Yep. Exactly what I predicted.

CEO also confirms it was an old build.

Only like 2 people that created OG silent hill 2 were even a part of this remake lol
But it's the two big ones.

And Masahiro Ito not only did the creature designs this time, he also did the combat system.

CEO is throwing some serious shade at Konami.

They actively know that the trailer that was shown is not what they intended.

Still cannot comment on release date but feel confident that the game is in a much better state than what was shown.

Know that trailer was too combat heavy and doesn't capture the spirit of SH2.

Have to "grit their teeth" over Konami's decisions.

Nah.

The entire Bloober Team is furious with Konami but what are you gonna do? They funded the whole project.

Normally Id write this off as the devs being unable to take criticism well and passing the blame onto someone else, but the fact that Konami fucked up the MGS collection so hard it had to be patched multiple times to be in a playable state, Im willing to believe the devs on Konami being at fault. Id believe them either way because its fucking Konami, fuck Konami
"If you hate me get in line!" Time to fist ppl in Ishin baby!
tbh nothing they showed looked out of line for how shit bloober team usually is, weird that they felt the had to throw the blame at someone. they are doing as expected
Looks like this gamer's paradise has turned into a gamer's hell...............................................
You failed the moment you started compiling combat footage for a Silent Hill game.

I feel like y'all are underestimating Konami being garbage.

Like I'm not saying this remake will be good or anything, but I very much believe Mr. Bloober on this topic.

Part of Konami being garbage is them picking Bloober to begin with. They love picking unqualified Western devs to handle series they long since fired most of the Japanese staff for (MGS, Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra, etc.). They're both shit, that's why they're working together.

why are the devs blaming the publisher for the way the game is developed lol

sounds like they showed how terrible it is and bloober wanted to hide it or something

He's claiming that the footage shown is from an older build of the game.

He also says that the trailer - which is entirely combat focused - is not the spirit of the game which makes sense because SH2 was never about the combat.

Have you played SH2? To me it sounds like Konami wants to market it as an action game when it isnt really. Thus leading to the creation of a lackluster combat trailer... cause the combat in SH is lackluster.

What are the chance that Konami decided to can the project because of this tweet?

They always did that regardless of whatever staff they employed. See Metal Gear Solid HD collection done by Bluepoint Games (it was pretty good) and Silent Hill HD collection done by Hijinx Studios (it was a horrible experience much like the horrors of Silent Hill).
The one and only and still the best.

I actually think the combat in 3 is good. If you get good at parrying with the katana you can style on some bosses.

To be honest, this just sounds like a damage control from Bloober.
But the stupid thing they done is blaming Konami for it.

Konami may use the the older build, but have Bloober sent them the current build? Konami made the trailer based on what they have. Now it sounds like Bloober just trying to save face from the bad reception.

I think it sounds like there's no communication between Konami and Bloober, and Konami is trying to get action fans to buy the game, so they used a combat montage as a trailer.

Devs always want to make good games. They're artists. The CEO of a game company publicly calling out the publisher of the game that hasn't released yet is unprecedented.

(Also, the interview has been taken down now.)

When things go south with a game, nine times out of ten it's because of the publisher, not the studio.

I fully believe Bloober Team here.

first of all unless they drastically tone down the action hero gun play the combat is not going to fit period

2nd bloober team is a garbage dev team who is terrible at handling the subject of mental health which is very important to silent hill 2

3rd konami is absolute garbage as well both the current silent hill projects they have put out fail to capture the spirit of silent hill

both sides can be garbage here

The entire point the CEO was making is that the trailer is not indicative of the game because they focused solely on combat.

Nailed it.

Which means they do understand the essence of SH.

The gameplay was always going to he over the shoulder, RE2 Remake like. That was a given. We've known since the reveal trailer that it would have an over the shoulder camera. No one wants to play tank controls or fixed cameras in 2024.

This game has to sell to more people than just classic SH fans.

im saying james should not be skilled at gunplay at all

he is just some dude a regular guy

his ability with a gun should just be point and shoot

that's what he was doing in the trailer, though.

the only real difference from the original is camera perspective - if you have a behind the back camera, you can aim it more freely.
Don't you agree, Zach?

Modern gamers would hate that. It was always going to be RE2 Remake.

And no, the original game's combat was bad because of the hardware limitations, not fans' head canon about James being a regular dude.

Plenty of regular people can pick up a gun and shoot it

Exactly. Probably there just wont be any upgrades that make guns any better and maybe limit the firing rate with more realistic reloading times. Also making ammo scarce.

SEXY SEXY!
bloober team "we want to put more focus on action in our games"

you lot "the action wont be focused on"

They made that statement AFTER they worked on SH2 because it was their first game with combat and they liked making it.

Nothing wrong with that.

Omg. Reading comprehension not your strong suit, huh?

Because they got to make a game with combat, they are now interested in doing more.

Think, think!

I'm with them on the notion that a combat trailer wasn't a good idea in the first place, because the combat wasn't a focus in the original (and it was shit there, too), but the whole "We totally have a secret version of the game where the combat is great we just showed off an earlier build" thing has real "My game goes to a different school" energy.

This, I love Silent Hill cause of the horror atmosphere and dread you felt playing it with great/sad characters that made you feel for them for the first three at least.

They have to show the combat and make it look action-y to pull in a bigger market.

It's just marketing strategy.

No one denied it was from old build, the question is where is the new build?
You can't just claim that you have a new one without giving a proof.
And if they did have them, why isn't it shown to Konami so they can make the trailer based on new build?

Hating in Konami is understandable, but white knighting Blooper because of it is laughable.

Konami seems to have just gotten old footage and thrown together a trailer for the hell of it.

It's clear Konami and Bloober are not on good terms anymore.
