Honest Criticisms and a quick retrospective for the Silent Hill 2 2024 remake: [] It's a little too bright and the fog is a little too thin. Yeah, it looks gorgeous, but I feel like the fog should be a little thicker. [] Angela's model looks a little...off. Can't quite place it. [] I don't like the design of the Lying Figure. I think I liked the more rotting fleshy mass it appeared like back in the original; that said, the current one isn't BAD, but I'd like it if it's "mouth" split open a little more while it spat, that'd be REALLY creepy. ......That's kind of all I got from what I've seen. I watched the Angela trailer and the gameplay one a few times to mull my thoughts over and....I actually think it looks good. Ambience is otherwise good, voice acting is fine (better than the HD remake)....I'm not sure how to feel about combat just yet, since inventory isn't shown. I hope ammo is a LOT more sparse if they're allowing for quick-swaps, someone mentioned it being very "last of us" and I got that vibe from using ammo to soften up then finishing off an enemy with melee. I'm taking it as written they're not pulling a Downpour with breakable melee weapons at least. I DEMAND they keep in the subtle endings (how you play and what you interact with influencing things, none of that "Push X or O to make an obvious choice" bullshit). Lets see....2006 was when the movie came out, and 2008 was Homecoming, so about 16-18 years of mediocrity from the series. Bad movies, average at best and outright phoned in and uninspired at worst. Homecoming wasn't GREAT, it's endings were terrible (and I got the UFO ending by ACCIDENT on my first playthrough, what the hell), but I can safely say it's ambience and enemy design were solid. Didn't love but didn't hate. I can't speak for Shattered Memories, I never played that one and didn't watch a full series, but it wasn't the best idea to have motion controls in a horror game. I can at least say it was a fascinating role reversal. And Downpour had what I said above with blatant button choices, that stuff pissed me off, and all the enemies were generic humanoids. There's of course the mobile games, harmless enough since they're not canon, nor have microtransactional nonsense like so many others these days. Ascension was a bit of a mess. And with the shenanigans of the Slot Machines (using a psychological horror game like that is a TRAVESTY), other average releases of their name brand series like Contra, Metal Gear Survive (and the whole PT Fiasco between Kojima and them),......Konami has burnt a LOT of good will. Now. That all said and done. I think MAYBE. JUST MAYBE. Bloober learned what worked and what didn't from Medium (which I haven't played, but REALLY should at least watch a playthrough if nothing else, since when I saw the trailer I immediately had Silent Hill vibes), have their heads on straight, and Konami isn't meddling with things. I know it's friggin tempting but I don't wanna see preorder bonuses or DLC crap (get the exclusive James or Maria skins, unlock the Hyperblaster for $5.99!). They have a template to work with and so far, it looks like they're doing things fine. TL;DR - Part of me still feels a little dirty giving Konami any money. They're at least smart enough to not keep it exclusive, letting it be on PC at least. I have my reservations, and I'll wait to purchase it until I see the Metacritic drop, but the odds are, it'll be a decent remake, and I might probably for the first time in gods knows how long, buy a Konami published game. Fucking shocking, honestly. "In my restless dreams....I see that town....Silent Hill....you promised you'd take me there again, but you never did."

I absolutely love the line “Aren’t you Maria?” he is truly lost.

It is wild to think that this video was posted when the game was only 5 years old. It’s been so long, yet this intro never fails to give me chills.

This game wasn't about being terrified. It was about that unbearable sense of dread caused by man's total desperation in the face of mortality and agony and the dark side of the human soul.

This game doesnt realize how amazing it really is.

Man, Silent Hill is literally *THE* only game franchise that gets me to tear up just from the openings... God, I fucking miss these games.

This guy is insane. 15 long years, and he's still active!

When Konami was a thing...

A game played day one, still haunts me to that day. Can't pass a year without playing it again.

" Eddie, You can't just kill somebody because of the way they looked at cha"

Maria: “Remember that time in the hotel?” James: 😬

OH, Finally the version that contains the dialogues during the intro, it's almost impossible to find on KZfaq, very good man ;)

17 years ago... . wow.

There are no words to describe how much I love Silent Hill. I hope it'll be a huge part of my life for many years to come

Oh to think, this video soon approaches 20 years old.... I'm still here for you all.... See? I'm real.

Depression, lonelyness, spurned love, unsatisfyable desires, damnation, feelings of guilt, remorse, loss, so many memories of certain situations in my recent life, the music is triggering combined with James's story...

To those of you who keep stumbling across this video...it doesnt matter who I am. I'm here for you user... see? I updated.

i play every winter this game..from first to the last one... and repeating again... i´m crazy.

The best video game intro ever, no one has pulled like that the melancholy & the happiness all at once in this intro & it's music.

I heard that SH2 is perfect. Well, I played the whole game, and I realized that it's a way better than perfect!

2:01 Her yelling actually startled me first time I saw it. I love this game.

Remake will never top this creepy and haunted artstyle and atmosphere.

I can't be the only one who cries watching this

Where is the games like this today ? Where are Parasite Eve and Silent Hill ?

Man I want a true HD collection of this game and silent hill 3

The way the "oh its you" syncs with the music gives me goosebumps

本当に引き込まれるような素晴らしい曲だ。大人の哀愁・物悲しさを醸し出しながらどことなくホラーにも合う雰囲気。最高！

Got watery eyes again...damn it The most compelling and complete and devouring depressing yet haunting yet beautiful yet compassionate horror game ever. No other horror game can ever dethrone this. Not Resident Evils, not Dead Space, not Outlast. No one.

James... You made me happy.

this has to be the greatest opener in video-game history

I will never forget going into the store and buying this game. Playing this was definitely like no other 💕

I think I can quote this intro word for word

Theme of Laura is so beautiful, and with the characters talking it's like it is brought to live.

Of all the games I ever played, this is the best. Red Dead 2 is rivalling it now, but SH2 will always be the game that made me cry.

Damn this always gives me such specific vibes. Love how the music doesn't start right from the beginning. Silent Hill. Don't think there'll ever be something quite like it again.

I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest game of all time.

ooouh . akira is the best genious in the history of the music of silent hill . and the best game in the history!

This is what was fascinating to me about silent hill. The first game was great, but it felt like the story had a finality to it, however its sequel proved that silent hill itself was an entity that didn't just tie itself to the cast of the first game, the pull and energy of the town effected the lives of many people completely unrelated to the story of Alessa, Harry and the others, its power pulled in many to it and created a hell for them either to overcome or be consumed by.

I am... if you want me to be.

Beautiful days have passed

16 YEARS AGO HOLY MOLY SO GOOD

truly an amazing game...haunting to this day....i miss silent hill.

Almost 20 years since I played this game and I keep coming back to that intro.

I always assumed it was Maria's body at the elevator at the end of the long hallway where she and James "got separated"

Damn man 17 years and we get this masterpiece back again

This is hauntingly beautiful

Definitivamente es un genio el animador de este juego. Es tan realista que perturba y fascina al mismo tiempo. Este juego es una joya.

Something about this Guitar Riff at 2:43 I don’t know what it is but this is probably was the reason I got into Silent Hill this Year in 2022

out of all the video game trailers..this one is just stay close to my heart.

Back when i had completely lost myself in depression i decided to pick up the silent hill hd collection for the xbox 360. Let's just say the Laura ending which i got made me realize there was a light at the end of the tunnel and being able to beat all the puzzles without a walkthrough definitely helped my self esteem

Theme of Lauraがホント心にブッ刺さる

When i first heard this theme, i was like DAMNNN

Obsessed with this intro. The music is pure bliss.

Konami and Bloober Team....DO NOT screw this remake up!

This is a pure art

❤ quedó perfecto, me encanta, es una de las obras maestras más importantes de la historia.

Easily my favourite intro to any Video Game. Equally compelling as it is ominous, it completely engrosses me every time i watch this Video. Thanks for uploading this.

strangest thing here is not that op is responding after 16 years, but its that the video quality didnt degrade after all these years and video still looks the same as the intro

I just love this opening. The music is incredible!

These games tugs so many heart strings, well I guess, the first four got me... it's like they tear into your soul with the story, and then the music puts you into the shoes of the main character... It's literally art, but in video game format

Can't wait to see what they do with the remake. I hope it can match the original or come close to it.

Man i love this series still, many years later. The music resonates with me

これが16年前に投稿されてるのがすごい

It’s amazing how something so upbeat can be so terrifying

This is still the greatest video game opening of all time

Daaaaamn there’s something about ps2 graphics that breaks my mind . Silent hill 2 and Metal gear solid 3 was the best Konami gave us! And probably the best of the console .

One of the best openings ever made... I love to come back to this game once in a while. Truly a masterpiece

Welcome to Silent Hill! I see you are new here. So here, have a brochure and be sure to visit our cult---I mean church.

One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. This game is amazing. The intro is fantastic. And the music is incredible.

It's a masterpiece. There's something terrifically sentimental, psicollogical in this game .

feels so rare seeing a 17 years old video... the time..

Gosh i wish i could forget it... Still hits me hard.

This game still haunts me. One of the few games that had me contemplating the outcome after the ending.

Just finished the game a minute ago this game is just master piece (game complete at 22/01/24 time 1 clock and 5 minute in night)

تحفة بتبقى بالتاريخ للابد💘

Twenty twenty fucking four and im still enchanted with this shit

... This remnant of awesome horror quality... Fuck you, KONAMI, you murdered it... Let you be damned for it...

Im thankful i grew up surrounded by this franchise. Silent hill 2 was the first my mom picked up. I always remember hearing the games soundtrack, Akira Yamaoka has been etched into my memory.

The best... Ever. Thank team KCET. You Make Me Happy...

I hope they keep this in the remake

Great job mixing the music and dialogue!

Came here to pay my respect to this once in our lifetime game 😢

La mejor intro de la historia, este juego es una obra maestra, para los que dicen que los videojuegos no son arte, he aquí una la prueba que los desmiente, este juego me hace sentir tantas cosas que no puedo describírlo, me alegra haberlo encontrado y jugado... Larga vida Silent Hill...

This game genuinely has my heart every single time

Soo many years have passed and still..😢❤️

September 24th marks the day of silent hill 2's anniversary.

Such a beautiful sound track. Makes me feel like I’m missing something and at the stage of idk what to call it

The scenes that werent in the game always interest me alot.

A masterpiece.

I watched your video at 2007 with my other account. Now I m here again. Played this game many times. I miss old times. Probably best game ever created in this universe.

Nostalgia!

when they talk in the begging its like a frekin wierd vibe then all of the sudden the music takes u over *_* then u are just starting silent hill 2...

I remember playing it for the first time on PlayStation 2. It was an amazing feeling

nearly 20 years later people are STILL talking about the masterpiece of this game

This is fucking masterpiece

I love how this is in my recommended

this intro is as beautiful as the tekken 5 one, both marks of a beautiful childhood i was blessed to have

Still updating my man. Thanks for uploading this, it is appreciated. Game is timeless, even almost 20 years from it

Damn you Konami

this game does not need a remake
