Cronos: The New Dawn

Bloober Team is killing it. Remake a beloved horror game only to blow people away with it. Then follow that up with a new IP and make something that looks completely amazing. Sign me up.

Also the use of goth rock This Mortal Coil and a deep cut track off an EP is a win in my books.

Pardon my ignorance, but how were they able to release two games so close together, when usually there’s 5 to 10 years between games released by a studio?

A lot of mutated monster games with monsters that look like they would fit well in a Silent Hill or Dead Space game, including Cronos and Stellar Blade as two examples among many.

Cool that it's not just first person view like so many games, but offers 3rd person angle.

You can save a LOT of time with a remake. A lot of what goes into making an original game is coming up with the idea, the mechanics, the look. The gameplay beats. You're literally creating everything. It's not unusual for a team to spend over a year just solidifying just the bare concept. With a remake all of that is already done.

They probably had a much smaller team on the SH remake with the bulk of the staff on Cronos. Then once they got the remake out the door it was all hands on deck.

I'm sure I'll enjoy both Silent Hill remakes eventually, still waiting for SH2 Remake to hit PS+ Extra/Premium first.
