Shocking: Silent Hill 2 Teaser Blows Up on YouTube Following Years of Hype and Speculation

lets hope this Blooper team I heard all bad things and not many positive things pull it off. 😬

While there are little things that irk me a little from the trailer like the mirror scene losing all ambiguity and mystique, it’s definitely looking better than I expected from Bloober. We’ll see.

@nessisonett Stuff like the mirror scene is my issue Bloober. They always seem to try their hardest to copy SH vibes into their games but fail so hard doing it because it seems they do not get it. Let's hope Ito has a close eye on them. As soon as they give this remake "their own twist", I fear for the worst honestly.

I have never played Silent Hill or know something about it. Still, the trailer and screenshots looks like it is quiete an athmosperic game. I really like games with stories that are not built for kids and have depth to it.

@djape At worst they're average. What you mostly see is people scoring online points for the bandwagon. As well as people who were never fans of the genres/gameplay style of some of their previous games. So-called "walking sims" are pretty divisive, which especially shows when exposed to a large audience on a service like gamepass like The Medium was.

I see no reason behind this negativity around bloober except trolls getting on the bandwagon. Everything bloober released so far was decent and very atmospheric. I'm a huge silent hill fan and don't have the slightest worries and even if it shouldn't work out well, there's still pcsx2 or my dusty PS2 slim.

Ye This is fine. But Very disappointing at the same time. Seems like everyone forgot that the reason we are hyped for Silent Hill is because KOJIMA WAS MAKING A HORROR GAME!? Not because all silent hill games are “10/10” and definitely not because “Konami is the best publisher”… WE DID NOT WANT 10 SILENT HILL INDIE GAMES, WE WANTED A HORROR GAME FROM KOJIMA! A new thinking game, horror like we never seen before.

@Majk_SVK Then you’re in for a treat, SH2 is definitely not for kids, and neither is the rest of the series. Hope you enjoy it, and that you get a chance to play the original as well as all the other games 👍

@jrt87 but let's be honest, the combat in silent hill was never it's strong suit.

Looking forward to this - think Silent Hill 2 was the only one of the series that I actually completed.

99.99% sure that the actor doing performance capture for James is Luke Roberts (used to be in Holly City!)

@tameshiyaku What worries parts of the fanbase isn't the notion that Bloober is bad per se. But they said multiple times that some of their games are inspired by the psychological horror from Silent Hill. And you can tell that they are aiming at psychological horror but (and that is only my opinion), it is executed horribly in their games which is why I hope that Ito and the team have a close eye on this. But as you said, there's always the possibility to play the OG game. it would just be a shame if such an influential title would not capture the spirit that made it so great.

@nessisonett Thank you for pointing out the mirror scene, really bugs me that they changed it in that way

@dschons Masahiro Ito has said in his tweets that he is aware of the worries of Bloober handling this so I really hope he is

I only ever played the OG game and was more frustrated with it than enjoy it so I never played any of the others. This peaks my interest, but I'll have to wait for a full review once it comes out before I would consider it. Also, seems odd they are starting with #2 and not the first game. I'll do some story lore videos and catch up maybe.

21 years since the original Silent Hill 2 released. Was my second PS2 game after Twisted Metal Black. Sure triggers my midlife Crisis. I should buy a DeLorean!

I think the way he looks is just horrible, way too caricature-ish for some reason, and he looks old af. This was somehow made even more aparent after getting the RE4 trailer the next day. No bueno.

His face looks too long. Like a deformed hotdog

@DylanP speak for yourself. Many people love Silent Hill since decades, and Kojima never had anything to do with them until that teaser from some years ago. Silent Hill 2 is regarded as one of the best ones in the franchise with the most emotional story, I rather much preferred the original Silent Team remaking it rather than Kojima or anyone else who'll likely not be able to translate it well in a remake.

@Shredderlovespizza that's because Silent Hill 2 is the most beloved one in the franchise, the first 4 are considered the better SH games because the original Japanese developer was making them, but overall SH2 is regarded as the best one and one of the best horror/psychological games of all time.

@Finozzi1696 are you crazy? I would be the angriest person in the world if they PUT KOJIMA ON A REMAKE!? You are proving my point perfectly, totally forgot why we were excited in the first place... you are not special bro, everybody in the world prefers the original team for the remake, and no one was excited for Kojima to work on a remake of SH2.

Also, the SH2 remake sounds fine, I will get it day one (even tho its an indie studio and Konami is treating SH with 0 respect). But to be excited by 10 different indie games...
just because a game has the name Silent Hill, doesn't mean it will be great, BUT Kojima kinda does. GIVE US SILENT HILLS (not Silent HILLF)

@Finozzi1696 Thanks, this helped a lot. I may have to check it out then.
