Konami Wanted Even More Changes!

Story Highlight
  • Silent Hill 2 Remake has received plenty of new information recently.
  • According to Konami, this recreation stays very faithful to the original.
  • Konami developers wanted to change the game, but Bloober Team was against this approach.

Konami hopes to make a strong return to the horror genre with Silent Hill 2 Remake in October 2024. This highly anticipated revival is being led by Bloober Team, a studio known for titles like The Medium.

In a new interview, the publisher has shed more light on its process of re-creating an icon of the horror games genre. Konami states that it kept Silent Hill 2 Remake as close to the original as possible.

Why it matters: Various remakes have tried to change too much about their predecessors. Both approaches have worked in the past, but fans mostly prefer faithful recreations.

Interestingly, Silent Hill 2 Remake has been in the middle of controversy for changing various character designs.

According to Konami, older developers from its team wanted to change various elements of the remake. While the interview did not go into any specifics, Bloober Team insisted on keeping the re-release as close to the original as possible.

It was thanks to the opinions of Bloober Team, who are huge fans of the original that the remake is highly faithful to the original.

According to Konami, veteran developers don’t want to work on the same thing twice. Therefore, they were more inclined toward introducing new elements to this iconic horror title.

The developer then went on to praise Bloober Team, stating that Silent Hill 2 Remake would not have turned out as great without its assistance.

Recently, several new gameplay videos have been released for Silent Hill 2 Remake. Bloober Team seems to have kept changes to a minimum, adding mechanics like dodging to enhance the experience instead of completely transforming it.

Anyhow, going by the current discourse, the team likely made a wise choice. Given how upset fans have been at some current changes, even more differences would likely have further riled up Silent Hill enthusiasts.

Konami is said to be taking a similar approach to Metal Gear Solid 3, retaining most of the original’s strengths for the remake.
