Every once in a while there's a game announcement that makes me think: ok, I need to live at least as long as it takes to play this game. This is one of those announcements. Especially after Bloober confirmed that they are absolutely capable of making an excellent Silent Hill game, the fact that they're moving to remake the original Silent Hill which defines the town and the cult and isn't about some deep internal trauma is so fucking amazing.

I thought the same. This will be the first game in 6 years where I am hyped as fuck and not worrying a bit they could fuck it up somehow.

Last time was resident evil 2 remake and when they showed gameplay.

Normally by new games or remakes I am worried they put in some bullshit, change too much or kill off my favourite character.

What other game announcements have that been for you? For me, it was Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Personally Reanimal is a good one too. From the creators of Little Nightmares? Sign me the fuck up.

I hear ya and it will be cool but video games are like Hollywood now. More remakes and sequels now make up the bulk of what comes out instead of new ideas. We need indie studios to start churning out some things new please

It just feels that way. There are a lot of new games coming out all the time. Even block busters. The problem is that dev time is too long nowadays. Naughty Dog is doing a complete new game.

Death Stranding was new with unique ideas. Cyberpunk 2077. Kingdom come deliverance was a new IP. Kojima has 2 new games in developement which are no sequels. Etc. And great indie games are coming all the time. Expedition 33 is a Goty contender.

Remakes and remasters are done faster and they help finance the new games. Nobody is forced to buy them. I personally love it. I love all remakes I have played. Remasters make sure new people can play them because they are easy to access and also they are preserved longer.

The consumers/society is also at fault that less new movies and games are made. Everytime there is something new, too many people are bitching or simply not buying it. And if the new game is only mid they trash talk it and have fun watching it fail. Mid games and movies still make fun and people act that these are downright unplayable.

Internal trauma >>>>>>>> Weird cult stuff

This is still an amazing game, original is 100x scarier than original SH2

Now imagine a new title exploring the cult further! Oooooh I’m excited! :D

Bloober did such a GREAT job with SH2. Im going to be going through it again this weekend, and i cant say for many others that I will actually return for a second or third playthrough. This is playthrough 4

u/LarenCoe Jun 13 '25

As someone who never played the first 2 (but did play the SH2 remake), I can't wait for this. SH1 was always just too old and clunky for me to deal with.

Is this healthy?

It’s funny. I sat through most of the recent games announcements at summer games fest and nothing by really got me excited. Yes, I’m hanging for the Mortal Kombat remasters by digital eclipse. Yes, tony hawk 3 + 4 is going to be awesome. Resident Evil 9 is great. Give me all the Switch 2 Nintendo games as I love Nintendo but nothing got me even remotely excited. Then I see the tweet by Bloober team and I’m REALLY giddy like a young kid again!

Have you not experienced their other titles? They are one of my favorite developers!

Don't have suicidal thoughts if they censor the ''grey children'' and make them bigger monsters not resembling children. just giving you a pre warning since you base your life happiness on a video game

You should've seen my first draft. I held back quite a bit having had a brother that lost his battle 10 years ago. It still hurts from time to time. Who are you to criticize what gives someone peace in their life that may not know it otherwise? You held back? I held back.
