Just finished it. Instantly in my top horror games of all time.Everything from the atmosphere, the music, the sound design, the graphics, the suspense, the psychological horror, James as a protagonist and his story, the twist towards the end, just a nearly perfect experience. My only negative was I wasn’t really fond of the amount of puzzles, kinda slowed down the pacing a bit at moments. As a fairly new fan this series always intrigued me. I started off with the recently released Silent Hill F. While that game was just okay to me it felt like more of an action game and never reached the same heights for me as this one. So hearing about this one over the years and jumping into it after F was the best gaming decision i’ve made this year. I definitely get the hype now and i can officially say the series has earned a new fan. Can’t wait for the Silent Hill 1 remake !
>>722596156The remake is shit and i'm not even going to bother with Silent hill f but there really is nothing else that comes close to the first 4 Silent Hill games.
Forgot to add, it's also my first horror game.
>>722596398Why is it shit? You fags never elaborate, just “old good, new bad”. I played the original on launch day, and love the remake.
>Demake
>>722596693haha exactly! this was my first SH game because I dont want to deal with shitty and clunky tank controls and outdated game design but blooper absolutely nailed it with this masterpiece
>>722596156you should try this in VR, is pant shittingly terrifying
There was soul here, it's gone now.https://youtu.be/8dpfnPitBw8?si=rKnfDoRhVsvdW1PQ
>>722596693Its just those seething fags who want a 1:1 remaster of the game with little to no changes with a fixed camera angle and they will be salivating at how kino it is.
>>722597568It Was Midnight, I Was Shrieking, Nearly Broke My Controller, and Became a Silent Hill Fan — Thanks to Silent Hill fI was new to the series, but Silent Hill f changed everything. The atmosphere, the gameplay, and the horror hit so hard I actually dropped my controller in fear. It’s been years since a game gave me nightmares — and I loved every second of it. Now I can’t wait to dive into more, starting with Silent Hill 2 Remake and other classics from the series.
>>722597387>>722596398kill yourselves retards
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-bUsqfuCJ8Most kino and emotional ending. Anyone who says that the remake is shit, should just rope themselves already.
>>722597387post the in-game model, not the CG
>bring in david duchovny as a twin peaks reference>but then sanitize all the twin peaks style dialog and atmosphere from the originalstrange design choice desu
>>722596693They did not capture the atmosphere of the original in my opinion.Too much emphasis on combat made it feel like just another horror slop game and took me away from enjoying just exploring the world which was one of the major reasons for why i loved the silent hill games in the first place.I guess it's subjective but i liked the original one much more.It's not "old good, new bad" because i actually enjoyed the RE remakes.
>>722598019>dont post the CG model that the modern remake was fully capable of replicating unlike the PS2 because it makes the remake look bad
>>722596693Mediocre combat that isn't scary or bad enough to deter you from doing it with bloated amount of encounters, "puzzles" are 3rd grade math problems for special ed kids.Maria, manifestation of James' sexual frustration looks like Charls Carrol in a wigEddie redesigned to not even remotely look human.
>>722596156>demake
>>722596156the remake isn't terrible but you're drinking Dr. Thunder and raving about how good Dr. Pepper is. you didn't really play Silent Hill 2 at all.
>>722596693well for one the combat is more braindead than the OG
they forgot to add jumpscares. all atmosphere, no actual scary moments. no good ones anyway.
>>722596693Changing the camera to over the shoulder just like every other gameCamera is too zoomed inWorse acting across the board, especially Mary/MariaChanges to Mary's letterChanges to Maria's designLots of unnecessary changes for the sake of changeVacuum combatLow enemy variety with more combat makes the combat repetitiveRemoved Hyper SprayCan't use Great Knife as a weaponBloating the game by making areas longer and adding even more puzzles to justify the $70 price tagHaving to press the interact button multiple times to put your arm in a hole when in the original it was one button pressTrick or Treat scene in the elevator is objectively worse
>>722600643>Can't use Great Knife as a weapondidn't even think about this one but yeah that's so unbelievably fuckedBloober are fucking criminals
>>722596156I played SH1 & SH2 blind last week, didn't touch the remake cuz its 70 smackeroosthey're good but probably hit 1000x harder back in the day. I don't have any nostalgia for the series, but I can see why people like it so much. That said I think like most games, the soundtrack is doing most of the heavy lifting for nostalgia. Pianissimo Epilogue... mnnn....I got the in-water ending, didn't know SH had multiple endings so that's cool. It didn't boil down to a menu choice like modern games, which was nice.Only thing I didn't like was the camera.Fixed perspective camera on its own isn't bad, what makes it suck is when the two camera "snapping points" decide to flip, or invert, or just change nonsensically. I got the hang of tank controls in SH1 after the first hour, but camera swapping never felt good. Some people like to say it adds to the game, but it just felt frustrating. I opened my map a lot, not because the map was confusing, but because I'd be walking in one direction, turn a corner and have my forward input change direction, or leave a room and face the wrong way. Never could get used to it. Even when you force-control the camera with the shortcut, it fights you anyway and doesn't really work all that well. Combat sucks, but playing this for combat seems like a dumb idea anyway. It's not an action game. Pyramid head great knife was based though, used that to beat twin pyramid heads. SH2 had better pacing overall, it never overstayed its welcome, while SH1 I wanted the game to end by the time I was part way through Nowhere. I dunno if I'll bother playing the remake, especially when I see how "actiony" some of it looks. For now, gonna continue playing through the whole series. Not very deep in it yet, but so far SH3 feels much scarier than SH1 or SH2. maybe a female protag makes it scarier psychologically? idk.
>>722596693changed the theme of James otherworld to match the moviepadded the game with pointless shit like breakable wallsno trade off for turning on the flashlightenemies are bullet spongeschanged mary's letter for worse and her new VA is shit
what a shit bait
>>722596156Go fuck yourself you zoomer poser faggot
A woman hypnotized by jews saw Angela and got offended she was prettier than her. Thus, she made her look like a man.None of the other characters bothered her, for they were not a threat to her only thing of value.
>>722600643>Having to press the interact button multiple times to put your arm in a hole when in the original it was one button pressWhat would this even add? It was tense enough watching James reach in, now it gets paused and lets you sit there thinking about it?
>>722604901i think new angela is cuter than old angela(her face animation fucking sucks though)
>>722604980Press button>James approaches holePress button>James pute his hand in front of holePress button>James puts his hand in holePress button>James puts half of his arm in holePress button>James puts whole arm in holePress button>James pulls arm out with item in handYou do this multiple times by the way.
>>722596156>Silent Hill 2 fan plays his favorite game for the first timeThe game is bloated to shit, too much combat and the atmosphere is greatly diminished because your zither fighting enemies or are too focused trying to find the stupid mannequins before they get a cheap shot in. The camera also sucks, if they had to use the RE4/TLOU camera style they should have at least used fixed camera for certain areas, even the turd downpour did that right
>>722605685Glad I knew to stay away from that dog shit
>>722605685>PRESS X TO NOT DIE
>>722597568If only Konami would release a proper remaster collection of 1-4. But no their $70 remakes are the only way to legally play them
>>722597721>It Was Midnight, I Was Shrieking, Nearly Broke My Controller, and Became a Silent Hill Fan — Thanks to Silent Hill fwhat the fuck is this sentenceis this a game journo headline or something lmao
>>722596156You´re embarrassing.
>>722607079After the HD collection, I'd rather they just bury this series for good and let it die peacefully instead of parading its carcass around like this.
lol half of the shitters cant even afford this game cuz they are poorfags or SEAmonkeys or niggers so they just spend day moaning and crying about "muh soul"
>>722596693NTA, but there's not a single positive thing to be said about the DEmake. It's literally the exact same garbage as SH HC was back in the day, with all the other modern cancers the AAA console industry has spawned the past 15 years.The nu-character design sucks, with all the cast members looking like lanky Aliens.The characters' roles, behavior and overall attitude are way off, 1-dimensional and flat;ie. can't have good points on a "villain", and a game about "sex and death" cannot actually show sexy characters.This also extends to literal censorshipping of PH's actions. He's now just The Movie's Executioner.The voice acting is just as bad as in the 2010's HD Collection.The new OST is over-produced and lacks impact, similar to nu-SW films or FFX HD port; too many added layers of instruments muddling the melody and the early 00's punk-rock vibes, replacing it with something akin to a big band cover.The use of said soundtrack is also way worse, with less thought put into the mixing;Why does the PH's appearance noise start playing randomly when exploring the streets before the Apartments? What's the point of the radio if it's constantly covered by the dynamic soundtrack blasting with max volume if you come across a foe?The in-game and cutscene cinematography is all around inferior to the 2001 original, possessing all the telltale signs of the post-2010s' capeshit tropes.The gameplay is yet another OTS Homocoming x TLOU x RE4R slop, focusing too much on combat and further destroying the brilliant camera-work and player guidance the originals had. It also adds fucktons of generic "open world" and "cinematic" busywork that plague modern triple-A shit.The UE5 means that you need an RTX4000 series card to get even 30fps at 1080p, using DLSS, all while ruining your eye sight either with the TAA smear, or noisy, runny dithering. No in-betweens.Finally, since 80 dollar price tag ain't enough, you gotta shill ebinn meme hat DLC to the Twitch audiences.
>>722601978>SH2 had better pacing overall, it never overstayed its welcome, while SH1 I wanted the game to end by the time I was part way through Nowhere.I disagree 100%.SH2's pacing is so terrible, that replays are a pain in the ass.Nothing happens the first 1/3rd of the game, and the Apartments are flat copy-paste maze.SH1 has far superior world design, with more environmental variety, more striking set pieces, and superior pacing. And this all adds to the replay value, which the game has truckloads more than SH2, that literally only changes at the very end.The de-makes have jack shit on the originals. Jewnami's been trying to turn the series into "RE4" since 2006, and it would seem that they finally managed to normalize the OTS action-slop with the Piss5 generation, that never played the franchise (or even the GENRE) before.
>>722607748>The game is GOOD because people are POORGreat argument
>>722607253 It legit sounds like a headline from a Kotaku intern who wrote the whole thing during their lunch break on a sugar high. “Nearly broke my controller” like bro you’re not Goku in a boss fight, you’re walking through fog and hearing weird noises. Just say you liked the game without trying to write your memoirs in the title.
>>722601978I bow before our new AI overlords.
>>722607383Yeah they're still too cheap to just pay the $2000 voice acting royalties and would just redub the game anyways. But really they could at least just package the games with an emulator and resell them for $70 plus tip. I mean it's been working for Nintendo
>>722607748I pre ordered both shattered memories and downpour. I've already paid my stupidity tax with this series, I'm not buying a full priced silent hill game again.
>>722600643>Can't use Great Knife as a weaponwow
>>722610228Shattered Memories was comfy kino though
Eileen shaving
>>722610330Origins is the better climax game.
>>722596156I thought some of the levels were needlessly long compared to the OG. Labyrinth and Prison were both cool though.Really liked all the other side levels in UE5. I put it on par with the original. It's very good, but I also think the original is different enough that it can (and should) be played alongside the remake.
>>722597116>clunky tank controlsYou can give SH2 normal controls in the options. They're called "rotational" or "2D" controls. You permanently robbed yourself of first impressions with the best game of all time by playing the shitty remake first. Ha-ha!
>>722610330SM at least has some good parts>>722610436Origins is just boring, nothing standing out, yet nothing making you want to quit.
>>722610558It still feels like I'm playing a silent hill game, not a very good one but still a silent hill game.
>>722610436Origins wanted to ape the team silent games, SM did something completely different.I wouldnt say SM is a "good" game, but walking around the town, the forest, the school, the amusement park and all during a snowy winter night is just so fucking comfy. Just gotta play it on a lonely winter night, then you will get it.
>>722610693I will stand by my opinion that it is "Silent Hill on the go", and in that regard it does succeed, but it also has a lot of stupid decisions and broken fights.
>>722610973I can't argue with that. I found the levels to be mostly alright except the sanitarium which is probably the worst area in the series
I also just beat it and got the in water ending. Replaying on NG+ and still having fun breezing through it while discovering new things. Fuck the haters, Bloober did a an 8/10 job on the remaster and it's well worth playing.

>>722611667silent hill short message was the worst vidya i ever played in my life. i know this get says a lot, but this is not hyperbole. I am struggling to think of a worse game.
>>722610417I kneel
>>722612308I forgot what it even looked like and just shoved it up into the bottom, it would definitely fit better next to f
>>722611667>sharttered memories>a game without combat, you just run in empty buildings>inoffensive
>>722612539it's easily worse than homecoming. Silent Hill 2 remake is high art compared to it, outside of complete crimes against humanity like superman 64, its one of the worst games ever made. Short Message is easily the worst silent hill. I wish I could sue for psychological trauma. AVOID THE GAME AT ALL COSTS.
>>722612613As horrendous as the chase sequences were, I thought everything else was actually really good. So it's a 50/50 split.

>>722611667In my opinion P.T. was closest to Silent Hill of all those games.

Man this game is nothing but slow grind melee fest and bullets a rarity. Once I got to Toluca Prison where i get bush whacked ambused in every corner i just gave up.Went back to Resident evil 4 remake 10x more fun and fluid.
