Bloober Team, it's fair to say, is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people like what they do quite a lot, and others, well, not so much. So when Konami announced the Silent Hill 2 remake in 2022, and that Bloober was making it, the reaction was not universally enthusiastic. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno acknowledged the apprehension but said the studio has come a long way over the years and expressed hope that fans will "give us a chance" to prove what it can do.
Some of the concerns about the Silent Hill 2 remake are the result of Konami's less-than-stellar record with the series in recent years. The Twitch Plays-style episodic series Silent Hill Ascension, for instance, was "a complete disaster" in the words of staff writer Harvey Randall, and so poorly written some viewers assumed it had to scripted by AI, even though the head of the production company responsible for it insisted that wasn't the case.
