This was such an amazing video. I'm glad I stumbled upon it. I've always been open to any SH game getting remade. I just can't stand the way a lot of people are set on treating this remake like it can do no wrong. We should be able to critique things w/o people acting like any criticism is toxic criticism. Toxic positivity exists as well. ~*For me the overall tone & personality of this remake & it's characters are wrong. It's how the characters act & talk, not what they wear. The dialog, the voice acting is so wrong. The vibe & personality of each character is just wrong. Eddie is the only one they did well. The voice actor actually did well & they designed him really well. The personality & attitudes of the other character tho is just wrong. It sounds like they don't understand their characters or what is the correct tone they should be going for throughout the game. I hope it will be good. I'm just worried this game will treat us like a kid. Holding our hands with Button prompts, Toned down storytelling, censored sensitive topics, you name it. Hopefully they do NOT do that. Hopefully they don't approach this like: "we don't wanna make people too uncomfortable" because this game is meant to make people uncomfortable. If they aren't okay with creating an uncomfortable, inappropriate game then they really picked the wrong team to make a game such as this. I wish the fog was more intense. It could be a lot darker, forcing you to really rely on your flashlight & your radio. It would be cool if they sometimes used dynamic fixed camera angles or gave us the option to turn it on in the settings. I'm okay with them making some changes. There are ways many things can be changed and still hold the same core of this game. I hope they find ways to achieve that. (it is annoying how divided and out of control a lot of people are getting. I wish things weren't so weirdly divided. Then some counter the critical people with a sorta Toxic Positivity. I wish valid criticism could be heard and addressed. It will be nice if things can chill out and we can get back to being able to critique things in a healthy way again lol)
I think they got a lot of stuff right but missed a lot of things too. What was instantly noticeable was the voice acting was more cinematic and less surreal. People always criticize the original's voice acting, but don't realize the team were inspired by David Lynch who was really good at making dialogue with a strong dreamlike quality (i.e. Twinpeaks). Bloober also fell into the same trap SH4 fell into. When you emphasize more combat, the monsters become more of an annoyance than something to be afraid of, despite their disturbing designs. I understand they were just trying to increase the playtime since the original was pretty short, but that came at the expense of terror. It feels like they were remaking Silent Hill 2 the game, and not the work of art.
Do you plan on making a video on the Remake? Would love to hear your thoughts. Original Silent Hill 2 is my favourite game of all time and I recently completed the remake...... Thankfully it was amazing. They captured the atmosphere perfectly and the feeling of it.
The truth is I'm looking forward to seeing your opinion of the remake. In my case I didn't like it and I'm not going to say more. This has nothing to do with it but I hope you give SH1 a chance, it's very scary and has a connection with SH3.
