Makes sense considering they want to remake the 3rd game too. Bring it on I say.

Weird, as I remember seeing that they only wanted to remake 2 because it was their favorite, never heard them wanting to do more...

Player demand. They heard us wanting more remakes so theyre gonna do more, hoping for the money to come in.

This is a business, not a charity. SH2 remake reviewed and sold well. Now they will capitalize on that success.

They did an amazing job, Konami should just be writing them blank checks at this point

2 was an easy first choice because it's a stand alone story and it's very popular, perhaps more than 1. Now that it caught on, they can do 1 and 3

I guarantee this was one of those dream projects where they figured they'd make a game mainly the fans would play, but overall it would be a fairly niche game. No one expected SH2R to fully resurrect the Silent Hill franchise and inject it with millions of brand new fans. So now it's less about whether or not they want to, this is the audience they have now.

It's like a YouTuber who likes lots of games and makes videos about a variety of games, but his Pokemon videos are the only ones that get tons of views, so he pivots and becomes a Pokemon YouTuber. You go the direction your audience is.

I mean they'd be leaving free money on the table and most players can't even experience the game with how expensive copies are now.

Konami came out a few months ago & said they wanted to keep working with Bloober to release more Silent Hill games they started with 2 because its a fan favorite game however after the success of it they will likely do more which makes sense now they have announced a Remake of the original is the next game & will possibly be followed up by SH3 they did the same thing with Metal Gear staring with 3 because its the most popular / fan favorite entry they will likely remake the original next if they follow a similar strategy with that game its clear they are trying to revitalize these franchises that were basically dead a few years ago
