Earlier last week, news broke that Bloober Team and Konami were teaming up for a strategic partnership, which of course has tongues wagging over a potential Silent Hill revival.

Film criticism is meant to help audiences navigate the ever-growing sea of new releases, but there’s an undeniable divide between many professional critics and the general public. The horror genre has an especially troubled history with conflicting opinions, with certain films only being considered “classics” decades after loyal fans insisted that negative reviews were mistaken.

This was excruciatingly common back in the 2000s, when the...

The chances of it being the case have certainly increased with the news that the developer and publisher have entered a cooperative agreement to make something together and learn from each other. The agreement will see the duo jointly develop ‘select contents and exchange know-how’. This naturally led to a lot of speculation that Bloober is the Western developer believed to be working on a Silent...
