Is it better than the original? I bought it but I never played SH2 and now I don't know if I should play the original first
>>748613798They are unconnected. SH1 and SH3 are direct sequels. SH4 is tied in the most vague sense to SH2 but isn't a sequel. So you are good to go.
>>748613848No I meant the original SH2I played SH1 and SH3
>>748613798No it's not. 99% of remakes never are.
>>748613798Is your IQ above 100? You should play the original, if not then play the remake.
>>748613798it dependsthe original is better but if you're a zoomer and cannot stand old games for some reason, 2 remake is a good adaptation of the game done by people who really love the original gameif you don't mind playing old games, then you should play the original before the remake, the remake references a lot of moments from the original that were redesigned for the remake as easter eggs
>>748614227If it were on Steam or GOG I would've played it already
>>748613798The remake canonizes that the events in the original did actually take place, but James is stuck in a purgatory loop where he goes through it all over and over. (Links the player playing the story over and over for the different endings and games into the actual story)
>>748613798>>748614128The Demake sucks ass. It's UE5 shit, DEI slop, and literal TLOU x Homecoming style over-shoulder action trash, all in one. Not only that, but this piece of shit is implying that it's a SEQUEL to the 2001 game, I kid you now.Refund it, now. Pirate it later if you "must" play that garbage.So Yes, you SHOULD play the original SH2 first.But more than that, you absolutely should start with the original SILENT HILL 1 game. It's the better game, better introduction to the franchise, and has way better scares and replay value.Here is the good ol' SH PC Guide + Pastebin:https://pastebin.com/uf5XhyXz
>>748614413>If it were on Steam or GOG I would've played it alreadyIt's literally free on Abandonware and such, little nigga. Piss easy and LEGAL to pirate, since the publisher has not done anything with them in over 2 decades. You do know there are shittons of PC games that ain't on Steam, GOG or Epic, and that's only a good thing?Besides, who the fuck would want to give Jewnami and Bloopooper pennies after all the scammy shit they've done since 2005??
>>748614394>remake is a good adaptation of the game done by people who really love the original gameThey literally ruined the most pivotal scene of the game (maria behind bars scene) because they couldn't direct the actress to play it right.People who think the remake is just as good or better literally miss the whole point of the story.
>>748614630Only if you are blinded by nostalgia.
>>748614394>the remake references a lot of moments from the original that were redesigned for the remake as easter eggsIt's none of that shit. It's insulting as fuck trash, made by Vatnig slavfags who literally showed Team Silent's veterans aside (like Ito and Akira), the moment they started begging them to NOT make a shitty remake, but a brand new game instead.It has literally every single modern AAA cancer imaginable.
Jesus fucking christ, shut the fuck up about it. This is the same retarded shit spewing like dead space or re2. Don't like the game then fuck off, we've heard everyone bang on about how it's the worse thing ever. It doesn't detract over all from the merits of the original, hell my nephew was interested in playing the originals after liking the remake for sh2
>>748615052>stop discussing games in the videogame discussion board You'll be repeatedly told that remakes suck major dick and you'll deal with it.
>>748613798the original is worset played sh1-3 before the remake
>>748614770Not him, but fuck off and jump into an active volcano. This is not a matter of "nostalgia" at all. For starters, some of us have ACTIVELY played the original game for the past 25 years, so we don't need to rely on some hazy recollections alone.Second, SH2 has been named as one of the most influential titles in terms of themes and designs ever since its release. Even total normalfags love it. Butchering it into a generic "PS4-PS5 exclusive" title does nothing but disservice and mispresent it.Third, for the past couple decades, I have witnessed shittons of people half my age pick up and play these "old" classics for the very first time, more time than not loving the shit out of them. That includes games like the OG Silent Hill trilogy, OG RE trilogy, Half-Life 1, Ocarina Of Time, MGS series as a whole ... and so on. If even zoomer homos are saying that we need more games like this, then your imaginary "modern audiences" really have no space here.We oldfags already warned people back in 2009 how the industry would try to standardize the shitty, casual SH Homecoming design, 17 years ago. Where as back then there was unanimous opposition against that garbage and a strong desire to return to the franchises' and genre's roots, now we have an entire generation of apparently Gen-A PS4 toddlers who know of nothing else, and thus consume it with a glee.The SH2 demake = those notorious movie remakes / Netflix adaptations.>>748615052>hell my nephew was interested in playing the originals after liking the remake for sh2Yes yes, we've seen shittons of these stories.Does not improve the demake's quality, or make them a valid representation / replacement for the OGs. There's nothing stopping people from effortlessly downloading and playing the classics. But rather, there's a very active, money consuming marketing corporations trying to spoonfeed their generic, overpriced, over-sized, unoptimized Unreal 5 diarrhea down people's throats.
>>748614480Holy buzz word copy and paste
>>748614630I said the og was better, 2 remake is still full of amazing moments from 2 done well, Maria and Angela are the worst parts of the remake-the apartments in the remake are amazing-the mandarins in the remake are great unlike the og-eddie boss fight is better-abstract daddy is waaaay better in the remake-the town itself is better in the remake with lots of explorable buildings-the labyrinth is great in the remake-otherworld town segments are amazing and weren't in the original-mannequins and nurses are amazing in the remake-the redone soundtrack is amazinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIhERKiq5fc
>>748615052>google silent hill 2>first result is the demakeit also doesn't help the fact that the shitmake is just called "silent hill 2" it's like they're telling you "yes the original version is obsolete and we're trying to replace it with this new one"fuck the jewmake and anyone that bought it
>>748613798No it isn't. You can get the og from the internet archive and install the enhanced edition mod/patch.Better experience, only reason to get demake is to run it in VR if you have a 5090
>>748615378
>>748613798The Remake is too long and tedious.
>>748615378everyone who played both will agree with these, maybe not the labyrinth takeonly issue with the sh2 remake is that sh has a smaller way more mentally ill fanbase compared to resident evil that's why there's so much hate towards itfor example this pastebin guy will appear in every single sh thread to say how the remake is horrible and only kids love it, he will ramp it up when sh1r comes too
>>748613798The original is a 7 or 8 hour long game on a blind playthrough, assuming that you will be wondering around a bunch. It's short and concise so you might as well play it to see what the fuss is about. You'll be done with it in a small handful of sittings.
>>748614413Okay so below 100 got it.
>>748615569Amazing quality of discussion here
>>748615247>iPhone shitposter terrified by an actual keyboard master raceMany such cases.>>748615475This exactly.Every time a shill tries to convince you that "lol the DEImake does not replace the OG!! :^)", just open up Google, Youtube, or any search / social media platform.Post-2016, you cannot find anything related to the actual DOOM (1993).>>748615378>-the apartments in the remake are amazingWrong right off the bat.I was optimistic when I first entered the place, but anyone who has played the darn demake knows that the Apartments were nerfed the fuck out. It's TINY, totally LINEAR, and the first example of funneling + "the key is in the same room" design the game repeats.>-the mandarins in the remake are great unlike the ogA literal case of forced "new" enemy design, taking the spotlight from a thought-provoking setpiece creature. And the "bossfight" was just lame.>-eddie boss fight is betterArguably yes, but see how you're only bringing up COMBAT shit?>-abstract daddy is waaaay better in the remakeHitting people on the nose =/= better.But agian, "muh combat".>-the town itself is better in the remake with lots of explorable buildingsAgain, I disagree 100%. The exploration was CUT DOWN, and there's NOTHING to be found.Hell, the removal of all "Examine" flavor text makes both Jimbo and the town seem empty and soulless. All you do is discover random steel containers with a drink, shot, or pack of ammo.Which underlines that this slop is indeed meant to be a "second to second" design ACTION GAME, rather than a "minute to minute" classic exploration heavy adventure.>-the labyrinth is great in the remakeStreamlined and cut down you mean.>-otherworld town segments are amazing and weren't in the originalTaking SH1/3/Movie's designs and slamming them into 2 = fucking disgusting.>-mannequins and nurses are amazing in the remake>-the redone soundtrack is amazingBoth massively downgraded.Audio especially was handled by a total amateur.
>>748613798Same as dead space remake. No. Play the original games. /thread
>>748613798Gameplay wise. it's much better. Aesthetics wise? Not even close. Play the original first, then the remake.
>>748616036>Taking SH1/3/Movie's designs and slamming them into 2 = fucking disgusting.The apartments and the town having an other world section was a fantastic change, you fags just revel in being joyless contrarians>picJames actually jumping into his grave in the remake was soulful
>>748615962>stealing someone's work>ability to growlol lmao even
>>748616264oh yeah. much better gameplay that's a time wasting chore where you fight 1000 shitty enemies instead of 50 scary enemies, solve 100 shitty puzzles instead of 10 well designed puzzles, and explore 50 boring copy pasted locations instead of 20 beautifully designed locations
>>748613798You want actual SCARES?? play the remake.Want better direction,& character designs? play the OG.This is the REAL truth, dont listen to anyone else telling you otherwise. I'd still pick the remake, cause guess what, i wanna play a horror game, not a yawn fest like the OG was. OG aged poorly in actual horror.
>>748613798I loved it. In some aspects, it's better than the original.
>>748616713>The apartments and the town having an other world section was a fantastic changeThey already had, you underage shit nigger.Again, CHANGING the JAMES' inner reality bubble into ALESSA's, and taking the style straight out of the SH MOVIE, is not an upgrade in anyone's mind.James' alt reality was meant to be sickly, wet, molden, covered in blue and green tones.Now it's literally the same rusted and burned browns and reds and barb wires, married with the film's peeling wall paper dynamic.Not to mention the whole notion of the world "shifting" was made more subtle on PURPOSE in the OG SH2. The whole game starts off acting like a very straight forward repetition of SH1's tropes, but turns out to be an ANTI-THESIS of the OG game. This is not only reflected in James' character and story, but the fact that you're essentially in his "otherworld" right from the bat, with the only time sirens and "shit gets rusty" kick in happening at the Hospital - a gentle nudge towards SH1, but also at James' own history.>James actually jumping into his grave in the remake was soulfulOver-acting and really rubbing things into your face are never "more soulfull". It's patronizing and lazy.>>748616264>Gameplay wise. it's much betterIt really is not.You fags reeeally do not get what "gameplay" means, do you?The pacing is attrocious, with every single thing taking 3-4 times longer than in the OG game, meaning nobody even WANTS to replay the demake.Most of that padding comes from mandatory "combat arenas" and shit, making the game play like the nu-DOOM games than any Silent Hill.Actual exploration and problem solving aspects were severely cut-down. You for example do not need to explore 4 full floors of Hospital to find a specific key to another floor; instead, you get locked into tiny "loops" for each lock / puzzle.The in-game and cutscene cinematography are all worse.Everything is spoonfed to you with literal "yellow paint 2.0" slop + magical button prompts.
>>748614413It emulates perfectly nowadays
OG is better>tighter experience8-12 hours instead of 25 or whatever for absolutely no reason>environments have more cohesionthe remake pretends that it's SH1 and SH3 too and it's tryhard>it's more creepy>it's more grounded>no censorship in shots and themes>maria is hot, as she should be>maria has ±2 hours sub quest, which adds to the overall storyYou can still play the remake. It's a stealth sequel of sorts, but holy fuck does it wear out its welcome
>>748617240>12 hours>25 hoursyou literally didn't play both versions of SH2 KEK
>>748613798Play the original first so you can compare them yourself. I think with any remake you should play the original at least once, otherwise you're getting a second hand chinese whispers version of it.
>>748617183Don't even need to emulate, since we already got a legit PC port 25 years ago, and the "Enhanced Edition" mod makes it look and run smooth as butter on the modern 64-bit systems, at 4K/120fps if you want, or native 480/30 if that's your jazz.>>7486173028-12h is a typical average for RE and SH games during your first time. Unless you're an Easy-mode shit eater.20-25 is the literal average for the demake. My only playthrough on Normal took that long, and I was never "stuck" in any part. Got a couple crashes to desktop, but that's it.
>>748615378What I'm gathering from this is>the game has tons of filler
>>748614480>It's UE5 shit.I don't care about opinions of broke ass retards that calls a game engine shit just because he can't run it.
>>748617392it all makes sense now, you hate the remake because you're 50 years old and you can barely play actual video gamesyou have to be brain damaged to take 12h on og sh2 and get lost multiple times like a 6 year old kid, same goes for 25 on the remake
>>748617302Not him but EVERY silent hill game from 1 to 4 take around 6-7 hours to beat more or less... 8 if you're super slow.But yeah remake also took me around 25-28 hours to beat, so that sounds about right. I dont rush my games either.
>>748615962I judged it by its own merit and it was shit, no apology needed.
>>748616932based
>>748617468Besides being wrong, you are absolutely autistic to latch on to a thing like playtime. Genuinely touch grass.
>>748617392Bitch still looks like Haaland with makeup on
>>748613798When everything good in it comes from the original, no
>>748615052>Only my specific opinion is allowed on this board! Suck a dick, faggot
>>748617586are you retarded? one of the main complaints you're constantly saying is how padded the playtime ityou really are 40-50 years old that can't move on
>>748617434Bitch please... a GTX 1060 6GB can "run" the damn thing.But when a prev-gen 12GB RTX card cannot do even NATIVE 1080p at NATIVE 60fps on LOW settings, things have gone terribly wrong.There's hours worth of analysis and example videos on YT for you to check out on the subject matter of how terribly designed not only this game is, but why UE5 looks and runs like dry feces in general.Something like wasting tens of millions of polygons and a fucking 4K PBR texture set on a tiny piece of MOSS growing on streets is a prime example of today's Pajeet "game design".And then there's all that TAA / DLSS and Lumen smear, shimmering, blur and noise.
>>748613798As a lifelong sh2 glazer who easily names it as his favorite game, the remake honestly is s not as bad as I expected and has some good aspects like the environments, and the atmosphere is mostly pretty good. That being said it completely ruins the most important aspects of sh2, being the story/characters, emotional impact of everything, music and pacing (which is atrocious due to being totally bloated into a 20 hr game when the og is like 6 hrs max on first playthrough). The characters are utterly butchered in the remake and none of them can in any way be considered the same characters, especially Angela who was one of the best aspects of the original.Play the OG unless you're retarded, especially when it's only a few hours long, and then if you want more try the remake and it does have aspects you might enjoy in their own right despite its massive fuckups. It's just like a Japanese horror film with a western hollywood remake, it completely obliterates on nuance, subtlety and substance for flashy big budget bloated dumbed down spectacle.
No. The original is leagues better. Let's just look at the Pyramid Head boss fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJc5p4KTQKAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilUET2suOK0The original Pyramid Head fight is extremely claustrophobic. You are trapped in a super narrow room shaped like an L. The whole fight you have nowhere to escape to. And it Pyramid Head hits you once, you're dead, and he can pretty much reach you from across the room because of how small and narrow it is. This is not a normal boss fight room. And Pyramid Head doesn't have phases or anything, he just tanks damage. You don't even know if you're winning against him. It's an extremely nerve-wracking experience. The new Pyramid Head fight is a generic boss room. It's wide open and you have plenty of area to escape to. You can very easily feel safe the entire time. I'm pretty sure Pyramid Head can't kill you in one hit. You just get call of duty strawberry jam on the camera when he hits you. Pyramid Head destroys the environment in this fight, which is really video gamey "look at the technology!" type destructible environment showcase, except notice when the boxes are destroyed, they just instantly vanish. So it's not impressive. Blooper Team basically took a very stressful and unique boss fight and turned it into a generic boss fight that we've all done a million times before. This is the sort of design choice that ruined everything in the remake, not just the boss fights, but the characters and the gameplay and the story as well. They sacrificed a one of a kind experience for just another generic piece of trash.
>>748617672Yes and one game has almost no padding while the other game takes like a week to finish if you have a life.What about that makes you go apeshit exactly?
they're both worth their own playthrough
>OG is better
>>748617862>gamerdad that has only 10 free mins per daylmao please keep telling me about yourself so i can paint a clear image of someone this fucked up in the head

>>748617774>look at the technology!can't believe they actually made him burst through a wall on the elevator run like a fucking kool aid man, that was so tone deaf
>>748617913>every game where you can luck out and stunlock an enemy is badYou only started playing games 10 years ago and they're all overbalanced snoozefests
>>748617672Not him but the main issue with the bloated dog shit playtime in the remake isn't even that it just takes longer, it's that it utterly ruins the pacing of the story and thus the emotional impact. OG SH2 is perfectly paced with zero filler, and especially in the second half, everything about the game feels like it's unraveling and descending into despair and madness. Every time you speak to each character again, they and James are all getting worse and worse faster and faster and the areas of the game itself simultaneously get more and more rotten, dark and surreal, culminating in every character reaching rock bottom, including James. This effect is completely lost on the remake where between each character interaction you have literal hours of boring repetitious retarded i-frame dodging battles with the same few enemies over and over in bloated areas full of filler, many of which are much duller, cleaner and less surreal than their original counterparts (Toluca prison is the really bad offender with this). By the time you encounter a other character again you've practically forgotten about them.It goes from meeting Angela again and thinking "fuck she's spiraling so much worse already" to thinking "oh yeah, what's Angela been doing this whole time"
>>748618163but you are the one chimping out in every single silent hill thread
>>748618190So you're a schizo. Now it makes sense.
I don't like how nice and soft Maria is in the remake, og bitchy Maria was better
>>748617913The remake isn't so much more exciting with it's generic "dodge and bop" combat either.
>>748617774>stupid dodgeslop and he doesn't even walk into water at the end anymore
Always remember that SH2R sold more than the entire franchise, it won and you lost.Also always keep in mind that the OG SH2 sold so poorly that it ruined SH3s development, which turned out better than SH2 anyways. That's all you can keep on hating on the remake now
>>748616932Why the hate for origins? Only did the demo sadly, it was visually incredible. I was already impressed by portable ops, but origins had near PS2 graphics, flashlight and working mirrors. On PSP!
>>748613798I played the original and see no reason anyone would play that uncslop instead of the new remake.

>>748618804It just wasn't very good. A sort of SH1 made by underachievers. It also messed with the background story too much. Some lame ass trucker wasn't necessary to be included in that incident. I don't consider it part of the story.Was it bad? No, it wasn't. It just rubs me the wrong way of what it was doing.

>>748619192Everyone's getting replaced
Play the original and get the remake on a sale. While bloober makes very pretty games they're also very soulless.
>>748619134Alright, it's short and only an entry on a weaker system, the type of game you buy for twenty bucks to go "wow" and marvel at what the PSP can do. But can it be sorted and ranked as the same sludge on the left side of that picture?
>>748619237Only Low IQ here is you justifying some old ass game. Your nostalgias blinding you from how obsolete your fav game is.
>>748619348Its souless to you because your childhood is dead, manchild.
>>748619352Yep, brown skin bird nest hair tier posting. Worthless. Is the sharty gone for good? Can't these individuals move somewhere else?
>>748619502yuck
>>748613798God no. Bloober are absolute retards. They are one of the shittiest developers around. Literally all they do is poorly copy better games. Somehow their shitty Silent Hill copy got the attention of Konami (most likely because they were the lowest bidder and Konami really not giving a fuck about quality). They turned SH2 into a shitty tps for some reason where you mow down hundreds of enemies and added large amounts of filler padding to increase playtime. Not to mention any stuff that requires any creativity and/or artistry... It's all worse. Also made everyone fucking ugly.Here is some recommended Bloober viewing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_uD7gxIF2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0fm2lRrEg0

>>748619352>OG silent hill is some janky ahh dog turd no cap, go back to the retirement house boom-ACK!
>>748619620It's why I never take these kind of complaints seriously, these old games would be getting torn to shreds by the same retards that praise them if they released today. One of the main reasons as to why they love them it's only because they grew up with them and now they're sad 30+ year old men with shit lives
>>748619109I'll give you points for using human language instead of "unc"You're still incorrect but it could be worse

>>748619695Imagine being this unable to comprehend quality. It must be hard to be you
>>748619349>But can it be sorted and ranked as the same sludge on the left side of that picture?Imo yes it belongs on the left side for how needless it is. So far I don't respect a single non-Team Silent's SH game, and it's not that I don't have an open mind. I play most of them and they don't have it. Some come close, but shit the bed in other ways. Overall, I give Origins a mid out of ten.

I just don't understand how you can say you truly love Silent Hill but also support Konami and it's treatment of the series. SHF may as well not have had SH in the title and the SH2 remake is so obviously just a cash in after they saw RE2make's success. SH2 remake has its moments but they're spread across a bloated campaign that doesn't justify its length. It's been 20 years and the answer to the question "Which SH games should I try?" is forever going to be "SH1-4", it's never changing.
Nothing more pathetic than old ass Retards Glazing their old ass games.
>>748619961You might have something to flex about if your entire sphere of entertainment wasn't regurgitated millennial media.I'm genuinely sorry you got a worse version of my culture and never had one of your own.
>>748619997Maybe they can make something new, instead of shitting out worse copies of games that were better when they were released 25 years ago?
>>748620012Did bought shf cuz i thought that game is not silent hill just some jrpg with the SH title innit. I watched Townfall on youtube because i Prefer 3Rd Person when playing Silent Hill. Imma wait till they Remake 3 And the Room
I miss them so much it's unreal
>>748620073It's so funny when you finally break down and start saying why you actually hate the remake
demakefags losing as always. you love to see it
>>748620170? I dislike it because it's bad. I am also pitying you for getting worse versions of better games
>>748620073Must be nice projecting when it helps calming your blood pressure, oldfag
>>748620014Nothing more pathetic than young ass retards remaking our old ass games because they literally have no culture to call their own.
>>748620236>Sh2R being successful and upcoming Sh1 remake is comingThe Projecting is strong in this one.
>>748620168Reminder Konami told them they had to make SH3 and SH4 simultaneously in onky a year then rewarded them for completing this ridiculous demand by disbanding them.
>>748620168There is something cool and magical about seeing them work. They look all like typical Japanese office workers, but then you hear what they're working on and it's like 'huh'. Actual interesting content being made by, what seems to be, a very specialist team, not bloated, but not entirely lean in size either. I wish I was there, or more specifically, I wish I was part of such a similar creative endeavor.
>>748620293If nostalgia glazing is a culture youd be on top
>>748620409Yes, that's what they deserve for making SH2 so fucking bad that it killed the studio. Why are you manchilds never addressing this?
>>748620474SH2 is good though, but there exist more people that like to eat shit, like you.
Imagine being Konami thinking you have your own Resident Evil since SH1 was so unique and amazing just to get SH2 because Team Silent was too obsessed with Lynch and made basically a side game to SH1 completely ruining the franchise just two games in.
>>748620645And I forgot to mention that while Team Silent was shitting out SH2 they were also already thinking about their own SH3 that had a teenager who got raped and had an abortion, another side game that had nothing to do with SH1 and now 2. I'm surprised they were even allowed to make SH4 after they had to get tard wrangled and make SH3 actually be connected to SH1, the game that the people loved.
>>748620409>>748620474lol this... wasnt SH2 a big flop, and DESERVINGLY so in japan??what *is* a shame at least for me, is that the team still got disbanded after releasing that banger SH3 and yes.. even the room was more of a horror/scary game than SH2 was.
>>748620168Japanese female devs look like normal people
>>748620645SH1>nonsensical disjointed mess that barely resembles a plot about a big strong white writer guy fighting an evil cult that wants to take over the world with their evil god>thematically it's literally about nothing. the emotional part of it doesn't even come from the MC but from a side character you bearly know anything about and have next to no screentime>unlistenable random metallic garbage truck sound effects of a soundtrack. Akira just started and didn't know what style to pick so he just decided to make everything sound as S C A R Y as possible>ugly as fuck stretched blocky Lego baby doll models and gray pixel environments that aged like milk one year after the game released>beta Garry’s Mod tier presentation with generic and uninteresting camera shots where characters stand next to each other while spewing awkward exposition at each other>RE1-3 tier voice actingSH2>timeless and deeply emotional human story about regret, guilt, depression, unfulfilled promises, sexual abuse, not fitting in society, and the value of life. discussed and analyzed by hundreds of people to this day>soften unforgettable melancholic soundtrack that mixes trip-hop, opera music, piano, and industrial sounds. Akira greatly evolved as a composer and found an actually fitting nuanced style for the series>revolutionary graphical quality that still looks great to this day>breathtaking art direction filled with meaningful substance on every single corner. one of the best-designed and detailed environments ever. a lot of locations look like pieces of art to this day>surreal dream like cinematography with extremely unique and unnerving camera work that creates meaningful symbolism in itself>legendary performances by unknown actors who were chosen because of their skill instead of status within the industry. created one of the most unforgettable, unique, and human performances in the history of video gamesSH2 is a timeless masterpiece. SH1 is an outdated mess
>>748620813>they were also already thinking about their own SH3 that had a teenager who got raped and had an abortionhuh??? you mean SH3 originally wasnt gonna be about Heather at all, just some random chick getting some abortion?i mean in the end Heather still aborts that demon fetus thing.. but first time i hear the plot was originally planned to be disconnected to SH1 entirely..
>>748620825It was a flop everywhere at the time because people expected SH2 to be an actual sequel with consequences from the first game, instead they got some random David Lynch movie made into a videogame.SH2 back then was like SHf or townfall, not a real silent hill
>>748613798No, it's shit
>>748620949If you're only 50% a faggot then you're still a faggot
After the resounding success of resident evil 2 remake they released re 3 remake and village so just like them we can only go up from here..
>>748620987It's why the game is about both occultism, actual silent hill stuff and rape with abortion. It's also why you visit Brookhaven hospital and not Alchemilla, SH2 did horrible so Konami forced them to make SH3 be connected to 1. SH3 also sold less than SH2 because people already lost their trust in Konami after the 2 flop
>>748621272*farts*
>>748621208RE2 demake was the exact same shit as the RE3, FF7 and SH2 demake.>>748621272>SH2 did horrible so Konami forced them to make SH3 be connected to 1Source: your ass.Did people forget that SH2 was literally one of the flagship titles of the PS2?Yes, SH never did well in JAPAN, but the overseas sales and the lasting cultural importance are undeniable. The game got the Platinum and Greatest Hits re-releases on both PS2 and Xbox too, meaning several million sold copies on consoles alone.
>>748613798No, it a sovlless piece of shit, just like every other bloober game, the've been stealing other people's work for like two decades, how they got a major publisher interested in their dogshit projects and make it into remakes is a mystery in itself. Clearly they should've stayed in the ripoff territory, because they couldn't even simply remake a product without fucking around and sinking their claws into a whole bunch of generic ots i-frame dodging slop
>>748621779Keep coping man, 2 was their SH townfall and you can only blame Team Silent for wanting to recreate Lost Highway instead of making an actual Silent Hill 2.The game got a cult following from retards like you that didn't even play SH1 years later when TS was already forgotten
>>748614480God I'm tired of these schizos in my thread. They think they're Paul blart mall cop when they're not even the shit.
Daily reminder that the Polak Bloopooper shills literally shitpost on 4chan,because the success of SH:N and the fabricated positive image around SH2 demake affect their next upcoming butcher-job, the SH1 demake.
>>748613798Fuck no. It is an all around downgrade. Nobody, not a single SH fan, nor any of the original developers, wanted this crap.
>>748613798They fucked up the voice acting on the remake + Maria is a uggo on the remake
>>748613798It's terrible compared to the original. The original is a survival horror, the remake is a clunky action game where you kill hundreds of enemies.
>>748613798Konami should make a SH collection like they do for MGS and Castlevania
>>748613798Play both, the voice acting is mixed in both games, I like James in the remake but Mary/Maria from the original is superior
uh oh, melty from girls who accidentally put on 2 estro patches this morning!!
>>748622839The OG's voice acting and overall cinematography is great. I don't know what the hell the iPhone toddlers are babbling about whenever they try to shit on the acting.The demake-Jimbo is just monotonous as fuck and annoying as hell. A clear representation of the modern-day ADHD audiences that slash out at everyone.
>>748623385they don't get dream logic
>>748613798Although i would say it is worse then the original strictly speaking, it is a decent game in its own right. It is more like a adaptation then a remake. The James in the ramake is basically an entirely different character.
>>748614630You're literally just poor and retarded
>>748613798It's decent, and I enjoy some of the additions they made, but no, it isn't better than the original.
>>748613798Dont bother both sh2 and sh2r are dogshit. If you want to experience the real sh2 you need to watch the movie return to silent hill. Its sh2 movie thats amazing and is better than the garbage source material of the games.
>>748624346i consider the shitpost ending where it is a separate james to be canon
>>748620253I didn't project anything except "flexing" which was clearly being attempted. The rest is just stating the truth.
>>748622218This guy became a complete REmake shill when it came out. Then, later on, said on Twitter that he regrets wasting his life arguing with troons.
>>748613798No
