Don't have a proper thread for this I don't think, so I'll clean this up later. 

Today's combat reveal trailer:

Can't say that making an action combat focused trailer for Silent Hill 2 of all things was the best choice...

The last thing people want is to see Bloober attempt to turn SH2 into RE4.

Trailer from last night's State of Play, which announced the game's release date of 8th October 2024:

Happy Halloween and Spooky Season!

Some for the game have gone up, and they seem surprisingly positive? Main takeaway seems to be that it captures the atmosphere of the original well, but retains some of its more archaic elements (even with the updated combat) and so is a fairly faithful remake? 

In addition to the new story trailer, Japan also got some new gameplay:

Seems I might need to keep a bit of a closer eye on this one than I had been intending to...

It looks as if Bloober Team has added more to the game, while keeping it faithful to the source material. I like how you can explore the town. 🫣

So far, everything seems okay, if a little stiff in terms of Maria not moving around much in the cell. The original game does that scene in a more erotic way.

Even so, the pro Kojima fans aren't going to be forgetting about 2015 at any point soon. 

I blooming hate typos. 😑

So, uh, to most people's surprise (including my own), reviews for the game have dropped and it has been received really well!

Currently at 87 on Metacritic and 86 on OpenCritic:

Some reviews and impressions:

Kudos to Bloober and Konami! 

Very curious to see where the consensus lies after the fog has cleared on whether newcomers should play this or the original.

Bloober Team, the Polish masters of horror, and the Japanese giant Konami Digital Entertainment (KONAMI) are continuing their partnership, announcing the signing of a new agreement for a joint project. Following the massive success of the remake of one of the most highly anticipated psychological horror games—SILENT HILL 2—the developers are now focusing on a new game based on KONAMI's IP. 

Guess we're getting either SH1 and SH3 remakes coming at some point, or an original Bloober-made Silent Hill.

This may sound unpopular, but I have more faith now in Bloober Team for Silent Hill projects than Capcom does with their RE games, and not just remakes. I just mean as a whole.

RE has been going downhill for ages. But whatever. I don't feel like bashing Capcom, except I will say this...

RE8 was really dumb. It was like RE4 meets Dracula meets, a bunch of other stuff.
