A former writer who worked on the Silent Hill series described the Silent Hill 2 remake as poison in a chalice. Sam Barlow He previously worked on several installments in the series, most notably Silent Hill Origins, released for the PS2, and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, released for the Wii and PS2.

The expression "poisoned chalice" is often used in sports and politics to refer to a specific job or task performed by a person. Initially, the person believes they have been honored. But they soon realize that the task entrusted to them is actually a heavy burden that could ruin their reputation.

Barlow He said during an exclusive interview with PCGamesN that he is not enthusiastic about trying the Silent Hill 2 remake that Bloober Team is working on, where he said:

Personally, I'm less than excited to play the game, also it's like the biggest "poisoned chalice" in video games, that I'm re-releasing Silent Hill 2.. I mean, good luck to them because I don't know how to do that without upsetting the fans of the series.

in contrast Barlow He's not usually enthusiastic about remasters and remakes. On the other hand, he was more enthusiastic about the Silent Hill titles that have been revealed, which are set in the series' world. He added that using the game world to present different new stories would be a more exciting idea, rather than working on a remake of something that has proven its quality for several years.

The version of Silent Hill that I love and that they've started working on is that we're using it as a platform to have a bunch of interesting psychological horror games. The writer also adds that Silent Hill 2 is a very popular title. The game also has a large and loyal audience, and they may not be happy to see the changes Bloober Team will introduce in the upcoming remake.

In the same context, Bloober Team stated that the survival horror game Silent Hill 2 is technically ready, at least. The developer added that this doesn't mean a release will happen soon, and that it's up to its partners, referring to both Konami and Sony.
