It's made with modern audience in mind.... They have also changed a few things... Might be the bearer of bad news but don't have the hopes set to high.. more like low to medium low...@@Alexander.alhaidairy
The reason why Silent Hill 2 it became a classic is because eventually people began to see how unique, eerie, melancholic and authentic the game's atmosphere it really is, and took the time to enjoy its deeply thoughtful narrative and symbolism. To this day it’s by far one of, if not the most mature examination of grief, sexual trauma, suicide, and morality all combined. It’s an intelligent game that does not hold anyone’s hand and comes at the player with utmost confidence in itself. It’s fantastic stuff. The rest of the original 4 are great in their own right and have their own well written stories, but they don’t hold the same emotional weight to them. I think SH2’s maturity by comparison is something that a lot of people are drawn to. ☯️
@@Blastermaster113 No they don't. SH1 literally coined and did just about every single thing that #2 is praised for first. It just has a very different cast, different kind of tale, and different perspective in general. In fact, I'd argue that SH1 has all around deeper story and symbolism, since unlike SH2, it does not outright spell all the important plot points to the played during a single playthrough. But once you connect the dots, you are left with a truly emotional, sad tale of a young child's abuse, exploitation, and extreme phobia towards the world as a whole... with enough love towards the caring parent figures to still wish them well.
@@j0sjam933first is definitely the scarier of the two as well but the first three imo are the pinnacle of survival horror with some cases with 4 being in there.
@@LuckyNeuron-ys8syThe First Silent Hill 1 game also had bigger map, Being East Side of Silent Hill and Central Silent hill. And underground sewer. The first silent hill 1 had flying dinosaur like creature, then school demon school kids, dogs, giant worm and moth, there were more boss fights in first game and was much more difficult than 2. Silent Hill 2 is also difficult game the 1st game had puzzles that were way more difficult especially on hard mode!
Many people complain about the controls. I finished the game for the first time like a week ago as someone born after the game came out. At first I had trouble even getting out of the bathroom since I was getting used to both the camera and the controls. Go into settings and change “Control Type: 3D” to 2D. Then you just control it like most modern games. Such a lifesaver when I first started I was genuinely thinking “If I don’t get better at this it’ll be unplayable” Please, even if the game is old, just check the settings. It doesn’t hurt. You could be saving yourself some trouble.
You asked if it would have made more sense to make a remake of the first Silent Hill game. The thing with Silent Hill is that apart from SH 1 and SH3 every game tells it's own self contained story. The only constant is the Town of Silent Hill itself. So SH1 and SH3 tell a story about a cult and SH 3 is basically the sequel to SH1 (and there is also SH Origins which is a prequel to SH1 :D ). SH2 on the other hand has nothing to do with a cult. It tells the personal story of James and that's it. Additionally, SH2 is considered to be the fan favorite (followed by SH3), so remaking SH2 was probably the best decision. But yeah, it is quite confusing :D
Plus, we already got a reimagining with Shattered Memories, which I personally didn't like all that much. Silent Hill's pretty much gone nowhere since Downpour, so a remake of the second game is one way to reel in the old fans while trying to gain new ones.
I am personally VERY GLAD that these asshats are not BUTCHERING the SH1, the absolutely best game in the franchise. I also absolutely despise the nu-SH2 wannabe fans that try to turn #2 into some sort of standalone spinoff, all while bringing up "MUH CULT!!!!" a hundred time when talking about the rest. No son, SH1 and 3 are VERY personal stories, and the occult stuff is always just a smaller backdrop cog in the bigger picture. 1 outright ignores it. Last but not least: SH1 is the second most popular fan favourite. Been so the past 25 years.
@@GugureSux Dude relax, I wasn't trying to offend you. More power to you if SH1 is your favorite, I enjoyed it too. I was just trying to answer a question by summarizing the most common views on the franchise 😄
I remember playing the original as a spritely 21-year-old back in 2001, and it instantly became very special to me. Even now in 2024, I still listen to Akira Yamaoka's fantastic soundtrack while drawing. I'm currently almost all the way through the remake, and think Bloober Team have done a really great job. I particularly like the occasional nods back to items/puzzles that were in the original.
It was a product of it's time. That era, that hardware, the group of devs being thrown together by konami etc. There is just no way to recreate that magical combination. Having two og members isn't going to make it great. I don't even think the entire team silent could pull it off again.
The saddest thing is, Bloopooper's entitled twats outright ignored and neglected the TS' guys in the end, shooting down their suggestion of making a brand new game. Masahiro Ito especially has been openly AGAINST remaking the SH2 for many, many years now, and TS in general is known for always trying something new, not rehashing the same thing.
I understand this generation has grown into visuals and framerate, but back then there was a whole different joy on PS1 and a box Tv and a good game such as this.
Im currently playing the game on PCSX2 on software mode (perfect emulation with 0 glitches, limited to 640x480) on a CRT Monitor at 640x480 interlaced 120hz with calibrated brightness for deep blacks. Yeah....this game DEFINITELY didn't need a remake.
yeah.. unfortinately people don't understand that, because... as many are mentionning "tank controls are outdated, the aiming sucks, ..." while here I am with 10 star achievement for every single SH from 1 to 4. majority just don't give a fuck about the story nor the atmosphere. they want to consume stiff shit action with no solid narration.
@@bombastik_bombWhich makes no sense because believe it or not the tank controls crappy aiming mechanics were like that for a reason. The team silent devs wanted to make you feel like a regular guy with no fighting or shooting experience to make you feel more vulnerable and if anything added to the immersion. It showed you real quick that your not some super human like Leon in re4 or some of these other action/horror games.
Since you were wondering, here's some similar games from the same ps2 era that are pretty unique their own way and worth checking them out: Rule of Rose, Haunting Ground, Clock Tower 3, Siren.
I played the PS2 version via emulartion a couple years ago and wasn't as high on it as most. I think that was mostly due to how I played it. I used a walkthrough because I sometimes get frustrated with games from that era providing minimal direction. I need to replay it without a walk through. With emulation of the PS2 version I have little interest in the remake.
And that is the problem. Using a walkthrough because you cannot pass a few parts. Have you ever beaten . . . let's say TMNT for the NES? Or Ninja Gaiden? Even Double Dragon 3? If you have, SH2 shouldn't be a problem.
Aside from maybe some of the puzzles, I really don’t think the Silent Hill games, or PS2 era games in general, are that difficult to follow or progress in? I mean they don’t hold your hand like modern AAA releases, but most games even then certainly weren’t that obtuse.
@@kidrobot. It will, and it already does. It's a literal Homecoming x TLOU reskin, with the nu-RE4's QTEs and yellow paint meme tacked on it. Not only that, but the cinematography and voice acting is beyond butchered, together with the character's visual design and behavior. Partly because of a darn DEI firm, partly because of pure artistic impotence.
Here is how I know the remake of Silent Hill is going to be pretty damn good. Just go watch the gameplay trailers and cutscenes. Just look at it. Like with your eyes. Looks fuckin good right? Yes. Yes it all does. Looks phenomenal. You won’t putting in that kind of work of fidelity, and showing off your gameplay of your game before it releases if you weren’t confident that it was nothing short of amazing. Don’t think you guys realize what kind of work goes into making these games. It’s a lot. Now I know there are some exceptions… saint Row 2022 looked pretty decent with their trailers and shit but it was a total shit show when it released. But they never showed off gameplay before release. There’s the difference. So relax guys. The Silent Hill 2 remake is going to deliver. I guarantee it.
@@VampireA1056People loved RE4R because it was faithful to the original. People are skeptical of SH2 because this is Konami, and because of the shift to over the shoulder. People are also worried that they'll turn it into an action game.
I always had a special relationship with this game , especially after losing a wife it does hit hard .the remake tried and has its moments but it sacrifices some of the cool stuff that made it epic
when i come over to my friend he forces me to play games he likes and one of those were SIlent Hill 1 to 3. Oh boi i wished i played those when i was younger. Especially SH2 was a masterpiece with its story telling and music.
If you'd like another PS2 game that has weird/unique controls please try Katamari Damacy (or it's remaster on newer gens)! It looks really goofy but once you sit down and play it you realize it actually is one of the goofiest and most fun games you've ever laid your eyeballs on.
Silent Hill 2 will always be one of the greatest games ever made. Still Wakes the Deep was also surprisingly good! So much so I did a quick review of it on my channel due to how short and complete it all felt. Sorta like a 4 - 5 episode mini series you'd find on TV. Great review here by the way! (P.S. play the first one before the 3rd one if you do decide to play the others)
My first time playing this game was in this month i had finish it with 1 and 3 it was the best experience i ever had games really need kinda of imagination
I first played the original around when it came out. I was still relatively fresh to survival horror at the time but I would say this game was the first and perhaps the only one to ever intimidate the fuck out of me. Games like this were just not heard of at the time. After playing this for a while, when I went back and tried Resident Evil it felt like an episode of scooby doo by comparison.
Omg, you sound like Dave Sanderson (Louis C.K.’s character) from Parks and Recreation. I’m sorry if that doesn’t sit right, but I mean it in the best way!
I have this game. Thought it was stolen/missing. I ended up finding it. Only regret I have. Is not buying a better copy in 2007. The one I have has a small scratch in the corner. Still plays perfect, though.
This is pretty much my case, I'm halfway the game, a masterpiece, until now I cannot say If I like it more than Sillent Hill 1. I want to take part into the games comparison conversations, I like old 1990 or 2000 games though.
Ive been playing SH2 since '05 and have beaten it multiple times since. While i have low expectations, from what i have seen, it is not the worst thing and have been liking a good amount of what I'm seeing.
Nah mate, that DE-make is literally all the worst fears of any SH fan come true. All the old silly memes joking about "lol what if SH2 was made today?? :D" used as the blueprint.
@@GugureSux I think that's a bit hyperbolic to say all the worst fears. Bloober is not great, but the recent trailer and gaming journalist sites commenting on the time they had with it is more or less what I imagined it to be. I'm going in low expectations and if I'm pleasantly surprised by something then that's cool. There already have been several SH games made by Western developers that were already not the best, and at least this is trying and listening to what more or less made the original a cohesive piece.
The fact that he is talking the half video about the gameplay shows that he does not get why silent hill 2 is such a great game and that the remake fails to replicate that
Hopefully the PC port is solid. It looks amazing on PS5 and I have a high end PC so I’m torn on which version to buy because it might get a bad port.. Who knows.. Hell maybe I’ll just get both versions.
Friend, i know you are in no obligation to know everything that there is to know in this world, but this game controls are the classic Tank Controls that were prevalent in the Resident Evil games for the playstation 1 and Dino Crisis and Silent Hill 1, these controls are sucky but back then everyone and their mothers dominated them. They make more sense in old RE games since they shift the camera perspective even more than Silent Hill.
Correct info, but I disagree. The "tank controls" never sucked. Literal children, me included, could master them in no time, resulting the later playthroughs (yes, you indeed replayed these games dozens of times) being borderline speedruns. The real-time cinematography of the SH games is in fact so good, that the makers of those (horrible) SH movies copied them almost 1 to 1 into their film.
Silent Hill 2 is one of the greatest games ever. However if you want another PS2 game that is unique like this, try the Fatal Frame games. Fatal Frame 2 is one of most unique horror games of that era.
I wanna play this game so bad but it's hard to find and expensive as all hell, the most accesable way I can play it is through the HD Collection, and uh....I don't wanna do that.
@@li81520 emulating it on my phone doesn't seem like the best way to do it, and my PC isn't as powerfull as it used to be. Maybe if I try to fix it I might be able to play it.
@@VampireA1056 SH1 is a PS1 game, and thus can be emulated on some early-2000s' Windows 2000 era wormboxes. Similarly, SH2-4 all got real deal PC ports back in the day. Being such old, native PC games, they too run on insanely underwhelming specs. You just slap the Enhanced Edition mod on the SH2, and the latest fan-fixes mentioned on the PC Gaming Wiki site on the other two, and you're good to go! Setup takes like a minute per game, and the SH PC Guide paste bin link provides the software.
SH2 is a masterpiece, but I HIGHLY recommend playing ALL of the OG trilogy. In release order. In my opinion, SH1 is not only the superior introduction to the franchise, but also a crucial chapter in the series. Plus an outright better game. All of them are very easily acquired and played on any PC-like device made after the Windows XP era. And sorry, but the DEimake is confirmed to be a steaming pile of shiat.
I mean ive played it the first time in may and it dethroned shadow of the colossus as my favorite game and im super picky with the Remake. The way maria delivers the line or that the camera focuses on her hand instead of her face or that when you pick up the flashlight you no longer can see the dress from maria or the bad animations like the 2 frames doging or glas breaking wich dissapears after 1 frame the bad lighting wich makes james look like he is Photoshoped in pre rendered cutscenes all say that blooper has not the talent team silent had. Since may i remember how a youtuber said how he likes it to hang around in the prison and i understand why. You like the art that they have created there and Future generations will experience something that is not that.
THIS. All the shown trailers and gameplay videos demonstrate nothing but some absolutely butchered cinematography. And in a case of a story- and theme-heavy game like SH, that is a massive sin. It does not help that the gameplay is so generic bog-standard PS5 era over-shoulder action game slop, a la Homecoming / TLOU, that it comes off as a pure parody.
Try the fatal frame series and manhunt (made by rockstar)and no the best in the series is silent hill 1 . However, silent hill shattered memories is considered a loose remake of silent hill 1.
I was pretty fascinated by the complete 180° they seem to have made with James (if that's even still the main character's name). Unlike the original where he's totally apathetic and void of emotion as if in a state of constant shock, they instead seem to have made him super emotional, I like the balls in the creativity there, cause let's face it, they're NEVER gonna live up to the original trying to copy it 1:1. However slim the chances might be for them to make a game worthy of calling itself a remake of Silent Hill 2 the only way to go IS to make it their very own version their very own way, and so I like that first sign of such a totally different main character. BUT, then came the combat trailer, which felt so extremely unnecessary to begin with, the fact they even feel like they HAVE to show off the combat feels like a pretty bad sign, Silent Hill 2 was never even ABOUT the combat 🤦 and yeah, even worse still, it didn't even look that good... So I have mixed feelings this far. The original is probably my favorite game of all time so this is a delicate subject for me 😤 I'm trying my hardest not to be too excited but I won't judge it till I've actually tried it.
You can play this, and the entire SH trilogy on PC, for FREE. They are literal abandonware. Emulate #1 with the Duckstation. Get the PC ports of 2-4 + slap the fan fixes (like the Enhanced Edition mod) on top. Or just emulate them with the PCSX2.
This game is not so scary what is terrifying though is the sound design and music. You feel like someone is behind you or its coming closer even though its just music
2's remake is getting backlash because it looks generic schlock that is typically made in today's day in age. For a game as genre defining and legacy holding like Silent Hill 2, "generic modern remake" isn't going to cut it.
Yeh I understand your point, but you can't expect the remake to have the same impact as the og. That's not a goal any developers can ever have because it's not a tangible thing. The cultural impact, artistic innovation and creative genius of the og isn't being remade here; they're just literally modernising the product. It obviously won't be a "game changer" like the og was, even if it's technically better (which it will be)
@@huzidamasta The thing is tho that fans or players of the original aren't expecting the "same impact" as the original. They're expecting a remake that improves the flaws of the original, not a boring dime a dozen third person schlock of a remake that's basically a wannabe The Last Of Us. How would this remake be "technically better" when it literally misses the point in almost every aspect of design or downgrades what the original already did with significantly weaker hardwear? If that's the case then they simply SHOULDN'T bother remaking anything and just make a new entry of Silent Hill and call it a day. Look at the Dead Rising 1 remake, aside from a few moronic changes, the remake STILL captures the point of Dead Rising pretty well since it still has its main gameplay and physics but significantly improved the jankie-ness of the original in order to make it more enjoyable.
@shriderrad4123 sounds like you want a last of us part 1 style remake rather than an re2 style remake. I personally want the latter and that's what I'm seeing, so I'm very happy
@@huzidamasta I rather have none as style remake. I literally was crapping on SH2's remake because it looked like a Last Of Us clone wannabe which again shouldn't be the case for Silent Hill whatsoever.
@shriderrad4123 imo, a remake should have the same vision/goals as the original, but using current technology. The original SH2 was aiming for graphical realism, so if it's being remade, surely graphical realism would be the goal?
Bloober team worked on that remake with pretty low budget, i don't get why people are expecting tlou 2 sort of animation level quality. It really makes no sense
@@YKG-91 Why did Konami even allow such an iconic game to be remade with a low budget? They are better off just not remaking it and doing nothing if its not at least medium budget. I never trust Konami.
@@A-Dubs398 it's not me who decides that, konami are only doing it for the money we all know that. I'am a pes fan and i'm really pissed off about what they did to the game.
@@YKG-91because no matter how much we love the game the reality is Silent Hill (nor any other horror game) is in the same league as Resident Evil financially, unfortunately the Dead Space remake is the best example of a brilliant horror remake done right but it just hasn't drawn the kind of numbers needed for EA to Green light another one, I do think wether this game is good or bad it won't sell that well and Konami will probably give up on it altogether after that.
Still one of my personal favourite survival horror games even to this day. And no, the remake won't be good. It's gotten so bad, that the developers of SH2 Remake are even begging for fans to give it a chance.
Playd silent hill 2 when it first came out back in the 90s silent hill 1 is mutch better and the best silent hill game for me was silent hill the room and down poor
Yea man you're tweaking sh2 remake feels identical to the original game, go ahead and give it a try I thought it would be awful too but I was happy to be so wrong
@@luma9285 I'd never give the remake a try seen it all it's bland dull and Maria sounds bored and wooden she doesn't want to be there when she speaks they have ruined a classic game, I will stick to the original games.
I dont think so but Silent Hill 3 is definitely the game with the best graphics of all time on the Playstation 2 , i remember i played it when i was 12 in 2009 , so many years had passed since it launched, and i was still blown away by its graphics, it really did look like a very strong PlayStation 3 game to me when i first played it, just speaks volumes of the human quality of the developers at Komani 20+ years ago, they haven't gotten even close to that level of quality ever again, even Metal Gear Solid 5 got close.
People hate on the remake over the stupidest shit bruh and it's not even out yet. I think people just hate the idea of it being remade at all and idk why. The original game will always be there. I genuinely don't understand why people are praying on the remakes downfall. And yes I have played Silent Hill 2
I love how (younger) people with next to no touch with the SH franchise and fanbase are the first to attack the fans for criticizing what is already confirmed to be a very generic cash-grab demake. No son, the SH fans don't "just hate everything" for the fun of it. It is one of the friendliest, most talkative communities you'll ever come across... and we have gone through A LOT of sh** the past 20 years, thanks to Kocknami. They sacked the original team and started outright whoring the IP to random Westerners in the late-00s, resulting some of THE most awful games and the most notorious "HD" remasters in history of gaming. Heck, even the original Team Silent devs stated many times that they would HATE remaking this game.
@@j0sjam933they literally said they played the original and you’re saying that they have “no touch” in the franchise??? Your comments make no sense just let people enjoy things
@@Oiiiiii_0111 What you just said proves that there it's not possible to have a reasonable conversation with you. You make no attempt to understand other people's viewpoints and just dismiss it as "nitpicking". Also, how do you know that they "ever actually played a Silent Hill game"? That sounds like yet another cheap way of dismissing something you don't like. I could go over the list of complaints that I have, but you'll just shut them down as "nitpicking" because, in your mind, nobody else is allowed to have complaints about anything. We're supposed to just blindly accept everything we see
I missed out on the first run of this game on the PS2. The. I missed the Hd of silent Hill two and three. So hopefully this remake works out because this the only chance of playing it because. Unfortunately it's way to over priced. So hopefully it's good. So I can finally play it.
First no way to do that. Second that's not illegal to do. Company's own copyrights to their games. On top of that companies have been on a warpath lately on that kind of stuff. So this could possibly be the only way. Unless I find a copy of the game at a decent price.
@@coolguy-wolf It may be illegal, but the blame lies with the seller. Amazon sells a lot of these drives & boxes with thousands of emulated titles, so they’re at fault for distributing it, not the buyer.
HOLY MOLY just play enhanced edition don't torture yourself. Edit: play SH1 if you don't mind the graphics, but while it's tied to 3 you don't really need to play the first one, 3 explains everything. Problem is 3's lore is cultish and satanic so to each their own.
Never in my entire life have I seen such blatant BS being spewed on the YT comment section! SH1 is a MUST PLAY. The one and only SH game that truly matters. If you skip it, you ruin the entire franchise for yourself. SH3 is arguably a pretty meh, unneeded sequel to 1, but still kinda enjoyable horror game. But you will spoil TWO games at once if you start it without finishing SH1, properly. Last, if you are this allergic to PS2 era graphics, you are indeed too underaged plebeian to even comment here.

Then you just control it like most modern games. Such a lifesaver when I first started I was genuinely thinking “If I don’t get better at this it’ll be unplayable”
Please, even if the game is old, just check the settings. It doesn’t hurt. You could be saving yourself some trouble.
One of my favorites of all time
You asked if it would have made more sense to make a remake of the first Silent Hill game. The thing with Silent Hill is that apart from SH 1 and SH3 every game tells it's own self contained story. The only constant is the Town of Silent Hill itself. So SH1 and SH3 tell a story about a cult and SH 3 is basically the sequel to SH1 (and there is also SH Origins which is a prequel to SH1 :D ).
SH2 on the other hand has nothing to do with a cult. It tells the personal story of James and that's it. Additionally, SH2 is considered to be the fan favorite (followed by SH3), so remaking SH2 was probably the best decision. But yeah, it is quite confusing :D
Plus, we already got a reimagining with Shattered Memories, which I personally didn't like all that much. Silent Hill's pretty much gone nowhere since Downpour, so a remake of the second game is one way to reel in the old fans while trying to gain new ones.
I am personally VERY GLAD that these asshats are not BUTCHERING the SH1, the absolutely best game in the franchise. I also absolutely despise the nu-SH2 wannabe fans that try to turn #2 into some sort of standalone spinoff, all while bringing up "MUH CULT!!!!" a hundred time when talking about the rest. No son, SH1 and 3 are VERY personal stories, and the occult stuff is always just a smaller backdrop cog in the bigger picture. 1 outright ignores it. Last but not least: SH1 is the second most popular fan favourite. Been so the past 25 years.
@@GugureSux
Dude relax, I wasn't trying to offend you. More power to you if SH1 is your favorite, I enjoyed it too. I was just trying to answer a question by summarizing the most common views on the franchise 😄
I remember playing the original as a spritely 21-year-old back in 2001, and it instantly became very special to me. Even now in 2024, I still listen to Akira Yamaoka's fantastic soundtrack while drawing. I'm currently almost all the way through the remake, and think Bloober Team have done a really great job. I particularly like the occasional nods back to items/puzzles that were in the original.
It was a product of it's time. That era, that hardware, the group of devs being thrown together by konami etc. There is just no way to recreate that magical combination. Having two og members isn't going to make it great. I don't even think the entire team silent could pull it off again.
The saddest thing is, Bloopooper's entitled twats outright ignored and neglected the TS' guys in the end, shooting down their suggestion of making a brand new game. Masahiro Ito especially has been openly AGAINST remaking the SH2 for many, many years now, and TS in general is known for always trying something new, not rehashing the same thing.
the two OG memebers were forced to make it woke as Konami's contract mentioned... get your facts straight...
So happy people are finally talking about this franchise again, one of my all time favorites. Played every single one except 4
Give 4 a chance, it's better than downpour & homecoming
I understand this generation has grown into visuals and framerate, but back then there was a whole different joy on PS1 and a box Tv and a good game such as this.
Im currently playing the game on PCSX2 on software mode (perfect emulation with 0 glitches, limited to 640x480) on a CRT Monitor at 640x480 interlaced 120hz with calibrated brightness for deep blacks.
Yeah....this game DEFINITELY didn't need a remake.
yeah.. unfortinately people don't understand that, because... as many are mentionning "tank controls are outdated, the aiming sucks, ..."
while here I am with 10 star achievement for every single SH from 1 to 4.
majority just don't give a fuck about the story nor the atmosphere. they want to consume stiff shit action with no solid narration.
Why not PC version?
@@juanme555I don’t understand. The enhanced edition isn’t meant to let you see hidden things. Everything is still as it is, just improved.
@@bombastik_bombWhich makes no sense because believe it or not the tank controls crappy aiming mechanics were like that for a reason. The team silent devs wanted to make you feel like a regular guy with no fighting or shooting experience to make you feel more vulnerable and if anything added to the immersion. It showed you real quick that your not some super human like Leon in re4 or some of these other action/horror games.
@@justinh8774 you don't have to explain that to me mate
Since you were wondering, here's some similar games from the same ps2 era that are pretty unique their own way and worth checking them out: Rule of Rose, Haunting Ground, Clock Tower 3, Siren.
I played the PS2 version via emulartion a couple years ago and wasn't as high on it as most. I think that was mostly due to how I played it.
I used a walkthrough because I sometimes get frustrated with games from that era providing minimal direction. I need to replay it without a walk through.
With emulation of the PS2 version I have little interest in the remake.
And that is the problem. Using a walkthrough because you cannot pass a few parts. Have you ever beaten . . . let's say TMNT for the NES? Or Ninja Gaiden? Even Double Dragon 3? If you have, SH2 shouldn't be a problem.
Aside from maybe some of the puzzles, I really don’t think the Silent Hill games, or PS2 era games in general, are that difficult to follow or progress in? I mean they don’t hold your hand like modern AAA releases, but most games even then certainly weren’t that obtuse.
@@notjakefromstatefarm6969tf do any of those games have to do with Silent Hill 2? lol
I got a second hand SH2 and playing it was one of the best experiences in my life. My wife waiting excited ( and sad) for the vhs tape scene
I got 3 copies of silent Hill 2.... 1 black label and 2 greatest hits.... I don't wanna share

Konami rarely let's me down in the overall quality of their games. If Ubisoft was gonna remake this, then I'd be worried!
Facts lol Ubisoft develops it the whole series would remain ancient
My favorite ps2 game. The modern audience Silent Hill remake will be a disaster.
It will be. They are solely focusing on this "modern audience" that doesn't exist. Not going to support that.
no it wont
@@kidrobot. It will, and it already does. It's a literal Homecoming x TLOU reskin, with the nu-RE4's QTEs and yellow paint meme tacked on it. Not only that, but the cinematography and voice acting is beyond butchered, together with the character's visual design and behavior. Partly because of a darn DEI firm, partly because of pure artistic impotence.
It will just be mid
@@GugureSuxI bet you’re real fun at parties
This is the most hilariously fantastic review of Silent Hill 2 I've ever heard in my life!!! At my age, I've heard a lot! Thank You
Hello Aiden Pearce from watch dogs
Yoo now i know why he looks so familiar
It aged, let's be real. Not as well as say Resident Evil Remake but ignoring the gameplay a bit, it still is a mesmerising experience.
Shadow of the colossus is the perfect example 7:18 was my favorite game before i played silent hill 2
Here is how I know the remake of Silent Hill is going to be pretty damn good. Just go watch the gameplay trailers and cutscenes. Just look at it. Like with your eyes. Looks fuckin good right? Yes. Yes it all does. Looks phenomenal. You won’t putting in that kind of work of fidelity, and showing off your gameplay of your game before it releases if you weren’t confident that it was nothing short of amazing. Don’t think you guys realize what kind of work goes into making these games. It’s a lot. Now I know there are some exceptions… saint Row 2022 looked pretty decent with their trailers and shit but it was a total shit show when it released. But they never showed off gameplay before release. There’s the difference. So relax guys. The Silent Hill 2 remake is going to deliver. I guarantee it.
I already pre order it im hoping for the best. I have a little faith and dont care what the haters says
@@MackDaddyVic it's hillarious to me how people love and praise the Resident Evil 4 Remake and hate on the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
@@VampireA1056People loved RE4R because it was faithful to the original. People are skeptical of SH2 because this is Konami, and because of the shift to over the shoulder. People are also worried that they'll turn it into an action game.
@@TheAbsol7448all valid criticism it doesn't even look like silent hill with that over the camera shoulder and stupid combat
@@VampireA1056 I could tell you why but you wouldn't get it
That's a legendary game, dude, the remake cannot come any close to it.
Them remaking the 2nd game before the first one makes perfect sense, it's an open declaration of what they actually care about...
They are call "tank controls" homie
I always had a special relationship with this game , especially after losing a wife it does hit hard .the remake tried and has its moments but it sacrifices some of the cool stuff that made it epic
when i come over to my friend he forces me to play games he likes and one of those were SIlent Hill 1 to 3. Oh boi i wished i played those when i was younger. Especially SH2 was a masterpiece with its story telling and music.
Please make a Manhunt review
yeah Manhunt is awesome 👌
Seen gameplay of the Remake. Disappointed the camera is stuck strictly tight behind James that you can barely see the environment.
A Kevin video about Silent Hill it not what I expected to see, but I'm definitely in to it.
If you'd like another PS2 game that has weird/unique controls please try Katamari Damacy (or it's remaster on newer gens)! It looks really goofy but once you sit down and play it you realize it actually is one of the goofiest and most fun games you've ever laid your eyeballs on.
Silent Hill 4 is the best one.
Objectively wrong but you do you
Silent Hill 2 will always be one of the greatest games ever made. Still Wakes the Deep was also surprisingly good! So much so I did a quick review of it on my channel due to how short and complete it all felt. Sorta like a 4 - 5 episode mini series you'd find on TV. Great review here by the way! (P.S. play the first one before the 3rd one if you do decide to play the others)
2d controls exist, just go into the options and switch from 3d to 2d, it's a lot eassier to get arround that way
Please talk about alien isolation. That game is soooo damn good
My first time playing this game was in this month i had finish it with 1 and 3 it was the best experience i ever had games really need kinda of imagination
The original is just a piece of art.
every man who worked on it was a pure genius and artist
Same, wouldn't want it any other way. Now I'm a fan and played the og trilogy (may or may not play SH4 one day. Not that excited for it that much.)
The original SH2 will always have a special place in my heart
I first played the original around when it came out. I was still relatively fresh to survival horror at the time but I would say this game was the first and perhaps the only one to ever intimidate the fuck out of me. Games like this were just not heard of at the time. After playing this for a while, when I went back and tried Resident Evil it felt like an episode of scooby doo by comparison.
It's a hard game for the first timers alot of going back to check places out and you have to save every item u get u never know when u might need it
Omg, you sound like Dave Sanderson (Louis C.K.’s character) from Parks and Recreation.
I’m sorry if that doesn’t sit right, but I mean it in the best way!
It's very different of the original some many things are changed thank you to the programmers
I have this game. Thought it was stolen/missing. I ended up finding it. Only regret I have. Is not buying a better copy in 2007. The one I have has a small scratch in the corner. Still plays perfect, though.
Great game. I just beat the HD remastered... It was fine... But got the leave ending and total time 11hours , I got four stars.
This is pretty much my case, I'm halfway the game, a masterpiece, until now I cannot say If I like it more than Sillent Hill 1. I want to take part into the games comparison conversations, I like old 1990 or 2000 games though.
Ive been playing SH2 since '05 and have beaten it multiple times since. While i have low expectations, from what i have seen, it is not the worst thing and have been liking a good amount of what I'm seeing.
Nah mate, that DE-make is literally all the worst fears of any SH fan come true. All the old silly memes joking about "lol what if SH2 was made today?? :D" used as the blueprint.
@@GugureSux I think that's a bit hyperbolic to say all the worst fears. Bloober is not great, but the recent trailer and gaming journalist sites commenting on the time they had with it is more or less what I imagined it to be. I'm going in low expectations and if I'm pleasantly surprised by something then that's cool. There already have been several SH games made by Western developers that were already not the best, and at least this is trying and listening to what more or less made the original a cohesive piece.
One of the greatest games of all time handed off to a D-tier studio by Konami.
Did you capture video with AV or composite cable? The game looks stunning on modern TV screens when using ps2 to HDMI adapter
The gameplay for the remake is fine. Its the changes in the story. Way they speak. Everything was done for a reason.
Playing this on my android phone. Game's pretty good is not a bit confusing at times
The fact that he is talking the half video about the gameplay shows that he does not get why silent hill 2 is such a great game and that the remake fails to replicate that
He doesn't give a shit about the game, he just wants to play the remake. Man legit wants to blindly throw Konami money.
@@christianscellerato5193 too many others will do the same, it honestly makes me sad
Aye y'all crybabies.... SHUT YOUR HOLE😂 now go play it like u was planning u little bitches. Such a bounce of crying ass dildos in here😂😂😂
U guys are ABSOLUTE idiots😂
Hopefully the PC port is solid. It looks amazing on PS5 and I have a high end PC so I’m torn on which version to buy because it might get a bad port.. Who knows.. Hell maybe I’ll just get both versions.
Friend, i know you are in no obligation to know everything that there is to know in this world, but this game controls are the classic Tank Controls that were prevalent in the Resident Evil games for the playstation 1 and Dino Crisis and Silent Hill 1, these controls are sucky but back then everyone and their mothers dominated them.
They make more sense in old RE games since they shift the camera perspective even more than Silent Hill.
Correct info, but I disagree. The "tank controls" never sucked. Literal children, me included, could master them in no time, resulting the later playthroughs (yes, you indeed replayed these games dozens of times) being borderline speedruns. The real-time cinematography of the SH games is in fact so good, that the makers of those (horrible) SH movies copied them almost 1 to 1 into their film.
@@j0sjam933 I was also a child when i played them.
7:27 that's my thoughts when i played silent hill 2 in ps2 a year ago my first silent hill game on ps2
Silent Hill 2 is one of the greatest games ever. However if you want another PS2 game that is unique like this, try the Fatal Frame games. Fatal Frame 2 is one of most unique horror games of that era.
FF2 is very overrated. 1 and 3 are much better games, and survival-horror games too.
I wanna play this game so bad but it's hard to find and expensive as all hell, the most accesable way I can play it is through the HD Collection, and uh....I don't wanna do that.
Just eumlate it on your phone or your pc
@@li81520 I don't think emulating it on my phone would be the best option, also my PC isn't as powerfull as it used to be.

@@li81520 Yeah I played it on my phone and looks and runs good
@@VampireA1056 SH1 is a PS1 game, and thus can be emulated on some early-2000s' Windows 2000 era wormboxes. Similarly, SH2-4 all got real deal PC ports back in the day. Being such old, native PC games, they too run on insanely underwhelming specs. You just slap the Enhanced Edition mod on the SH2, and the latest fan-fixes mentioned on the PC Gaming Wiki site on the other two, and you're good to go! Setup takes like a minute per game, and the SH PC Guide paste bin link provides the software.
SH2 is a masterpiece, but I HIGHLY recommend playing ALL of the OG trilogy. In release order.
In my opinion, SH1 is not only the superior introduction to the franchise, but also a crucial chapter in the series. Plus an outright better game.
All of them are very easily acquired and played on any PC-like device made after the Windows XP era. And sorry, but the DEimake is confirmed to be a steaming pile of shiat.
I mean ive played it the first time in may and it dethroned shadow of the colossus as my favorite game and im super picky with the Remake. The way maria delivers the line or that the camera focuses on her hand instead of her face or that when you pick up the flashlight you no longer can see the dress from maria or the bad animations like the 2 frames doging or glas breaking wich dissapears after 1 frame the bad lighting wich makes james look like he is Photoshoped in pre rendered cutscenes all say that blooper has not the talent team silent had. Since may i remember how a youtuber said how he likes it to hang around in the prison and i understand why. You like the art that they have created there and Future generations will experience something that is not that.
THIS. All the shown trailers and gameplay videos demonstrate nothing but some absolutely butchered cinematography. And in a case of a story- and theme-heavy game like SH, that is a massive sin. It does not help that the gameplay is so generic bog-standard PS5 era over-shoulder action game slop, a la Homecoming / TLOU, that it comes off as a pure parody.
Your comedy is funny 😂😂😂😂
Try the fatal frame series and manhunt (made by rockstar)and no the best in the series is silent hill 1 . However, silent hill shattered memories is considered a loose remake of silent hill 1.
What game was that during 1:24? Thank you pls reply.
Are you KevinGohD or his long lost twin? Edit: just realized you are actually Kevin after seeing the same backdrop LOL
ah thank god that you didn't played the ps3 version
So did I.
I was pretty fascinated by the complete 180° they seem to have made with James (if that's even still the main character's name). Unlike the original where he's totally apathetic and void of emotion as if in a state of constant shock, they instead seem to have made him super emotional, I like the balls in the creativity there, cause let's face it, they're NEVER gonna live up to the original trying to copy it 1:1. However slim the chances might be for them to make a game worthy of calling itself a remake of Silent Hill 2 the only way to go IS to make it their very own version their very own way, and so I like that first sign of such a totally different main character.
BUT, then came the combat trailer, which felt so extremely unnecessary to begin with, the fact they even feel like they HAVE to show off the combat feels like a pretty bad sign, Silent Hill 2 was never even ABOUT the combat 🤦 and yeah, even worse still, it didn't even look that good...
So I have mixed feelings this far. The original is probably my favorite game of all time so this is a delicate subject for me 😤 I'm trying my hardest not to be too excited but I won't judge it till I've actually tried it.
Combat was equal
Focus along with exploration and puzzles combat is the one thing they needed to improve
Never played this one, may need to pick it up if I can find it for a decent price!
You can play this, and the entire SH trilogy on PC, for FREE. They are literal abandonware.
Emulate #1 with the Duckstation. Get the PC ports of 2-4 + slap the fan fixes (like the Enhanced Edition mod) on top. Or just emulate them with the PCSX2.
This game is not so scary what is terrifying though is the sound design and music. You feel like someone is behind you or its coming closer even though its just music
6:08 silent hill 2 is a very easy game even on standard what are you talking about. Just press r2 and x and you win.
Really? :)))
@@1.Crocxy yes
So did millions of other people...Back in 2001.
I hope they bring it to the Xbox store soon
Playstation has a one year exclusivity deal on consoles for the remake so Xbox wont receive a port until October 2025 at the earliest.
2's remake is getting backlash because it looks generic schlock that is typically made in today's day in age. For a game as genre defining and legacy holding like Silent Hill 2, "generic modern remake" isn't going to cut it.
Yeh I understand your point, but you can't expect the remake to have the same impact as the og. That's not a goal any developers can ever have because it's not a tangible thing. The cultural impact, artistic innovation and creative genius of the og isn't being remade here; they're just literally modernising the product. It obviously won't be a "game changer" like the og was, even if it's technically better (which it will be)
@@huzidamasta The thing is tho that fans or players of the original aren't expecting the "same impact" as the original. They're expecting a remake that improves the flaws of the original, not a boring dime a dozen third person schlock of a remake that's basically a wannabe The Last Of Us.
How would this remake be "technically better" when it literally misses the point in almost every aspect of design or downgrades what the original already did with significantly weaker hardwear? If that's the case then they simply SHOULDN'T bother remaking anything and just make a new entry of Silent Hill and call it a day. Look at the Dead Rising 1 remake, aside from a few moronic changes, the remake STILL captures the point of Dead Rising pretty well since it still has its main gameplay and physics but significantly improved the jankie-ness of the original in order to make it more enjoyable.
@shriderrad4123 sounds like you want a last of us part 1 style remake rather than an re2 style remake. I personally want the latter and that's what I'm seeing, so I'm very happy
@@huzidamasta I rather have none as style remake. I literally was crapping on SH2's remake because it looked like a Last Of Us clone wannabe which again shouldn't be the case for Silent Hill whatsoever.
@shriderrad4123 imo, a remake should have the same vision/goals as the original, but using current technology. The original SH2 was aiming for graphical realism, so if it's being remade, surely graphical realism would be the goal?
Judging by the trailers the remake will be blunt and stupid, nothing like the original, so it's a very wise thing to play the original first.
just give Bloober team a chance, lets see what they can do.
Bloober team worked on that remake with pretty low budget, i don't get why people are expecting tlou 2 sort of animation level quality. It really makes no sense
@@YKG-91 Why did Konami even allow such an iconic game to be remade with a low budget? They are better off just not remaking it and doing nothing if its not at least medium budget. I never trust Konami.
@@A-Dubs398 it's not me who decides that, konami are only doing it for the money we all know that. I'am a pes fan and i'm really pissed off about what they did to the game.
@@YKG-91because no matter how much we love the game the reality is Silent Hill (nor any other horror game) is in the same league as Resident Evil financially, unfortunately the Dead Space remake is the best example of a brilliant horror remake done right but it just hasn't drawn the kind of numbers needed for EA to Green light another one, I do think wether this game is good or bad it won't sell that well and Konami will probably give up on it altogether after that.
@@redplanet667 i agree mate
Can I still point and laugh till the release of the remake?

I dont think so but Silent Hill 3 is definitely the game with the best graphics of all time on the Playstation 2 , i remember i played it when i was 12 in 2009 , so many years had passed since it launched, and i was still blown away by its graphics, it really did look like a very strong PlayStation 3 game to me when i first played it, just speaks volumes of the human quality of the developers at Komani 20+ years ago, they haven't gotten even close to that level of quality ever again, even Metal Gear Solid 5 got close.
Why does it sound like he's never touched a survival horror game in his life before?
He clearly hasn't. He keeps commenting how the controls were "weird" and obviously skipped SH1. Doubt he has ever even touched RE1-3, the originals.
You should have got the Greatest Hits version.
People hate on the remake over the stupidest shit bruh and it's not even out yet. I think people just hate the idea of it being remade at all and idk why. The original game will always be there. I genuinely don't understand why people are praying on the remakes downfall. And yes I have played Silent Hill 2
I love how (younger) people with next to no touch with the SH franchise and fanbase are the first to attack the fans for criticizing what is already confirmed to be a very generic cash-grab demake. No son, the SH fans don't "just hate everything" for the fun of it. It is one of the friendliest, most talkative communities you'll ever come across... and we have gone through A LOT of sh** the past 20 years, thanks to Kocknami. They sacked the original team and started outright whoring the IP to random Westerners in the late-00s, resulting some of THE most awful games and the most notorious "HD" remasters in history of gaming. Heck, even the original Team Silent devs stated many times that they would HATE remaking this game.

is this kevgohd?
Yup
Why? I played it last year. I don’t wish I played it sooner.
I missed out on the first run of this game on the PS2. The. I missed the Hd of silent Hill two and three. So hopefully this remake works out because this the only chance of playing it because. Unfortunately it's way to over priced. So hopefully it's good. So I can finally play it.
Emulation...
First no way to do that. Second that's not illegal to do. Company's own copyrights to their games. On top of that companies have been on a warpath lately on that kind of stuff. So this could possibly be the only way. Unless I find a copy of the game at a decent price.
@@coolguy-wolf It may be illegal, but the blame lies with the seller. Amazon sells a lot of these drives & boxes with thousands of emulated titles, so they’re at fault for distributing it, not the buyer.
Same brother
HOLY MOLY just play enhanced edition don't torture yourself.
Edit: play SH1 if you don't mind the graphics, but while it's tied to 3 you don't really need to play the first one, 3 explains everything. Problem is 3's lore is cultish and satanic so to each their own.
Never in my entire life have I seen such blatant BS being spewed on the YT comment section! SH1 is a MUST PLAY. The one and only SH game that truly matters.
If you skip it, you ruin the entire franchise for yourself. SH3 is arguably a pretty meh, unneeded sequel to 1, but still kinda enjoyable horror game. But you will spoil TWO games at once if you start it without finishing SH1, properly. Last, if you are this allergic to PS2 era graphics, you are indeed too underaged plebeian to even comment here.
