Interesting video on how much Bloober Team sucks.

We all know about their catalog of trite walking sims filled with derivative horror; as well as their awful writing and inability to handle sensitive subject matter. This video goes back further and covers just how shamelessly derivative they've been since their inception. It's a real shame these hacks are getting their hands on SH2.

Plot twist: all of their titles were just prototypes to show Konami that they can copy a silent hill game and vibe

100% I thought this the second it was announced they were making silent hill 2 remake.

Normally I wouldn't actually entertain the idea, but I think they'll focus harder on this than any other title, and in fact knew they would all along.

Well, they failed horribly.

Unfortunately, Konami does not actually care whether a developer can capture the style and tone of Silent Hill.

Yeah, but that video is not alarming for SH2 project. Sure it does show that they don't have much creative talent in their team as all they do is copy other's ideas (badly) but for SH2 Remake that's exactly what they were hired to do, copy someone's else work. Difference now is that they don't have to make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollar store version of those ideas and mask them poorly, they get to copy the original ideas to the fullest, meaning less of a chance to ruin that copy with their own input.

I kind of hope that through all these projects they gained some connections to Japanese studios so they were among the choices available, looking at other projects involving japan and the west it seems like it's really hard for them to communicate (or they're just really stuck up, could be both really). I am not biased specifically against any other studio, I think even other Japanese devs will have trouble recreating the same tone

My thoughts exactly. Also they did work with unreal engine 4 and it seems like new layers of fear game will run on unreal engine 5, so they've got the technical expertise too. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that they will try to make it more "cinematic" (and fail probably), I mean to this point if all they looked up to is "playable teaser" (and not the source material, basically prototype, minimal gameplay, hints of story and location but not the actual game) they could think that that's all silent hill is.

Man, you've got the kind of hate for this company that makes me think you're an ex employee or something. They're really not that bad. They're also not writing the game, just adapting it to UE5 and updating the gameplay and mechanics.

They'll do fine, trust me. Or, it'll be inadequate and you can rest easy knowing that fools like me spent our hard earned money on the game while you were smart enough to avoid it because no one put a gun to your head and forced you to buy it.

I watched the video your comments don't make much sense.
Silent Hill IS a Resident Evil derivative that has stolen plenty of monsters and scenes from film and other media.

The video itself literally addresses everything you're about to complain about.

Silent Hill has its inspirations, but it either hides those inspirations well, or it has an interesting enough interpretation of them.

Bloober just wholesale copies ♥♥♥♥ without nuance.

Coincidentally stole from Indiana Jones as well:

I have no idea what I'm suppose to be seeing here.

Silent Hill developers also did shovelware before Silent Hill - Takayshohi Sato did Sexy Parodius which is just horny teen bait Toyama and Imamura did a sports game International Track & Field.

Neither of these are shovelware. It's incredibly disingenuous to compare either of these to Bloober's catalog.

This video is a joke he's desperately trying to paint them in a worse light than they actually are. If you want to criticize The Medium then do it instead of going through the past of a struggling developer that was at the time.

Layers of Fear 2 released in 2019, dude.

They have literally never made a good game. All of their attempts at horror represent the absolute worst the genre has to offer. I hate them so much.

I guarantee you they're rewriting portions of the script. They're also recreating cutscenes to have worse cinematography, directing, and acting. They're changing the art style, tone, and atmosphere of the game. They're removing the curated camera angles of the original in favor of an over the shoulder camera. They're also toning down the puzzles; and I promise you, they're going to fill the game with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ modular puzzles on the level of hacking minigames.

They'll do fine, trust me.

I'm not sure why people keep saying this in reference to a developer responsible for some of the worst ♥♥♥♥ in the genre.

Much like Demon's Souls, a bad remake is taking the place of a proper remaster.
