Removing the murder sentence from the radio message was a must. So glad they've made that decision.

Wow, they were originally gonna spoil that James killed Mary literally at the start of the game? Real glad they changed that.

To be honest the one thing I preferred from the early version was the lack of sound the monster makes when hitting it, makes it way more creepy.

Has the Silent Hill 1 Early disc ever found??? Allegedly, versions sent to the guide book company had different puzzles for locations like “Nowhere” where instead of Leg counting puzzle, it was an astrological puzzle. I still want to play that version!

After some googling, I found a leaked trial version of the third game. If you could do a video on that, it'd be great.

Still looks better than the HD collection

now for the lost prototype/story of silent hill 3, that everyone from team silent refuses to elaborate on.

I think the “shit” part, the music starting after Angela said “Oh it’s you” and the dark outside of the apartment would’ve been cool to keep!

Silent Hill 2, my beloved

The retail version is better at everything, except that meeting with Angela. The music not playing at her introduction is much more ominous 😮

I wonder if theres any prototype assests in the disks storage

The “shit!” he said when he’s in the closet would have been a cool detail to include into the retail

Regarding the radio message, if the player really pays attention to it, they can still hear Mary saying "why did you kill me?" Not so subtle, heh? But the main thing about SH2 is not what happened to Mary but why James did it.

The static in Mary's message is randomized every playthrough upon hitting the New Game button. It is rare, but absolutely possible that you will hear most of the sentence of "why did you kill me" at the start of the game.

I binged watch your entire channel. You bring out stuff that are absolute bangers.

I don't know if this was in this version, but having Pyramid Head roam around would have been a really nice touch. And the fact that so many games in the future capitalized on this stalker/roaming enemy design, I would argue it's Silent Hill 2's biggest missed opportunity.

Love that your uploading on a daily basis my friend love your content!

While it's certain that this builds up a type of myth within a community, generally these things are cut for good reason. Whether it ends up being good or even great is purely theoretical since many think about it in a very particular way and not the way the developers intended or thought of it.

I just want to say thank you for the uploads !!! So awesome

Your channel is a goldmine, thank you.

I didnt know about this! Honestly, I prefer the original version of how promise reprise played in the Angela cutscene. What a good video! :) just subscribed

There is also a difference at the 9:00 mark with textures between this prototype and the final version. 9:00 The sidewalk is clean leading up to the front apartment doors 9:10 In the final version, The sidewalk is grittier and there's a long white skid mark followed up by multiple marks from possibly; Pyramid Head's Great Knife leading up to the gate.

I have been a fan of Silent Hill for years I've never seen any different versions of the Silent 2 storyline but am curious to know about them I'm facinated with these kind of stories the town was full of life people were nice and then cults moved into the town they conducted rituals opening doors to other worlds you can't see these passageways allowing monsters to pass through somehow Laura the girl always on the run has no contact with any of those things around that town . Thanks for the video on this can there be more of them ?

wasnt expecting a silent archive post today but im not complaining lol

The intro made me watch the video . I like your style. Keep up the good work

Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing this. A lot of this was not heard of before and I played it when it first came out.

Haha great intro, and slick production. Another aweosme video 👏

You are the greatest. Love this vid, I want more!!

❤❤❤ Thanks for showcasing this :)

Still a better build then the silent hill hd remasters 😂

Wow I never knew about this ! That’s really interesting I made a analysis style video on SH2 a few months back and never came across this during research, a few points quite cool about the early version I like is it’s getting dark outside toward the end of your time in the Woodside apartments as can be seen on that balcony, I think the creatures not making any noise is quite unsettling and I like that the radio static still remains after pyramid head disappears it almost makes you feel he’s still there lurking but you don’t know where.. and for the bad points it’s a good thing they changed that subtitle in the radio message too, imagine us having that reveal spoiled that early in the game haha 😂 as well as I think entering the Woodside apartments and facing forward from behind James was the right choice as the sudden change to silence and that nearly pitch black empty foyer is really a creepy moment, also maybe that change from the angle above the body that has the apartment key was to hide the face/body a little more as I remember in the making of someone says all the corpses James sees are his exact character model so maybe it was to hide it away or make it a little more obscure ? Awesome video man ! Subscribed !

I loved your video man, looking forward to more content by you! God bless you G 💯💯💯

Its veey interesting to see the early beta of Silent Hill 2. Great to know tge differences between the early and final versio s of the game.

Will you be makin a video on Crow Country since its released now

I would insert the disc inside the ps2 ASAP!

Nice video! I really liked SH2 but will probably never replay it because of the sirens...

Keep in mind the difference between the Enhanced Edition and the original version. The enhanced edition changed some colors and graphics

The fact that this build is more intact and working than the HD Collection says a lot..

Would this restore the source they lost for the game for a possible rerelease or it wont work that way.

amazing video!

I'm diving into this channel the past few days and enjoying the content here much. Ist may sound stupid but is this channel somehow connectet to blameitonjorge? Voices of the narrator are eerily similar.

Loved this !!

All these little details, man

What is the music that plays from the beginning of the video, right until 20 seconds into it? I've heard it on another video, but this time on Gameological Dig's video about the significance of whales in Dishonored and eversince, I haven't been able to find it. Can you please tell me the name of this track? It would be much appreciated, thanks

The jacket also moves much more realistic in the prototype than in the final version. My 2cents.

i don't know if i'm crazy but i can't find the download link anywhere

I feel like the shit line when you unload on Pyramid Head makes way more sense given James's character instead of the like G'd up teeth gritting in the final version

Where you can download the game??? Couldnt find any links

Actually you can skip the coming soon by game codes and pyramid head pyramid was seen in streets

Too bad it's not longer, would've been really cool to play the full early version.

Akira is a musical legend. ⚡️

I love Silent Hill. I wish I could play that version

This game still haunts me. It was amazing!

i wish this could happen with the earlier versions of resident evil 4 with the ghost technical demo and the combination of the fixed cameras and over the shoulder cam.

Finally found my people... Subscribed instantly!

I first thought the video was about the lost source code of the game...

I have an xbox series X and I got the HD version, I know it’s not the best for a first play-through but im still excited to finally play the game for myself

ah yes the deep lore...

Just wanted to say that I love Silent Hill. Especially 2 and 3.

Great Intro

Silent Archives, where can we download this Lost Version at? Thanks

so you mean the first version i played was the old one? whoa

😂 that's almost how my all disc's look like. Back in the day 😂

HD collection was the beta released

tons of this stuff floating around. when you worked at videogame magazines youd get a game like 6 months or more before release to start writing reviewa or guides. I got to write a review of Interstate 76 for pc gamer Korea and they gave me an alpha version. same for KKnD and Magic Carpet. you do agree that you wont spread it on the net or physically through. i assume with all the konami hate someone just leaked it finally

So good to see the Silent Hill fandom rise up again

Holy shit whaaat?!?!

Hey hello. Thank you for the video. I have a cutscene from this version on my channel. Can you compare, I don’t know any differences except the text at the very end

In e3 trailer Mary instead of Maria

To be honest, it's still mostly the same minus a few unfinished stuff since it's in a beta state. It's not that groundbreaking, I woulda been fine playing this version even if it's 'less polished'.

Please do not stretch 4:3 image to 16:9 😭

Didn't they end up reusing that voice line? I could swear I've heard him say it at some point.

I have an even earlier version that has cut content like the roaming pyramid head

the song you have playing at 0:00 for a couple seconds, wheres that from or what's it called??

The Jacob Crane Edition.

It's obviously just a demo

11:50 that was probably a censored thing like appease the America rating system etc so many things changed because of western perception YET somehow re2 remake we get to see the guts of the cop spread out pulling from the shutter The japenese version no gutts

Um… sounds to me like it was meant to be a demo.

Its a more complete version then silent hill "HD COLLECTION"

Thunder Bay was supposed to be Silent Hill . If the Russians and Oghamites hadn•t "deconstructed" it , it would have cohered into it on its own . --Se

Fuck i hav to play it i have this game but i never played it!

Super interesting

Silent Hill 2 is still the best horror game ever made, the game gives me sad depressant vibes and hopelessness, no other game has done that to me.A lot of it is the music, the art and graphics especially some of the monsters like Abstract Daddy, Pyramid Head and the nurses.

the wrong spelling of the word welcome reminds me of resident evil 2. i wonder if there is a connection or if it is coincidence.

Something about the original delay of Promise (Reprise) just really hits the spot. I dunno what it is about it, but I love it. Also, to everyone who thinks it isn’t a big twist that James killed Mary, and they could have kept the spoiler up front… well, some of us are dumbasses and were blown away by the revelation 😭

Vids starts at a shocking 3:57

This one is less difficult to find than the racist Persona: Revelations, but nonetheless hard to get.

👌

Wow insane had they not removed that line that James killed Mary, it would have changed our whole perspective on the game if we saw it as a masterpiece or not.

This game didn't need remake it looks better when in her graphics time

Sad that ,bloober team is ruining the remake ...sad times to live in ...

This looks so messy, it’s hilarious. Not bad, but I seriously wonder if anyone in the dev team or at Konami remembers what makes the original so special to this day.

Why do you show us a 4:3 game in 16:9?? It looks disgusting with that ratio.

First!!!!!!!11ELEVEN!!!!

Blooper team has made a complete mess of the new 1 what a waste!!!!!!

You have such cool content to talk about but could you atleast pretend to sound like you care? You sound so damn bored that it's stopped me from watching your videos every single time. I keep seeing your vids pop up in my reccomendations but every time I watch one it's always the same vibes; although in saying that I rekon I could fall asleep to your videos in under a minute

SH2 and 3 was crap. Almost no variation of monsters. And not scary at all. Even the fog physics gives no feeling like in SH1.

Didnt they make the same spelling kistake in resident evil with it being spelled wellcome

how can I download the demo version of this?
