Bloober Teases Work On New Konami Projects After Silent Hill 2

Bloober and Konami will continue collaborating.

screenrant.com

Silent Hill 2 remake developer Bloober plans to continue collaborating with Konami on future projects after the game releases this month. Bloober is the Polish video game development studio in charge of bringing the 2001 classic to modern audiences. The company specializes in psychological horror and has previously developed games like Blair Witch and Layers of Fear.

As work on Silent Hill 2 draws to a close, Bloober and Konami appear to have plans to continue working together. In an interview with Polish website Bankier.pl (as reported by ComicBook), the Bloober Team president and CFO Karolina Nowak stated that Konami is happy with the work the team has done with their franchise darling. "We can expect that this is not the end of the adventure with Konami," she said (translated from Polish).

Hopefully Silent Hill remake to then lead into Silent Hill 3.

Bloober can be the remake team for Konami.

Hopefully Silent Hill remake to then lead into Silent Hill 3.

TBH, I'd prefer Konami checking the player feedback after Silent Hill 2 to see if Bloober is worth collaborating with again. Not to mention that we're flooded with remakes already, with little to no brand new titles.

The only reason Konami hried them is because they work on tiny budgets

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Original stories are their weakest point.

Silent Hill 1 and 3 remakes next please.

 

[DavidGzz]

I didn't even know they made Blair Witch. That was pretty good imo. Let's see these reviews for SH2 before getting too excited about more.

 

[SkyHighTrees]

hold up. first release the game (which is really looking good) - then try to get the other projects

silent hill 2 remake has everything to be a great game, but these fellas is already tryna get the whole cake ya feel me

im talking cakez

 

[swaffles23]

Konami can't make a good original Silent Hill game so might as well just keep remaking the original Team Silent games

 

[Punished Miku]

No need to limit them to remakes. The Medium was good.

 

[SyberWolf]

i would like a silent hill 4 remake.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They're the new Silent Hill team.

Lets make sure they've done a decent job with 2 first.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

A Contra game in the spirit of Vanquish or a reboot called Hills of the Silent Farts

 

[//DEVIL//]

Metal gear solid 1 remake

 

[Badlucktroll]

Just as i suspected, silent hill will now become bloober hill

At least f is in motion apparently.

I guess the remake exhaustion thing, but if they do well I wouldn't mind seeing a 1 and 3 remake. Bloober doing some original stuff seems odd, but if Konami forces their hand like they did with SH2, depending on the outcome, maybe it does really well for them.

 

[Mister Wolf]

We need a competent team to take the reins for Castlevania now.

 

[SHA]

The first in the series cause it matters.

 

[Arsic]

I’m assuming the initial feedback they got from press previews /reviews are glowing so they’re convinced to double down.

Thing is it can review well and still sell like total shit.

 

[Badlucktroll]

They should hire the team that did lies of p

I think they have shown now that they understand Silent Hill, so I could imagine letting them work on a new game in the series. However I would still prefer if they get story input from either Konami directly or some Japanese author, because there is a big difference between western and Japanese horror.

Isn’t this the case with SH2 remake?

Wouldn’t be surprised if Bloober laid off their author(s) after The Medium released.

My stance exactly. They've shown they can make a good SH game with the support of the OGs (Yamaoka and Ito), using their work as reference. I'm still not on board with 100% Bloober written and directed title.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Isn’t this the case with SH2 remake?

Yes, but there was really not much to write, since most of the story and dialogue was just taken from the original. A new game would need a lot more cooperation.

 

[Kasane89]

Thats really unfortunate

 

[Fret Runner]

The one Silent Hill that I feel would benefit from a Remake is 4. There is a lot they could fix and address with it, like mainly making the 2nd half of the game less tedious.
while 4 is joint my joint fave with 2 I really wouldn't mind 4 getting a second chance to shine. I feel there is potential there if they can pull it off.

 

[FewRope]

Silent Hill 1 remake finally?

 

[Madflavor]

Certainly looks like they earned it.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Give me the OG next, what's old is new again, I've been loving all these remakes, trip down memory lane
