  • I was intrigued to see the difference between the HD and original story trailers for Silent Hill 2. I spliced the HD and Original trailers together to find what similarities there were in scenes with the Remake Story Trailer. I hope you enjoy.

    Though I like both remake Maria and the og, I definitely prefer the new Eddie. His performance looks more believable as a tortured soul who has suffered psychological abuse for too long, finally snapped, and is now practically dead inside with nothing left to to spur him on but to violently unleash all that pent up bitterness. OG Eddie felt more like a sadistic psycho who just discovered his true nature.

      2 interpretations, both good. But I am for sure here for the remake version more than the OG. And I reckon that is amazing the remake can give that to us.

    when i hear maria original vs remake, the voice in the original it feels like calming she is trying ti let james feels safe but in the remake it is more sinister and let you feels how is james feels confused what can i trust what is going on, the voice acting is on point i love it

      Two different approaches from the actors but both equally effective to tell the story. Something isn't quite right. Something is unsettling. But James's confusion remains.

      @@thatswitchy Imho original one is better. Maria in OG sounds caring, empathetic and that makes us, the player, and James feel that something is of. She acts like Mary would and it only fuels this psychological horror. The moment when James ask her is she is who she is, she switches her warm mannerism to this cold, ruthless one. It's Silent Hill trying to mimik person James knew and loved, but in so strange way that it can't fool him, and when he starts to have doubts, it just shows it's true colours. It's all gone in remake. Maria sounds mechanical and cold from the get go - it just kills all the tension and horror.

      @@thatswitchy do You people cant read with understanding? I stated clearly that prison scene in comparison between OG and remake is better in OG for reasons I pointed out in previous comment. Your vid is comparison between 2 trailers, yet You - I do not know for what reason - brings whole game for context. It doesnt matter how her mannerism looks like in remake. If she is like this - mechanical - entire time on screen than its even more worrying. She is suppoused to be seductive, hight esteem, assertive (in term of speaking her mind) character. Not to mention she felt weird as much as her first appearance. When James finds her again, she acts more innocent, warm, empathetic - the way Mary did, cuz thats how James remembered her before she got sick. Thats the image of her which Silent Hill picked from James memories and mimiked, but since its total opposite of how James know Maria, he is disturbed which makes the city to stop Maria playing her act, something which is even more cold, strange and unnerving. Silent Hill uses her to play with James mind, guilt, hopes and fesrs creating only more paranoia. This very same scene with Maria is just bad. Somehow they got Mary scenes right, as good as OG trailer.

      There were a few trailers too plus the opening trailer. I think both have done a good job 👍🏼 and the minute that song hits, your taken off to Silent Hill. It’s so classic. I am glad they kept the soundtrack from the original and re-recorded it for the remake.

      We’ve only seen part of the Maria conversation so far just like in the original. So we’ll have to wait to see the full one. I’ve not played re4 yet but do have the original because I’d like to play that first.
      I’m not sure if you’ve played or seen dead space and it’s remake. They did a similar thing in there too, changed a few things but it still worked as a stand alone game. I didn’t like they reveal the main characters face at the start though. That wasn’t the case in the original.

      Most opinions are that sometimes with a male dominated company or people trying to be sensitive end up overcorrecting, instead of letting the character be what was meant for the story.

    New Maria's just shooting her lines without any passion. No intonation, no pauses, nothing... They didn't even try to recreate original tone of voice...

    • @thatswitchy
      @thatswitchy  22 дні тому +1

      In my opinion, I don't think they were trying to recreate it. Each actor when they take on a role brings their interpretation based on how they understand a character. There are also generational styles of acting. The benefit we do have is mocap with these actors, unlike the VA's from 2001. This will change the approach.
      I understand the approach of the new Maria is more sinister aware, perhaps trying to not hide her awareness of who she is to James to James's face in this scene as much as the previous interpretation.

    I'm surprised most don't point this out, but the remake just lacks a soul. Where's the dreamy way of talking? Where's the ridiculous choice of clothing in a horror setting? The weird enunciation on words? All the main 4 silent hills had this trope, but it was just 'bad voice actors'? I don't buy it, and I'm not liking the way they've marketed the game, i mean what game company goes out to legacy game media to say 'guys plz dont dislike the game, give us a chance', thats such childish behavior.
