Bloober Team has two unannounced projects in the works: "Project C", a brand-new IP being developed in partnership with Take-Two Interactive, and "Project R", a 2025 release based on a Skybound Entertainment IP, the entertainment company owned by The Walking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman.

Right now, Bloober is keeping the details close to its chest, but its recent annual report – as translated by @pl_evil – reveals just a little of the studio's plans as it wraps up the development of Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Is that a hard R or...

Don't give Konami ideas ..

Don't give Konami ideas ..

We have no idea on the quality of the finished product yet. Could be that it is a great game. I feel a lot of folks have rose colored glasses and only remember the best parts of SH2 and not the hordes of monsters you had to fight with its purposefully awful combat system.

Plus Blooper makes decent horror games. Certainly they can't do worse than Double Helix's Homecoming.

Does exploration and atmosphere matter to you? Because the real SH2 has that in droves. Their sad attempt at a remake will not. Combat be damned, nothing can replace SH2.

Trailers showed plenty of atmosphere and they have stated the exploration is still there. Until we have the game in our hands it is premature to make claims that it won’t have either.

The latest trailer made it look like something of a soul-less RE2 remake wannabe, but I guess because it was supposed to be a 'combat' trailer, the original announcement trailer was much better, hyper exaggerated facial expressions and all.

 

[Draugoth]

I have no faith in Bloober

Yep, not really feeling the latest trailer. However, it is always best to wait to see a finished product before making large claims such as the ones in this thread. If it is shit, we will know in a few months.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Their ability to do such average work and still collaborate with such large companies is quite interesting.

 

[LordCBH]

Bloober is the definition of failing up

 

[SJRB]

Get as many contracts signed as possible before Silent Hill 2 remake comes out.

 

[Kurotri]

How is Bloober even alive

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

But why? Have they ever produced anything worthwhile?

Though I feel like companies treat Blobber the same way as CDPR and Techland - they expect Blobber to reach the same success. And Blobber is wiling to take those jobs.

You are not suppose to fight every enemy in the game. The idea is to run and fight if you have too. If there are “hordes” as you say, then you RUN away. You made the game bad for yourself by constantly engaging in combat. Bloober has no substance to their games. What you call descent is mediocre content from them.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I have enjoyed most of Bloobers games. I have faith in SH2. It won't be a flawless masterpiece but it won't suck ass either.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

it sounds SH2 is going to be massive success... or faliure, depending on how you see it

Bro Bloober is going through a renaissance. They're signing deals like they're pop stars.

I am well aware how to play SH2. The point being that combat was always a major part of the game.

Blooper...
The definition of failing upwards

 

[Robb]

Can’t say I understand why based on their past work, but good for Bloober. Someone over there is obviously very good at negotiating.

 

[FunkMiller]

Good to see they are concentrating fully on a really decent remake of Silent Hill 2… and not looking at the next deal they can sign, knowing that game is a piece of shit.


…oh no, wait…

That's not the issue with Bloober though, it's the fact that they're technically incompetent.

 

[dotnotbot]

Another Mediocrum incoming

How so? Medium was perfectly fine technically speaking. At least I don't remember any major bugs/glitches that prevented my enjoyment of the game.

 

[Facism]

Just need Project A and Project P to fit in with their output.

 

[Badlucktroll]

My guess is SH2 remake will pass, but barely

 

[DannyDanger]

Don't ppl hate Bloober Team? Why do they get so much gigs?

They sell well and they have enough of a fanbase and do, generally, good work (at least from the games that I have played)

The vocal minority that despises Bloober team is just that, a vocal minority. No different than the loud vocal minority that cries about Final Fantasy every chance they get here on the forums, yet they still sell in the millions.

That makes sense. Thx
