train and haven't played Observer, now is the time, it was fucking great
 
Looks like it could be interesting, but honestly the enemies looked pretty derivative at this point. Still, worth watching to see how this one develops.

Have any additional gameplay snippets been posted besides the walking bit at the end of the cinematic trailer?
 
Looks interesting, seems they have learnt from Silent Hill 2 development.
Looks more interesting than remaking games that are still good from 20 years ago.
I wouldn't go that far, plus have you played Silent Hill 2 Remake?
Although it's faithful, playing the original doesn't mean you have a clue what the experience the Remake brings.
The only thing that is certain is those games really where better back then and remaking right results in a product that stands above and rightfully so, the poorly made "new" games of today.
 
Not too sold on the setting, but I do enjoy psychological horrors and have played all of Bloober's games. So will definitely get this as well. Hopefully it has some of the learnings from Silent Hill 2 Remake.

I've played Blair witch, Observer and the Medium which were all above average but...the technical part is what brings their games down - they have some VERY competent artists so the designs and general art-direction are usually very good but good God, when it comes to the character models and general technical proficiency they're a mess, it's like, they have some senior and veteran artists that are good at their job but somehow the technical aspect of their games is handled by fucking interns ' cause their games all ran like shit on consoles, it's really, really strange...

Maybe that Konami money and experience that they gathered from making SH2 RE will be put to good use from now on or so I'd hope 😉

Can confirm their games don't feel good to play on console...they need to get their shit together
 
Yeah idk. I love sh2 remake but I will wait and see on this.

I trust them doing another SH remake though lol.
 
Since Dead Space is being shelved, yet again I'll take this. Looks pretty interesting from the trailer.

Im so bummed about that! Fucking EA ...Dead Space 2 development would've gone smoothly and DS1 Remake didn't even sell badly at over 2 million copies

I hate EA man ...still waiting on that MW3 remaster
 
Are these guys about to become rockstars of the horror genre… Looked good but it is just a teaser. It is good that they are going to do something else.
 
I guess we'll see if Bloober have made a genuine step up in terms of development talent, or if Silent Hill2 remake was a one off, thanks to them having such a strong framework and foundation to build from.

Could go either way.
 
After Silent Hill 2, Day 1.

Amazing how they went from one of my most hated developers to legit trust. The care and love they put into every aspect of SH2 blew me away. Also, now that Dead Space is dead again, we need a successor. These guys are doing their best to put themselves on the map. I hope they're held in as high horror esteem as Capcom and Frictional some day.

Yeah it sucks. DS1 Remake was so good and sales for that wasn't terrible. They could've reused a lot of assets as well. But EA is going to be EA.

I mean there's definately a market for them. People were hyped on Calisto Protocal before its release.. and it turned out to be an okay game, if uninspired. And Bloobers take on SH 2 (that uses a lot of the same game mechanics) from its mixed melee to shooting; and current sales for that shows it too. Will be keeping an eye on this either way.
