He adds, "In fact, we've been working for more than a year on another gaming project, another horror IP, and we're doing this with a very famous gaming publisher. I can't tell you who. I can't tell you what the project is, but I'm pretty sure when people realize we're working on it, they will be very excited."

Bloober Team adding action to its psychological horror focus

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno can identify two turning points in the Polish developer's history.As he explains to Game…

The Medium is "a project on the edge" for Bloober Team, straddling the company's old approach and its new one. Babieno says the studio plans to make "advanced AA games with AAA quality of graphics and animation, but of course a little bit smaller."

He adds, "In fact, we've been working for more than a year on another gaming project, another horror IP, and we're doing this with a very famous gaming publisher. I can't tell you who. I can't tell you what the project is, but I'm pretty sure when people realize we're working on it, they will be very excited."

I would be happy for Konami. They are still my favorite Japanese game publisher. Hopefully they develop and publish more singleplayer games.

I can't think of what it could be other than Silent Hil. What other famous horror franchises are there?

The have never done combat and they seem to struggle to make a game perform well. If they are working on Silent Hill in don't think it will be any better than the other Silent Hill games from Western devs. The franchise has been dead since after 4 as far as I'm concerned.

What other horror IPs are there from big publishers...? Unless it's just funding a new IP.

I mean, the best Silent Hill games were kind of jankfests.
I mean, they're closer to Climax Studio polish than Team Silent's.

If there's anything they don't lack is the POLISH.
Well true lol

I mean that's a budget issue, they'd def have a higher budget with an IP like that.
Well, I don't know, it's not like Konami is giving millions away for their IPs.

I have my doubts, but after all the Silent Hill madness, for it to turn out to be Bloober Team would be kinda hilarious.

I say this as someone who has mostly enjoyed their stuff that I've played

why what's wrong with Bloober?

The studio themselves are pretty decent for an AA studio, but their games are very much designed for the modern industry. No combat, puzzles that are either really simple or giving you icons to know what to do as soon as you enter a room, and various pacing issues with story and all that. Given the time and budget I'm sure they could come up with something great, but I doubt anyone would say they have made a 'great' game so far.

I really hope it's not them that are working on the new Silent Hill (if it even exists). A Silent Hill revival deserves more than a developer that routinely pushes out 7/10 games.

I really don't get this forums fascination with silent hill. Is it because of PT? Was it anything more than a game in R.E's shadow before the Kojima tease of PT?

why can't this just be another horror game that's not silent hill?

I've only played Blair Witch and that game sucked and had subtle storytelling akin to the very hungry caterpillar. literally baby's first SH2 clone-tier plot.

I'd rather Silent Hill stay dead tbh.

They only know one type of horror: walking sims with jumpscares. Also, they suck at it and are creatively bankrupt. Also, they're western. Also, they have never risen above mediocrity and for the return of a classic franchise, we need a heavy lifters who know what the fuck they're doing.

Bloober will eventually have their breakthrough. The amount of games they done so far (all mediocre at best imo) must have been enough warm up. Maybe a "famous" publisher can give them the guidance they need to finally release a decent horror game
