This to me is hilarious, because back in the day there was a rumor you could make Maria dance for James at Heavens Night with a button combo. Back before the internet removed all the mystery about what a game included, I honestly love that the devs included a nod to the community and fandom from back then.
The way he's looking at the glass at 3:28 did he use to be a heavy drinker to cope with Mary being gone and he's resisting the urge? Maybe I'm over thinking but it's fun to speculate.
@@ButteredToastHero one of my problems with the remake aswell. Her outfit is suppose to have a wild look to it and it being covered up contradicts the point of the story. I see no point in them not giving her original appearance. So James perfect version of Mary is a cute office worker? Doesn't make sense.
@Butteredtoasthero because the original fans had a misguided notion she resembled James list when she was actually just the idealized and healthy version of Mary that’s James wanted her to be That’s why they made her look like a seductive escort instead of a gas station hooker
3:16 This is where I jumped on my seat and realised that giving this game to Bloober was the best thing that could happen to SH2. They felt the context so good it's incredible.
@@ligondesenuts769Nah, women just call everything "gaslighting" now. If you don't agree with everything they say, you're "gaslighting" them. Just like according to women on the internet, apparently 9 out of 10 people are narcissists. Narcissist and gaslighting are the most overused female buzz words.
This maria just feels like another girl Although you can pretty much tell how obviously manipulative the OG maria is, the remake Maria are still much manipulative, she just keep it subtle.
This scene WAS PERFECT every inch of it. The passing was so OG and the characters acting was so good and the dialogue added a lot to know the character, giving you hints about the way that james is and making you ask yourself why doesn't he wants to drink? what is the problem? and the way he moves his hands like he wants but he contains is beautifully made.
My father played the original back when he was a teen. Now he played with me the remake, and laughed over how Maria dancing was an urban legend back then. He actually complimented how she looked now, and the fact that she was more emotional could add to her gaslighting tendencies. He loved her design ( and her old one too ) and says it looks like Mary’s but the opposite side of the spectrum. Mary has a cardigan and pleated dress, while Maria has a leather jacket and tight dress.
@@СерхиоБускетс-ф7я You don't get it. It was an Urban Legend in the OG Silent Hill 2 that Maria will appear and do a pole dance for the players if they meet certain requirements.
I was watching my friend play it and its incredible I was gonna pre order it but I'll probably wait until it releases $60 for a standard edition game tho and yes I get it we're on the ps5 now games are gonna be more expensive it makes sense.
This comment section has some wild takes-seeing people complain that Maria has 'lost her beauty' or 'looks like a man' (one comment even said her jaw is too masculine) is really off. To me, the point of her character was never just about how sexualized she was. Personally, I've always seen Maria as a representation of the present or future, while Mary symbolizes the past. James' neglect of Maria throughout the game-because he's too focused on finding Mary-shows how he's unable to move on from the past. His obsession with Mary blinds him to Maria's presence, which could represent James' refusal to accept the present or imagine a future without his wife. It’s more about psychological depth than physical appearance, and I think that’s where the remake should keep its focus.
I think Maria looks fine in the remake but her being sexualized is part of the games narrative and what she’s supposed to represent essentially her being the ideal version that James wanted Mary to be
Maria in the remake is incredible. I felt the violent wish to stop search of Mary and to be with Maria during these flirting moments. I think that`s because of great work of developers and actors. They really did te great job so you can just feel the energy of naughty and flirting of Maria.
@@snatchr2451this design is actually more faithful to the original since THIS IS the original concept art for maria in the original game. No meaning has been changed just a nod to the first director at team silent. It's just nitpicking at this point
Now that I'm watching this added scene twenty three years later i have to say developers were slow on catching this moment between those two... very intimate, just two of them...
Many people love complaining. I thought they did a great job with Maria and the remake in general. I just see this as a different interpretation, and people seem way too focused on comparing it to the original, which I get because it's a remake, but different doesn't mean bad.
They did a great job! I'm rather pleased after playing the original. Anyone complaining is either a kid who can't help themselves because their brain is still developing, or it's just someone bitter because their lives are shit after how many years since the original released, lol.

@@mihaelkennedy prepubescent r3tards in the comment section are wild, you gonna be ok with all that mouth breathing and coping you’re dealing with?? Aww poor pathetic loser.
What made sh2 so memorable was how odd the characters talked and acted. It gave the game this beautifully weird tone that was unique to sh2. Seeing them talk and act like normal people is just odd and makes it feel like every other horror game. The VAs are great tho.
I always thought Maria was supposed to be an embodiment of James’s lust and slightly troubling sexual desires. Hence why she acts the way she acts and why in the original game she was dressed to look somewhat like a sex worker. Why have they made her look like she’s on her way to the office of an insurance company?!
Because the original game has nothing to do with sexual desires and lust, those are things that people made up and kept pushing further. Maria is nothing more than what james wanted mary to be again, healthy and beautiful, she is a perfect version of mary, so the design do not destroy the original symbolism. IMPORTANT EDIT: I dind't make myself clear in this comment, the game game has a sexual subtext, it deals with your psych, specially with freudian theories, the game has sexual connotations yes but is far from being the most important part of the main plot, and james as a character, people keep pushing further that james is just a sexual frustrated guy that killed his wife because of lack of sex (a complete misunderstanding) every emotion and feeling is connected, even more in james case that felt a lot of emotions during the last 3 years, one thought pulls other, but the sexual side of james is FAR from being the main point of the character and the story.
Insurance company lol but yeah you are correct, she is literally born out of James mind and what he would imagine what Maria would be like if she is never sick. In the Directors cut go play "Born from a wish" it gives more insight in Maria and she magically shows up out of nowhere searching for somebody.
@@tomasrio1981 Well... that PH scene with that nurse... yup. It has everything to do with sexual desire.. where do you think those faceless sexy nurse come from?
she looked like a stripper and that could of explain to James how she got the key to the doors ;) In the new one they might of be afraid to go with that kind of clothes on her. They played "safe".
There's some speculation, some say it's to make her look less like a sex worker to appeal to more people and others who speculate it's to make her look more like the original concept sketches of her. Probably a mixture of both.
bc that wasn't what she was originally supposed to look like. if u look up maria's original concept art by takayoshi sato, her design is much more similar to this one and her outfit in the remake is the one she was originally SUPPOSED to have in the original before it was changed to the christina aguilera look (which is still super iconic, but this one is equally as nice)
They didn’t haha and it shows in all her scenes. People say the VA is bad but she did a marvelous job unfortunately was misguided and misdirected by someone who does not understand Maria at all. So much for Born from a wish DLC
@Xammie98 that's what I've been saying too. The script changes cut scene angles, and some environments were also changed...which has a massive impact for the worse! No hate for any of the acting, they all did a great job.
@@Xammie98 yup, not v/a issue but more of a direction overall. I'd say that all of the characters in comparison to original ones feels flat, no expression, almost like taken from some cheap tv show and it hurts cuz graphics are great, especially locations surroundings.
@@jarret45briefly, i always felt like she played into James character more, the way she gets inside of his head and adds to his suffering and desire while still yet being tortured herself. Both needing yet not meant to be able to save each other. The original used the same model for Mary and Maria. For example one major difference which I didn't care for was when he talks to her in the cell. She touches his face and the shot is change from behind James looking at her with her hand on his face to just a close of of James face with her hand there. I also think that some of the odd delivery lines, uncanny nature, and abstract rooms add to the personal hell like state that all of the characters seem to be in without realizing it. The original was really yet surreal making the characters and player feel lost and confused, trying to make sense of everything. The excellent acting acting takes all of that away, which you could argue takes a way a huge psychological aspect. Just my take, which I also think is great about the original. More room for interpretation and discussion. Anyway I'm still happy with the remake and the great reviews, the more eyes on Silent Hill the better.
Maria looked pretty awful in the original, and I’m not sure why so many of these balding millennials are hyping it up so much, though it probably doesn't matter. The revitalized version of Maria is far more believable, and the voice acting in this remake is leagues better than the low-budget feel of the original Silent Hill 2. Credit to the original voice actors; they did their best with what limited direction and skill they had. Now that Silent Hill is following in Resident Evil's footsteps with remakes, I’m excited to see what’s in store for the franchise. After nearly 20 years of being dead in the water, it desperately needed reworking and modernizing to stand a chance in today's fast-evolving gaming industry.
You don't seem to understand anything about the game. because I don’t understand how anyone can like this voice acting and appearance. People love Maria not for her looks, I never thought she was beautiful
I feel like the more I saw og scenes and models of Maria, I see what’s attractive about her. That and her outfit being based off of a picture of Christina Aguilera.
The initial route from the entrance to the city center was boring, while the first path already indicated that you were entering purgatory. Lower opacity and sharpness of the environment and background objects compared to the avatar (you notice that some trees in the background are less sharp and this takes away the effect of contrast. and depth -- which is what makes us feel lost and abandoned and afraid). Lack of tricks and scenes with very subtle and insightful psychological effects (such as very specific and mystical locations and an inspiration here or there, for example, moans or noises in the closed bathroom, that scene with James listening to a radio quiz program, etc. ) They could have made James see some canonical character wandering around from afar. Angela with a "delicate" and "rational" appearance, while the original had a small physiognomy and altitude and tone of voice that generated some distrust about her mental consistency. Very "teen friendly" game, a bit of a "yellow flag", removing the brutality, bloodletting, latent sexuality, suspense and desperation of the original 4. In many moments there is more action than suspense, it is even tiring, to the point that it seems predominantly Resident Evil 4. James with a gun didn't win me over. I still think an ordinary, sedentary citizen with schizophrenia and in a symptomatic state uses weapons and avoids them. He looks like a different person... almost athletic. Did they polish? but I still feel that modeling clay effect in the graphics, which for me takes away part of the naturalness and realism. For me, the Remake still rings in my ears that in many moments it is something generic and more of the same.
@@chiyuu_h Then they did a terrible job at rendering the faces because these new character models somehow look less realistic/human than the (cinematic) versions from the OG game.

2:31 why she's hand looks like that😅
I always thought Maria was supposed to be an embodiment of James’s lust and slightly troubling sexual desires. Hence why she acts the way she acts and why in the original game she was dressed to look somewhat like a sex worker. Why have they made her look like she’s on her way to the office of an insurance company?!
Because the original game has nothing to do with sexual desires and lust, those are things that people made up and kept pushing further. Maria is nothing more than what james wanted mary to be again, healthy and beautiful, she is a perfect version of mary, so the design do not destroy the original symbolism.

You don't seem to understand anything about the game. because I don’t understand how anyone can like this voice acting and appearance. People love Maria not for her looks, I never thought she was beautiful
@@СерхиоБускетс-ф7я you are old and past your time, new gen loves remake. its time to move on boomer
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 the new generation does not know what quality games are. you don't like remakes, but poorly made games for 70 bucks.
I feel like the more I saw og scenes and models of Maria, I see what’s attractive about her. That and her outfit being based off of a picture of Christina Aguilera.
Fast evolving?lol what evolution? Most games play and look the same
Blooper Team shouldn't have changed the dialogue so much

Original maria is better. This new version is just way to subtle in her performance.
Shut up
Disagree
Kinda hard to take her seriously with the giant head and man haw they gave her.
Oh no no not DEI chin bros....
The initial route from the entrance to the city center was boring, while the first path already indicated that you were entering purgatory. Lower opacity and sharpness of the environment and background objects compared to the avatar (you notice that some trees in the background are less sharp and this takes away the effect of contrast. and depth -- which is what makes us feel lost and abandoned and afraid). Lack of tricks and scenes with very subtle and insightful psychological effects (such as very specific and mystical locations and an inspiration here or there, for example, moans or noises in the closed bathroom, that scene with James listening to a radio quiz program, etc. ) They could have made James see some canonical character wandering around from afar. Angela with a "delicate" and "rational" appearance, while the original had a small physiognomy and altitude and tone of voice that generated some distrust about her mental consistency. Very "teen friendly" game, a bit of a "yellow flag", removing the brutality, bloodletting, latent sexuality, suspense and desperation of the original 4. In many moments there is more action than suspense, it is even tiring, to the point that it seems predominantly Resident Evil 4. James with a gun didn't win me over. I still think an ordinary, sedentary citizen with schizophrenia and in a symptomatic state uses weapons and avoids them. He looks like a different person... almost athletic. Did they polish? but I still feel that modeling clay effect in the graphics, which for me takes away part of the naturalness and realism. For me, the Remake still rings in my ears that in many moments it is something generic and more of the same.
What is with that man jaw? lol
ITS MA'AM!
One joke. Rent free… Oh well. Guess you can’t expect much else from chuds who have never been beyond mom’s basement.
I know, right? 😂 And no one talks about her jaw 3 times bigger than an adult male has.
She is the man in the room for sure
She looks off lol

Toluca mall Leon and Ashley
They predate Leon and Ashley by years

Jesus the character models look so off putting and disproportionate, what a shame.
Bestie, you do know that the mocap actor has those right?, and you know how mocap works right?
@@chiyuu_hNigg4 shut up
Like real people?
@@chiyuu_h Then they did a terrible job at rendering the faces because these new character models somehow look less realistic/human than the (cinematic) versions from the OG game.
@@madamefluffy4788I’m sorry I get having issues with the remake but your straight up lying saying that the OG cutscenes looked better then this
