A Silent Hill 2 Remake tormented by players
It's never easy to confront the opinions of players when revealing your next creation. The developers know this well since they often deal with strong reactions from some, and the studio behind this PlayStation 5 exclusive can attest to that. Indeed, the Bloober Team teams are sometimes heckled about the famous remake of Silent Hill 2 on which we are still waiting to lay our hands. A few weeks ago, during the month of February, players were shocked by the trailer shown during State of Play.
The subject of discord was the emphasis on a very action aspect in this remake which contrasted too much with the memories of the original experience. The morning after the broadcast, the players pointed out that this extract was the black point of the presentation organized by Sonyforcing the developers to speak out to, in part, spit on the backs of Konami, the publisher of the game and, incidentally, the entity that manages the marketing around this Silent Hill 2 Remake. Regardless, the developers are trying to make amends to make up for it, arguing that they can't wait to show real gameplay. However, before sharing footage of the game in action, they revealed James Sutherland's face and there's a change!
A small change that says a lot about the attention paid to player feedback on this exclusive PS5 console
At the time of the revelation of the first images of Silent Hill 2 Remakewhose facies “ next-gen » of the hero, the Bloober Team studio had come up against the thoughts of the players, criticizing features that were too outdated. So, rather than holding back, the developers collected the numerous comments and corrected the appearance of the character to allow him to convey a younger image and closer to the original experience. It was in particular by digging into the data on the SteamDB site that players noticed these modifications and the publication of a new image with the modified features.
Although they are discreet, Bloober Team developers are not letting up their efforts and are actively working in the shadows, as we can see with this simple redesign from James Sutherland. However, even the most discreet movements do not escape the players' vigilance. Overall, multiple rumors in the corridor evoke the return of Silent Hill 2 Remake during a PlayStation Showcase which, as tradition dictates, would be organized around the months of May and June. This would, for example, be an opportunity for Silent Hill 2 Remake to reveal a release date. For the moment, this rumor has not been confirmed and we are still waiting for an official statement from Sony and PlayStation to know whether, yes or not, we will discover James's redesigned face in a gameplay sequence.
