Report: Silent Hill: Downpour Developer Under Scrutiny
Earlier this year Czech developer Vatra Games released Silent Hill: Downpour to average reviews. That performance may seal the fate of Vatra, which is currently under review by owner Kuju Entertainment.
Eurogamer's Czech site first reported trouble at Vatra, and since then the main website has contacted Kuju, which did not say that the studio was being closed. Kuji did say it was being reviewed – like all other aspects of Kuju's portfolio – by the company's new management team.
Apart from Silent Hill: Downpour (click for Tim's review), Vatra also handled Rush 'N Attack Ex-Patriot to similarly middling critical opinion.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
