      I am here to just shame Jake if I may. Going a bit back, but you guys talked about Fallout series in FPS podcast, Lucy mentioned how much she loves watching Michael Emerson, and Jake DIDN"T KNOW WHO HE was. Excuse me, but there is this thing called Dark Knight returns, you guys probably never heard of it. And they made Animated adaptation of it which was brilliant, and Michael Emerson played one character, you guys probably never heard of him, his name is Joker I think... Michael Emerson's Joker is widely considered as one of the all time best, his version was one terrifying sick psychopat. So yeah Jake, we need to take your geek card please, you should freaking know who Michael Emerson is.

      It's just another Sweet Baby Inc Dumpster Fire. Just another Remake created in the vain of Wokeness to appeal to a "Modern Audience" that doesn't exist. I'm ditching the DEI slop and I'm going back to Emulating the PS2 version of Silent Hill 2. Can't even get a good Remake of a beloved game because the Wokies can't keep their tendrils off everyone else's stuff.

      Thank you! I’ve been saying this ever since this game was first announced. Most people jumped into the silent hill series with SH2, remaking the first game would expose the original game to a lot of people. SH2 is such a classic and I feel it has no chance to live up to the original SH2.

    Silent Hill 2 is my favorite piece of media entertainment of all time. I do not care about the combat, or how detailed the visuals are persay, I really only care about the story, lore, and fundamentals of the psychology being correct and intact. Even if one were to extend it, add to it, deepen it, fine, as long as it is all airtight correct, because the originals deep lore was very intentional and perfectly executed. You change that, and you do not have Silent Hill 2.

      People need to stop with the just outright sky is falling attitude when it comes to this. I am a Silent Hill fan and ever since 4 Weezer head the game that is a travesty or something that doesn't capture the tone or pacing of The Originals. From what I've seen and especially from the gameplay footage we just have recently seen it looks like the team actually cares. I'm looking forward to this because I'd rather have something celebrating the past that will at least put Silent Hill back in the minds of the industry. Would you rather just keep it dead?
      Konami obviously gave them a decent budget. It's going to be different so just accept that and put away the pitchforks until we get the full game. We haven't seen gloom and doom Worthy previews yet outside of the unlimited ammo trailer Konami first put out. As a fan I'm glad this is at least happening and it doesn't look like pure trash. It could actually be good, but we don't know yet. I'm just saying a filter would be nice to have on top of that hope. No need to s*** on the possible filter too.

    I'm such an evangelist for this game, but if you're looking for that OG Silent Hill fix I *highly* recommend SIGNALIS if you haven't played it yet. Really nails that old school RE/SH vibe but still very much its own thing. It's like $25 on Steam, and a play-through takes like 10-ish hours. It just oozes atmosphere, mystery, and emotion. It's a must-play if you like SH.

      SH2 started the "it's trauma" trope which has become most copied trope in psychological driven horror games. Which is so unfortunate. Because I think SH2 was an experimental deviation that turned into an accidental masterpiece that badly overshadowed the other 3 original games (1, 3, 4), in which "The Order" cult had become a largely forgotten aspect of Silent Hill. Silent Hill is now best looked at, and remembered for "it's trauma" trope, rather than the mystery of the "The Order" cult.

    My concern is that the original had a genius-level amount of attention to detail that all came together to create the atmosphere that awestruck audiences and left that everlasting impression. Replicating that without fully understanding all the nuances and reasoning behind all the artistic decisions can only lead to a general downgrade, not in the gameplay or the visual fidelity but in the atmosphere and the atmosphere is where a game like Silent Hill lives or dies. If they change a lot but can still capture the same level of horror and futility the original did (or even come close) I'd say it's a huge success, but I will not be holding my breath.

      It doesn't feel like much was changed, the biggest one is Angela's design, and even that doesn't feel random as she resembles earlier sketches. The only thing which could alter it is the brand new content, most likely based on concepts for the game too, that's what has the potential to be better or worse to me.

    • @VyxelOP

      @@Harsh-mg2em ? a ton was changed. The entire lead-up to the patient demon was completely different. All the character models are different. The delivery of the character lines. The monster models are quite different (especially the patient demon). The monster animations completely different. The environment is a good bit brighter. The hospital looked almost unrecognizable. The perspective is completely different.
      Not all of that was bad though, I'm intrigued by the new environments and how the perspective change will play out. Map and item interaction was a neat touch. Graphically it looked pretty good (animations not so much).
      But at the end of the day, the question remains if all those changes end up working against the sense of dread and overall atmosphere of the game as well as how many underlying themes get severed because a change that seems like it wouldn't matter actually erases symbolism that was used in building the game world for those of us who delved deep into the lore and meaning of things.
      To the average person it may not seem to matter. But everything in the original was heavily laden with symbolism and multi-entendre which really fleshed the world out and added so many layers to the psychological horror. Even as an unknowing player, removing/changing a lot of that could still greatly impact the experience without the player being able to articulate why.

      I get some things, like you can think the lead up to the first enemy worked better in the first game, but it's not something that stood out to me as bad, I might feel differently about other events if they change them.
      I think a lot of what you describe as changes as also generational leaps, the voice acting in the original feels a little cheesy now, at least in my opinion, and the enviroment just looks more realistic. I only played SH2 a little with my friend, but we both loved seeing how empty and hauted the hospital felt here.

Also I recall having to pull up the map several times to see where I've been and where I need to go and I found the whole gameplay Loop sometimes pretty tedious and I remember an underground Subway section that really threw me off and really confused me so some parts of that were not so great so I'm okay with the revisions and I hope it's a more cohesive experience

Maybe them keeping the fixed cameras could've distinguished them from the Resident Evil remakes; but that's the problem, I don't think they want to distinguish themselves from that, I think they (probably Konami) want this remake to fall into that exact same REmake market despite the fact they are entirely different franchises that do different things well.

    I'm curious as to your thoughts for where the next entry in the God of War franchise could go. Kratos has gone from violent maniac to pensive father, and I'm interested in where you think the series will go next. Do you think an Atreus adventure is viable, or will Sony Santa Monica tap back into Kratos' rage issues for subsequent installments? Personally I think that dragging Kratos back to protect his family would be too similar to the Norse saga, and a new installment where Kratos renews his bloodlust could undo his growth from the newest games and the Valhalla DLC.
