Konami and developer Bloober Team released the official Story trailer for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake. The trailer breaks down the game’s story, highlighting several characters. Additionally, several media outlets have released their hands-on previews of the game, revealing many details in the process. PlayStation Blog highlights the game’s over-the-shoulder perspective and more explorable buildings, some of which players will need to break the windows to get into. Additionally, the game’s layout has changed with enemies, items, and puzzles now in different locations. Lastly, the article reveals that the game will have a separate difficulty setting for players to focus on just the story. Silent Hill 2 will launch on October 8 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
The game’s details:
Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill. There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her…
“My name…is Maria,” the woman smiles. Her face, her voice… She’s just like her.
Experience a master-class in psychological survival horror—lauded as the best in the series—on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.
Key Features
High-end Graphics and Sound – With ray tracing and other cutting-edge technical enhancements, the world of Silent Hill and its unsettling ambiance is even realer than before. And with the inclusion of new, immersive soundscapes, you’ll feel like you’re standing in the thick of it. Larger Environments – Explore locations and buildings that were once inaccessible, or are newly added in the remake.
Enjoy the same acclaimed story, even while you experience the town of Silent Hill with fresh eyes across an expanded map. Over-the-Shoulder Camera – The remake moves from the original’s fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience as you explore the town and come face-to-face with monsters. Evolved Combat Gameplay – Familiar weapons like the steel pipe and handgun make their return, but now with an updated combat system. Avoid attacks with carefully timed dodges, aim down sights, and more, making monster encounters more engaging and nerve-wracking then ever.
McDonald’s has managed the difficult task of "mixing friend groups together" to release a series of Happy Meal toys that are Sanrio mascot characters dressed up as Yu-Gi-Oh monsters. You’ll be able to get them for a limited time, but stores in the USA are missing a particular doll.

McDonald’s has managed the difficult task of "mixing friend groups together" to release a series of Happy Meal toys that are Sanrio mascot characters dressed up as Yu-Gi-Oh monsters. You’ll be able to get them for a limited time, but stores in the USA are missing a particular doll.
Here is a commercial for the McDonald’s Yu-Gi-Oh and Sanrio Happy Meal toys:
It shows the Sanrio mascots and the Yu-Gi-Oh monsters hanging out on separate sides of the park. But when a kid grabs a Happy Meal box and starts skipping down the road with it, we see how she inadvertently shakes up their world and cause them to combine. The official Yu-Gi-Oh X (Twitter) account credits Guillaume Huin, a senior marketing director at McDonald’s, for the commercial.
The combination for Sanrio and Yu-Gi-Oh monsters are:
The Yu-Gi-Oh monsters that are part of this crossover all played important roles in the original Duel Monsters cartoons. Over the years, they've been featured in different kinds of goods, such as model kits or figures. As a note, other countries like Japan and Taiwan were able to get these toys earlier this year. Their selection featured the Badtz-Maru wearing the Red-Eyes Black Dragon doll though. So it's unclear why the McDonald's in the United States won't offer that one.
You can get Happy Meal toys of Sanrio mascots wearing Yu-Gi-Oh monster outfits for a limited time from McDonald’s.

This is a preview build so may not be exactly the same as the final game, and the video focuses on the new features that are found in the game, as well as a decent look at combat which has also been enhanced. Just a quick note, the English captions are auto generated from the Japanese so they’re not perfect.
In development by Bloober Team, Silent Hill 2 is a big step up for the studio, but one that absolutely makes sense. They’re best known for their work on psychological horror games like Layers of Fear, Observer and The Medium. That experience will be vital when updating a game made and designed for the limitations of the PlayStation 2 hardware in 2001.
In terms of the core gameplay, Silent Hill 2 will most noticeably be transformed by a shift away from fixed cameras and tank controls to over-the-shoulder and a more modern control scheme, similar to the treatment that Capcom gave to their Resident Evil remakes.
Of course, there’s also a massive leap forward graphically, with Bloober Team tapping into Unreal Engine 5 and all the cutting edge technology that this features like Lumen for realistic lighting effects and Nanite for exceptionally detailed 3D modelling and texturing.
It had been a while since Silent Hill 2 was first announced back in 2022 – of course, it had been heavily rumoured for a good long time before then – but true to their word, it seems that development had been progressing smoothly in the time since then.
Silent Hill 2 will be released on 8th October 2024 for PC and PlayStation 5.

Silent Hill has a messy, up-is-down relationship with time and history, so let's go about this hands-on with the Silent Hill 2 Remake in a messy, up-is-down way. Developed well over two decades ago, the original Silent Hill 2 is the magnum opus of Polish horror stalwarts Bloober Team. Running on then-innovative "Unreal Engine 5" technology created by Jazz Jackrabbit publishers Epic MegaGames, it's a wonderful abyss of a game that remains perfectly playable today, given a certain amount of tolerance for the quirks of the era.
It begins with your character, James Sunderland, descending from the road towards the eponymous Midwestern nowhere-town. Like many games of the period, Silent Hill 2 uses a third-person, over-the-shoulder manual camera, which allows you to glance fearfully up at the monstrous pine trees that fringe the path - each rising from a bulging tide of fog that menaces with the suggestion of approaching figures. There is moisture everywhere, gushing from drain pipes and dribbling down concrete barriers. As you amble into the murk, deathly chords and groaning, unmechanical motifs reverberate from somewhere deep underground.
When Bloober and Konami announced that they were remaking Silent Hill 2 as part of a comprehensive series reboot, it made immediate if slightly deflating sense to me.

Silent Hill 2 is the more feted of the Hills - if I were a calculating franchise custodian tasked with 'bringing back' one of the acclaimed original trilogy, that's probably the instalment I and my spreadsheets would fix upon. I mean, it's the game with Pyramid Head in it - the nearest thing Silent Hill has to a mascot, and it's not like there's an issue of cutting out plot material: each game in the Silent Hill series is, on some level, a distinct story with a distinct protagonist.
Still, the decision to 'skip' the first game in the series, whose world, narrative themes, music and art direction set the parameters for all the rest, made my brain itch a bit, and when I ran into Bloober's creative director Mateusz Lenart and lead producer Maciej Głomb at a Konami event, I had to ask about it.

Whisper it quietly, but Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater looks like the most exciting Konami project in years. The trailer shown at this year's Xbox Games Showcase contains just over two minutes of tightly edited in-engine footage, but it answers a lot of questions about the direction of the project - with more details provided in an interview between Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter and producer Noriaki Okamura. At its heart, Delta looks to offer extensive reworks to visuals, controls and camera, using Unreal Engine 5, alongside slavishly faithful recreation of the level design and cutscene direction of the PS2 original.
Of course, we've seen Metal Gear Solid 3 polished up in Bluepoint's excellent HD Collection back on PS3 and Xbox 360 - a build that's also been re-used in the recent Master Collection to mixed reviews. But this remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta, is a more ambitious beast. It's shaping up to be a genuine effort to give series fans the best way to play the game. The big question is this: how does the footage we have so far compare to the original via the HD Collection? What's changed, and what stays intact?
While Metal Gear Solid Delta's release date is still unannounced, we do know it's set for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam - and with that being the case, there's no telling what platform we're precisely seeing in the trailer. It could be a mixture of formats, though the smart money is on an early PC build. Practically every shot I've pixel counted shows a crisp native 4K image, a true 3840x2160 with dynamic resolution scaling deployed only rarely. Next there's the frame-rate situation. Oddly enough, the trailer is only presented on YouTube as a 30fps encode, but hopefully that is a limitation of the capture - we'd expect to see a full 60fps in the final product, as we got with the HD Collection before it.

The Metal Gear Solid 2 Solid Snake figma wears his original uniform, just like the first version of the figure. His face plate is a stern, stoic expression in the example photo. He’s also holding the tranquilizer that he came with originally. It does seem like the bodysuit is a different shade than the original version of the figma. Also, the paint job on the face seems a bit different and more in line with other recent releases.
To compare, here’s how the original 2018 version of the Metal Gear Solid 2 Solid figure looked. The additional accessories also included an assault rifle and a cardboard box. Some of the hand parts would even allow the figma to be posed as though it is hanging from a shelf or table.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is available on the PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, Vita, Switch, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Series X, Windows PC via various collections, and the Solid Snake figma will return in the future.

Producent Noriaki Okamura sice v nové epizodě oficiálního Xbox Podcastu s hlubokým ponorem neprozradil okno vydání, nastínil však několik dalších detailů a změn.
V remaku se například objevují zvukové linie z původní hry, ale Konami znovu nahrálo některé hlášky s původními herci, aby hráče naučilo ovládání. Protože zvuk nevyžaduje tak velkou kompresi, jsou představení také kvalitnější a k dispozici je více možností, například 7.1kanálový zvuk.
„Nespočet“ vylepšení a aktualizací se dočkaly modely postav, takže se vyrovnají těm z Metal Gear Solid 5. Využito bylo také snímání obličeje, ale mnoho výrazů je ručně doladěno, aby bylo dosaženo požadovaného výsledku. A konečně, pro ty, kteří touží po vzhledu originálu, je přiložen vizuální filtr pro stejný vzhled.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater vychází na konzole Xbox Series X/S, PS5 a PC.
Společnost Konami nabídla další pohled na Metal Gear Solid Delta: Ačkoli společnost v té době neoznámila datum vydání, je možné, že došlo k úniku informací.
Společnost GameStop nedávno na Twitteru zveřejnila tweet, v němž hráče vyzývá, aby si hru začali předobjednávat. V tomto tweetu prodejce také uvádí, že remake vyjde 17. listopadu – což ovšem samotná společnost Konami zatím neoznámila.

Zajímavé je, že nedávno úniky tvrdily, že Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater mohl být interně odložen až na rok 2025. Vzhledem k tomu, že Konami má v říjnu vydat remake Silent Hill 2, uvedení dalšího velkého remaku na trh v roce 2025 by jistě dávalo smysl, i když se teprve uvidí, zda společnost místo toho oficiálně potvrdí datum, které podle všeho uniklo z GameStopu.
Nedávno se také objevila spousta dalších nových podrobností o remaku. Kromě možností moderních i klasických schémat ovládání a možností kamery bude přepracovaný systém poškození ve hře také dynamicky způsobovat trvalé jizvy na těle Naked Snakea, jak budou hráči postupovat příběhem.

Společnost Konami odhalila různé edice, které budou k dispozici pro fyzické vydání hry Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Fyzické vydání hry, které bude k dispozici pouze pro PS5 a Xbox Series X/S, bude podle nabídky na Amazonu k dispozici ve standardní a sběratelské edici.
Zatímco standardní edice hry Metal Gear Solid Delta: Sběratelská edice bude obsahovat pouze hru, ale sběratelská edice bude obsahovat řadu drobností, včetně nášivky HALO jump, nášivky FOX, dioramatu terária, kovového pouzdra na hru, šňůrky na Snakeovu identifikační kartu a sběratelské krabice, ve které budou všechny věci uloženy.

Až bude Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater uveden na trh, bude k dispozici na PS5, Xboxu řady X/S a PC.
Konami provided a fresh look at Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater at tonight's Xbox Games Showcase.
After snippets at previous showcases, this new trailer showed off plenty of gameplay of the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake.
However, there's still no release date. Take a look at the trailer below.

In an interview with Famitsu, Silent Hill 2 Remake producer Motoi Okamoto – who joined Konami in 2019 to revive the dormant horror series – discussed how Konami and the original developers worked alongside Bloober to find the right "balance" between remaking and reimagining the revered game.
"The Japanese staff who worked on the original version said, 'I want to change this'. But on the other hand, Bloober Team had a lot of opinions like, 'No, I don't want to change this!'" Okamoto said, as translated by Google.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater je ve vývoji pro PS5, Xbox Series X/S a PC. Konami zatím neoznámilo datum vydání, ale nedávné zprávy tvrdily, že hra byla možná interně odložena až na rok 2025.
The Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake - aka Metal Gear Solid Delta - resurfaced during tonight’s Xbox Games Showcase. We still don’t have a release date, despite signs we might see the remake of the 2004 game this year, but we did get a pretty good look at a bunch of key moments from the original remade in the shiny Unreal Engine 5 do-over - including a look at The Boss and the familiar gravelly tones of Snake actor David Hayter.

In a now deleted tweet, GameStop potentially revealed the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater, which could be on November 17, 2024. As the tweet, which included a trailer, is now gone, this seems to have been an accidental reveal on the part of the GameStop Twitter account’s administrator. [Thanks, Wario64!]

The tweet also included a link to pre-order it. Unless there are any hiccups in the development process, which could lead to a delay, it seems that Konami will release the game later this year. You can watch the announcement trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater here:

Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater will be a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It follows Naked Snake, a FOX operative, whose mission is to sabotage a Soviet nuclear superweapon during the Cold War. Most of the main gameplay mechanics from the original game remain, but there will be some new additions from the latter entries. For example, you’ll be able to walk while crouching. A new mechanic also focuses on recording the player’s individual journey in the game. Physical injuries Snake sustains will remain on him as scars for the rest of the playthrough.
Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater will come out on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. If the GameStop Tweet was accurate, then the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater will be November 17, 2024.
Konami revealed the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector’s Edition, and it actually allows someone to bring Snake home in a small terrarium. Pre-orders opened on June 10, 2024.

To start, there are fox and Halo Jump patches. Both feature iconography from the game. People also get Snake’s ID card lanyard. It makes it look like he’s a scientist heading into Groznyj Grad Northeast. The aforementioned terrarium has him beside a tree, attempting to get his backpack down from a branch. Finally, there’s a metal case to hold someone’s copy of the game.
Here’s how all that looks:

Konami also noted there will be a Tactical Edition for people to potentially pick up. That includes digital bonuses and the game. There’s no price set for it yet.
Since Summer Game Fest 2024, Konami revealed a number of details about the game. For example, we learned more about the camera system. There was also a new gameplay trailer that let us see more of Snake.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in 2024.
After the reveal of a new gameplay trailer during the Xbox Game Showcase 2024, Konami offered new details about the Battle Damage system as well as the new camera modes available in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

After the reveal of a new gameplay trailer during the Xbox Game Showcase 2024, Konami offered new details about the Battle Damage system as well as the new camera modes available in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
The new information appeared in the official website for the game, and it goes over how the Battle Damage system will now affect Naked Snake’s clothes with wear and tear as players advance in the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater. Similarly, any injuries Snake receives will leave different permanent scars and marks on his body once healed.
Regarding the camera system, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will allow players to use a new third-person view. This camera system is similar to the one introduced in the Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D version of the game that appeared on the Nintendo 3DS. Additionally, an overhead view legacy style will be available as well. At the time of writing, it is unclear if you can swap between both camera systems on the go.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is currently in development for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The original version of the game is available as part of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, which is readily available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

First up, we got a long-awaited look at Concord, Firewalk's upcoming PvP shooter, both in the form of a cinematic vignette and a proper gameplay trailer (embedded below). Big Guardians of the Galaxy energy, this one. Lots of big guns, lots of colourful moons and planets, and a very chatty cast. Could this be the perfect second course after Helldivers earlier this year? We'll find out when it launches on PS5 and PC on August 23rd 2024.

The new trailer revealed during the PlayStation broadcast includes scenes with Angela and the Otherworld.
Next up, Bloober Team Creative Director Mateusz Lenart talks through new gameplay and narrative details for Silent Hill 2.
Silent Hill 2 Remake – What to expect
The original Silent Hill 2 ignited our imaginations. When we set out to create the remake, our main goal was to recapture that same spark by fully fleshing out Team Silent’s original vision using cutting-edge technology.
So how exactly does our remake compare to Konami’s original game? Let’s take a closer look under the hood to find out from the point of narrative and gameplay.
Narrative and gameplay
Story and characters
Silent Hill 2 is known for its gripping and multilayered storytelling, and that’s something we wanted to preserve in the remake. The setting of some events may change, but their impact on the story will remain the same. Even when new locations are introduced, we’ve sought to refer to the original whenever possible so that returning players will feel right at home when they venture out into the foggy streets of Silent Hill again.
The central characters from the original story, James and Maria, are at the heart of our remake as well. Their emotional arcs have been preserved, with great care being given to showcasing their emotions with motion capture technology. This allows us to employ “show, don’t tell” techniques more often, which is why some of the dialogue has been slightly altered to add an extra layer of nuance to the character dynamics.
As many fans are already aware, we did not use the original voices to create the remake. This was due to many factors, both creative and technical. Relying solely on preexisting dialogue would’ve been limiting and would mean that many gameplay improvements, such as player guidance, could not be introduced. Instead, we’ve decided to employ an all-new cast of voice actors who’ve brought their A-game to channel the performances of the original game. We believe that Luke Roberts and Salóme Gunnarsdóttir were born to play James and Maria, respectively, and both have approached their roles with the kind of care and nuance that the original characters deserve.
Camera and combat
Overall, we wanted players to feel more in control of James in our remake, while maintaining the pervasive feeling of dread that characterizes the original. Therefore, we decided to go with an over-the-shoulder camera that supports greater gameplay immersion and the feeling of being in the game’s space.
However, this does not mean that we are changing the style of the game itself. Players will still be afraid to venture out into the fog, where limited visibility provides ample cover for a variety of monsters lurking outside the player’s field of vision. Meanwhile, James’ radio builds tension and creates a sense of uncertainty about what is out there, waiting for them in the dark, and also provides helpful audio cues for players to base their movements on.
The combat in this remake is designed to allow for a wider variety of approaches – the player’s arsenal of actions has been expanded, while also preserving the feeling of playing as an inexperienced everyman. James is not a skilled fighter and he doesn’t feel overpowered. His range of attacks is very limited, so he must use more prudent tactics, stay mindful of his surroundings and, if necessary, run instead of fighting. The way he deals with enemies is never a flashy spectacle, but rather a desperate struggle for survival.
Giving James more opportunities led to changes in how the enemies he encounters fight as well. He will still have to deal with familiar opponents from the original game, but returning players will notice how their movements and attacks have been fleshed out in order to make them more distinctive and unpredictable in combat scenarios. For instance, going against the frantically aggressive Nurse will pose a completely different challenge than a skirmish with the silent and stealthy Mannequin.
Puzzles
The puzzles in the game have been slightly altered to present a new spin on their original designs, but still maintain their eerie connection to the game’s overall theme and narrative. We’ve taken great care to build upon the memory of the original Silent Hill 2 by sometimes twisting and confounding player’s expectations with regards to certain puzzle solutions, in a kind of a tribute to the inventiveness and playfulness of the original game.
We believe that this approach, alongside the numerous and often surprising references to the original present in the game, will bring joy to fans of the classic Silent Hill 2, while at the same time offering them something new and interesting to solve. We like to think of it as our way of expressing love for the original game – by enriching the experience, while still being mindful of preserving its essence.
Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition details
The deluxe edition includes various DLCs, such as a digital artbook full of concept art for the town of Silent Hill and its monsters, a digital soundtrack with tracks by Akira Yamaoka, and a Pyramid Head mask made from a pizza box (Note: The digital artbook and soundtrack will be distributed in the form of a bonus application. The contents will not be available for download in specific audio formats, such as MP3.). The Pyramid Head mask is available as a cosmetic item for in-game characters.
If a pre-order is placed, the standard and deluxe editions will include a Mira the Dog mask and a Robbie the Rabbit mask (*PlayStation 5 exclusive) DLC as pre-order bonuses. Likewise, each mask can be used as a character’s cosmetic item. Deluxe edition pre-orders also come with 48-hour early access. These are great deals full of content, so we recommend pre-ordering and purchasing through the PlayStation Store.
We will be revealing more information for Silent Hill 2 as the launch date approaches, so stay tuned. Our other titles, Silent Hill: Townfall and Silent Hill 2f, are also currently in development. We will follow up on these games when the time comes, so please look forward to more.

Billbil-kun z Dealabs, který o oznámení God of War Ragnarok pro PC informoval ještě předtím, než se stalo oficiálním, se zmínil o „globálním distribučním gigantu“, který remake uvádí na rok 2025. Zástupné datum pro fyzické kopie bylo údajně stanoveno na 31. prosince 2025, což zřejmě naznačuje uvedení na trh v příštím roce. To se leakerovi nepodařilo ověřit u druhého zdroje.
Domnívá se však, že v příštích deseti dnech dojde k novému oznámení, potenciálně 6. června, po němž budou spuštěny předobjednávky. Zdá se také, že standardní edice hry se bude prodávat za 69,99 USD, zatímco sběratelská edice (jejíž obsah není znám) bude stát 199,99 USD na konzolích Xbox řady X/S a PS5.
Společnost Konami potvrdila, že se bude konat další prezentace „větších“ oznámení hry Metal Gear Solid, ačkoli datum zatím nebylo potvrzeno. Jako vždy zůstaňte naladěni na další podrobnosti.

A sort of director's cut of the infamously foggy Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness features multiple characters to play as but these must be unlocked by completing the game.
At least, until now. It turns out the iconic Konami code can be used to unlock all characters, costumes and modes - just in a new form.

Vyplývá to z vyjádření novináře Jeffa Grubba, který v nedávném díle Bombcastu, podcastu serveru Giant Bomb, uvedl, že společnost Sony plánuje na květen další akci týkající se PlayStation a že na ní bude předveden remake Silent Hill 2.
Silent Hill 2 byl nedávno také ohodnocen ESRB, stejně jako v Jižní Koreji. Mezitím na začátku tohoto roku PlayStation naznačil, že hra vyjde někdy v letošním roce.
Grubb neupřesnil, zda půjde o další měsíc akce State of Play, nebo o PlayStation Showcase. Loňská akce PlayStation Showcase proběhla v měsíci květnu, takže je možné, že Sony má podobné plány i pro letošní rok.

The Silent Hill 2 remake is in development for PS5 and PC, and Konami hasn’t released a release date yet. Official store pages for the game suggest that the game is "coming soon."
A home computer version of Castlevania will be available to play on the classic computer's emulator console.

The company will bundle the game with Block Hole, a puzzle shooter game that is also known in Japan as Quarth.

Zuiki has announced that it will release the X68000 version of Castlevania on its X68000 Z mini-console on May 30, 2024. The company will bundle the game with Block Hole, a puzzle shooter game that is also known in Japan as Quarth.
Pre-orders for the physical package are immediately available on Zuiki Store at ¥5,478 (~$35.45). The package will feature a game case modeled after floppy disks that were used in classic PCs. The actual game cartridge will appear in the form of an SDHC card that the owner can insert into the X68000 Z console.
Konami originally released the X68000 version of Castlevania in 1993 in Japan. This version was also a remake of the game's inaugural edition which came out on the Famicom Disk System in 1986. The company later ported this version as-is in the Original Mode of Castlevania Chronicles, which it gradually released worldwide on the PlayStation in 2001.
This new port will add another entry to the list of classic Castlevania games that get brought over to modern consoles. Konami released the Castlevania Advance Collection which primarily featured the series' GBA entries for the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2021. Nintendo also added the Game Boy version of Castlevania Legends to its Nintendo Switch Online lineup in October 2023.
The Castlevania and Block Hole Deluxe Pack will be available for X68000 Z on May 30, 2024.

Konami zatím oficiálně neoznámilo datum vydání remaku Silent Hill 2 vyvinutého Bloober Teamem, ačkoli PlayStation dříve v tomto roce navrhl, že by hra měla vyjít někdy v roce 2024.
Jako takové, když datum vydání nebo okno hry zůstalo v nedohlednu, i když byl minulý měsíc představen nový trailer, znovu se objevily otázky, jak daleko jsme od spuštění hry.
Poslední vývoj by však mohl naznačovat, že se skutečně blíží do cíle. Jak si všiml server Gematsu na Twitteru, remake Silent Hill 2 byl nedávno hodnocen Výborem pro hodnocení a správu her v Jižní Koreji. Vzhledem k tomu, že věkové hodnocení her se obvykle objevuje, když jsou na konci produkce a blíží se vydání, mohlo by to znamenat, že se Silent Hill 2 konečně připravuje na spuštění.
Minulý měsíc Motoi Okamoto, producent série Silent Hill ve společnosti Konami, uvedl, že hra je v závěrečné fázi vývoje, což zopakovalo podobná předchozí prohlášení vývojáře Bloober Team.
Upoutávka na Silent Hill 2 v únoru vyvolala určitou reakci, přičemž kritika směřovala mimo jiné i na přílišné zaměření na boj. Krátce poté generální ředitel Bloober Team Piotr Babieno řekl, že má pocit, že trailer „neodráží ducha hry“ a že Konami je plně zodpovědná za marketing hry.
“Myslím to docela vážně, že nejsme zodpovědní za marketingovou stránku. Je to odpovědnost našeho partnera,” řekl Piotr Babieno.
Silent Hill měl na posledním State of Play společnosti Sony silné zastoupení, od skrytého vydání Silent Hill: he Short Message až po nový trailer na remake Silent Hill 2 od Bloober Team. Zatímco první z nich překročil navzdory smíšeným recenzím hranici dvou milionů stažení, druhý si také vysloužil svůj díl smíšených reakcí.

Zajímavé je, že i generální ředitel Bloober Team Piotr Babieno má pocit, že trailer “neodráží ducha hry”. V rozhovoru pro server investor.tv v nyní již soukromém videorozhovoru (přepis Eurogamer) vtipkoval o tom, že k traileru napsal negativní komentáře. Nicméně dodal: “Zcela vážně říkám, že za marketingovou stránku nejsme zodpovědní. Za tu je zodpovědný náš partner [Konami]. Tento trailer rozhodně neodráží ducha hry.
“To není duch toho, co bylo kdysi, ani duch toho, co vytváříme nyní. Snažíme se plně odrážet tuto romantickou vizi hry, která debutovala před 22 lety. Myslíme si, že až hráči uvidí skutečný gameplay, skutečnou hru, budou ji hodnotit úplně jinak.”
Ačkoli se objevily pochybnosti o projektu ze strany fanoušků, někteří se ozvali i s pozitivními zprávami. Co se týče vizuální stránky, Babieno řekl: “Myslím, že si můžete být jisti, že využíváme všech možností Unreal [Engine] 5.”
Silent Hill 2 je ve vývoji pro PS5 a PC, ačkoli datum vydání není známo (PlayStation uvedl uvedení na trh v roce 2024). Producent série Silent Hill Motoi Okamoto uvedl, že se nachází v “závěrečné fázi vývoje”, takže datum vydání bude možná oznámeno ještě letos. Mezitím zůstaňte naladěni na další aktualizace.

Following its decision to cut six percent of its workforce last March, EA has announced another round of layoffs - this time affecting five percent of staff (around 670 employees) - as it moves away from "future licensed IP" toward its "owned IP, sports, and massive online communities".
In an email to staff announcing today's layoffs, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said the cuts were part of a continuing effort to "optimise our global real estate footprint to best support our business".
In order to achieve its goals, Wilson said EA will be "streamlining [its] company operations", "sunsetting games and moving away from development of future licensed IP that we do not believe will be successful in our changing industry". Additionally, it'll "double down on our biggest opportunities — including our owned IP, sports, and massive online communities".
