Konami and Blooper Team reveal Silent Hill remake

Blooper Team's Silent Hill 2 remake launched to plenty of praise last year. Now, Konami is turning its attention to other games in the series, starting with a remake of the original game. 

Silent Hill 1 is next in line to get the remake treatment. The game is being developed as part of Konami's continued partnership with Blooper Team, a horror-focused game studio.

Silent Hill first released in 1999, but this won't be the first time that the game has been remade. Back in 2009, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories came to the PS2 and Nintendo Wii platforms. The game is known for ‘reimagining' certain events from the original and expanding on the first game's story.

The Silent Hill remake does not yet have a release date. It took two years from announcement to release for Silent Hill 2, so we could be looking at a similar timeline here.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
