I learned it's better to accept new changes in New media rather than expecting old things in remakes to stay the same and just try something diffrent I feel it's better that way so that I don't take disappointment so hard..thanks for the video

Dont call these guys fans😉

They're so obsessed with the Twin Peaks and David Lynch vibe and flavor of the Original Team Silent FOUR that's why. They think it's lost in the later Western made games and now the upcoming remake.

​​@@mr.sinjin-smyth The original team Silent doesn't even exist, it's nothing more than a fairytale invented by the fandom

You are talking about a very abused group of people. I hope your gravestone is written in comic sans.

Yeah real fans just shut up and consume product and then get excited for next product. 😂🤡

100% agree, it's quite off putting to new fans seeing the community online mostly toxic. Appreciate you checking out the video!

@@VoidRetrothere’s a reason the community is toxic. Mainly Konami’s greed. Now we have dei injection to deal with and we need to eat that? No.

@@antontarasov7921 There are faults on both sides. The so called fans who just wanna be toxic, bandwagon on fake hate and these people employed in the industry who just wanna force agendas into games they don't even play. It's a great thing that i think for myself, because this whole situation has gotten out of hand. I'm buying the game, i'm gonna play through it and then judge on the actual things that i did/didn't like. I'm not missing out on the entire game just because some people feel something that i do not.

Yeah, they are really putting a lot of focus into convincing people that game is terrible and there are a lot of people bandwagoning on the hate too.

@@LandofBrickForests u do u. Personally I understand very well why they hired Bloober. It was cheap. Had they rly cared about the series and its legacy, they’d do it internally, like capcom. So, they basically saved on devs and charged 70 bucks + upcharged us for 48h early access. Idc, I’ll buy it too just to see it like you said. However, there’s a solid ground for criticism and imo the community has all the rights for toxicity.

that isn't true lol

​@@RickySandman21he said that in the dev konami interview. So where is your source to show it isnt true?

@@tachannel4497 because they clearly arent! LOL. Like VISIBLY with your own TWO eyes!

@@RickySandman21 duh tard! But who do you think told bloober to do it?

@@RickySandman21 you dont say. Now who do you think signs these things off and says "yes, thats approved".

Ive never personally played the orignal games but god damn ive been invested in this before they made the announcement to this game

I see this comment a lot. I've played every game in the series multiple times, 2 and 4, especially. I'm one of the 10 people who played that dogshit diablo clone book of memories. Even then, it was mainly for the soundtrack. I want a good silent hill game i even liked downpour, but remaking 2 and removing the camera angles (which was an artistic choice by team silent in the OG), removing the sexualisation of Maria the whole point of her character being a made up version of mary james wished she was, even in the cutscene cinematography shown in the footage we have is the bog standard pan on character talking switch to different character talking (like fallout 4 for a reference) the voice acting somehow being worse than the HD collection redub, the voice acting in the original also added to the atmosphere and dreamlike vibe the game has. Look at interviews with james OG voice actor he even says as much. What this looks like is homecoming with somehow worse graphics and models. The jury is out on gameplay and could be less clunky than homecoming or just as bad. I don't blame bloober team they clearly wanted to do the camera angles and be a updated version of the OG they did it well with the medium. It's more konami meddling with them not understanding the game and overruling anyone making the game who does.

what kind of straw-man statement is this? why would anyone actively be disappointed and compain about something they never played before?

Exactly. They're like "Meeeh Angela is so ugly. They made her fat. She used to be so pretty" which is hilarious because first, Angela was never pretty to begin with and second, she ISN'T supposed to be beautiful. She's a girl who went through some heavy shit, we can't expect her to look like a hot girl next door.

@@fumomofumosarum5893 In fact what I've seen the most when people voice complaints is "you probably haven't even played the original".

Exactly what I think lol, it could be 1.1 and they would still go OMFGGG THE FOG IS TOO THIN...

@@VoidRetro PyRaMiD hEaDs HeLmEt iS tOo PoInTy 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just be happy we're getting a remake of SOMETHING for gods sake - if they carry on behaving like this, Konami really will ditch the whole series!

@PhexxiePlays lmao 😅 I can honestly see genuine reddit posts about stuff like that pickin everything apart come release. 100% we are lucky to have this and MGS Delta coming.

tiny changes? They made her fat and ungly on purpse. What a moron

When has silent hills fans complained about making something identical? I'll wait.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this trend and issue, thanks for checking out the video Dakota 🤗

Exactly. I feel like those are gamers who've never played the original because if they did, they would know that Angela isn't supposed to be pretty. Maria is of course but Angela isn't of those female characters that is meant to make people attracted to her or something. She's been put through hell, her dad molested and beat her. Are we going to pretend that people like her are interested in taking care of themselves? No, she doesn't want to look pretty, she neglects herself to keep the men away from her.

Attractive people can also experience trauma you bigot

Agreed. oH nO, tHe 17 YeAr oLd ViCtIm oF iNc3sT r@p3 iSnT A hOt oLdEr wOmAn nOw!!!¿11! Stay offline kids, internet will rot your brain.

There's no reason to change Angela's design, there's no reason to get rid of the fog, there's no reason to put meek facial expressions on Maria, again you're messing with a cult classic, that's a cult classic for a reason and if you're fundamentally tinkering with it and changing it whilst calling your reimagining a remake we are going to have a problem. The job of graphically remaking games should be the easiest job in the world, you already have the plot, the characters and the overall design set up you just need to re-create it in higher graphical fidelity. That's all, nobody wants these folks to reimagine popular classics or bring in new writers to change the plot, we don't want the original experience replaced by something inferior, we just want it remastered, you know?

@@liquidsnake6879 i do agree with some of your points and i know Silent Hill 2 in specific is a delicate game to be making reimaginations, but that's also kinda the thing about Remakes, unlike Remasters they have the freedom to make a few changes in character design or even level design, yes they could just leave it all untouched but sometimes risks can result in something interesting, the best examples would be Ashley from Re4 Remake being totally different from the original, the Ishimura from Dead Space Remake being fully explorable instead of being linear and everything about Mr. X from Re2 Remake If i'm gonna be honest my biggest worries are how the combat is going to play (cause oh boy if a lot of RE fans are going to think this is an action horror game) and hope the puzzles stay the same, including the ones that are almost impossible to guess

@@Cappuccino_Rabbitbros more worried about combat than how the game looks itself 🤦‍♂️

​@@liquidsnake6879 What you're describing is a remaster. Remake is much more than graphical fidelity. Remake is supposed to tell the same story but in a totally different way. It's not supposed to be 1:1 with the original but with better graphics.

@@MultiKamil97 Sadly remasters tend to be too lazy, like upscales and stuff like that, i've very rarely seen remasters that actually update the graphics fully, with new shading, new textures, new models etc one of which is Metroid Prime Remastered. But those kinds of remasters are the exception rather than the rule. In general i think that's what people really want, nobody asked for these kinds of re-imaginings of beloved games, we already like them as they are, we never asked for someone to come in and re-imagine them. You do that with games that sucked, not games that were hits and are beloved classics you know? The line between Remaster and Remake is still very blurred in that way, because of the laziness of remasters. To me that's the whole question, who actually called for a remake/re-imagining of Silent Hill 2? Or was it that people called really for a proper remaster and Konami chose to interpret it as a call for a remake?

Oh I'm aware he was barely involved as is, it's just such a huge thing people go on about constantly I needed to mention he had little to no involvement as is. Team Silent were only involved with the first 3 if I remember?

@@VoidRetro Team Silent were involved with the first 4 games of the franchise. I only mentioned the first 3 in my previous comment because the 4th one wasn't regarded as highly as the first 3 Some prominent members of the team are: 1. Keiichiro Toyama - director of the 1st game, left after the 1st game, went on to make games like Siren & Gravity Rush, his new upcoming game is a horror game called Slitterhead 2. Masahiro Ito - background and creature designer, worked on SH 1-3, famously known as the creator of Pyramid Head, one of the two members of the team that Bloober brought back for the remake, very active on Twitter too these days though you should be careful not to annoy him or else he'll block you 😅 3. Takayoshi Sato - CGI creator, worked on SH 1 & 2, famously known for working on the 3D cutscenes SOLELY by himself, took him nearly 2,000 hours to complete, and during much of this time period the schedule would be so demanding that he would sleep under his office desk 4. Hiroyuki Owaku - scenario writer, worked on SH 1-3 5. Akira Yamaoka - sound director and the games composer, worked on all main SH games except Downpour, famously known for all the great soundtracks from the franchise, also brought back by Bloober for the remake just like Ito P.S. You should watch a video by TheGamingMuse titled "Creating Silent Hill" where she talked more about Team Silent journey in creating the franchise

Yeah, some people in the comments act like if Kojima was a huge character in the development of Silent Hill games. The man barely even made ONE Silent Hill game.

Kojima wasn't in team silent but he did create PT. barley? Chico from mgsV was in the trailer of the game lmao.

@@RickySandman21 What's your point then? Yes. Barely. A 2 hour demo of P.T. (a teaser not even a game) compared to entire franchise of Silent Hill 1-4 where he had nothing to do with. So "barely" is a fair statement when mentioning Kojima involvement with the franchise

The lack of deluxe or collectors is a little sad indeed but I agree totally on your other points too, I hope we get many endings and outfits. Plenty of new and old surprises. Thanks for watching!

I personally love what they did with SH the message and how the fog itself is phenomenon now that can go anywhere. Other fans hate it. They just want the game to stay the same forever and this remake is trying to do something slightly different.

Same. SH2 is my all time favorite game. I am so hyped for this. I was only a little sad at James' original face but this one they went with is perfect imo. The graphics and everything looks outstanding. There's nothing I'm seeing that looks bad and the crazy hate and, honestly, conflicting complaints I'm seeing is wild to me.

They're so obsessed with the Twin Peaks and David Lynch vibe and flavor of the Original Team Silent FOUR that's why. They think it's lost in the later Western made games and now the upcoming remake.

@@mr.sinjin-smyth the thing is the later games still had that vibe anyway so idk what people are on about. When Origins came out I was like "yay, silent hill game" and it freaked me out just as much as the prior games. Same with Downpour. The arguments about "the vibe" are not serious, imo.

@@MuffinMcMaster Not to mention the symbolism factor, with Maria's remake outfit being a perfect example, which they consider as completely missing the point. There's just no pleasing these hardcore Silent Hill / Survival horror fans.

It's disheartening and weirdly contagious for chronically online gamers.

well everything touched by woke turns to shit.

I'm also against WOKE but gamers today seriously exaggerate this term and think that a girl not looking hot is automatically WOKE. They just went too crazy about it to the point where they see woke-ism everywhere they look. They act like if every female character should be a sexy gal with big boobs and big ass which is hilarious because while I like hot girls in games also, I think that not every woman in the game NEEDS to be hot. In Angela aspect, she's supposed to be everything but hot. She isn't there to attract male gazes, she's a victim of mental and physical abuse, her being ugly is what makes her more believable. I wouldn't expect a victim of abuse to take care of herself.

Honestly I've heard people call games "woke" so much that its lost all meaning to me, and now I just say it randomly with no real purpose, similar to calling something "skibidi" or "sigma". The "word" is just a joke now

@@MultiKamil97”woke” is just a term that ppl throw on things they don’t like. If you’re not a racist, homophobic, misogynist then you’re “woke”

I am very excited too, yes this is the era and generation of remakes but it was bound to happen for many cult classics!

No Silent Hill vibe in the remake at all bud.

That's great to hear an OG fan is having faith in the remake 🙏 but I do agree, if they changed entire plot points, characters and the location. Sure it needs to be called out. But this? Is a remake haha.

@@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005 It’s coming to Steam as well.

@@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005 It’ll most likely go multi platform eventually.

I think they look fine personally, but my god it’s good to see a rational criticism.

How is combat improved? It look awkward and in the bad way. Combat in the original was bad amd it understood it. It was never action oriented and was treated like a punishment or an obstacle. This game tries so hard for combat to look "cool" with this camera shake and exaggerated animation and brutal takedowns. But it just looks goofy and out of place

I generally agree with your point, but here Maria's outfit is an illusion created by James mind. The fact that a developer can't show a female belly scares me more than silent hill.

And exactly this kind of attitude and downtalk, how a "real" woman has to look like, brought this backlash. That's why Stellar Blade excelled and SH 2 and others fail. Just beeing close to DEI or trying to message any of it, is the kiss off death. Most fans don't want to buy some political message and so one studio after studio fails in search off the legendary "modern" audience. By the way this uglification hits only the females, the dudes stay hot, if that isn't intentional, I don't know.

I'm a hetro guy who likes attractive women but I don't need every woman I see to be a sex object. I can go while without without needing a waifu in a game at all. Honestly find the whole culture war around this super confusing, and even more cringe. Like can't these guys just go to pornhub or something?

I agree, RE fans are some of the most toxic people I've come across. In creator circles I actively avoid them now. They did the same to alone in the dark recently

That's where alot of the hate is coming from. People who never even heard of silent hill until Kojimas PT and never played a resident evil until the remakes. The modern toxic generation of gamers

@@MrSwitchblade327 That's the thing though. I feel like I'm in a minority of people who are fans of Silent Hill more than RE, but want to preserve what makes Silent Hill what it is.

I've been a fan of both RE and Silent Hill since they first came out (the first two of each mostly) I'm actually expecting a Silent Hill 2 remake from Silent Hill 2 remake, I guess we're not all "braindead" after all. If I'm going to bring up RE, I would want the SH2 remake to be made with the same love and hard work that was put into the RE1 remake where Capcom expanded on the original and added slightly more without it coming across as a cash grab or rushed like the other RE remakes.

@@BarryBBurton Unfortunately, as far as I know, no one from Team Silent is associated with the remake and it's just Bloober team.

Lol now imagine if Shattered Memories released now as opposed to back then, these same people that are praising it would tear it to shreds

@@rusi6219 Facts... I feel like even if this remake ends up being objectively incredible they will still cry over the smallest thing's. If they keep this up Bloober won't wanna remake SH 1, 3 and/or 4... Neither will any other studio. Think about it, if you where a director at any game studio, would you wanna subject yourself and you're team to what Bloober is going threw now? I wouldn't, if I was a director working at say CapCom, I wouldn't wanna get near this fan base after watching this unfold, never. The wild part to me is... It's coming out day one on PC and its a UE5 game... It's going to be easy as fk to mod, within 5 hours of the game coming out there will be videos of James fighting Thomas the train uploaded to KZfaq. Why are they hating, Bloober NAILS environments, these haters have a beautiful foundation to easily make the game they want if they are really so unhappy with Bloober and Ito's vision. There is no reason to not cheer on Bloober and hope they are successful enough to make a remake of 1, 3, 4 and maybe even Book of memories... Hell even a Downpour remake could be cool if they had Ito and Yama help revamp it. With PC ports that can be easily modded, why wouldn't we want that?

They're so obsessed with the Twin Peaks and David Lynch vibe and flavor of the Original Team Silent FOUR that's why. They think it's lost in the later Western made games and now the upcoming remake.

@mr.sinjin-smyth fr, like idk what's up with that. You should go on some different channels and look at the comments, it's literally the most hateful stuff. Good to know there's still people out there that are going to give this game a fair shot. We're in this together bro

@mr.sinjin-smyth I mean I get it yk. I'm trying to see their side of it too. They are fans and want to play a faithful remake i understand it but I mean I guess I just truly don't see anything wrong with this one idk

@mewtcat you clearly didn't read all of my comments, I said I'm trying to see other sides of it too. When I say I see a lot of hate i mean I do see a lot of hate..... I believe we all should be able to share our opinions, and if my opinion is that there is too much hate then I can believe that too.

Just because you are a fan of something doesn't mean you can do a good job replicating it. Judging by their games they never actually understood what made Silent Hill 2 so special

Angela's eyebrows do look like they were drawn on by a kid with a sharpie. Hair doesn't seem very detailed either unlike James', but that could also be due to video compression muddying things up. In the scene where her and James are in a dark room and she's telling him he shouldn't be here, her face does look more detailed.

In those interviews the cast feel pressured its kind of sad

Indeed I agree, dear space was pretty much a 1 for 1 remake and it bored me. Resident evil 4 was a perfect remake that changed a good amount but kept the spirit of everything.

​@@VoidRetrolol it wasn't. They've changed the story, made the whole game open-ended, reworked all weapons, rebalanced enemies too, added random encounters, changed bosses, gravity sections, added new stuff including lore, ending and some unlocks, free roam... Gosh you're as petty as SH fans rn. And unlike you they're right because Remeke tonally ruined many things that were important (everything dreamy, James to be tired all the time, character who embodied lust now being nice and regular, added scene w Angela to remove the contextual part of the Abstract Daddy and leave no place for the interpretation ("tell him I'm good please" moment which was into the face explanation), janky fight system, first monster meeting being less scary, and removed the Mary's spoiler censured talk from the radio, James being the normal guy instead of the broken man he was, even with the way he talks, "press X to do the thing"and tons of scripts bc "zoomers are dumb", while in the og James moved his head to the objects you had to use, and a lot of other inferior changes tbh.

​@@Eric_Nomad_Hixtoneman, chill out. You sound like you already played the game lol

​@@Eric_Nomad_Hixtone You tend to forget that the times have changed and games aren't played by veterans anymore. There is much more casual players nowadays and you can't expect the studios to make the game as hard as it was back in the day. In Morrowind for example you had to follow the directions that NPCs gave you. In Oblivion they already gave you a compass with an icon where you're supposed to go. I don't like the games becoming easier and explaining everything to me either but I understand that it's absolutely necessary for the new players.

As someone who has played every Silent Hill many times silent hill 1 5 times Silent hill 2 11 times Silent Hill 3 25 times Silent 4 2 times silent hill homecoming 1 time and silent hill downpour 1 times Trust me I am A real fan. I have written many walkthroughs and never published them. I don’t care about any of the looks and designs, I think everything looks great except Maria. Yes Maria is a sub conscious manifestation of James, because if his sexual frustration with his wife. That’s the entire reason Maria exists. That’s my genuine critique. I am Not understanding why they are making her look so modest when her entire point, the only reason she is in the game, is to punish James for his hidden sexual frustration. However really that’s a big problem but it’s my only problem I have seen. I think everything else looks great. I like the gameplay and the graphics. I am Going to play it. However that definitely makes me worried. Why do they think “modern” people are offended by skin when literally just look Instagram and tik tok. It’s pretty obvious “young” “modern” people absolutely are not offended by over sexualized imagery. However again I will give them a chance to explain it and I hope they do. I think her clothing getting ripped during her being killed over and over could be a really smart way to expose James for his hidden desires. Also making Maria a more complex version I think is great too. However I find it crazy people don’t expect fans to be critical when this is probably the most sacred game out of all the silent hills. People still play it today as the best silent hill. Personally my favorite is Silent Hill 3 but Silent hill 2 is almost tied with it. Anyway I just hope the changes don’t change the essence of Maria because she was made that way for a huge reason, to punish James, just like everything else is the game. That’s why this is such a psychological horror masterpiece. From Maria to red pyramid thing, to each characters side stories it was a masterpiece. So when you change things too much you Absolutely rightfully could upset true fans. However one last time I will say the graphics, the atmosphere, bringing Akira back, the gameplay all looks super awesome.

You do you, I'll be enjoying the game.

I think that's just the angle of some of the shots personally but they have time to adjust it if most people notice an issue

@@VoidRetro I honestly think it's just her turtleneck covering her whole neck now makes her look different. (and that choice is intentional given her backstory)

I agree. I have no issues with angela's face. Just in comparison to the body something is off. I think it has something to do with the fact that she just doesn't have much of a shape. There are no curves like she is skinny but the face doesn't match that so there seems to be a disconnect in that way. Not body shaming because I am sure it exist in the world its just not the norm so I look at it and it just feels off. Stangely outside the graveyard cutscene she loos okay. Its just in the graveyard cutscene it seems off. Also alot of people had mention it just seems like less care was put into her model then other models which could probably be felt as well.

I'm so glad I'm not crazy. I was thinking this exactly. Like maybe her head is like 10% larger than normal? And the model is a bit lower res somehow. Idk what it is, but I still love her design and can't wait for the game.

@@alisondorantes-garcia5751 yeah I am totally fine with the design shown in the scene in the end of the trailer not the graveyard as they don’t look the same

Let's see your version then.

@@VoidRetro A silly response as I don't develop video games.

A silly comment deserves an equally silly response.

@VoidRetro How is it a silly comment? We're all entitled to sharing opinions and making comparisons as fans of the SH series; unless, that is, you're merely a mindless consumer - in which case, consume!

@drbalbon7332 Because the game doesn't look bland or anything like Homecoming. Visually and presentational it looks absolutely fantastic, the story we will have to see. Opinions are fine but commenting negativity is exactly the issue I said about in the video.

That sounds awesome. A better dive into the other world. I love the difficulty options and as far as encounter with first creature, I wished it was at the same spot like the original.

Very good statement here, it's true, some toxic fans are ruining it for new people but remember, just enjoy the game for yourself 👍

Take no notice. I’m a huge fan of the original, and I think this remake looks incredible. I have no idea what people are apparently seeing with Angela’s face and it just seems as if they’re actively looking to scrutinise it in every way possible. I’m avoiding all negative discourse so that it doesn’t tarnish my opinion or final experience, and you should definitely do the same. Just have fun and enjoy it, that’s all there is to it really.

I think most true og fans are actually excited for this actually and are pissed because if this is how people react to the return of the franchise it'll probably be the only one. We'd like to see 1 through 4 or at least 2,3 and 4 given this level of remake

Cuz it's not Konami. They picked good devs who like SH.

@@JewTube001 Yeah exactly like they did with Origins, Homecoming, Downpour, Book Of Memories. Lmao

I completely disagree with you here but it's good to have differing opinions, your not out right attacking it for silly reasons just what you believe which is fine. I do agree however, we should have got Silent Hill first like you said. Seems silly to jump to 2, but I still have some faith on this but we need to see more before I'm totally convinced. Bloober could be cooking something good, reviews will tell.

@Bibben yeah SH2R is more like the RE4R, quite a few liberties taken, and that did pay off so remains to be seen if this will 😊 but MGS3 remake is looking amazing!

I think this is a valid complaint, one of the only things I agree with changes that there needs to be a lore reason unless they become more sexualised as the game goes on

I don't see what you see. Maria still looks sexy and stands out, she's just modernized instead of wearing a 90's outfit and the nurses, as Fermi said, are wearing short skirts and cleavage is displayed. I don't know why you don't find Maria's redesign sexy. Maria wasn't even 'over sexualized' in the beginning - her skirt wasn't crazy short and she had a long sleeved button-up. She didn't even have cleavage showing in the OG :/ You saw her tummy and that was literally the most revealing thing. I would argue the black dress she's wearing IS sexualized.

But why modernize designs in the first place if the game is set during that time ​@@kellevichy

This is precisely it. The sexualized nurses were very specifically James’ own hell.

@@kevinbrodacki Remake = Elevating a game to its current standards ! A remake allows rooms for small change and you should try to make some as well.

I do agree with a lot of this, you have seen it with Short Message and other SH titles. People just love to complain about every aspect of a new entry when it's not what they personally want. I'm a huge MGS fan, love all of them except V, it's not for me, so I just don't engage with it, or play it. Very simple.

Also, the dudes, cause I know it's all dudes, calling Angela fat, I'd like to see pictures of how they all look. Are they slim and trim? Hunks of eye candy themselves? Or pudgy with a bit of a gut like me?

Fans created their own canon to why things are they'll way they are so when things change even just a little it feels like an attack on their intelligence. But little do they know almost everything we know about the messages in sh2 are things the FANS made up. True or not they ironically created their own hell

Absolutely. It probably is amazing and should get overwhelmingly positive if it’s good but silent hill fans will review bomb it because of something little like a certain character design. The nurses are no longer sexualized and I hear some people are freaking out because of the lore. In RE4 remake they made Ada Wong less sexualized and nobody cared, So they are just being fussy. This looks good and Bloober team is independent so you can’t expect it to look as good as RE.

She kinda adorable 👀

I agree, and I think as the game progresses she will become more "skimpy" as James loses his sanity.

@@VoidRetro this is an interesting thought, but we haven't seen anything alluding to that. I like the idea though.

I couldn't agree more, very good point.

What the hell!? I didn't know about that but I'm not surprised. Poor woman.

She did a fine job as ada, those morons just could stick with the og, if they can't handle a different take.

They were James dead bodies, they literally had his clothes, it was stated by the games creator.

Thanks for checking it out Ben!

Wholeheartedly agree on all these points, the fixed camera is a good idea tbh and yeah it needs some polish for sure but I'm impressed so far. If it goes well, they may even do 3 and 4!

The remake will be the best way to play it anyway, the only other ways are either on an Xbox (the HD version by backwards compatibility which is actually inferior), the original PS2 version or via emulation.

​@@tomparkin2068There's also the Enhanced Edition on PC

Yeah they do need to preserve these classics better but there's plenty of ways to play 2 right now. Emulation, PS2, PC modded, HD collection.

Was in reference to his involvement with PT/Silent Hills as people seem to think he was involved with the remake of 2.

@@VoidRetro ah my bad. I keep alternating between opinions on this game myself, but as a like nearly 20 year SH fan I can def agree that the fanbase can be quite unbearable at times

I'm glad OG fans are seeing the remake as a positive thing, thanks for checking out the video Lee!

You're mistaking a remake with remaster. This is a REMAKE, the changes to the plot and to characters and locations design are absolutely expected in a remake. In remake the story is meant to be the same but there is more freedom when it comes to anything else. Just like in Karate Kid remake. Instead of a Japanese and white, American boy, you have a Chinese and black, American boy. If they just improved the graphics, it would be just a remaster. Take a look at Mafia remake. They changed many things but kept the spirit of the original and it was freaking amazing remake. I'm sure it will be the same here. They will change a lot but many things will stay the same and we will have a balanced new experience.

Meh. Re3's issue is that it's too small and they didn't spend enough time on it. Can't see that being a problem here as Blooper actually wants to make this and isn't rushing to the next title like Capcom was.

@@JewTube001 Remake 3 problem was that it tried to change everything that made the original good. There’s almost nothing good in there besides graphics everybody agrees the original is better. The first warning was changing Jill, the second warning was how linear it was.

Too early to tell, I personally think she will lose clothing as the game goes.

I do agree with that

Yes I would like an extended story myself and RE fan base is one of the most toxic things I've come across. It's why I've not covered the games on my channel as of yet.

​@@VoidRetrofor me it's been opposite. I've always been around their YT channels and they are always nice w others. And the game analysis of J and others I've seen were also pretty cool. I was always welcomed there, never had any beef over anything. I guess I've landed on the better side of it

Now let me introduce you to the souls community...

That's a very good outlook

Well then play the original. And don't play the new one. This guy is right.

Whats wrong with marias face? Shes the same model as mary and nobody had complaints about the mary cover art

​@@ambrrrrrrrmary looks ok becuz its Mary. Maria doesnt becuz its maria ...

​@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relaxk

@@wookim9066 maria and mary both look the same thats kinds the point, the only problem would be the outfit

I totally agree with your words there

Couldn't agree more thanks for watching 🤗

My sentiments exactly.

@@killzoneroper I have played the original, which is precisely why I don't understand the hate

@@killzoneroper uh, ya. They look basically the same with just some little changes, like Maria's jacket for example. And Angela literally looks the same. They're just different actors. I mean, is THAT really what you're so upset about? Cause they slightly altered a character's outfit even though it still looks similar to the original. It's not like they fundamentally changed the core of the character, that I would understand. But, THIS?? It's just a slightly different wardrobe. It's fine if it doesn't work for you, that's not a problem. But, jumping to conclusions about the game based on just THAT is ridiculous. Just my opinion.

Well who do you think is gonna buy this game. The casuals or the fans and fanatics of Silent Hill 2. If you can not win those people into buying this game the game will fail. Just look at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth the second game barley catch 50% of the first game and even that is not sure and that because they changed way too many things most importantatly story.

@@doriansz3130 Doesn't have to fail at all. Just needs to find a new audience. The purists that hated RE4 never stopped the game selling, and most people who bought it didn't play the first. So that proves you wrong there.

I think the 'forced diversity' stuff is another issue entirely where I do see some valid points, especially if it can change or hurt a narrative. I just wish people would realise this is a remake, the original will always be there and no matter what it'll pale in comparison.

@@VoidRetro I don’t think remakes need to pale in comparison though. Dead Space and RE2 show what is possible.

@MisterCaution Generally they either are as good or worse, RE4R for me was far better than the original but other remakes I'm not always a fan of. I think this one will be decent.

How dare they make the SA victim androgynous. It's almost like that's the point, to hide her body.

Thanks for checking out the video and commenting dude 🙂 appreciate the time!

Agreed on this.

@@GIJane-nr2xm why would they work with a direct competitor who makes Resident Evil?

@@VoidRetro of course I know they wouldn't haha. It would just be cool for Silent Hill to get the attention and the funding it deserves.

@GIJane-nr2xm Oh 100% and I do agree they should have started with 1, or labelled this "Silent Hill: Subtitle" and then the order would not matter at all

Pawn it off? There's no team silent anymore and they're not going to hand the license to a rival. These devs picks are as good as we were ever going to get. Personally I would have made the same choices after enjoying The Medium, Observation and Resistance. Capcom does really over the top action horror games that wouldn't gel with SH's vibe anyway.

Also, I don't mind Maria's design at all really but there are a few details missing, I feel. In the original Maria NEVER ends up in a cutscene with other characters, cause she ain't real. That's a big misstep, almost as bad as when they put Pyramid head in Homecoming. Anyway, design wise she is fine, but the original is supposed to make her seem or more like look off putting in a sense, it's subtle but it's supposed to be the for a reason. Idk if it was the artsyle at the time but her eyes are also supposed to look a little bit more wild with a hint of Madness as well. This Maria is missing that for some reason. With Silent Hill attention to detail is VERY important to make it compelling. At least in my opinion.
