The moment we've all been waiting for is almost here. Bloober Team's magnum opus will be unleashed in 7 days. Is it a curse? Is it a blessing in disguise?

But GAF, I have just one question...

 

[Celcius]

Never played a silent hill game, don't care

[GrayChild]

Day 1, but also LOL Bloober Team.

Playing it mostly out of curiosity and hoping it's at least somewhat good. It'll never fully replace the original.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Know then that if Silent Hill 2 remake sells well and reviews well, Silent Hill will then probably become bloober hill

Day 1 even if I have doubts, I still want to support the revival of the IP

There's only one word to describe Bloober Team, and I'm going to spell it out for you

 

[XXL]

I want to read reviews and hear people opinions about it first.

 

[RagnarokIV]

GOTY, I'm Ultra Instinct Hyped boys.

 

[killatopak]

My body is ready.

 

[JimmyRustler]

As always today except for From Games or Resident Evil….

Wait for Reviews and impressions. Will prolly buy if Gameranks likes it in their review and there don‘t come up things like the censorship from the latest Dead Rising Remake.

 

[Punished Miku]

I think it looks pretty good honestly. Just not really hyped for full price remakes very often. Sometimes the hype will get me, like Prince of Persia or Splinter Cell.

I'll get this one on sale on Xbox.

 

[J3nga]

Where's day -2(for deluxe)?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I will get around to it but I'm waiting for the general concenus on here before rushing out to get it.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I really can't decide. After hearing the soundtrack preview, I am concerned.

 

[tommib]

Day 0. I feel this is Bloober’s moment. Their coming of age.

 

[Holdfing]

What I've seen so far was enough for day 1. New puzzles are potentially a big plus. New Angela is a big minus. Also Bloober lol!

 

[Muffdraul]

I was always going to get it on day 1, but it's definitely looking better and better with every preview. Biggest issue I ever had was that the gunshot sound fx sounded terrible. Last I checked it seemed like they'd improved.

 

[Kacho]

69.99 US dollars is crazy lmao

Def gonna try and wait for a sale... unless the hype gets me.

 

[ssringo]

I don't care about Silent Hill/I'll get around to it eventually/waiting for a sale

I enjoyed the classic Silent Hill games but I'm much more of a Resident Evil style survival horror guy. Hope it's everything fans are hoping for!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Will pick it up during a sale.

 

[Judge Magister]

I'd like to choose both "LOL Bloober Team" and "Waiting for sale" but OP doesn't let me. Voted in the first.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

Had it pre ordered since it went live on cdkeys for £44.99 deluxe edition.

I hate the practice of putting early access behind a paywall (or anywhere) and used to just get more money from the customer for a game that probably needs patches anyways, but I genuinely would've bought this edition regardless as I'm a big fan and any extras are welcome.
Think it'll be the first ever deluxe edition with an art book I'll actually look at (digitally anyway, have others like Demon's Souls etc that I physically have) and definitely the first soundtrack I'll listen to.

I think it looks and sounds fantastic, my only concern at the moment is performance (on PC for me)
Stuttery jittery laggy performance will hurt immersion and experience. Please be good.

[Mr Hyde]

Day 1. I'm a big SH fan so hyped as fuck for this! Not everyday we get a AAA Silent Hill, even if it's a remake of a beloved classic. In Bloober we trust

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[R6Rider]

Already have plenty to play in the next few months, but I am hoping it turns out well. Will buy later for sure.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Pretty hyped since I’ve never played the original or any of the Silent Hill games for that matter.

 

[adamsapple]

It's on my Gamefly queue.

I am cautious about Bloober bloobering it up.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I remember that I do that in survival horror, sometimes I manage to catch up with whoever is chasing me

 

[OverHeat]

Bought on steam

 

[mindfreak191]

Never played the original, I bought it as a gift for my friend back in 2005 for PC and I only remember parts of the beginning. I know what the big plot twist is, but it’s not that big of a deal to me. I’m waiting for general reviews and I’ll probably get it on gmg (it’s 54€ there).

 

[rkofan87]

i am still waiting for my psn refund for my ac preorder.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Physical preorder arrives on release day, hyped as fuck

 

[bundylove]

I'll get this one on sale on Xbox.

When is it coming to xbox?

 

[Kacho]

Enjoy. The jump from Silent Hill to Silent Hill 2 back in the day was insane. If you were there you know what I mean. Konami was putting out games with cutting edge graphics in those early PS2 years.

[DavidGzz]

Vacation, concerts, and D4 expansion around the same time, but still buying day 1.

 

[FunkMiller]

Konami
Bloober Team

 

[BennyBlanco]

I have played multiple Bloober games and never walked away impressed or entertained. I hope I’m wrong and they knock it out of the park because SH2 is an all time classic but I’m not confident it will be good. DB sparking zero will get my money day 1.

 

[Pelao]

I liked Silent Hill 2 a lot back in the day. Haven't played it since the PS2 days. That being said, LOL Bloober Team.

I think I was like 20 when the first game came out. Not sure why I never gave it a chance since I loved the RE games. I know SH isn’t as action oriented so maybe the game just freaked me out at the time.

Better than actually playing the remake.

 

[McGILLAZ]

I'm very interested in playing this remake in a week. I'm still bothered by the fact that the game looks incredible sometimes, then there's the video of James smashing the glass in the bar (which looks awful) and then the horrendous muzzle flash on the pistol while he's shooting at the creatures in the pool - I'm really torn on how the game looks. Also, Bloober/Konami dropped a comparison video of the Flesh Lip boss between the Ps2 and the Ps5...it's not even close. The Ps2 version has a personality and charm that just seems void on Ps5 in what I've seen thus far.

 

[El Muerto]

SH2 was a masterpiece. Cannot improve perfection. Konami is just trying to make a quick buck pimping out pyramid head and the nurses.

And what's your take on remake soundtrack so far? They released a preview of it on Silent Hill official YT.

Actually looks like Bloober team is taking this fairly seriously, it looks pretty impressive to me and i love the OG (still have my PS2 copy)

I listened to it yesterday - hard to say without hearing it in game. It definitely is different. This is a tough one for me..i originally played SH2 on Xbox decades ago and it struck a nerve, the same way I felt finishing OoT, Resident Evil 4, or MGS:Snake Eater...it was one of the first soundtracks I ever imported from Japan, I just fell in love with the story, the characters and dark & moody the whole thing is. I've gone back and forth between being baffled on why this would be remade...and I'm no fan of Bloober, but it looks to be shaping up decently. I just wish Konami would do right by those of us that want easily accessible ways to play the originals.

 

[Arsic]

Day one no matter what. Never played SH2 so this should be a real treat.

You're selling me on it, dude. Looks pretty good.

Please, please, please have ultrawide support.
