Imma be real, I’m not seeing what everyone else is seeing with the Silent Hill 2 remake gameplay. It really doesn’t look terrible to me

Does it look mind blowing and next level? Not at all, but it looks fine though. Kind of looks like they took the same steps the REmakes did which makes sense to me.

I think some improvements to animations would be good and the weird button prompts can be tweaked, but it looks good to me.

Like s*** like this is dumb as f*** to me, making your game intentionally clunky isn’t real lmao. I love the OG but I’m not excusing its bad combat as intentional

It looks like a budget indie version of RE combat

Also Silent Hill is all about slow atmospheric dread and the vibe of this was.. the opposite of that

Not saying the game will be bad btw, just that it was a bad/weird trailer and showcasing combat of all things for a Silent Hill is bizarre considering combat was never the focus at all in these games

why does james look even worse is my question

Combat doesn’t look 100% no, and if this had a release date with the trailer looking like this, then yeah, f*** this game.

I get the tone, and the only thing I can think of why they would make a trailer focused on combat is probably because it would be the “newest” feature of the game. And since it worked for RE, maybe they figured it would work here too

I completely agree with this

always has me dying

What Resident Evil remake is this?

Who the F thought that dropping a "combat trailer" for Silent Hill 2 was a good idea?
We wait 2 years since the announcement, they needed to set first the mood and vibe of this "remake" and not just throw at us the least important mechanic of this game.

Besides that, the remake music sounds incredibile (Akira the GOD) and the graphics and atmosphere seems very good.

Everything Konami made back then had some clunk to it. It was just whatever limitations they had back then idk bro acting like that wasn’t decades ago before they had the tech/skill to y’know, make things smoother.

First two new Silent Hill projects are right out the gate the worst received in franchise history.

God, imagine if every single one turns out bad.

Saw a post by Gene Park (writer on the Washington Post) describe the Short Message as “Silent Hill: maybe the real Suicide Squad were the friends we met along the way who all committed suicide”.

I didn’t grow up playing Silent Hill so I’ve never been able to experience the games. And I was really hoping these new games would bring back those vibes so I could finally dive in to this franchise

But it’s not looking promising

Play the originals friend

Literally even if they managed to do the perfect remake it will never replace the original

I misread ur post lmao I thought u were doing the classic “I’ll just wait for the remaster” type comment

reap what you sowe writing in the wall killed my hype a little

They should’ve remade SH1 tbh. SH2 is just too specifically weird to work as a remake, let alone one headed by goddamn Bloober Team.

SH2 kind of killed the franchise because every new entry following 4 (and the disbandment of Team Silent) is just trying to recapture the magic of 2, and they fail EVERY SINGLE F***ING TIME.

Silent Hill has sucked for 20 YEARS now.

i had to stop the short message this is so bad maybe i’ll finish it another time

Didn’t someone literally call her “stinky” as one of the insults or something?
