No... What are you doing Jimbo?

 

[Mr Moose]

Ew, that Silent Hill is real.

 

[bender]

 

[ManaByte]

No... What are you doing Jimbo?

Respecting Bloober's opinions.

 

[LordCBH]

Fucking who?

 

[rofif]

boomer team

 

[kyliethicc]

Wonder if this is just for putting Bloober games on PS Plus Extra?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Fucking hasan was a bloober all a long

 

[reksveks]

The real question is whether if this is new or old games, and all games and what the licenses deems.

I would find a Bloober SH funny cause it would annoy a fuck load of people.

 

[bender]

Fucking who?

A development team that took inspiration from Dear Esther, but instead of playing a game with a main character suffering from kidney stones, playing their games gives you kidney stones.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Bloober isn't the best choice tbh.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Imagine, being strung along for SO long, then it finally happens. But what we get is absolute and horrible ass. LOL.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Medium got so hyped by green rats for years. Jimbo saw them twitter mentions and dipped in.

 

[bitbydeath]

Maybe cause Sony bought the Silent Hill IP

 

[DeepEnigma]

Distribution... is that just a translation error for "development?"

Because those are two totally different things in the consumer world. Seems they will be distributing licensed games to that region.

 

[nominedomine]

Respecting Bloober's opinions.

Konami + Jimbo + Bloober

This is going to be a complete disaster.

 

[reksveks]

Distribution... is that just a translation error for "development?"

Because those are two totally different things in the consumer world. Seems they will be distributing licensed games to that region.

They are talking PS Premium in my opinion aka distribution.

 

[JaksGhost]

So their old titles are going to the new PS+ is all I'm getting out of that statement. It could also include new games but old ones for sure since it's going to impact their 2022 financial reports. For reference this is their statement when they made a similar agreement with Microsoft:

Management Board of Bloober Team S.A. (hereinafter referred to as the "Issuer") announces that on 06.06.2019 it received information from its subsidiary Bloober Team NA (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") about the conclusion of a significant agreement between Company and Microsoft Corporation with its registered office in Washington, USA, concerning the independent release of a new game produced by the Company on Microsoft platforms under special program. The copyrights to the game in question will remain with the existing owners and will not be transferred to Microsoft Corporation. The Issuer will inform about the detailed release date in a separate current report.

In the Issuer's opinion, the sale of the game in the programme will affect the financial results of the Issuer's Capital Group for 2019 and subsequent periods.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Team real right now...

Bloober>kojima

 

[ManaByte]

People were so convinced a hoaxer were making Silent Hill they were blind to the truth.

 

[.Pennywise]

Good for them. Now their games will suddently become top notch because the Sony exclusive tag. There isn't a faster way of going from shit to diamond.

 

[DeepEnigma]

They are talking PS Premium in my opinion aka distribution.

Ah yes, that makes sense.

Bloober>kojima

 

[Heisenberg007]

Eww, Bloober just makes awful games. Hope Sony can help prop up the quality level of their games (somehow).

 

[Bartski]

I played Blair Witch a while ago and it was surprisingly ok and actually quite scary as opposed to the MIDium. Episodic shortform fpp SH spinoff could work.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Scarcity of talent is a real thing in this industry.

 

[Adam_802]

hahahaha

 

[SLB1904]

Whoever thought about this joke is genius

 

[SLB1904]

Good for them. Now their games will suddently become top notch because the Sony exclusive tag. There isn't a faster way of going from shit to diamond.

Oh boy your salt is palpable.
But hey he's not a fanboy

 

[BennyBlanco]

These guys stink. Supermassive would've been way better choice and can't imagine they would cost much more.

 

[SLB1904]

These guys stink. Supermassive would've been way better choice and can't imagine they would cost much more.

And what makes you think they aren't working with supermassive as well

 

[Craig of War]

No... What are you doing Jimbo?

Jimbo doing what best for business

 

[BennyBlanco]

And what makes you think they aren't working with supermassive as well

Because I have no reason to think that whereas bloober had been rumored to be making a silent hill game

 

[Kacho]

I have no idea how anyone values that studio or their games.

 

[nominedomine]

Jimbo doing what best for business

A Silent Hill by Bloober will flop harder than if it was made by Hasan.

 

[Vognerful]

Lols is was coming long time ago but you guys didn't want to believe it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Because I have no reason to think that whereas bloober had been rumored to be making a silent hill game

So wasn't Supermassive at one time as well.

 

[bitbydeath]

They are talking PS Premium in my opinion aka distribution.

Yeah, you're right.

Selected titles for new distribution system

Is clearly old games for PS+

 

[SLB1904]

Because I have no reason to think that whereas bloober had been rumored to be making a silent hill game

I mean supermassive have made some ps exclusives. Also the developers isn't at fault how the game turns out. The directors and management are.
You should ask yourself who is directing the game? Not dismissing a bunch of people just put things together. Also suppermassive released a few turds after until dawn

 

[3liteDragon]

If this means what I think it means…

 

[Belthazar]

This probably just means Bloober games on PS+...












Please, let the Silent Hill rumor be fake, Bloober take on it will be awful

 

[Craig of War]

A Silent Hill by Bloober will flop harder than if it was made by Hasan.

Your always doom and gloom with this man
There are atleast 2 Silent Hill Game this is just 1 of them relax

 

[Javthusiast]

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yeah, you're right.

Is clearly old games for PS+

That's what I was thinking as well.

It also says,

for the distribution of selected Issuer's titles in the new distribution system

Bloober is the issuer. This is select Bloober titles on PS+, just like they were on Game Pass. We are going to be seeing a lot of these agreements in regions that are more open on announcements like this.

If they were Sony or Konami IPs, it would not be the "selected issuer's titles."

 

[TGO]

Interesting....we already know Bloober was making a Silent Hill and we know another Japanese team is making the other based on rumours, it might be Kojima Pro?
But them signing a deal with Sony does seem to suggest either this is for something different or Sony really does has the Silent Hill IP now....
Probably why that leak got took out like it was Sony's Ninjas.

Edit, nah it's for PS+

 

[Beechos]

Uhh man after playing the medium no high hopes. If anything they seem to be able to get that silent hill esque art style in the medium but everything else was just so bad.

 

[Bartski]

lol ok there is nothing about this announcement to suggest they could be making a game based on a Sony license.
It's about putting old and upcoming Blooper games on the new subscription service.

Nothing to see here.
