It was an unfortunate reminder that Konami clearly doesn't see Silent Hill 2 (or any of its beloved properties, really) with the same eyes that its audience has seen it for years.

The fact that they thought that this is an appropriate level of quality for what is considered by many to be either the best or at least one of the best horror games of all time is incredibly disappointing, but ultimately not surprising. My reaction to this this has been mostly "sigh, of course".

I've seen some people throw blame in Bloober's direction, but the responsability of choosing a developer that was not way over their head with the project lays on Konami, as does the responsability of providing enough time and resources for the project.

Konami clearly wants to have their cake and eat it by intending to get the results that Capcom has gotten out of their RE revival while putting one third of the effort and the care, and at this point all I can say is that I hope it doesn't work out for them.

It really sucks when the owner of the thing is the one that cares the least about it, what else can you say really.
