No more exclusives for anyone until after Xbox buy all the publishers in the world.

Do we know whether the trailer was real-time or pre-rendered?

Can't really tell with the only source available being 1080p for the moment.

This looks visually solid imo. Curious why they did skip over remaking the first game though.

Damn some people on Gaf are really down on Bloober Team. lol was The Medium that bad?
The foundation is pretty much set for them already. They would have to go out of their way to fuck this up tbh.

It looks pretty good. Bloober has a talent for creating dark, oppressive atmospheres which should work well for this game. Not so much character animations and such so hopefully those have improved. I'm not too worried about combat, since SH combat shouldn't be fluid and polished anyway.

The Medium is completely fine. It was just on Xbox first so its shit. Its a AA horror game with dual dimensions, a post-communist / Poland setting thats interesting, Yamaoka OST and Troy Baker doing really solid villain voice work. A solid 7 or 8 for horror game fans. Really no obvious flaws in the game, just AA budget.

Watching in 4K now, it seems real time. Nothing too out of reach really, but the James close up facial animation was pretty good.

Never played The Medium, but Blair Witch was pretty good. Agreed that people seem to be jumping to conclusions especially when I distinctly remember lots of people on this forum defending The Medium well before this announcement, so this sudden shift to “they’ll 100% fuck it up” seems fishy.

Trailer looked good, promising, etc. etc. One thing I disliked was the awful voice acting, about as flat and uninspired in the delivery in all lines as that girl with one leg in La Brea.

Their entire catalog is just a bunch of incredibly mediocre horror walking sims which is why people are down on them. Maybe Konami will help them make a good video game for a change? Similar to what Nintendo did with MercurySteam and Metroid. I’m not holding my breath though. I expect another mediocre game from Bloober, only this time one that gets propped up by the Silent Hill name.

Shit looks so whack, Jame's character model is horrendous, they have no idea or deliberately completly avoided the original aesthetics.

And Bloober making it gives me very little hope.
Oh well, at least is going to give something to the people that are starving for something with the name slapped on.
At least graphics looks good i guess, if some of that was gameplay.

I know alot of us here seem to be SH fans and Im glad theyre remaking the only one I remember?

The fog in town, the knee bent nurses at the hospital and pyramid head on the rooftop right?
 
That looks really good. I never finished any SH. I tried SH1 on PS1 back in the day, and SH2 on PC, but the gameplay was so bad lol.

I thought the trailer looked quite good. What concerns me the most is the combat. Yeah SH2 didn’t have the best combat, but to my knowledge these guys have never made a game with combat before.
Blair Witch had basic combat iirc. You’d aim your camera at ghosts or something to make them go away. It was really shit.
