Konami & Bloober's Silent Hill 2 Remake Gameplay Trailer Gets Brutally Criticized Online

From Silent Hill 2 Remake's gameplay trailer looking sorta rough, to Silent Hill: The Short Message seeing mixed to negative reception, to Silent Hill: Ascencion being a complete travesty, the Silent Hill series's return is off to a rough start. I really hope Silent Hill 2 Remake exceeds expectations when it launches and Silent Hill f ends up knocking it out of the park.

Konami is the best videogame company ever….at bastardizing their franchises.

I remembered the last time Konami "remastered" silent hill 2 and had to try and basically remake huge chunks of the game by scratch cause they just lost the code. It was not a good remaster.

The enemy „grabbing“ you in the QTE doesn’t even have arms 😂

I didn't know S in Leon S. Kennedy was Sunderland.

I long for a day that we stop asking for remasters and remakes and start asking for the originals to be made easily accessible.

The old Konami we grew up with is dead....

I'm still pissed that I'm still waiting for a Silent Hill 1 remake to no prevail.

So, speaking from experience, what likely happened here is this: - Konami tells Dev they want to have a trailer out by such and such a date - Dev has to have a stable build for them to use for recording several months in advance of the trailer's release - Combat is likely being fleshed out last, therefore the stable build Konami used for recording trailer footage was meant for showing environment and light character interaction - Konami, not knowing how to handle their own IPs 99% of the time, focused on the one thing they shouldn't have for the trailer The statement from the dev screams that of one frustrated that Konami just showcased a ton of early, stand in animations instead of the things with much more polish and development time put into them.

As long as Konami still has it's grubby mitts on the Silent Hill franchise, we'll never get the remake we want.

Bloobers probably meant that all the action in the 1 minute trailer is probably spread out sporadically throughout the 12 hours of game play. Not nearly as action heavy as the trailer makes it out to be.

Modern trends ruining old games when someone tries to remake them.

I will give a benefit of a doubt that somebody from the Marketing company made an "action cut" with lots of shooting while the game itself might have low resources ammunition and the smarter thing to do would be to avoid combat as much as possible (and that might be the reason why the animations are not up to par with with some more action oriented games). Duncan Jones director of the Warcraft movie hated the last trailer for the movie because the marketing team added electronic music to it. Also remember how Suicide Squad movie was COMPLETELY changed because the trailer was fun and featured Bohemian Rhapsody so they re-shot and re-edited the movie and remove a lot of darker scenes because of the studio decided that a screwed over the Director? I can see this as a case of marketing department not knowing what made the original special.

Well, some of us never had faith to begin with I mean, it IS konami

The original silent 2 had a similar trailer showcasing the more action parts. Im more worried about how the animations look at this stage in the development

Never give Konami the benefit of the doubt. Comboing with Bloober, I'm not sure why anyone thought this would do justice to the original.

Clearly what the guy is saying is that the trailer focuses too much on combat to try to make it look fast and epic, while in reality what they're creating is trying to be more in line with the original game, meaning more atmospheric, slow, and like you mentioned, oppressing. Whether it's for film or games, it's 100% possible to cut a trailer that is completely misleading in genre, tone, and even quality.

Who the hell is honestly surprised

why the focus on qte? that was in the game when you get grab sometimes and you see it only once in the trailer

I remember reading a comment, when the trailer came out, that said according to DuskGolem, a relatively reliable source of SH info, the footage for the trailer is from an OLD build. I haven't found the tweet itself, but I don't know whether to hope it's false or not, because if it's true, then that means KoNOmi didn't care enough to give us recent footage, and if it's false and this footage is from a build close to being ready to release.....
