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.
It's definitely disappointing. Everything about this trailer looks serviceable, but it's not the type of quality I expect when I hear "PS5 remake". The lighting looks good... Sometimes... Most of the trailer looked like a PS3 game, especially in terms of animations and janky combat.
It doesn't help that there's been a huge resurgence of amazing survival horror games. The RE4 remake is awesome, and I played Dead Space and Alan Wake 2 last year and they were amazing. I don't think the world needs an okay remake when there are too many good options already.
Honestly, combat and animation wise, I'd say that suggesting the idea that it is comparable to PS3 era games actually does a disservice to many of the games of that era (TLoU, Dead Space Series, the REs of that era, etc etc).
I might even go as far as saying that in some aspects it may even be outdone by the Silent Hill games of that era, Homecoming and Downpour, but that is probably reaching a tad too much.
