The developer of the hotly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake has taken the weird step of interesting for persistence as requires gameplay from keen followers intensify.
After months of hearsay and hypothesis, Konami introduced the Silent Hill 2 remake as a part of its Silent Hill Transmission occasion in October 2022. During the occasion, Konami showcased a three-minute trailer that offered a have a look at the famously foggy city in 4K. In addition to offering glimpses of Pyramid Head and different notable components from the unique sport, the trailer confirmed that Bloober Team, the Polish studio greatest recognized for horror video games Layers of Fear and The Medium, had been signed to deal with growth.
But we’ve not seen something extra of the sport within the yr since, leaving followers to feed on scraps of info gleaned from interviews. And following the launch of the closely criticised interactive streaming collection Silent Hill: Ascension, and confusion over what gave the impression of the inclusion of a “particular origin story” for Pyramid Head, it’s honest to say followers are wanting to see extra of the Silent Hill 2 remake.
It appears to be like like Bloober Team is bearing the brunt of the group requires extra footage, which as the sport’s developer is maybe unfair. In a tweet printed final week, Bloober directed followers to Konami, the corporate it mentioned was liable for Silent Hill’s advertising.
“When may we anticipate to get some information on the Remake, or is that as much as Konami?” Twitter / X person @SodaRMT requested. “It’s kinda arduous to be caught within the fog for over a yr with nothing new, even some screenshots can be good.”
Here’s Bloober’s blunt response: “Konami is the writer of the sport and communication is certainly a part of their job.”
It seems Bloober has had sufficient of this form of factor from followers, a lot in order that it felt the necessity to launch a assertion on its social media channels over the weekend that strikes to stress followers that each one is nicely with the sport, but additionally to level out that bulletins will come from Konami, not the developer.
Here’s the assertion in full:
“As Bloober staff, we’re proud to be part of Konami’s plan for the Silent Hill franchise. Alongside our accomplice, we’re diligently working to make sure the Silent Hill 2 remake attains the best high quality.
“On behalf of our growth staff, we wish to make clear that the manufacturing is progressing easily and in accordance with our schedule. We perceive that many gamers around the globe are eagerly anticipating information in regards to the sport, and we admire your dedication.
“However, we kindly ask for a bit extra persistence. Once Konami, as the sport’s writer, shares extra info, we’re assured that the wait might be worthwhile
“Thank you to your understanding and help!”
Reaction to the assertion is combined. While there may be loads of help for Bloober, alongside some feedback calling the assertion what it truly is (ask Konami!), concern stays in regards to the standing of the Silent Hill 2 remake.
This is mainly a “ASK KONAMI YOUR COWARDS”
