“Okay, we’ve made some bad games before, but we can improve”, insists Silent Hill 2 Remake dev Bloober Team

Indie horror developer Bloober Team says it’s done making “shitty” games.

As Silent Hill 2 Remake enjoys near-universal acclaim from critics and fans, Bloober capitalized on the fervor by announcing an original sci-fi survival horror called Cronos: The New Dawn, insisting it has “evolved” and learned from previous mistakes.

“It was difficult those years before (Silent Hill 2) came out,” director/producer Jacek Zieba told Gamespot. “Now there is a very good atmosphere inside (the studio). We want to show what we can do alone, how we can evolve our ideas.”

“They recreated a legendary game,” said director/designer Wojciech Piejko of the different internal teams at Bloober who worked on the remake. “They made the impossible possible, and it was a bumpy road because of all the hate on the internet. The pressure was on them and they delivered, and for the company, it’s an incredible moment.”

“We want to be a horror company,” Zieba added. “We want to find our niche, and we think we’ve found our niche, so now we just… let’s evolve with it. And how that happens is more complex, but it also happens organically in a way, like with (2016) Layers of Fear, people at the studio said, ‘Okay, we’ve made some shitty games before, but (we can) evolve’.”

“We’ve brought together a team that loves horror,” Piejko added. “So I think for us it wouldn’t be easy to switch (to other genres) and we don’t want to do that.”

“Against all odds, Bloober Team has delivered a remake that expands Silent Hill 2 in all the right places and pays close attention to what it preserves,” I wrote in Eurogamer’s Silent Hill 2 Remake review, awarding the game an impressive five points. five stars in the process.

Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 has sold a total of 1 million copies across physical and digital media since its global release on October 8. This probably makes Silent Hill 2 Remake the best-selling Silent Hill game of all time.

It’s been almost two weeks since fans were welcomed back into Silent Hill, but there’s still no fix for a glitch that’s blocking some players’ progress at the end of the Brookhaven Hospital level in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
