@@denzelle120There are actually many reasons: 1. During the final days of Mary's illness, she became verbally abusive towards James 2. James wanted to end Mary's suffering 3. James killed Mary for selfish reasons , in order to free himself from a doomed, sexless relationship due to her illness.
More like if James had not only been more patient but also understanding of Mary as she is a dying woman who was just in pain, and has given what she needed as opposed to resorting for a quick escape so he can get away from it all.

i'm sorry i got mixed with a book of memories and silent hill origin. Now I remember that Silent Hill is showing to Laura. Empty but vibrant and innocent town.
@@jasonh6207 Laura is real. She interacts with both James and Eddie even when James isn't there at all, she doesn't see the monsters (Like Maria does), and she has actual physical letters from Mary before she died (James had a blank piece of paper). Silent Hill appears differently to different people so the fact that she can interacts with real people like James and Eddie and seemingly has her own safe and fun version of Silent Hill means she's real and the town doesn't do anything to her
The amount of joy this remake has brought to fhe fans is insane. Thank you Bloober Team. You guys started because of Silent Hills and here we are ten years later, with Silent Hill 2 saving the franchise. Thank you Team Silent, Thank you Bloober Team Thank you for Silent Hill.
We'll have to see how good it sells first, it's not definitive that this will save the franchise. And it doesn't seem like it's selling well, but we'll have to see.
@@brunoactis1104 Sales alone aren't exactly a measure of a game's quality. Though in terms of saving a series on life-support like Silent Hill up to this point, it's still very important.
It's cool how you can see how close you'd have to be to some stuff for them to be rendered in, because with the fog, you wouldn't really be able to see it from that distance.
Well you can still tell on PC when you cross those points because of the good old Unreal Engine traversal stutter (doesn't matter your spec). Just see the Digital Foundry video. Still loved the remake a ton. Just hope Bloober can improve that aspect. I don't blame them totally though since stutter with UE on PC has been a known thing for a long time.
@@sean8102 only way to fix stutter is to make the game again on higher version of UE5 that fixed this. Most games now or releasing in next 3 years will be using UE5 1.1 that has traversal stutter.
It's incredible to see the entire town of Silent Hill in such incredible detail here. I can actually see the streets and the buildings. Blooper Team did an incredible job making the entire town here.
Even with fog off, the game looks incredible. Genuinely a testament to the effort they put in design and fidelity. Just a shame they didn't take the genius artistic decisions of the original making some scenes look ass in comparison (like the first Maria meeting). Still love this gome tho.
This must be close to Laura's vision of the town, just without the monsters. It can't be possible that she is the normal world because she infiltrated in zone that must be people who stopped her, like the hotel, the hospital or even the movie theater.
It honestly does look good without all the fog. It would be nice to have like a official cheat option to toggle the fog and have a sunny weather after beating the main story.
I'll be honest. The game looks and gives off this eerie vibe in both perspectives, with and without fog. The fog variant gives off this vibe that there is something about to lunge at you at any given moment, especially in the deeper parts of the fog. It also gives off this mysterious vibe, because you're unaware what lies ahead of you. This mod shows how incredibly well and unique the town and such are designed. Every building feels and looks different, the overall vibe is also ''eerie'' but in a completely different sense. Both variants seem 'hopelessness' in their own way.
Imagine after getting a good ending you get to play, your objetive is to leave but everything is sunny, all the windows you broke, monsters you killed, all the blood is gone. Your reward is to see silent hill as Laura sees it.
the lod wouldn't save that much performance since it already reduces poly count at a distance. Most modern engines do, and this is on UE5 so i'd imagine objects at a distance are a low resource. If anything the most demanding resource probably IS the fog 🤣with lighting being second.
I have a mod that tries to improve the graphics called "SH2 Essentials" I recommend giving it a try. Doesn't hurt performance. But this mod is certainty fun to look at!
