Silent Hill Concept 'Leak' Denied by Bloober Team

Bloober Team has told IGN that recent speculation about a leak of an alleged Silent Hill game's concept is incorrect.

Thundercat771054d ago

I see the name Silent Hill and Bloober together and it saddens me 😔.

Is Silent Hill really this cursed?

Bobertt1054d ago

Lets just hope the other team working on Silent Hills is better or Kojima makes his own version with a different name.

Knightofelemia1054d ago (Edited 1054d ago )

Kojima making a horror game would be neat to see

CaptainHenry9161054d ago

I believe Kojima is working on his own game and it doesn't have nothing to do with Silent Hill

Rambokind1054d ago

I'm not sure why you're so pessimistic. Their development capabilities improved with each game. You may hate The Medium, but it does show what they can do given a proper budget and resources. If it does come to fruition, everyone will be pleasantly surprised.

MadLad1054d ago (Edited 1054d ago )

Yeah.
People around here are typically pretty harsh on Bloober, but I'm pretty sure a lot of it is because it was a timed exclusive on MS platforms. We know the ecosystem around here.
It wasn't game of the year material, but it was solid experience, and the overall reviews say as much.
But I think layers of fear and observer show that they can handle psychological, unnerving tone well.
They've never had a breakout hit, and the reviews for their catalogue are pretty consistently "good, but not amazing"; but they're also a still a medium, at best, sized dev team that self-published and always tried punching above their weight.

With solid financial backing behind them, which I hope they're getting, this may be that breakout for them.
If so, they may end up being the new team for the series.
I'd rather be optimistic and see them succeed, rather than expect them to fail.

I'm just happy to see more Silent Hill.

It’s because their games are average at best and a big title that many have waited a long time for goes to an at best average developer . MS or not I don’t buy their games to play them just for my collection of niche games . They mainly make below average to average horror games with no combat and that’s not what people want with Silent Hill . They have never shown they can make a great game with combat let alone a great game without combat . An average game they can make but that’s not going to make people happy , and who knows how they will do with combat .

P_Bomb1053d ago

Someone’s gotta do something. I’ve beaten both Layers + DLC, Blair Witch, will get through Medium eventually. You could pick worse devs honestly. This could be their big budget break.

gleepot1053d ago

Silent Hill has been bad since 4. Why do people want another one?

Knightofelemia1054d ago

Anybody can make SH concept art until Konami green lights it, announces it, and puts it on store shelves I don't believe it until I play the new SH game.

Metal: Hellsinger dev says he is against Game Pass after seeing how it affects sales

Founder of Metal: Hellsinger studio says he wasn't against Game Pass until their game launched on Microsoft's service, which affected game sales.

TheProfessional2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Why did PS copy gamepass if it's so terrible and unprofitable? PS Now was before gamepass but it was streaming trash that no one had any interest in.

And honestly the way the industry releases overpriced and broken games with day one season passes and dlc who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?

Only biased PS fans would defend paying more to a corporation rather than an option that's cheaper for the consumer overall. If it's from an indie studio that needs the sales that's different but games published by larger companies are fine on a subscription model. Also any of these devs who complain did decide to put their games on gamepass in thr first place.

ocelot071h ago

Ahhh yes the typical but but but Sony in a Microsoft article.

When did Sony copy Microsoft? I havent seen Sony's big day one titles such as God of war Ragnarok or GT7? Do you want to know why they are not on the service? Because people are still willing to PAY for the games. Sony has already admitted they lost millions putting Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank on PS+ Extra.

"larger companies are fine on a subscription model" Oh really? So why is all the cod games yet to be on it? Where is elden ring? Resident Evil 4 Remake? Street Fighter 6? Boulders Gate 3? Alan Wake 2? Where are they of gamepass is great and big publishers are fine putting newer games on it?

I'll tell you where they are. They are currently still selling for their respected publisher's. You know actually making them money. That money they can use to fund the next project.

who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?

I'm one of the millions who much rather pay $70 so fully support the publisher. Why do we do this? Well for starters I rather just pay for it rather than keep renting it each month. If we all just kept renting years ago blockbuster would still be around. Secondly, I rather we have AAA titles in 10 years time to enjoy. Rather than play mobile quality crap from a subscription.

Tell me how this is a good thing for gaming going forward. The last time I subbed to Gamepass was October 2023. During that one month subscription I played the newly released Starfield, Forza and a few other titles. All for the cost of about $7. Since then Microsoft have not released anything I want to try out or put anything on GP I want to try. So they last made $7 from me 8 months ago.

In the last 3 months. I have bought Sea of Thieves on PS5 (earning MS more money on that than my 1 month subscription to gamepass). Resident Evil 4 for £20 and Diablo 4 for £25 (again earning MS more buying this than buying a sub). Tell me how it's best for gaming I pay $7 and play the latest and greatest for a month. Rather than just buying what I want even if it means waiting a few months and getting it cheaper than full price yet earning the publisher more than renting said games of a monthly sub.

Sony has never released new titles day one. They experimented with Forbidden West which was fairly new and quickly discovered that it cannabalized sales. XBOX gamepass was always an act of desperation to remain relevant and in their desperation they effectively dug their grave where today everybody is biding their time for their formerly exclusive titles. In a nutshell GamePass made XBOX not relevant.

Skuletor2h ago

I feel no sympathy for the guy, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that putting your game on gamepass would affect sales.

dveio22m ago(Edited 21m ago)

The 'day-one' feature is the breaker or maker with GP, business-wise.

GP is no Netflix.

Because, from all the Marvel's Avengers to Sicarios, illustratively speaking, they all had their box office money. Before they had entered Netflix.

This concept shows you what Microsoft have actually put themselves into.

And what situation studios put themselves into if they go day-one into GP.

truthBombs22m ago

Why not sell your game the traditional way first? Then after about 6 months to a year put it on a sub service.

Day one on gamepass is a gamble. It works for some (Pal world) and not for others.

Is there even one good game created in the Turkey so far?

PitbullMonster23h ago

Metin 1&2 and the Mount and Blade Series are the most known ones.

Metin ....how dare you name that in the same sentence with the word "good"

Crytek says hi.. learn before posting

Zeke6819h ago

"Crytek was founded by the Turkish-German brothers Cevat, Avni and Faruk Yerli in September 1999 in Coburg, Germany."

So he's right, Crysis games are not made IN Turkey... ;)

Terry_B15h ago

Just as Zeke mentioned..Crytek is a German developer, created by a turkish guy who lives there, was probably born there.

What I meant are games completely made in the country

What is turkish mythology? They don't have a mythology of their own. Unless we are going to rewrite history? Can someone fill us in on what mythology turkey has.

Eonjay13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

It could mean folklore, proverb, or even fairytale like Jack and the magic beanstalk. It could even just be lore about historical figures like you even see in American culture like Jonny Appleseed (a real person whose life story was mythologized).

S2Killinit13h ago

I see. I was thinking in terms of actual deities. But that makes sense.

purple10110h ago

You know that thing called google. (Or DuckDuckGo, depending on preference 😏)

Have a go at it sometime. It’s good

I truly hope so.. day one buy

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga1d 22h ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear211d 16h ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan1d 12h ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop1d 9h ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

It’ll be monetized to all hell, regardless

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
