Developer seems to be to ‘safely’ modernize 2001 horror traditional

When it was lastly revealed that the horror-lovin’ developer Bloober Crew can be producing a remake of Konami’s Silent Hill 2, there have been some grumblings from the peanut gallery, with some followers feeling that the Layers of Worry and The Medium developer won’t be as much as the duty in dealing with the beloved 2001 launch

Maybe sensing stated concern, (or just after studying all the complaints on social media), Bloober Crew has famous its intention to current a devoted and genuine adaptation of the survival horror traditional, one which can seize the spirit and heavy environment of the unique title whereas modernizing a few of its extra dated parts.

“We’re specializing in bringing the distinct, visceral environment again within the modernized Silent Hill 2. Longtime followers shouldn’t fear about us ‘lacking the purpose’ whereas we’re livening up the title.” stated advertising chief Anna Jasińska in an interview with DreadXP. “We are going to faithfully persist with the standard story canon whereas remaking the gameplay and updating the graphics from the bottom up.”

Anna cites particular examples that might be tweaked within the remake embrace the usage of the in-game digicam, in addition to the fight mechanics. Jasińska describes the group as taking a “very protected method” to any of the proposed in-game modifications, however is dedicated to making sure that the remake will current a contemporary and modern version of the now 20-year-old PS2 title.

If I could play Satan’s Advocate, Marge, I’m keen to present Bloober Crew the good thing about the doubt. I believe that Layers of Worry, The Medium, and Observer supplied creepy environment, psychological horror, and suitably unnerving visuals, and the Polish developer has proven progress with every consecutive launch. Whereas tampering with a stone-cold traditional is full of untold danger, these are, sadly, the breaks that include getting a remake in any respect. There’s undoubtedly a mighty, thankless process forward.

We’ll see whether or not Bloober Crew is ready to show all of its doubters unsuitable when Silent Hill 2 remake lastly emerges from the fog. Within the meantime, try the complete interview over on DreadXP.
