SH2 was a fluke. They've had plenty of opportunities to prove themselves, and each time have failed.

Bloober still learning the most fundamental rule of good storytelling:
Show, don’t tell.
Jury’s still out on how much they’ve actually improved.

"You guys, we should just make our games good from now on."
You made one good remake. I'm rooting for you but coming out and saying you're done making shitty games is a little premature. Maybe make a new game that is good first before you say stuff like that. Or just make more good remakes, that works too.

Anyone who knows me knows well that I shit on 343i and Bloober whenever I can, but you know what, I'm down to give them chance here. It's not everyday that you get to see a studio develop and mature. Bloober team deserves the redemption that the Halo Studios can only of getting from me.

I’ll wait and see on that one.
SH2 remake turned out phenomenal but that’s because they had the blueprint for a masterpiece to build on.
Cronos makes me hopeful but not confident in a day one purchase because their other works aren’t all that.
Fingers crossed they are now hitting their stride. It took fromsoft a while to hit it but once they did they didn’t let up.
Could be the case for this studio too.

They could have just said they were increasing budgets from AA to AAA. It doesn't make their past stuff shitty. You can't even get to AAA without making the AA stuff for years and gaining experience.

Look at silent hill 2 hd remaster and tell me that copying someone work always produces great results...
Silent hill 2 remake is not the same game as sh2, it's based on similar concepts but completely different on level design and many mechanics. Compare that to demons souls remake that is 1:1 almost.

What games is Bloober throwing under the bus specifically whey they say they are tired of making shitty games? Interesting that they would throw all of their past work in the trash like that.
Kind of crazy to say something like that based on one (perceived) success.

Funny; but to be fair, I had a good time with The Observer and The Medium. Only problem with the both of them is that, aside from setting and atmosphere, gameplay is weak.
Haven't played Silent Hill 2 Remake, but if they took any lessons from that, it's that horror and gameplay go hand in hand. Especially if you want a game that people want to go back to, time and time again.

Its easy to say things and be confident after not fucking up a remake, but gotta see them receipts first. One thing is making a remake most of the creative work and game direction was already done and proven a success. Other thing is making your own game from scratch. I can trust Blobber to make good remakes, but i still need to see a good original game before start praising Blobber for they own games.

Iv been saying this for a few years now. A lot of these “journalists” have ulterior motives.

Really enjoyed Observer. Not a bad game at all, trippy as hell to boot.

It seems you don't realize that there are two types of shit: the one that is on cement and the one that is on soilIf you say so

Not really getting your argument there. Old games are shit?
A new version of an old game comes out so then it makes the old one shit?
Old games can't still be fun for some reason?
You personally think an old game is shit so therfore it is, actually, shit now?
Not getting it
Some of the best games I play You'd probably think are aged dog shit going by these standards

I haven’t been loving SH2 as much as it seems like a lot of people have (it’s great, but not outrageously so imo—8/10ish), but I have to say that their sound design is absolutely phenomenal. Seriously some of the best sound design of any horror game I’ve ever played, and that’s definitely been a huge part of why I’m enjoying it.

The Observer was honestly a good game. Not great, but not bad at all. They have the DNA to be a good dev.

Yeah, they clearly lacked budget before I think. What I don't get is why they are so much hated, maybe a lot of this comes from The Medium (time) exclusivity on Xbox? It was used in fanboy wars for a long time (before and after console launch), I don't think people were so negative about them before that.
The silent hill cycle is like the zelda cycle, SH4 The room got also a lot of shit for being to different (1st person parts, barely visiting silent hill, etc) and now is a cult classic too.

Yeah silent hill 2 remake was a masterpeice well, because its fucking silent hill 2. I look forward to other silent hill remakes they might do. their solo games not so much

Blooper has this thing about them where they think they are better than they are. It's weird and hard to explain. They make games between a 70 and 85 Metacritic wise. And they aren't gameplay heavy games. They tend to ride on story and atmosphere. And GAF aren't huge lovers of "those" types of games unless they are GREAT!
Many games, not just silent hill.
