Photographs that allegedly present a Silent Hill 2 remake have been doing the rounds on-line over the weekend, that includes creepy nurses and the very shadowy again of protagonist James Sunderland’s head. They’re appropriately blurry, contemplating the collection’ penchant for mistiness, however nonetheless recognisably Silent Hill. As soon as once more, it’s claimed that the sport is being developed by Layers Of Concern studio Bloober Crew.
Nightfall Golem, who leaked photographs purporting to be of one other Silent Hill mission earlier this yr, commented when the pictures have been shared on ResetEra by one other consumer. The brand new photographs are taken from an inner pitch demo produced by Bloober Crew to land the mission, Nightfall Golem claims.
“I discussed earlier than Konami was in search of pitches in Summer time of 2018,” Nightfall Golem stated, “this was one of many pitches that received greenlit, however take it for what it’s; a proof of idea no finances demo to pitch an idea.” The pictures present an over the shoulder digital camera, extra harking back to Capcom’s remakes of Resident Evil 2 and three than the glimpse of the place a scrapped Silent Hill reboot may have gone that legendary PlayStation demo P.T. supplied.
This isn’t the primary rumbling we’ve heard of Bloober Crew being concerned in a Silent Hill mission. Again in Might, Graham and I each reported on rumours that The Medium and Blair Witch devs could possibly be cooking one thing up. Bloober Crew’s CEO stated on the time that they couldn’t touch upon whether or not they have been engaged on Silent Hill as a result of they admire their relationship with their companions. You may learn into that for your self.
The core Silent Hill collection isn’t nicely served on PC presently. Yow will discover Silent Hill 4: The Room on GOG however, except you personal a duplicate on disc or resort to different means, you possibly can’t pay money for the primary three video games and haven’t been capable of for years. Konami tweeted final month that they’re going to be bringing Steam variations of “traditional video games you like” to their official store quickly, and whereas Silent Hill would not make an look of their teaser video, their corresponding Instagram publish does embody the hashtag #silenthill, suggesting the unique could be getting a Steam launch in some kind in spite of everything – though whether or not will probably be a easy port or full-on remaster just like the Bloober-rumoured one stays to be seen.
In case you do personal a duplicate of one of many older video games then it is lots smoother to run them than it was although, due to neighborhood fiddling and mods. The primary three Silent Hill video games are the traditional expertise of foggy streets, psychological edginess and weird-faced monsters, so it’d be a pleasing change to no less than have considered one of them again in some kind, Konami.
Nothing’s been confirmed from Bloober Crew or Konami but, however I’ll let you already know if issues change. Rumours declare it’s coming to PC and can be a timed-exclusive on PlayStation. If it exists, in fact.
