Konami’s latest earnings results mention Silent Hill ‘remakes’ | VGC

Bloober is officially remaking Silent Hill 2, but no other remake projects have been announced…

Konami has potentially suggested that more than one Silent Hill remake is in development.

The Japanese publisher revealed plans to revive its long-dormant horror series last October, when it announced that brand-new games were in the works alongside a Silent Hill 2 remake from developer Bloober Team.

Providing an update on its upcoming projects on Thursday as part of its quarterly earnings results, the company stated that Silent Hill “remakes” were being planned.

It said:

“As for ongoing efforts, we are working diligently on Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, which faithfully recreates the story, characters, and game design of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, one of the most beloved entries in the Metal Gear series, and updates its graphical style to modern graphics for the current generation, as well as remakes and completely new entries in the Silent Hill series, which gained popularity as a psychological horror game.”

Back to old Konami giving their treasured IP to every fucking dev out there.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, which faithfully recreates the story, characters, and game design of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

wait wait wait .. faithfully recreates?

so no modern sensibilities or Phantom Pain controls?

Also, that wording sounds like a generic qualifier, I wouldn't read too much into it.

The MGS collection barely qualifies as half-assed and the Snake Eater remake looks like Konami hired that man. Even if the Silent Hill 2 remake maybe looks a little better, what can you realistically expect from them? At some point gamers need to smarten up and not get instantly excited when companies announce these clearly cynical cash grabs.

Would love a Silent Hill Master Collection, yes please.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

this is not going to end well for anyone.

 

[BootsLoader]

They will screw this one up also. So nothing to see here.

 

[Punished Miku]

Boring.

Probably a good decision for sales though.

Blooner will become Sh remake factory. I bet they remake 4. sh2 hints at it

 

[acm2000]

konami are shit, their remakes are shit, their remasters are shit.

stop getting your hopes up for anything good at of that shell of a company and maybe one day you might get a somewhat pleasant surprise. maybe.

 

[Generic]

I hate remakes.

 

[Erebus]

Meanwhile the only Silent Hill remake they announced last year is AWOL.

The Konami comeback is turning out to be a sour nightmare. They just don’t get it.

They had a chance with Kojima for Silent Hill. That chance is gone. From Software at this point would make a better Silent Hill than Bloober.

Yeah just sell the 3 main ips to Sony and they can hired some talent to make AAA games of them

SH4 is the one game that could use a remake just not from bloober team.

It's super weird.

Phantom Pain controls would break the game entirely.

I missing seeing those handsome pot smoker lips.

 

[SJRB]

What they did with Ascension is easily one of the most vile, cynical, disgusting things I've ever seen in videogames.

Konami is just outrageously bad.

 

[GrayChild]

But of course. Konami must destroy the good memories we had with all the original Team Silent titles.

 

[adamsapple]

Phantom Pain controls would break the game entirely.

I just used that as a shorthand for modern controls, but at the very least it should have the crouch run that the 3DS port added.

The more I hear about this the more it sounds .. underwhelming.

 

[poodaddy]

Phantom Pain controls would break the game entirely.

I definitely think the crouch run from the 3DS version should be there. It's gonna be a bummer if it's not.

 

[Deerock71]

I'm thinking these are going to make their way on to the Switch.
