Bloober Team had to convince Konami to release Silent Hill 2 on PC. "At the beginning, we had to push Konami very hard to focus on PC. For them the main market is PlayStation, but looking at the interest on the Steam platform, it seems that it should also be a successful launch

Koonami had the right idea, is Cory Barlog and the Bloober CEO best friends?

 

[ethomaz]

Developers are they own enemies lol

Konami still stuck in the 90s... Only vanillaware keeps that archaic mindset.

Hats off to you bobber team!

Silent Hill 1 should have been remade first.

Konami does know PC and Xbox are one of the same coin. Both useless platforms.

Yeah always found it weird of Cory asking for PC

Maybe you start talking after receiving good reviews and week 1 sales, All this will seem like bluster and a 15 sec pump and dump if the game receives middling reviews and no one buys it.

Bloober are very lucky that they have the greatness of Yamaoka to shoulder their mediocrity

Did they also cover the sexy nurses? PC folk will love pirating the game, that's for sure.

We will see how it will sell on Steam day one. Should be no excuses if CCU will be low

PC and sell well doesn’t fit in one sentence.
SH2R will expected have low numbers.
It will be then like: “Uuh stupid Konami bad at optimising”

So it could've been 100% focused on the playstation 5 hardware resulting in a more polished game but bloober decided to stick there nose in to add extra hardware to optimize for

Yeah it'll be cracked day one most likely pirates will be able to play it earlier than standard edition players since the deluxe edition gets 48 hour early access

Cool! Thanks Bloober Team! Looking forward to seeing if this holds up to the original!
I'm glad to hear they have an amicable relationship with Konami; here's hoping the Silent Hill 2 Remake itself is good, because the original is stellar

Konami usually puts denuvo in their games. So silent Hill 2 won't be pirated until they remove it.

There will be bigger interest on Torrent sites.

Plenty of denuvo games get cracked , hogwarts legacy has it & empress cracked that one 12 says after it released lol

All the people cracking denuvo games actually quit doing that
There's no one cracking Denuvo games anymore. One got arrested, while empress is on hiatus

 

[CrackmanNL]

Obviously means more work and cash for Blooper. While for Konami they had the PS5 version partially funded by Sony.
Hopefully it does well on both platforms cause I want Konami back in the game, if it bombs on PC at least Blooper will get another beating with a stick and I will join.

So they didn’t stop out of choice.

They would continue doing it if the arrest didn’t happen.
