A remake of Bloober Team Silent Hill 2 It’s coming to PlayStation 5 and PC on October 8, and it looks cool and scary. It is possible to order in advance PlayStation Store and Steam.
It’s been less than two years since Konami and Bloober Team made their announcement Silent Hill 2 the remake, even though news of its existence leaked months ago, gave fans plenty of time to turn the situation into a disaster. Today we got the first gameplay trailer for the remake, which showcases the familiar corridors lined with bloody nurses, low-light environments crawling with bugs, and other unpleasant surprises lurking in the ever-sleepy town of Silent Hill. Everything looks great with modern visuals, lighting and sensibilities.
The release date trailer dropped during today’s PlayStation State of Play presentation. Right after that, Konami held a separate event just for him multiple Silent Hill projectsincluding a broad overview Silent Hill 2 to do again.
Bloober Team is the studio behind the Layers of Fear franchise, Observer, Blair Witch and Medium — all perfectly serviceable psychological horror experiences. Still, there’s plenty to live up to: Silent Hill 2 is a cute, classic horror game. It hit the PlayStation 2 in 2001, and more than 20 years later, many fans are anxious to see how the remake will fare. Bloober Team completely rebuilt the game, including full performance capture and replacing the semi-fixed camera with a modern third-person perspective.
Bloober Team co-founder Piotr Babieno told Engadget in June 2023 that the studio changed its entire game creation ethos Silent Hill 2 to do again. Instead of leading with mood and script, they made the mechanics the basis of on-screen terror, using player input to create unease. The Layers of fear The collection, released last summer, marked the end of Bloober Team’s psychological-horror era. As Babieno said last June:
“This year is like closing the era of making psychological horror games. We’re currently entering Bloober Team 3.0, mass market horror…. We’ve decided that our next titles should be more mass market oriented. We would like to talk to more people. We like to convey our ideas through action, not through environment or story, with our DNA. So all our future titles will have a lot of gameplay mechanics. They will be bigger.”
