I know it’s bloober but combat can’t possibly be worse than original… right?

That would be hard to do, but I don't think it needs to be worse than the OG for the game to have depressed sales.
It just needs to suck relative to the current crop of horror games in the same space and people are going to be turned off.

Originally I thought Bloober would probably do fine considering their technical expertise.
The worst aspect of their games is story related, I thought because it's a remake, this would be curtailed.

But it sounds like Bloober is not enjoying the Konami partnership, that really doesn't inspire confidence.
I believe it has been at least 2 instances of the CEO saying negative things about Konami and they're working with them on this project. Considering this is Konami we're talking about, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Bloober is a crappy dev team cant blame the publisher for their incompetence.

If reviews are good I will first week. But this is definitely looking like wait for a sale because I do not trust the devs.

I've had this pre-order on lock down as soon as EB Games offered it here in North America.
Still, I am cautiously optimistic. If it ends up being a dud, I'll just return it.

From what little I saw of the combat, I think they made the mistake of the camera being way too close to James' back.
Like it seems very claustrophobic, and I don't know if Bloober knows if their in-game camera can handle angles.

Playing SH2 for the "combat' is entirely missing the point.

One of the best games of all time IMO.
Well I did it initially finish it myself because it was terrible to play. And yes, Inknow what this game is about. It’s nothing that surprising. I’ve seen the ending on yt :p
In the end you still play it.

Blooper gonna blooper, Konami could have got asobo to make it but went with these mediocre devs who are of the same standard as a microsoft studio

Why does every AAA game needs to be TPP over the shoulder. I just dont get It.
third person and over the shoulder is just saying the same thing twice. And it’s objectively the best format for console games. FPS games (that aren’t CoD/Halo) feel awful with a controller. I hope they continue to stick with 3rd person for console oriented games.

This one is going to suck, it has the Konami and Bloober stink all over it. Sony is stupid for getting involved with this and for pretending this is an important release.

SH2 deserved a lot more respect.

TPP doesnt have to be over the shoulder.
And SH2 was neither TPP, nor over the shoulder. Forcing It to be hurts the game. Dynamic camera angles were good.
