That was one of the best games of its time. Especially when it got recalled cause the disks were defectice and would explode in higher rppm cdroms.

Luckily the pc crowd wasnt in contorl when it got the steam treatment.
Really? I never knew about that, though this isn't the only game that had CDRom issues. The first copy of The Longest Journey I had, for example, had major disk read errors and Funcom had to issue a recall because the game wouldn't install.

Iirc the disc became slightly unbalanced due to the printing and at 52x rotational velocity they started to wobble and break. Diablo 2 (and some other games) had similar issues I think.

I do like how he looks in this. Even more fat and unhinged.

He does not look like Eddie at all and looks like a soulless caricature. Now he looks like some Pedophile instead of a football enthusiast deeply troubled young guy. He looks more sane and by-the-books. At this point you can't convince me that Silent Hill fans aren't lying to themselves to cope so hard with the fact that this series is no longer even Silent Hill. Bloober never understood that Realism isn't everything. Capcom and it's consequences have been a disaster for horror gaming.

If you were to take a shot every time this trailer had a generic third person action game trope in it you'd have alcohol poisoning. God I fucking HATE IT give me the hat stickers I don't care anymore.


James becomes niggercattle because Capcom did it to mask loading screens.

Bye bye kino, in for the CURRENT YEAR edition of Soylent Hell 2. I wouldn't be so fucking MATI about this if Konami gave proper ports of this franchise that it deserves but it STILL has not, and will not. I wouldn't be so pissed off that this grave was dug up if they at least TRIED TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THIS DEMAKE LIKE MGS3 SEEMS TO BE DOING WHY NOT REMAKE 1 LIKE MOST PEOPLE WANTED? Thus, it keeps a lot of people from experiencing it and that makes me so mad I almost hope this series just dies to be maybe auctioned to better companies. Do yourselves a favor and pirate and emulate 1-4 that's all there is to this series if you aren't a retard who's gonna buy the inflated prices of the original copies. Overall #FucKonami is a hashtag that remains eternal since they never learn anything. This is the equivalent to fan cuckoldery with a shitty publisher who owns all of these really good IPs and does nothing good with them.

PPS Maria's jail scene was obviously fucked up. Look at the thumbnails. She looks way too friendly and generic now instead of insidious. They will 100% fuck up the way the original VA swapped between Mary and Maria in the most important scene in the game. Maria is supposed to be unsettling and sexy at the same time but also a little ugly and now she looks like the slavic bimbo who's playing her in the demake. 1000179556.jpg

All of you will truly see the cracks and limitations of making this a generic 3rd person game when it releases. It will be an excellent comparison of new vs old gameplay design, might be a good foundation to push against this design-by-comittee bullshit.

You can also see her eyes clearly... How do you fuck up something so blatant.

Like the scene is more than just is this Maria or Mary? You watched her die you're sitting there wondering if it's a trick, a crucial part of the scene is you can'r see her face fully. Is this a monster? an illusion? How is she looking at me, is she upset I let her die? Does she actually not know? It's so important to the scene that you can't know any of these till she steps forward. The eyes are the windows the soul and they tell a lot about an expression and emotion. Without them you can't even tell if a human is looking back at you yet. Similar tricks are used throughout the entire series like James looking at the mirror or Heather anytime the demon is influencing her.

Also her roots aren't as darkened. Another case of how can you fuck ot up? The artificial part of her looks are fading and falling apart, not well maintained.

Her smile is also way too friendly she's not supposed to look warm and inviting, Mary's smile looks smug, mocking, sinister, it's not a smile you want to see.

The scene where Eddie puts the gun to his head, with the deranged expression that the original perfectly delivered, compared to the remake one, made me woeful.

He's got 2019 Joker appeal in the original. Now it's just creepy serial killer.

She looks 15 years older in the remake. Not a good look. Almost troonesque with the smile

You just know that the pierogi-brained morons at Bloober Team have done absolutely no research into the works that influenced Silent Hill 2's story and aesthetics in the first place - e.g. Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, the filmographies of Lynch, Cronenberg and Fincher, not to mention Jacob's Ladder.
 
I know game devs are absolutely terrified of shrieking feminists and their media whore allies but it's honestly ok to make people in their early 20s look young, they are young.

Not everyone had to look like a haggard 45+ year old amphetamine addict.

So, I can't find the image at the moment, but that image of eddie looks EXACTLY like a shitpost someone made on facebook group Silent Hill Fogposting.
 
Still keeping my expectations low ofc but it honestly doesn’t look like total garbage so far, censorship and flat voice acting aside (Maria’s jail scene is especially bad). Eddie looks creepy which I guess is good in a way but I can’t unsee Dan Schneider.

I like that they kept Eddie as a fat fuck (and actually made him more fat) but his facial expressions look too stiff. He had more crazy eyes in the original scene.

Not to mention in the remake he looks like a crack addict rather than just a fat guy.

This team just can’t figure out the nuances of the scenes in this game. The lighting worked so well to make various moments of this game unsettling.

Where are the strong shadows? Why does everything look so flat? Eddie looks like shit, now he screams danger when the OG had him seem unthreatening at first (just some fat guy with a childish outfit puking into a toilet), and then slowly going more and more insane until you have no choice but to fight him.
 
Is it me or did they make Angela thinner closer to her original design in the new trailer? They avoid any direct shots of her face in the story trailer but she looks skinnier from what little I could see.
