People like Nubzombie are the major issue as much as I liked some of his content.

I like Nubs content a lot as well because he genuinely knows the franchise like the back of his hand. I remember during one of his streams talking about SH2 remake saying that of course "journos" and "reviewers" are going to shill for the remake so that they could be invited to press events and the like. Can't help that he addressed this because you know he would kill to be invited to the launch party to potentially meet his idols despite not really feeling a lot of the remake.

He's still a fencesitter and calls upset fans out in the vid I linked and bought into the reddit fallacies, strawmen of the haters instead of understanding the proper backlash. He went over Guy Cihi believing in conspiracy theories in the terrible reddit sh2 iceberg other tubers covered years ago, despite it being irrelevant and didn't point it out like he did the Circumcision theory, everyone has their bias and hypocrisy. I believe people like him are a problem in every old IP.

Yeah true the weird balancing act he does with nu-Angela is very much that. He has to kowtow to his progressive audience without acknowledging the reason we got the mutilated Angela we did for the remake. And remember no Gate keeping under any circumstances because thats what gamer chuds do.

Notice how he omits "quality." That being said Nub could be way worse with his politics during his streams and if he was I would avoid watching.

I wish not. That bio can give your eyes cancer. I wish it was ironic.

The silent hill fandom has been beyond fucked and never got rid of the Tumblr infestations. Never interact with the fanbase its getting full of trannies. At this point I would almost say AVOID ANYONE who associates with Silent Hill since autists and loonies will cling to people with similar interests. Only introduce people to 1-4 if they are interested irl. Thankfully Fungo is inactive, thats sort of one pretentious but insightful Silent Hill tuber. Go watch the Guy Cihi playthrough its a treat.

"Fanbases" of dead and beloved IPs eventually go through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Only the stronger get to acceptance. The rest will forever be bitter or suicidal, or still in denial mostly due to sunk cost fallacy. I almost got stuck with Star Wars but after realizing George Lucas essentially wanted to make the original cuts of the original trilogy lost and redundant media, I realized Star Wars would always be fucked regardless if Lucas was there or not, that I should enjoy the bits of it like I always have and let go of the rest since there are better things to do with my limited time alive.

I've avoided all information about this remake because I knew I would seethe about it, and also I wasn't going to play it. Seeing the stuff in thread has not changed my mind, its time for Total Remake Death. There has never been a remake of anything better than the original. Also its time for Total Silent Hill Death, we need to just leave this series in the past.

People will screech RE1 gamecube remake but I know many old fans who played the original who prefer the original gameplay structure, and the remake fucked up the balance by inflating difficulty to pad gametime since many devs did that back in the day to justify price points. Better atmosphere sure, good lore additions maybe, but it still has the angry red zombs who are on a bullshit timer the player cannot see. Just more resource bloat to waste on.

Eh, there's plenty. You've got the ones that springboard off, like The Fly or The Thing from the original ideas, but then you also have the same-beats better-engine remakes, like RE2make or Pathologic 2.

There were a million ways to remake SH2 that could succeed, whether you tried to stay faithful to the source material or if you tried to really change the tone. The trouble is, they put Bloober Team in charge and decided the way to go was to make it a generic horror game. Because almost everyone who praises two talks about it as if it was just Resident Evil.

I still can't get over the fact that they chose the callisto protocol as their core combat design pillar. What the fuck? But it doesn't matter. This game is going to be praised to the high heavens because the PT hipsters pretending to like the rest of the franchise decided the moment it was announced that it was good.

Godfuckingdamnit!

I was going to pick this up when it's hugely discounted next year and I was in a bout of hardcore self-loathing but I think I'll just drink and fuck whores like a man with common sense.

I'd just watch someone play through it and see if you think you could stomach the combat. IF you want to laugh at how fucking wrong they got everything, I mean. It's not like the original SH's combat was anything but complete dogshit - anyone trotting out "it makes it more immersive" is a retard who will be surprised to learn from reading this that you can reload while paused.

But the way to fix it wasn't to turn it into... whatever it is. You do that retarded callisto shit of it being mostly-melee where you're supposed to duck and weave around attacks, and you can pull the gun out at lightning-fast speeds to do combo attacks or disrupt the enemies, then quickswap to melee back. The i-frames James has on his dodge are hilariously insane, one of the demos they released shows p-head slamming his sword straight through James but whoopsie! he was dodging so it's all good.

The way to approach SH2, ironically, is the way they seem to be approaching MGS 3. A straight up 1:1 remake with improved visuals.

(Though it's a crime that they won't include Snake vs. Monkey)

How about Kirby Superstar Ultra? I know the audio quality is slightly worse in the DS, but aside from that I didn't feel like I missed much when I finally played the OG years later. I even 100%'d it.

2d remakes are usually alright if they are an ultimate version of it. I loved it too, genuinely insane amount of content for a handheld. The only kirby I played too. Blessed ost. My favorite ds game, sadly lost it while moving as a kid. I miss HAL Labratory so fucking much (:_(
