Silent Hill 2’s original translator wasn’t told about the remake

Bloober Team’s upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 seems to be following the 2001 original’s plot, based on what little we’ve seen so far. Which is to say, a trailer (one that Bloober Team’s CFO Tomasz Gawlikowski says (opens in new tab) is “in-engine UE5” and “what the game is meant to look like”) that includes recreations of several scenes from the original game. 

Jeremy Blaustein, who translated Silent Hill 2’s script into English as well as directing the motion capture and voiceover production, responded to the remake being announced on Twitter (opens in new tab). “Cool!” he wrote. “And they will, once again, use the SH2 English script that I wrote/translated  (oh, directed too) completely by myself and I will get zero compensation for it and there will not be tens of thousands of people on Twitter outraged on my behalf.”
