For SH2, I think it was specifically because of Bloober Team was working on it. They had a mixed or spotty track record before this release, so people were worried, they’d mess up the remake for a beloved game.

I think Konami also kinda “left” video game development for a time, focusing more on Pachinko machines, their health clubs, etc. So they didn’t really have the best reputation (and still haven’t), and people didn’t know if it was just going to be a lazy cash grab.

Silent Hill f I don’t really know what people are saying, and I haven’t looked, but I can only guess that anti-woke mob is going after the game, because you’re playing as a girl/woman, which is of course DEI, forced diversity, woke, whatever, I dunno.
