What was the budget for Silent Hill 2?

[Kacho]

Any word? Rough estimate?

[Zebedee]

Not yet. To give an idea of the scale Bloober Team have been working at, The Medium had a budget of around 7m Euros according to their CEO.

Hopefully we get Konami PR saying the game exceeded their expectations and multiple projects are in the works.

I really hope that it leads to Konami thinking about properly backing good Silent Hill projects too. Yes, it's niche and isn't going to be RE numbers for their beancounting slot machine loving execs but there's clearly demand for good psychological horror games.

And for Bloober Team it'd be great to see them have a bit more elbow room to build on this, whether more SIlent Hill or something new.

More Bloober remakes and more SH games in general would be a godsend.

Konami better be putting together proper SH collections that aren’t missing games to hold us over.

Playing this remake reminded me of why I loved Silent Hill. It’s one of a kind survival horror.

at least 300~400 million

Idk but the next SH is going to suck for sure (not even in Silent Hill and flowers are a main theme, replacing fog, rust, and filth) so if this wasn't successful, Silent Hill is done for forever.

Doubt it was a big budget for multiple reasons. Bloober is a small dev team meaning less money to pay them already. The medium was made under 7 million. Konami is also a notoriously stingy publisher so all things considered 10 mill at the most maybe 15

These are words but very incoherent.

Slightly more than double that of the medium which was 7 million. A 15 too 20 million budget with some of it paid off by Sony in their exclusivity deal.

A game this good on such a low budget. Deserves game of the year imo.

20 million seems rather low for a modern AA game, but I guess it's possible. I was thinking closer to 50 million. Either way, Silent Hill 2 sold well out of the gate and will continue to sell well with discounts over time. Should make a pretty penny for Konami. The more games out there = more people start paying attention to this niche series.

Probably Astrobot from what I hear.
