Silent Hill May Be Getting Brought Back By Bloober Team...

Great.

Now Dusk Golem is claiming there’s remakes of RE 0/zero in the works (along with Code Veronica) & that RE remake isn’t happening.

 

Really?



Capcom has lost the plot.

 

Release date of Oct for SH 2 remake. Digital collectors edition comes with several masks, digital art book & soundtrack which can only be played via PS5 - no mp3 download option.
Physical release is just the game but Game (UK) is offering a steel book for pre-ordering.

 

Yeah. I saw the showcase last night, and thought it was good. The lighting looks much better than Capcom's recent RE games, which is ironic. Aren't SH games supposed to be darker? LOL.

The detail is incredible. Wasn't sold on the face models at first, but they aren't bad. The combat looks good. I do think fixed camera angles are better, as they used to indicate the position of something important.

I hoped to see some new footage of the other games announced in 2022 from Annapurna Interactive (Townfall) and the other one called just f. But none of them made an appearance or were mentioned. Oh no.

Also, RE9 appeared on Play Asia. But some people suspect the listing is fake. It's hard to say. But I think a reveal is due soon, as Capcom has had a pattern of revealing RE games over the summer. Covid in 2020 was a broken gap, but I mean... it was Covid.

The cover has Leon on it and a lady, but you cannot see her face. It could be Rebecca, but it is probably Jill. Many fans have missed Jill as a main character.

While some people believe Maria died in the last animated film, some viewers noted her body was gone in a later shot. But I doubt Capcom will do a game that references the animated film, but it did happen before RE5 came out with Tricell being first mentioned in Degeneration.

By the way, I retired my accounts on all other forums, apart from here, maybe Biohaze, and a few others. Unfortunately, Biohaze is mostly inactive too.

I noticed all other forums have no activity. I therefore see no point in using them, but that nutjob we know obviously stalks me 24/7. He needs to be fully ignored now, which means just leaving the majority of forums behind now. You know how they are, these idiots.

 

Now the forums are ribbing/complaining about Angela’s face being too round. No doubt they love to complain.

RE9 appearing on PlayAsia was probably just due to the rumours of the game being released. Now there’s news of a delay that site probably removed it.

I recently bought MADiSON VR & it’s full of bugs. The biggest is that you can’t pick up an item which is found under floorboards due to the hand or item becoming stuck under the boards so trying to pick it up the ‘hand’ just disconnects from the item.
Sometimes the camera doesn’t take a photo.
Reported it but so far no reply from the devs.

Glad that you’re still on this forum. I’ve found the more negative a forum/group becomes the less people want to post - probably in fear of being ridiculed or abused for their comments.

 

Summer Game Fest started at 10 PM, but it has been, so far, a snoozefest. A real slog.

Capcom had some samurai game shown off. Only one new game has me curious. Once Human.

There's just 15 minutes to go until the event ends. But I cannot see RE9 or that being announced tonight. Although maybe Capcom will have another showcase down the road, perhaps this fall.

As for Angela in SH2. Yeah, she doesn't look right to me. But my expectations are always low now in this woke era. Apparently, Bloober Team had to hire consultants to avoid offending people with sensitive subject matter. That just sounds awfully dumb, to be honest.

Blumhouse Games also looks like an interesting new developer. Blumhouse of course being the brains behind movies like Get Out.

 

Nintendo direct has the usual games, only 1 I’m interested in is the new legend of Zelda where you actually play as Zelda.

I don’t mind the change with Angela, I just hope the game is good.

 

Same here. Although I have lost interest in survival horror. I just think for fans of it who started in the 90s, we know the landscape has changed.

Why'd I get a PS5, again?

Maybe we're being replaced; I had best check myself for any wiring.

 

The genre is getting too many similar games, when PT/SHs arrived there was a glut of the same ‘walking around corridors’ simulator games released & are still being released but they’re not a patch on PT.

Now a new RE game has been announced but no mention whether it is 9 or another remake yet. Many fans believe it is 9 though.

 

I hardly think of RE anymore. In fact, I got bored talking about it because on other forums, they were expressing how unhappy they were with my rants. Forums are seldomly active any more either. One I posted on called Silent Hill Community decided to cancel their prior forum. When you go to it now, the forum is new, but with no sub-sections. I honestly wonder why they did that, as the forum was semi-active already.

Everything I said I still believe in. I do think Capcom has copied a lot of ideas from other games, and that their current games just aren't very good.

What I dislike is how they always go back to 1998. I recently heard a rumour they may make RE0 into a movie, as well as develop yet another series for Netflix. But this is what I mean. Raccoon City was blown up in the original RE3, so it feels pointless to rehash the fate of the city in different mediums.

 

It can get monotonous on the forums especially if they find something they don’t like about a game.
Like when the 66 World Cup is regularly mentioned because they’ve not won anything since - yet the Women’s game has won several cups.

 

Yeah. I think they feel inclined to say something isn't good, just because the vast majority already feel that way, so not to look silly or whatever by trying to go against what the bulk of a fandom had already said with scorn in their voice.

RE6 for example is hated by most fans of RE as a whole, but I know a guy on another forum who says it is his top RE game, and he openly disregards haters who say otherwise. But I noticed he gets kind of agitated if you make a comparison with his user name mentioned, as if to say, "Please don't @ me!"

I think it is better to be honest and reflect on how one personally views a game. Because amid several dumb, "Cool story, bro"-esque troll posts I saw the other day there, I seen someone on another forum calling the RE2 remake a 'masterpiece' and admitting they hate tank controls and the static camera viewpoint in the older RE games, which says all there is to say about new age RE fans these days. So you can tell this person is a more modern follower, who only likes the feel of the recent games in the franchise, as he knows he can adapt to the more comfortable controls they appear to provide. And I'm not gonna play the gatekeeper and say somebody is wrong, just because they like the new games more. But it does seem a bit annoying when somebody claims to like a series, only if it appeals to the modern demographic as opposed to the people who supported it from its infancy stage, to where it is a household name to this day.

I will remain a low key fan of the series. But to be honest, Capcom has soured my perception on survival horror. It used to be a genre I willfully supported. I hate it how great games with content get buried, or called "movie games" by idiots. Projects met with passion, like Bend Studio's Days Gone. Yet they would rather act like those type of games are the crap ones, while letting Capcom know nonsense like RE8 is all the rage. It is why RE has held the title of Survival Horror King, in spite of many games being rather mediocre.

I conceded that I was wasting my time telling them about my feelings in long winded threads, and I therefore turned to streaming services to enjoy movies instead.

Really, though. I seldomly even think of video games because these companies like to show a brief trailer containing little content, then take 2 to 3 more years to release it or promote it further. I got bored with the lack of keeping fans in the loop, then gradually lost interest.

It probably won't even be worth the wait anyway.

 

It’s the same with the new Silent Hill 2. before the recent trailer the majority of fans were complaining about how Bloober would mess the remake up as well as saying it’d be a cr@p game. Now they’re all raving about how good it’ll be.

Sometimes fans can spoil a great franchise by abusing those who like a game which they don’t.

 

I was wondering where you went.



Yeah. Watch as Konami and Bloober Team gets torn apart by the pack of hyenas that makes up 98% of people on forums, YouTube, Discord, and so on.

It's stupid, because this remake looks faithful and is being extended - all at the same time. When Capcom did their remakes, their fans only nitpicked on RE3 for having omitted content and overlooked RE2 and 4 massively.

That's just biased. But you know how they are.

 

Lost access to the site as my 2fa via authenticator app received an error here. I had to find my backup codes to get in then change my 2fa back to email.
Yep, it sounds like more areas to explore so is much bigger than the original.
I pre-ordered via Game but the shop I ordered from decided to close so had to get a refund of my deposit; ordered via their website though for the steelbook pre-order bonus. However I’ll not receive it until the 14th. Seems to be coming from the U.S. or is just taking a long time - Game have confirmed it has shipped.

yeah, RE4re has segments missing/omitted yet the fans don’t mention that. I say just enjoy the games.

 

Yeah. It's pointless to engage in those kind of debates online. People are always going to disagree with something, whether that's an opinion in regards to gaming, what bands they like, or something as irrelevant as what you like to put on your toast. It doesn't matter what the subject is. Some people are often just daft, and feel the need to take something intended as entertainment way too seriously, and will stick up for something they admire, even if it means hissing and spitting like a cobra at those who they perceive are naysayers.

Like when The Last of Us Part II had Joel Miller dying at the hands of Abby Anderson, a fictional character, these losers threatened the life of her voice actress. Then when the TV series was preparing the second season, the actress playing Abby in that medium had to have protection. All of this because a character in a game was killed off.

I was posting on Biohaze. I'm actually astonished that my account ("Caffeine Addict") didn't get banned. The admin logged in, and we rarely see him. A few members apparently got banned. I was almost certain that I'd be one of them, as it was looking like a few members were implying they hated my negativity, and lurked on the forum, just to seize the chance to talk crap at me the other day. But surprisingly, I have dodged a bullet.

With that said, I'll take that as a friendly warning sign to just put in my time there and elsewhere, as opposed to giving them the satisfaction of having me outed. Plus, I don't want to offend their kind by calling them fanboys, or referring to them as the sheepfold, and whatnot. I do firmly believe that if something makes you happy, it's worth pursuing. That doesn't mean I think it's in any way shape or form right that Capcom continues to milk the RE franchise, or occasionally copy other games. Which I have noticed has happened. But I mean, why even bring it up on those kind of communities? It's obvious that even in the event you can prove them wrong, they will just buy the games regardless and go about their business, as if you never even replied at all.

In fact, I noticed on YouTube, this back and forth stuff happens to users all the time. Say you have a few K followers. Your channel will likely be pushed to the top, meaning it gives childish zealots the opportunity to find YouTubers to hate on. So if one states that they aren't buying a game for (insert reason), haters will hate. Usually when these haters say things like, "I have nothing against him or her", this is not actually correct.

Yes, people can be critical of others in a fairly calm manner. But it seems like the member called "Misery" on this autism forum I went on was right about why this happens. Channels just do this drama because they see it gets them views.

Offline, though, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? They're no-one. And when they speak at a fast tempo about someone, you know they're likely unhappy.

 

I think Bloober has done the game proud. The naysayers have shut up (apart from the odd one) & everyone seems to be enjoying the game.
These people can’t differentiate between real life & a game it seems - why do they think a VA has any control over what their character does.

I doubt my YT channel would ever be that popular. Most of those seem to be from users who just post rumours or their gameplay where they talk over the game. I just post how to videos.

Capcom know RE is very poplar so will no doubt be releasing many remakes knowing they’ll sell. Even if they released RE 5 &/or 6 which imo weren’t the greatest games.

 

Yeah. Very much faithful. Beautifully executed. I don't think the dialogue is quite as good as the original. It did not seem to reasonate with me all the time. But the game is so large and designed with awe, that it barely matters.

I seen a few YT users just saying stupid things and not making sense. One guy said James was in town looking for his "sister". How funny.

I don't know why after this, anyone will bash the talented group that is Bloober Team. Their old games maybe weren't good, but those games did not have a strong backing from the likes of Konami.

Just got word that a page appeared on Metacritic for RE9. Hoping that Capcom cleans up their act after a few duds. Their games are always well received. Maybe not RE3. But they do well enough that you know RE will be around for years to come.

 

I noticed there’s been an increase in RE9 rumours, whether they’ll come true or not only time will tell.

There’ll always be those who complain about Bloober & SH2re because they can’t believe they did such a good job. Bloober are interested in remaking more SH games which can only bode well for the franchise.
Hopefully they’ll consider the Born from a Wish dlc too.

 

Yeah. I think the naysayers owe them an apology. LOL. Fat chance of that happening.

Yes, RE9 sounds exciting. I heard a rumour about Barry being a supporting character. Definitely keen to have Capcom finally revisit the storyline about Alex Wesker, or more specifically, Natalia. They always do that, though. Add in new plot threads that they seem to abandon per each new game, which is why they never brought back Billy Coen from RE0.

It takes a while for Capcom to make sense of their storylines, as every game they develop can feel disjointed in terms of how it all links together. But I'm interested to learn more about the blue Umbrella and the Connections who Lucas Baker had contacted in RE7.

 

I too doubt that’ll happen.

No further news yet on RE9, just the same rumours about who’ll be appearing in the game. I’d think it’d make sense for it to be a continuation of 7 & 8 in that they’ll be searching for the Mold’s origins. Include in that a storyline on Lucas Baker & his connections with Blue Umbrella.

 

The Game Awards screened last night, but RE9 wasn't revealed. Capcom did confirm a new Onimusha game, at long last. But it's not expected to be released until 2026.

Astro Bot is the GOTY.

 

Tbh I didn’t think it would be but hoping they would make some announcement.

Yes, I was hoping SH2re would get something though.

 

I'm going to start a top 40 horror collection, specifically for the years 1960 to 1989. I am going to budget and only spend £100 a month. Some are out of print. I think sellers list things for more than they ought to, due to having to make a profit. But I doubt if a Blu-ray is really worth sixty quid.

Nope. Nothing going on for RE talk. LOL. Kind of ironic how I went on the likes of Biohaze and other forums, yapping about how it was a dying franchise. Now there's nothing new to cover, because all the news is really not even truly news, but more so hearsay.

Not heard anything more about SH:TF or f since 2022. I think it's unusual to go this long without any update. All we know is that No Code hasn't cancelled the game. There was an issue where Annapurna Interactive staff left over a dispute, but they were just announced as the game's publisher.

I haven't really felt like discussing survival horror online much, because some forums like JoyFreak are riddled with bots, or just have no more worthwhile threads to post in. There's all these "articles" they post, which lead to sites with suspicious content. But they are probably trying to promote things they shouldn't be.

 

Quite a number of my fav horror movies are even older - latest 30s - 40s with Universal & going into the 60s - 70s with Hammer. I have many Mummy films on DVD or Blu ray, Hammer Dracula, The Mummy & Frankenstein (Blu ray) & Universal’s The Mummy’s Hand (dvd).

Dusk Golem spoke up about it apparently giving what could be read as excuses as to why RE9 didn’t appear.

Perhaps they’re looking for another publisher for SH:TF & f although it shouldn’t mean Konami can’t say anything on updates.

I keep a low profile as much as possible due to trolls. IMO it depends on the specific group’s admin/mods - if they stamp down on trouble quickly then that’s fine but often they’re just as bad as the trolls, they’re the groups I leave.

 

Yes. I like the old Universal movies too. I guess I could do the 30s as well, but I bet a lot of those movies are hard to find.

I subscribed to a magazine called "Variety" to look at their archived grosses pages. They have box office information all the way back to the first week of March, in 1922.

 

Now there’s going to be another The Mummy remake - hope it isn’t as bad as the Tom Cruise version. Some of the old Universal films may not have done well Box Office-wise but have since become a cult classic.

There’s rumours that Bloober are remaking SH & SH3 as they have a number of games in production - fingers crossed for those.

 

Doing remakes and making subtle changes is okay. But I was actually happy to see that Konami was very faithful to the original SH2. It didn't feel like a massive betrayal in terms of altering too much, unlike how Capcom made Nemesis in RE3 into a walking trash bag who behaves like Batman and then "teleports" through a ceiling.

But what's even more funny is seeing Jill in 2015 wearing what looks to be the same attire from 1998 (for her remake model). Even in RE5 and so on, she was completely different. So these kind of changes are kind of noticeable, and may be confusing.

 

I want them to remake the full Dragon Age series, with remastered graphics, and have it be one continuous game where you have to advance through the whole story based on the world state you create instead of importing them as you go. I also want them to make it so that after you play through it once you can create alts that can either start a new world state, or enter the one you already created at any point as a SECONDARY character, playing through the aftermath of what you already decided to do.

 

Not heard anything about the Maria scenario being DLC. But it's about time the other games Konami unveiled in 2022 got some update.

I mean, Capcom hasn't had any recent RE news. But anything you see on Game Rant, etc, is speculative. And Dusk Golem is normallly behind it.

 

Ah, the classic Game Rant rumor mill strikes again. Yeah, Capcom hasn’t dropped any actual RE news recently, so anything floating around is just speculative fan fiction with a sprinkle of Dusk Golem’s “insider” guesses. Pro tip: until Capcom says it, it’s as real as a unicorn in Raccoon City.

 

f was rated in South Korea. It could mean nothing, of course, but at least progress is finally happening. Because Konami revealed that game over 2 years ago. The same with Townfall.

I hate today's gaming, where they show a trailer that reveals... absolutely nothing that makes sense... and then they take ages to issue any update. It gets to be so boring, with the hearsay. Because while a lot of it can come true, it could come from sources that are dishonest.

 

We are seeing more information arriving, however much is still just rumour. SH-f has been rated so that’s good news but there’s no further information about the story.
Without regular information people could lose interest.
I suspect that Born from a Wish will either appear 6 month - 1 year after release or they’ll not bother with the DLC at all.

The rumour mill has surfaced with stories that either RE Zero is the next remake or RE 1 is next - I’ll believe it when Capcom announces it.

Currently playing Assassin’s Creed IV- Black Flag but the Community chests are a nightmare to find. I found one for the robes but require 2 more for the 100% sync. In two weeks I’ve found a further 1.

 

I have no idea why Capcom always goes back to Raccoon City and 1998. They destroyed the city in the original RE3. So why they rehash that storyline, I have no idea.

I find it kind of sad. I know they want to bring it to a modern market with a new take on it, but this is just nonsense to a longtime fan who wants to see the future be brighter than ever. But they're stuck repeating the same storylines.

To summarise...

Outbreak 1 and 2.
ORC.
UC.
TUC.
TDC.
Movies by Paul Anderson.
Movie reboot.
Netflix series.
DBD RE DLC.
RE2 remake.
RE3 remake.
Etc, etc.

Make a new place, and call it Possum City.

 

Raccoon City is synonymous with Resident Evil so Capcom knows it’ll gather interest in the game or movie. No doubt the new wave of movies will visit RC at some point.
I agree there needs to be other places which should be as well known. Yet they didn’t give the villages in RE4 nor in RE8 a name afaik.

 

I haven't played horror games in ages. I hoped SH2 would have DLC. It would have been short anyway, but it still kind of feels wrong to leave out Maria's scenario.

I suspect RE9 news will come in the summer.

 

No further news on Born from a Wish DLC but there’s news that either or both SH & SH 3 remake is in the works:
https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/bloober-team-working-with-konami-on-next-silent-hill-2026

 

I sold SH3 ages ago when I was 'Jack Flint' (skint). Cannot even get it on the PS store. Yet the first game is on it very cheap, compared to what you would be paying for a sealed copy. It came out back in 1999, of course, so it may be worth thousands by 2050. LOL.

It's weird. But the entertainment specialists CeX don't buy platinum versions. Like how the director's cut of SH2 came to the PS2 after having exclusive content on the Xbox at first. Seems kind of odd, as I'm sure any version of SH2 must be worth a lot, giving the universal praise the remake gained.

While the next Bloober Team and Konami collaboration has yet to be revealed, I think you're right. It will most likely be a remake of 1 or 3, as they'll be like Capcom going forward.

https://www.thegamer.com/bloober-team-new-game-based-konami-ip-after-silent-hill-2/

 

I’m sure I’ve seen Platinum versions of games in the local Cex. Yes the original games sell for silly amounts.
Now we have Silent Hill f information (which looks ok) - based in Japan. No release date other than the usual 31st Dec placeholder.

 

Welcome back.

I wonder how the game ties to the mythology of Silent Hill, because I think some fans are curious as to why they would base a storyline outwith the US. I'm aware that other games sometimes shifted to other places, but they did not really bend the premise a great deal.

One theory I have is that the town or the essence it invokes can perhaps randomly summon anyone, regardless of their current whereabouts in the real world. So the otherworld can invade any country, I assume, via the supernatural power it yields. Like how Harry found Cheryl, or how James got a letter from Mary, or at least he believes it was from her.

I know the game called The Short Message was set in a fictional German town, but that kind of feels like a 'violation' of the [unwritten] rules of the series. But I guess it doesn't matter. As with Capcom, Konami wishes to be all like, "It's our series. We can make any changes we want". So the franchise can just have a common theme of being about supernatural events.

 

It’ll be interesting to find out. So far it just seems to be SH themed with no direct connection other than the name & similar theme of loss & overworld & underworld.

On a personal note our cat Felix died last week, he must’ve died in his sleep as we found him in the morning.

 

Yeah. I don't really bother with gaming forums anymore. I may just be on here and Biohaze when there is something new to post about. We seem to be going through a dry spell for updates, but it's basically the era of remakes now. They're even supposedly doing a RE1 remake and a movie, about STARS and 'the mansion incident' again. Which is just more of what I've been criticising the industry over: Rehashing the heyday of the genre instead of producing new games we want, like a Resident Evil: Revelations 3.

I find there's nothing left for me to say about RE games online, as I don't feel like they generally agree with what I say, or you don't want to ruffle any feathers on those sites. None of the sites I am a member of are really active now. Everyone likely moved on to things like X and YouTube. Which as we know, aren't as good.

Had you know who (James) spamming crap on forums again. One called Legal Junkies. That guy is a total attention whore. There is a thread I posted in 2021, I think it was, and he leaves guest spam all the time, hoping I will respond. I won't be replying to him again anywhere. Let him act stupid online all he wants, but it's pretty moronic when he's nearly 40.

Sorry to hear about your feline companion, Felix.

 

There’s nothing much happening on those forums anyway, rumours on RE9 mainly. SH forums discussing f & the steelbook available from Amazon but that’s all.

He comes across as a narcissist tbh who certainly craving attention & thrives on the abuse he gives out. Ignoring him is the best thing.

Thanks. It’s been a shock, we have a much older cat & we thought he’d be first to go.

 

I am thinking about purchasing Post Trauma this evening. It looks quite SH like.

I seldomly play games anymore. You should see what sealed copies of PS2 horror games cost on eBay. Some titles are just shy of £1000.

Yeah. RE is dormant for now, but the big summer gaming stuff will be getting underway soon.

 

I’ve looked at that one & have it in my wishlist. If you purchase let me know what you think of it.
They’re silly prices on eBay & I wonder how many sell at that price.

Bought a few games recently- Sherlock Holmes Chapter one & The Awakening. Alan Wake 2 in the sale & extended my PS+ with 25% off.

 

So, Post Trauma: my friend said it's a game that's basically Silent Hill's lovechild with Resident Evil's tank controls—and that If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to experience a fever dream while walking like a semi truck trying to parallel park, this game has your name written all over it. So please, by all means, if you pick this one up let me know if it's accurate. Because it sounds wild.

 

Dusk seems confident that RE9 will be at Summer Game Fest, going by comments made by associates of his. Since those rumours of it being open world with Jill co-starring may have been debunked, I think we can go in not really knowing what to expect from Capcom.

Even though I'm not daft on RE7, I feel like that game was at least a step in the right direction, in terms of survival horror being the focal point. I'm not especially fond of action oriented horror games like RE4. They aren't what I would label as being unenjoyable, but I prefer titles that can offer a good wee scare up. But the likes of RE4, 5, 6 and all that pish have no vibes of horror.

They may as well remake RE1 again, as the first remake is not in the newer (2019 onwards) style. So it probably would make sense. But it sounds as if RE0 has priority first. But they do things in a pretty weird order at Capcom HQ.

 

We now have RE Requiem/Re9iem which will take us back to Raccoon City & RPD. It looks interesting.
Tormented Souls 2 is getting a physical release & is due Oct I believe.
I may wait for a sale before buying Silent Hill f.

There is a suggestion that RE1 will be remade again but would it be worth it. If they add VR &/or first person mode or expand the game somehow with new rooms/places or it’s reasonably priced then yes.
Between 1 & Zero then I’d say 1 would be first to be remade.

Wenchie:
Will do.

 

When the first RE9 tease happened, I actually gave up and went to bed, not understanding the point of it. I did not find out until the next day that Capcom had actually shown it 10 minutes later. So I was like wow. LOL. What a troll move.

Leon is totally the main hero. Calling it now...

 

Double post.

Just... WOW!
