Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

You promised me you'd take me there again someday, and now you have. Silent Hill 2 has returned; is this the long awaited return to that Special Place?
The Silent Hill 2 remake will require over 15 hours to complete, according to one of the game's very first reviews. Japanese magazine Famitsu reviewed the highly anticipated remake launching next week on PC and PlayStation 5 in this week's issue, awarding it a 35/40 score (8/9/9/9), which is a little higher than the score the magazine awarded the original game (32/40). The review praised the sense of realism brought by the beautiful visuals, the game's unique atmosphere, revamped puzzles that feel more mentally taxing, and combat. The review also confirmed that it will take between 16 and 18 hours […]

Silent Hill Townfall is one of several projects based on KONAMI's premiere horror franchise announced at the Silent Hill Transmission presentation in October 2022, alongside the Silent Hill 2 remake (due to be released in just a few days) and Silent Hill F. After that brief teaser, Silent Hill Townfall Creative Director Jon McKellan from No Code (the studio behind Observation) shared a message with the community: I remember playing the original Silent Hill on PlayStation 1 back in 1999 and became a fan from that moment on. So, for us to work on this game with our friends at Annapurna feels […]
A new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was shared online today, providing a new look at the remake of the third entry in the series launching in the future of PC and consoles. The new trailer, which can be watched below, was shown during today's Xbox Tokyo Game Show broadcast and provided a new look at some of the story's central characters, such as Eva, Ocelot, the Boss, and Volgin. While Ocelot's design looks a little off in my opinion, Eva and Volgin look extremely good, the new models providing a solid update without altering the original design in […]
It isn't surprising that a company like Konami would want to make the game a PlayStation exclusive, especially since the original Silent Hill 2 was created for PlayStation 2 before going to Xbox the year after. In an interview with Bloober Team, they also mentioned that they had to fight hard to get the Silent Hill 2 remake on PC. While the game will have performed very well on its own if it was released exclusively on PlayStation 5, having it on additional platforms gives it even more opportunity to perform and become a financial success for both Bloober Team […]
Silent Hill 2 Remake has already been confirmed to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive as well as on PC, but officially, it has been confirmed not to be on 'other formats' until 10.08.2025. The release date for Silent Hill 2 is just around the corner. It will be released on 8 October, just in time for Halloween. Whether this means that it's confirmed that Silent Hill 2 will be available on Xbox in the future remains to be seen in 2025, with the possibility it will also be released on the Nintendo Switch successor, should the console be powerful enough. […]
Japanese streamer 2RBO. livestreamed 90 minutes of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which Bloober Team is developing with a release date of October 8, 2024. The live stream showed off the early area gameplay, introducing the players to James Sunderland, a man looking for his wife in Silent Hill. In this livestream, fans get to watch the livestreamer travel through the city, comparing the sights of the new game to the original, expressing their excitement (as read via translated captions) at the differences made with new graphics. Silent Hill 2's remake features ray-tracing and new technical enhancements to add to […]
After months of silence, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune And Dunan Unification Wars has finally resurfaced, and with a final release date to boot. In today's Nintendo Partner Direct, it has been confirmed that the collection featuring the first two entries in the beloved JRPG series by Konami will be released on March 6th on Nintendo Switch. Konami has yet to confirm the release date for PC and PlayStation consoles, but it will likely be the same as the Nintendo Switch release. A new trailer showcasing some of the remasters' features was also shared online, and you […]
KONAMI recently held a preview event for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, inviting select press to play the game. A few developers were also on hand to discuss the highly anticipated remake. Producer Noriaki Okamura, for instance, a veteran who worked on Metal Gear Solid V, told VGC: This is one of my favorite titles as well, and since the game was already good, to begin with, we didn’t want to mess around the original creative direction of the game. There are a lot of things that we didn’t feel necessary to change. That is not to say there are […]
While the standard playthrough of Silent Hill 2 is expected to take between 16 and 18 hours, Bloober Team has announced that for the completionists out there, it will take more than 20 hours "to find everything that the team put into the game and things we've hidden for you." Silent Hill recently received a story trailer that shows players some of the game's most iconic characters, such as Eddy and Mary. In terms of playtime, Mateusz Lenart, the Creative Director and Lead Designer of Silent Hill 2, posted about how many secrets are hidden away in the corners of the game. In […]
Earlier this week, the Gamescom staff sent out an email to the press mentioning some of the confirmed exhibitors, and that list included KONAMI. Indeed, when checking the Gamescom biz app, I could verify that KONAMI has secured a booth in Hall 4.1, A071/D080, which is in the business area. You could be forgiven for thinking that they'd bring their highly anticipated remakes: Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. However, that's not at all what KONAMI is showing there this year: as I confirmed with their PR agency, the Japanese publisher will be focusing solely on […]
