Off the again of the success of the Silent Hill 2 Remake – a remake that blew my preliminary low expectations out of the water fully – Konami has introduced that it’s working with Bloober Group as soon as extra to remake the unique Silent Hill from 1999. We don’t but have a launch window, nonetheless, with the sport being introduced as ‘in improvement’ from Bloober Group and Konami, with no extra particulars.
This reveal isn’t precisely stunning, on condition that Bloober Group introduced it might be working with the writer once more in future not lengthy after Silent Hill 2 Remake’s launch. This led many, together with myself, to imagine that remakes of Silent Hill and Silent Hill 3 could be on the playing cards. In spite of everything, Bloober Group did such job of faithfully remaking Silent Hill 2, so it might be a damned disgrace to not give the studio one other shot at remaking extra cult traditional entries within the sequence.
Happily, it’s clear that Konami has thought the identical, and Silent Hill followers can now sit up for returning to the foggy, disturbing city of Silent Hill as soon as extra. Relatively than being launched to James Sunderland and his less-than-pleasant trauma surrounding his late spouse, Silent Hill places gamers into the sneakers of single father Harry Mason as he and his adopted daughter set off on vacation to the city, in an try to hunt some respite after the passing of Harry’s spouse. Okay, which may appear a bit of just like Silent Hill 2, however hear me out.
On the best way to Silent Hill, Harry and Cheryl wind up in a automobile crash, and when Harry wakes up, his daughter is nowhere to be discovered. The story then ensues with Harry desperately looking for his daughter and assembly all method of terrifying creatures and kooky characters alongside the best way. This nonetheless sounds just like Silent Hill 2, however imagine me, there’s much more occurring right here than the likes of Harry Mason’s psyche that I dare not spoil for people whose first expertise of the story might be this remake.
Bloober Group has its work reduce out for it remaking one more Silent Hill sport. It’s lots of strain to be placed on any developer’s shoulders. That stated, after simply how nicely Silent Hill 2 was executed and the way a lot well-deserved reward it garnered, I personally have fairly excessive hopes for something Silent Hill that has Bloober’s identify connected to it. What do you assume?
