Silent Hill 2's development was rough on Bloober Team because of online 'hate'

[Wolfman-RIP]

"It was tough for those couple of years before Silent Hill 2 Remakes release," "They made the impossible possible, and it was a bumpy road because of all the hate on the internet. The pressure was big on them, and they delivered" Bloober Team director/Designer

Hate, harassment and derogatory comments about the actors and developers needs to stop, they are normal people and did a really great job. I doubt anyone else could have done it better.

[Obi WanX Konami]

The same people edited sites to post fake reviews & edited fake videos to attack the voice actors while throwing insulting.

That's your second "trust me bruh" thread. How about you backup your claims with sources instead of going full disney.

[XΞИOΛLIΞИ]

Game is good, only thing the original did better was the voice acting

[Peek-A-Boo!]

I guess people just want to hate something, unfortunately. Bloopers did a good job of keeping the same spirit of the game without touching the symbolism and mostly improving the game with rare exceptions

I ain't that hyped. I still prefer the OG versions. They should have remade the first SH. Done their own thing but nope.

I'll pick this game up when it's cheaper. Just because it looks fine with the graphics doesn't mean I'm dropping $70+ just for that.

I think team did a fantastic job and watching comparison videos to classic we didn’t get a censored game at all.

I'd say the game looks fine "graphically" even though it just reminds me of Resident Evil 2, Alan Wake 2 (from the way they look/play and from what i've seen in videos)

but as for the censorship, the first Pyramid head scene with him in the kitchen (now James hides in a closet?)

The way the characters look (Angela looks weird to me now, the eyebrows and male shaped face/head...) this is how she looked in the OG game https://silenthill.fandom.com/wiki/Angela_Orosco?file=Angela_SH2.png all they had to do was bring that model to life in this remake

The OG Maria https://silenthill.fandom.com/wiki/Maria?file=Maria_SH_2.png and they changed her outfit and etc in this version.

There are probably more changes/differences but I'm not an SH 2 expert that knows the game inside out. You'd have to ask them.

what do you mean "now James hides in the closet" ?
seriously guys get your sh!t together, stop jumping in conclusions that have 0 credibility
i won't go any further everything else has been talked to death

OP literally contains a quote. If you're so doubtful of its veracity, you could drop it into Google. Or you could just be lazy and claim that they're making things up.

Here's a source:

James hides in a closet in the original.

It's a reference to the movie Blue Velvet.

Seriously, I don't understand how we've gotten to the point where people are giving the remake so little credit, that they are just making things up to be mad about.

here is the article btw:

they gonna work on other games on their own now, so i don't think we will get a remake from them again.

can't blame them honestly, the so called "real fans" are absolute cancer. no wonder silent hill never got a sequel.

More SHRs 100% coming. Question is which [first]. The ARG heavily hinted at SH: The Room.

Sadly I think they will do it since it's standalone, then tackle SH1+SH3.

if they can turn the second half (we all know what part) in to a less frustrating experience i'm all in for a SH4 remake

[klimat13]

Please, no SH4 for now...

"Real fans" are often the most critical when it comes to their beloved franchises,

One too many changed things can make or break the success of a title because you're hoping as a dev that the fans will see what's coming and it will be an instant buy for them.

I think bloober did a great job imo, if anybody could have pulled it off, bloober was the ideal choice.

but imagine Henry "what the hell" Townshend in full remake glory - joking -
Whatever title bloober decides to do if they put the love and respect they did with SH2 it will be great

I mean their previous games were pretty bad and all of us have to live with the consequences of our actions.

I'm a Systems Engineer, if I fail at my job I will be fired or demoted. These guys are lucky they kept their jobs and were allowed to turn the ship around. In most industries you just get fired if you don't perform well.

It's not "hate" if my boss tells me I'm bad at my job and refuses to give me another chance. It's business. We didn't HAVE to give blooper another chance. I'm glad they proved us wrong, but they were NOT entitled to another chance.

And, on the other hand, it goes the other way.

Given the fact that their last game made its budget back in 2 months, i.e. it was a success, and given that SH2R is also a success, it makes sense that they will continue to develop games.

Which, like Bloober, if you're doing a good job and still getting hate, could be said to be unfair.
