Bloober Team is rumored to be working on a new Silent Hill, possibly a Silent Hill 2 remake. Fans are upset. I believe that upset is understandable, because Bloober is a real problem.

8:55 I have been saying this since I was able to have conscious thought about the development of video games. “Just because you like to eat food doesn’t mean you’d make a great chef”
Before this video, I never knew who Bloober Team was. I miss 12 minutes ago when I still didn’t.
If i was anywhere near, i would never lose a Steph match
I have a few mental illness but I quite enjoy blooper games. I think they’re a good fit for this franchise. If it’s a remake then they’re writing doesn’t matter because those games were already written years ago.
Observer was and still is their best game in my opinion. The Medium is trash completly destroying any hope or faith in this studio for me.
I still think they could do a good job with remake of SH2. It felt like playing some walking simulator spin-off of SH while I played Medium. So I think they know how to make game that feels like SH. They should team up with the guys behind Tormented Souls for gameplay because it was the closest thing to old RE/SH I played in loooong time. They already have the story. So only thing they have to do is not change too much.
Observer was great and the Medium was pretty good as well.
hey…I liked the Silent Hill movie, as far as video game movies go.
There are no mental heath professionals in the UK, merely scam artists masquerading as professionals to string the mentally ill along whilst withholding any and all care that isn’t medication – even when medication is not the solution, cure, answer, or advised course of treatment.
Silent Hill 2 and Bloodborne being your favourite games is about the same as me.
I digress though, great video, Jim.
I can’t unsee “Boober Team.”
I heard the news originally and my brain told me “bluepoint” instead of “Bloober”, and I believed that was really good, and after realizing my error: _yikes_ man that’s not good.
~ENGAGEMENT!~
The issue with AAA horror is it often feels way too much ”produced”? For example, the Blair Witch Project movie was an indie movie with lots of good ideas and a very small budget they used very well and the simplicity of it was what made it so effective and realistic back then. The game, on the other hand, went full Hollywood on the plot and added a lot of unnecessary character plot points heavily dramatizing mental health and meanwhile the horror elements of the game themselves had no substance whatsoever. It’s like they tried so hard to make a ”deep” game they forgot is was supposed to be a horror game to begin with.
Meanwhile, The original Silent Hill 2 is terrifying to this day. It felt like a gritty deep dive into the troubled mind of a man with a dark past and the symbolism and vagueness of a lot of its concepts combined to the amazing ambience of the city are what made is so eerie and memorable. Even if they tried, I feel like big studios are just too out of touch to recreate that sort of experience and having a big budget and shiny graphics will never compensate for that sheer lack of vision.
Strong episode. Felt like a old school hardcore Jimquisition which reminds me why i a fan. Your love for Silent Hill 2 made the episode feel more personal and less cynical.
