Maybe it's the angles but she doesn't have that doughy face and double chin in what little we see.

Can't fix the voice acting downgrades which carry the story. The story is also bloated now with abysmal side content (a music shop with predictable mosnter ambushes before you even encounter the first one, really makes you miss Team Silent and how they did interiors). Konami wouldnt pay the og actors if you watch The Real Silent Hill Experience and fans had to fight to get the og voices in the hd collection which were terrible. Only for 2. Reminder that they are fine to pay for the MGS3 actors but not for SH2. They have all the pachinko money and Yu-Gi-Oh money they want and can't just give fans what they want. Hilarity.

I remember all the voice actor drama mostly because the same things the SH2 cast had asked for was mocked by the same establishment actors who then began demanding the same shit during their gay ass strike back in the mid 2010's.

Mary McGlynn, the SH singer, mocking them as some group of cheap "Malaysian voice actors" and mocking Donna Burkes performance as Angela is peak retardation from someone who has a one note acting ability.
 
FYI the CEO of Nightdive is interested in remastering 5 Silent Hill games. (1-4, maybe origins or SM). Konami likely won't let this happen. I'd be happy if they did. "That would be a really big one on our list"
Sad that Konami won't do it.

There's only four games so not sure what else you'd want to waste your resources on unless you really like low IQ fan games like Shattered Memories.

Still, I respect Night Dive and if they could port the Team Silent titles that'd be nice. Be nice not needing to hook up an almost 20 year old PS3 to play the original trilogy+gaiden.

Just leave a feature that let's SH1 look like a PS1 title because jfc that really helped my first play through in two decades to realize just how terrifying that game is even over SH2 and 3.
 
>forced in movie shit
I have to remind myself people will defend it.

So this is actually the norm for all these remasters using the same performances, voice actors never get re-paid for reuse of performance, whether they should is it's own discussion. Also technically it was already an issue back when they released the Greatest hits and xbox versions of the game since those are also new SKUs.

Why that became an issue at all os because Guy Cihi, voice of James had a principled stance of not being ok with how Konami handled it, there was never an official contract granting Konami the right to use those performances in perpetuity so Guy, not being concered about getting blacklisted from the industry since he's just some business guy raised a stink because they didn't own the rights to those performances. Technically if he never brought this up there never would have been any issue regarding this and Konami would've just reused them.

The resolution was that most of the actors signed away their rights (they still werent paid for the reuses) and Konami now officially owns those performances to reuse them (except heather morris who couldn't be found at the time so 3 HD doesn't have og voices). Guy didn't care about money he just saw it as incompetence on Konami's part. But the reality is this is just how the game's industry works and Guy is a business man who cares about his rights, he's a professional.

Also speaking of Guy he's vanished from the internet, last post I can find by him is facebook in january, instagram is dead, twitter is privated his youtube stopped uploading 2 years ago. Hope he's okay.

Trailer is a great reminder that Bloober Team is inbound for the biggest fuck up in remake history. I still have zero faith.

Nor should you, I sense no lynchian-vibes in the demake.

Trying to top Takayoshi Sato's work on the CGI cutscenes is a fruitless endeavor. He absolutely nails how surreal everything is.

And the early 2000s cgi actually works to the game's benefit, which is a rarity. I don't think it looks awkward, it looks purposefully designed to invoke a certain feeling of strangeness or dark foreboding. Perfect wallpaper material.

Shit was very telling of Troy/McG's true character. It was pretty disgusting, that's the main thing I remember from the old HD collection days.

And the PS2 version remains the only "highest" quality FMV cutscenes we have because its the only version that renders them in true 60fps, which adds a lot to these scenes compared to shitty AI upscales and downgrades on other versions that render in 30fps possibly due to limitations or to be coherent with the 30fps gameplay.
I'm so fucking mad we probably lost team silent's work forever since they likely wiped their computers to save space for SH3 development and then 4, and now we only have the egotistical artist who ever talks and the music composer who barely understands the work behind all of this.
 
The discussion around the remake makes me want to pull my fucking hair out. All the arguments I see in favor of it are just "Well the graphics are better!!!" Because fuck artstyle, that shit doesnt matter. Retards are crawling out of the woodwork and trying to claim that hating the gane because of the trailer is somehow irrational and stupid.

Nigga, the whole point of trailers and teasers is it build up hype and interest in something. If that cant be accomplished, assuming the product is going to fucking suck isnt crazy or weird.

Yeah I hope he's ok too. There was this indie horror game series he was supposed to be a major part of but I don't know if that ever got off the ground.
