I hope this game blows everyone’s expectations clear out of the water. This game is so beloved I would hate to see it flop
Agreed. Liking the look of it so far!
The fact that it's beloved might be a reason it might flop because of high expectations.
@@AloneWolf-xb1so I also agree with you. The original was lightning in a bottle that will never be replicated perfectly.
@@UnclePhil1112the only way it could ever match the original, was if the original members of team silent reunited to remake it.
This was their Mona Lisa. Only they could remake it to the same level that the original had.
@@troyb4533 And film and game studios alike need to stop remaking everything. They do it because games and movies are so expensive to make now that they don't want to take risks.
They have a formula where if it's a remake they are guaranteed X amount of dollars returned.
They can't use that formula with new intellectual property which can just flop with no one buying it.
But the real problem here is that the money managers are all playing it safe, and when they screw up that game they need to be hated for it.
For me i am waiting for the release and not judging anything until i play it. I am still excited for this game can't come fast enough.
The wisest statement I’ve seen
That's good I just can't shake off concerns seeing things like the mash X prompt on screen I hated seeing that. I'm trying to be optimistic though but it's tough
Can't wait to play this as well. Definitely one of my favorite games from the PS2 era and I love the atmosphere shown in this remake so far
@@markwheeler4245 Okay but, it was always known in horror games back at the time that you button mash if an enemy grapples you to get it off faster. It's not an entirely new thing, it's always been there, it's just that they're showing it on screen now. Bearing in mind we're talking 20 years on, where info like that would be revealed through loading screens or gaming manuals inside the case, that kind of thing has diminished. Plenty of people just purchase things digitally now, and loading screens are becoming a thing of the past. How else are they to reveal these sort of mechanics other than prompting on screen? A good thing that some games offer is hiding HUD elements such as prompts, which the game may well have.
I know some players have a visceral reaction to things like these, but if they think calmy about the reasons why, they might change their perspective a little.
@MrRaxicorniopholus seriously?
I feel so bad for Bloober. Horrible bosses and loads of old fans that are already looking at everything they do with microscopic scrutiny.
All the old silent hill fans are acting like they can’t play the original games 🤦🏽♂️
@@fredo7540 Yah, bunch of childish snobs.
Oh poor developers with loads of fans. They have a fanbase who havnt got a SH game in over a decade, that's a good thing
Huge facts!
@@fredo7540Lmao that’s not it. It’s because although the original is a masterpiece, mechanically and graphically it’s dated and wonky and fans want THAT SAME EXPERIENCE but enhanced to a more modern look and control scheme. Fans feel the remake is not living up to that expectation so that’s why they’re complaining and even though I think the remake looks great so far, I’d say their complaints are justified because it can only make the game better.
I think if this game flops the fans will revolt against Konami and Bloober will never recover.
Define flop. An indie developer who made walking Sims is now AA developer & a household name. It'll sell at least a couple million, if not 5 million, & they will go on to make their next game like every other developer lol
@@Alien_isolationistand I’m hoping it’s great, I’m not cheering against bloober. I’m a fan of the original and I’m spending good money on this upcoming game.
@@BlueCollar850 but you did claim you're worried they'll never recover, & while the game is getting hated on, it's got a lot of support, & free publicity. I'm optimistic for SH 3
@@Alien_isolationistI guarantee you they won’t recover if the game turns out to be a failure. And Konami’s reputation will take a major hit because their fans will feel they ruined a very popular game and neglected to give their best.
@@BlueCollar850 define failure? 5 M Sales is a MASSIVE success, 2 million isn't a failure. Even if it gets a 70 on Meta, that's a AA success....
The development of this game is so dramatic😂🍿
Kinda obvious given the masterpiece that this game is
Screw how u feel I can't wait to play it
Big pressure. If it fails people will wait for another. Who will be the one.? Lmao.
I'll wait for the actual release to judge. However I do hope that someone at Konami screwed up and that combat trailer was of old footage because that gun gameplay is *terrible.*
Bad but not terrible. No need to exaggerate.
Context clues would definitely point to this being the case. It's typical in marketing to prepare footage MONTHS ahead of time for the publisher. This added with Bloober's statements before about Konami makes this very likely. This isn't the first time Bloober talked about Konami like this, I think Konami is being Konami and making really dumb decisions as Bloober just has to lay back and let it happen. I highly doubt Bloober would do something as controversial as release a trailer like that knowing how shaky their reputation is with gamers.
Also DuskGolem's comments (a very reliable leaker) about what he's seen was from MAY of LAST YEAR. So yeah....
Not even close to terrible…..
I remain hopeful that this will end up being an awesomely haunting game. Imagine if they DO make this a successful remake. Just think of the potential for SH1 and 3 being next! The OGs of our childhood growing up along with us! I would love that. And if it ends up not being a success, we will always have our original special place.
I agree with you totally but I have concerns because they went right for the most popular game without starting at the beginning and remaking Silent Hill 1. In my opinion it says a lot about their intentions and that money move doesn’t tell me they are good.
I have complete faith that Bloober will do this game justice. I'm pretty sure they care more about SH2 than Konami does
Same. Hopefully they come close to the original
My biggest problem with bloober is that they love silent hill 2, since they had 2 James like characters in their games that I know of, and both stories missed a point of his character.
Loving the presentation of this game so far 💯
Konami only cares about making pachinko machines. But in reality, they should care about this game, since this remake is their only chance at reviving the Silent Hill franchise.
I have no idea how anyone can say that the game looks good or promising especially when everything looks awkwardly like a residentil evil 2 from wish. The game looks awful in terms of environment as much as monsters behavior, and movement.
I STILL keep dreaming of seeing Silent Hill 1 to 4 collection PS Store and other modern platforms we NEED these classics available on modern hardware! Its easy money for Konami and they please fans! I hear what ur saying mate about u want something abit different to the original and i think id be more open to some changes IF i had easy access to the originals
Actually some of the silent hill titles will be ported over
@@kitsunexyoki3932when ?!
The Silent Hill Collection was created with missing source code. Don't know how they can fix that blunder.
This is how you make a good video, without a click-bait title. Probably the most calm, fair, and well presented video I've seen yet about SH2-R. Thank you for this, as I really think Bloober needs more people supporting them in a fair and objective way. Too many people want this game to fail no matter what which is tragic and sad. I agree with the CEO, in that if we get to see the game in normal gameplay in proper context, people will see its more like the original (with a modern update) than the combat trailer gives off. The old SH2 trailer ironically also highlighted non-stop combat mixed with CG cut scenes, so I think people are being a bit unfair and making huge assumptions here. I think the biggest issue in the combat trailer was the reduced frame rate, which I have a feeling the actual game (today) looks much better than the combat trailer shows. That trailer was on PS5, so it may be locked to 30fps. I have a good PC so I'm lucky in that I'll have a good frame rate with the game regardless. Both The Medium and LOF 2023 look amazing on my PC in 4K at 120+ fps with ray tracing.
I appreciate it! I hope this game does well and I think a lot of the buzz this game is getting is in part due to fans overreacting and due to the drama with Konami. I hope more players will be able to get into Silent Hill with this remake, and I have to say that so far, this game looks great.
I rented Silent Hill for PS1 on a whim from blockbuster when it hit the shelves in 99. I sat alone in my room, and when those first sirens started, felt fear, excitement, and anxiety as I said to myself: "This is gonna be good..."
Similar situations for SH2, 3, and 4 to an extent.
Some of my favorite games over the last decade are Layers of fear 1 and 2, and the mostly forgotten (but amazing) Observer.
After seeing the remake trailers.. I'm not sure what everyone is worried about.. it looks great, and let's be fair, the combat needed a bit of an overhaul. Bloober creates games that get to you almost entirely on sustained atmosphere (SH's bread and butter), so I have little doubt the updated combat will just be a bit of icing on the cake. We'll just have to wait though. 🥂
Well said! I agree that the combat is really the one thing about the original that I wanted to see get overhauled, and for the most part, it looks great! Really curious to see how it all ends up
Personally as long as it has the art style, themes, story, to give it what made silent hill silent hill I think it'll be an amazing game they can add to it and change things that's fine as long as those four things are there though I think the combat is cool giving it some suspense and action some spice so to say it'll be a interesting experience to say the least. I have high hopes for it and plus we finally got something silent hill related that looks promising just pray konomi doesn't fuck it up.
The story is the most important thing that needs to be kept in tact. They need to make it one to one, that story is timeless. I hope they don’t change it to appease the people who are triggered by mean words.
Couldn't agree more! 💯
@@UnclePhil1112 I think as long as they don't take out the themes of the story that's pretty important as well and don't hold back on what this game is about and show it all not be afraid of showing twisted things
I think they should’ve remade the 1st game before taking on the 2nd
The thing is Silent hill 2 was more successful, so it makes sense for Konami to test the waters with part 2. It's the same reason why Capcom started the remakes with RE 2
Lol think again
SH4R should be the beginning, then going backwards, but the saga is saved thanks to Chris Gans, his idea to take the story of James and Mary into the movies, worked to put Konami on their feet once again, with a remake of SH2, as an advertising move.
@@demoh2o they remade re1 first
@@demoh2oRe1 was remade first. Since then fans have been asking for a re2 remake. That's why.
I think I'll enjoy this game no matter what, I know it won't be perfect, but it will be better than nothing, and I think it will be the best Silent Hill we'll get after several years (since Homecoming)
Absolutely. Definitely looks like the best Silent Hill we've seen in a while
I am 63 and I love silent hill & Resident evil games . I am looking forward to all remakes😊
I love both franchises as well and I hope to see more in the future 💯
I really hope they create a fixed camera mod because I think the fixed camera perspective adds a lot of the original essence
Never happening move on and shut up about the damn fixed camera angles still stuck in the past
@@Reggiezombie Have you actually played silent hill 2? I never said for the actual release to be with fixed cameras neither do I expect it to. I talked about a mod for the game. Don’t have to be rude about it
@@Reggiezombieyeah because silent hill homecoming was an amazing fucking incredible piece of garbage
I wait this so much! I hope it is good.
Bloober makes decent games that usually struggle on the handling of mental issues. They also don't have much track record for combat. To be honest, the combat looks pretty good considering Bloober's past combat has been dogcrap.
From indie walking Sims to AA Silent Hill developer is a great look for them. A lot was done well with this game, they just need to polish the enemies a little. Can't wait to play & get an announcement they're doing another Silent Hill, with more experience under their belt.
@@Alien_isolationist i doubt konami will give them rights to make another one after them saying it's konami's fault for the trailer and all the infighting before that. Also all the future silent hill games anncouned that's coming after the remake is not going to be made by bloober, i am pretty sure both of them just wants to get this out and move on.
@@oldmeesty2806 maybe, or maybe they do a decent job & Konomi hires them again based on success...
@@Alien_isolationist 🤞
The fans don’t lower the bar. They’ve seen what happens too many times. The details matter. The marketing, the presentation, the characters, the story, the gameplay, etc. Remake/remaster… do it right! Respect the original.
It's 100% on Konami for doing this moronic hiring, this is like hiring a mcdonalds drivethrough worker to be head chef at some michelin rated restaurant. Absolutely disgusting that they would cheap out on the hiring for their best game ever and especially fucking moronic to do that when you're in the middle of trying to revive the franchise.
I have complete faith in Bloober team. everything we've really had a chance to look at has captured to look and feel of the original SH2 as much as possible in just a couple quick 45 second trailers. I'm sure if we got to watch a 20 minute game session everyone's fears would be erased.
Absolutely 💯
The combat looks fine imo 🤷🏻♂️
Ikr people getting bent out of shape over bs or just nitpicking. My only gripe was the gun shot noises. It sounds too muted or silenced. I wish people are more specific with their criticisms instead of just band Wagoning on "it looks crap." It makes you look unintelligent.
I think one of the problems is that with a previous interview, a Bloober director said something along the lines of that they will be focusing more on action oriented games, including Silent Hill 2. And this planted the wrong idea into people's minds, which now got followed up by Konami releasing a "combat reveal trailer" for Silent Hill 2. But what goes over everyone's head are the kinds of games, Bloober made before Silent Hill 2. Their previous games, even Medium, which had a bigger budget than previous titles, didn't have any combat. So speaking from their perspective, a game where you can pick up a steel pipe and mash enemies or even a gun with limited ammo, IS a more action-focused game. But saying something like "going forward we're concentrating more on action" places the totally wrong idea in people's head. Well and Konami releasing a combat focused trailer absolutely took the cake.
Looking at it from this perspective, it makes total sense, what the director of Bloober studio said there now about the trailer not reflecting the actual game's spirit.
Edit: Putting the misdirected community expectations and mismanagement of that aside, there is actually something I really like about the encounters in the combat reveal trailer. And I think it really builds on the experience we're later going to have when actually playing the game. Almost to a Yoko-taro-like level where they intentionally put stuff in the trailer that makes no sense when you actually play the game yourself and which keeps lingering in your head. Well, maybe not THAT ingeniously...
And that has to do with enemy crowds and how they move. The trailer casually shows probably the biggest amounts of enemies you can have at a time. Like in the empty swimming pool. That is one of the places in Silent Hill 2, where you had to fight three enemies at once, which was incredibly annoying. I think that if you now play the game, where the first of these enemies gets introduced and you barely beat him with your steel pipe, the thought that you already saw in the trailer that you will later encounter groups of them is unnerving.
Another aspect is the nurse vaulting a wall. People find it ridiculous and it reminds them of military action games. But to me it just tells me that you won't be able to easily outpace enemies by locking them in the environment or something like that. To me, this actually makes the enemies scarier. I like it that that was included. And of course, it was made on purpose. It's just very sad that people totally go the wrong idea because of the aforementioned misdirection of expectations.
I honestly thought the trailer was a lot better than id thought. Was worried but honestly with some tweaks to the combat they could do something similar to what capcom did with the re remakes. They should take their time
I honestly can tell about the vibe of the game. This trailer had heavy music rather than the game's soundtrack. It does look spooky to me. I do believe the game will have an interesting thrilling atmosphere. My only two concerns, but not huge game breakers, are the sound design in weapons and the repetitive melee animations (three swings: not too strong, following a strong, and ending with a very strong swing).
what heavy music? thats literally the silent hill 2 soundtrack, its a track called promise.
@@jawadmuni3447 it’s heavy. Is it pop? Is it jazz? Is it soft rock? Nope. Ok, it’s not death metal but still. And my mistake, by game soundtrack I meant in game music score. That game’s song won’t be the score while you’re exploring the buildings and the street.
And I meant it on the actual combat trailer
@@coatza86 you said it was heavy music isntead of the game's soundtrack, but the song that plays in the background is the game's soudntrack, and this heavy music was always in the silent hill 2 trailers and promotional work, so they're just being faithful to the original trailers.
Shadow of the Colossus was not "remade." It was heavily remastered but was indeed the original game running. Bluepoint lied about remaking it, then claimed that calling it a remake was justified to them because they updated the visual assets within the game. However, this is blatantly false logic. Just because you update the visual assets in an existing game, does not mean you recreated the game. All original code is operating the updated Shadow of the Colossus that released on PS4. In fact, Bluepoint faced massive backlash from within the industry and were even threatened with a class action lawsuit for misinforming the consumers. This also happened when they falsely claimed their updated version of Demon's Souls was a "remake." However, Demon's Souls was remastered in the same way they remastered Shadow of the Colossus. Updated visual assets and a few other bells and whistles like minor tweaks to gameplay mechanics.
If you give a car a new paint job and make it handel a little better, it's still the same car.
is there any actual proof of this
if not, stop lying
@@soysaucesquared906 It's true that both the Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls remakes were asset flipped, but I haven't been able to find anything about backlash or a lawsuit. Asset flips do qualify as a remaster and not a remake, because the game's programming foundation isn't recreated, simply altered to accommodate a few changes.
Silent Hill 2 was re-relased for PS3 along with SH3 as the HD-Collection. That's part of why people are dead set this better not be a screw-up. The HD Collection versions of those games were a blatant rip-off money-grab by Konami.
I'm just waiting for the game to release and see how it will play.
I absolutely loved this game and I hope like hell I’m wrong but I gotta bad feeling it ain’t gonna live up to the original
I wouldn't mind a remaster like the recent Tombraider collection. Just overlay updated graphics. The camera angles are a big part of the atmosphere.
When watching the gameplay footage of the combat scene, it's very hard to believe that this game is based on UE5 technology. It looks, at times, quite similar to the best PS3 games back in the time. I hope that the showcased combat footage was indeed from a very early stage of the game, as claimed. But why? Did Konami really interfere with the marketing to this extent, forcing Bloober to release only early build material?
Can't wait for this to drop! Loved the RE remakes (esp. #2), so hoping this will likewise give the original Silent Hill 2, it's due honor. 🎮
Agreed. I hope the success of this game paves the way for more people to experience the series
as a fan of SH and RE, i just hope Konami will treat this remake just like what the other devs did with Re4R. both games are legendary and it would be a downer if this upcoming remake doesn’t on par with the OG.
Absolutely 💯
long time dedicated silent hill fan. Im excited for the remake. combat looks fine. its still in development, things can change but im not bothered with its current state
@@RandoLePerson to each their own 🤷♂️🤌
This remake won't be revolutionary personally but if it's at least a 7/10. I can put my faith in Bloober team for the meantime.
I love action horror games if done correctly, as long as the over all tone and atmosphere is still tense and depressive like the original and keeps the same “mature themes” without neutering it to satisfy a modern audience I think this game will flourish. Re2 remake was a massive success because it kept the core spirit of the game while making the game really fun to play. Silent hill 2 is certainly an amazing game and very replay able but we can all agree that it definitely not fun in the combat department I mean the boss fights are a joke especially pyramid head you just run back and forth for a few minutes. Silent hill 2 is masterclass when it comes to atmosphere and sound design if they nail that then it will be great for example the wood side apartments is the most tense level I’ve ever played with dark corridors, emotional encounters, puzzles and excellent music.
Silent Hill isn't action horror!! And you should play the original SH2 on hard mode 😉
I play these games and enjoy them. I can’t stand people who give negative reviews to a game that hasn’t came out yet. Those people are the reasons why we never got silent hills
For real... I was really looking forward to Silent Hills. Still have PT on my PS4 to this day
Well unless the critics are extremely bad i will probably try it out cause i find it pretty sad that such a pillar of video game horror has been dead for so long.
But i certainly won't pick it up at launch
I have the emulated PS2 version of SH2 on my computer right now. I am 100% looking forward to the remake. The original is awesome, but the combat is not as great as a lot of people remember it being.
Completely agree. That's really my only complaint about the original game
I have never played any of the silent hill games and I am stoked!!
I feel bad for you. The experience is UNIQUE!
The atmosphere and story are the most important parts of a Silent Hill game. Even though apparently the combat animations have been drastically improved since this is a year old trailer according to Bloober, I actually think having it look a bit janky would help with that uncanny atmosphere. Having it look slightly off, would only add to that “something is not quite right” feeling that the original game has. Why does everybody want hyper realistic combat?
I thought it was so funny that people got so uptight about this trailer saying that they’ve changed the game with too much combat. It’s literally called a ‘combat trailer’, they’re focusing on the combat mainly, not the story or the atmosphere etc. so I’m still holding out hope that the game will be great, some hints of the atmosphere that we get looks brilliant.
I would love to see a trailer showing the more quiet and suspenseful and eerie parts of the game. I wouldn’t even care if it was just a walking around and puzzle solving trailer, at least that would give an idea of the overall atmosphere.
If this game gets cancelled I'll hide an umbilical cord in a box in my room. It'll smell terrible.
That's a nice picture to hang on a wall btw very detailed.
Sure, bc you can have human flesh without freezing, or at least formaldehyde. Also seems like Frank Sunderland was a soldier, that means James and Alex were close in situations that require to handle weapons.
“It’s bread.”
As someone who wasn't a fan of SH 2 or 3 (I loved SH 1 but later SH just didn't click for me), I feel like I'm in the best position, they can be loyal to the original and I'll enjoy it, they can change it and I'll enjoy it as long as its good.
It is just the facial expression of James from the starts bothers me, like He's wondering if his dead wife 3 years ago is still in this place called silent hill. Then the remake, the face is like he's guilty or something. Anyway I like the remake, and hope to play it soon.
He is guilty tho
I get people like the eeriness of the og silent hill 2, and while I don’t feel like that’s going to be lost here, since the game is obviously going to be realistic compared to the original, it make sense for James to have a more appropriate expression.
James: killed his wife, is so guilty it created an entity in the form of “Pyramid Head”, and suddenly gets a letter from his wife knowing that she is dead? James should look distressed and emotional lmao, not just blankly confused
i think a lot will be lost in the remake, and that's inevitable, but what will be lost can be added as well, i think the fans need to be open-mind for what's to come, it might not even be bad, i love the game, and i think it can be translated to modern gaming in a very good way.
Well said 💯
we will wait and experience the game when it is release. but has there been a time when a remake got people got so worry and when it was release. fans expectation was very positive?
I never played the originals so I'm really excited for the remake.
My thoughts of the combat reveal.
Lots of people overreacted, yea the combat wasn't that great but combat is at very minor importance when it comes to SH2.
My biggest complaint about the combat were the button prompts during QTEs because they're immersion breaking. I hope they add a setting to turn off the button prompts.
My biggest worry is how they handle the story telling. The atmosphere of the town, the characters etc... Will they sell out pyramid head aka try to make him on a way that fishes "uWu daddy" reactions from people?
right, i remember in ps1 days when an enemy grabbed me, i just mashed all the buttons and hoped it worked
@@hmnanda yea it created a sense of urgency. Button prompts take that away imo
Honestly I think silent hill fans want to hate just to hate. They will never be satisfied. I do think they could work on things, but it doesn’t look as bad as everyone makes it out to be. The game shouldn’t have such a massive focus on combat gameplay but rather if they get the story right, that’s what matters in the end
Absolutely. I'd take this combat over the original's combat any day. I just hope they get the story right. I'm liking what we've been shown so far
I’m only interested in that P.T. spiritual successor called Silent Hill: The Short Message. Because if Konami delists it for obviously idiotic reasons it’ll make said PS5 with The Short Message worth their weight in gold. Like PS4s that have P.T. on their hard drive.
Insightful. Glad I didn't delete it
@@Alien_isolationist something I regret sleeping on when I had a PS4.
So glad I still have that game installed on my PS4
Main critique of RE2 remake, as I understand, was fact than now you can shot enemies while at hem aiming manually. It's now easy to chose enemy you will shot, and you can focus body parts. This lead to enemies became more resilient to fire. But you can't just left everything like it was and add free aim. In Classic Residents when you shot from piston, there was no such thing as headshot, every shot was headshot, and some guns, depending on game had critical chance. Now you can aim at head AND it have critical chance to blow it up, but I guess not if you aim at body. So they reworked everything in such way, so zombie still will be threat, and at lesser count. As I remember original RE2 had few places that contained about 5 zombies at once, or even more, at Police Station. I think even with shotgun it would be problem in RE2 remake.
Silent Hill had very similar fight system, one of differences - there was no critical hits, I think, at least visually. First SH had system that, I think, make you miss shots, if you fire while moving or something like that, and maybe distance mattered too, I'm not sure. I think if they do game with free aim, and since SH didn't allowed to change direction of shoting (up/down like in RE), headshots also gonna matter, and it's mean enemies also became more resilient or more numerous(one of those trailers left feeling that they gonna pour enemies at you, like it some The Suffering) Tho I really hope fighting system will not turn into Homecoming. It wasn't that bad, fighting system I mean, every enemy felt differently, every enemy required different approach, not like that Stray Souls сrар, as example. But it didn't felt like Silent Hill at all.
I think this statement of the president of Bloober shows how the actual developers are very much aware of all the Silent Hill's aspects Konami managed to fuck up in latest installments, and that Bloober has no intention following Konami on that path.
I had a bad feeling the developers were gonna screen this up.
As a fan of the series since i seen the preview of the first one on original Playstation, i know previews do games no real justice and am looking forward to this game
For real. Can't wait to get my hands on this
isn't everyone on this page a fan of the series? this "as a" crap is so annoying.
People be saying that enemy's moved to human like and mmmmmm ya kinda true and like yes they might be humanoid lookin but the way they twitched at times, changed stance or how they suddenly stood there in place without reason isn't human like at all and what gave them that uncanny valley-esc feel to them which is a key aspect of the enemy's in the og like fr fr they suppose to be disturbing and unique unlike your typical zombie. Hopefully they stayed true to this as well.
The Dev team has voiced many times that they really care for the spirit of the game, so I just trust them. if it sucks, there's always the original to go back to anyway.
James is using my pistol! I love the Beretta 92!
I just wanna know when will I be able to play this myth.
Looks pretty good to me 😊
they, konami, just slapped the trailer with early footage to show something alongside release of short message, i think remake is fine, nothing to worry about
For real 💯
I think people are stressing out too much with this game. The combat trailer didn't show anything that wasn't already in the original with the exception of the quick-time event. The "swarm" of lying figures in the swimming pool was even in the original. I personally don't mind the quick-time event as it draws emphasis on how dangerous the enemies can be, they are after all representative of James' chronic stress and guilt, both of which can be very harmful to the human body.
There could never have been a 1:1 remake, people need to think about how there are no longer loading screens between rooms, which would be frustrating to deal with without the means to stop enemies from chasing you from room to room. In the original, you could run past enemies and retreat to another room, where the enemies effectively cease to exist until you left that room. Additionally, if there wasn't effective means to defeat the enemies you would have to wander around in complete darkness to avoid enemy detection and if the game remains true to the original, you cannot even look at the map in a dark area without the flashlight on. The only way to keep combat encounters from feeling 'too action oriented' is to purposefully make the combat frustrating and ineffective, or remove the enemies entirely. All three decisions would result in negative reception among hardcore SH2 fans.
The biggest fans of the original are probably not going to like the remake because it is sacred to them in one way or another, and it is of course a great game, but there is objectively no way to handle a modernized remake of SH2 other than this as far as I can see. The original animations were very clunky, the hit detection was odd at times and James isn't very reactive to anything outside of cutscenes. In order to modernize a game like this, you have to essentially disrupt the entire aesthetic of the original and rebuild it based off of the look and tone of the game alone. Doing so is no small task and will most certainly result in some mixed feelings among hardcore SH2 fanatics.
Long comment, I know but I think that the real Silent Hill fans should critically think about how a game like SH2 would be depicted if it were released for the first time in 2024, with no prior release in 2001. I think they will find that it would look a lot like what we have seen in the trailers, just handled more carefully in terms of presentation.
my first thought is why aren't they remaking the first one . Yeah 2 is good but I would like the original first then seconds .
Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. I think they are doing this because Silent Hill 2 was such a huge game for Konami back in the day and has achieved this "legendary" status over the years. If this remake is successful, I'm sure we'll see a Silent Hill 3 remake before the first one gets considered
I honestly feel like the game is done. I think that Konami is somehow trying to develop some sort of micro transaction within the game for example, were probably gonna have to pay for Maria's stand alone installment "Born from a Wish" or some pay to win bullshit like sell the extra endings [UFO, Dog, etc]. But i hope im wrong
They need to get rid of the quick time events. Please. For Polands sake.
I've been disappointed enough times to not be fazed when a company messes up or when "fans" ruin the experience as soon as it comes out.
idk im not too worried, if its shit on drop I know modders will most certainly handle it
Hey if it happens that they lose a lot of money and end up selling the Silent Hill license would love capcom to buy it and own the series. I mean resident evil so they could do pretty well with a silent hill game. But that might not happen so will see when the game releases.
I would prefer Bloober grow & learn. They nailed the cutscenes, they nailed the atmosphere. The environment looks great & nothing wrong with the protagonist. They just need to polish the enemies a tad & maybe melee but im ready to sh00t some Demons

Hey we all love an underdog story, would be wild if bloober team became known for being behind modern silent hill instead of cheap horror indie games lol
@@Goku-fn3qd bro we see gameplay, I think it looks funner then 90% of what's out already. I need a good horror / sh00ter on my PS5 it's dry af lately. Silent Hill is 1 of the better horror franchises too, only rivaled by Capcom. I think it looks great.
@@Alien_isolationist imma keep it straight I don’t think it looks “great” but I will be here till the end of
Plus, the marketing is absolutely horrendous and as bloober team said doesn’t match the tone of the game
@@Goku-fn3qd again, they nailed the atmosphere, & the cutscenes look fantastic in UE5. I think you're expecting a AAA developer here & so your expectations are too high. I still think it looks great. Yea, it could use a polish, but even as is it looks like a solid 70, & with another 6-10 months it could be an 80. But hey Call of Duty & GTA are coming out for you
It does look good n good luck if the remake goes right but if it doesnt then it'll deffo get well critizised but ill stick with the original silent hill games, origin ,2 , 3 n 4
I just looked at Amazon at it shows that the release date will be on December 31st 2025 ?????
Can anyone else confirm ???
Loved the original silent hill 2, fingers crossed that the remake will be just as good
Same! Such an iconic game. Really hope the remake is a solid game
Konami needed to do this game in house. Western developers should have never had their hands in Silent Hill. Seeing a QTE in this alone tells me that they have no idea how to handle any subtlety or nuance needed for this game. Also, in two trailers they've shown everything. There's no mystery to any of this at all. Why would they already blow their load showing Pyramid Head in the trailer? I mean, go back and watch the Silent Hill 4 trailer from back in the day. Now THAT is how to do a horror game teaser.
Remember the story of Team Silent, the game was popular in Japan only SH1, by the director of the guy that later when to Sony and made Siren. The others game weren't popular at Japan, therefore Konami felt that the game was more pópular in western, now you have a good point, japanese mindset at work is very different than western mindset, and this is when the drama started.
You say Konami should’ve made this game in house but then you criticize the trailer… which was made by Konami…
Bloober has no control over what is shown or how it is presented in trailers.
@@Sanjipika Yeah, Konami made a bad trailer, but western developers have crapped on the series since 2004.
I just played through sh2 for the first time over this past week. I’m fairly excited for the remake, a lot of the jank was not endearing to me, so I’m looking forward to seeing the game with a modern take.
Nothing in the combat trailer makes me think that combat is over emphasized. You are definitely swarmed in sh2 and have to fight off several enemies at once in tight spaces. No, it’s not every room or around every corner, but it happens. The trailer doesn’t show anything that would make me think that is changing for better or worse. I think gamers often love to complain together to be a part of something, but it’s usually way overblown if you’re not a basement dwelling super fan. Just look at how being a Star Wars fans requires you to disavow any other star wars outside the boring ass original trilogy.
They nailed the atmosphere, & since we didnt get a PS4 version, it looks better then any SH to date. The cutscenes are near photo realistic & it looks like its fun to sh00t with midiocre melee, which im fine with. Enemies need a little polishing. Looking forward to this for 50 bucks
Agreed. I'm really liking the attention to detail from what has been shown so far. Looking forward to getting my hands on this someday
@@funmylife9248 the environment is detailed & that's what a lot of people missed. Gritty, grimey, portal to Hell
Nah looks like diet silent hill 2, the OG rooms were more depressing with rust and grimeyness. This version is too clean 🧼
@@lastlvl that's not the sentiment I'm seeing from fans. The 2 movies nailed the same atmosphere. It's supposed to look "too clean", before the environment switches over to Hell.....
My only issue is James movement seems a bit stiff.
I’m going to be optimistic on the remake. They’re releasing too much under tough scrutiny from us to warrant a massive screw up. I’m not going to miss Silent Hill 2 remake. With how other remakes have done over the past few years I’m convinced it’s going to be good game, but you can’t please everyone. I think I’ll love it
As long as the story of the original sh2 is intact and combat is not every stage of the game I think this release will be as big as Alan Wake 2 or bigger.
Bloober will receive atleast for your consideration awards just for achieving it if the release is profitable and well accepted
I even thought one of the trailers was great.
I'm not really worried so much about the combat. I'm much more worried about the story and cutscenes or overall feel of the atmosphere. I mean, it is a TRAUMAtic story after all. And we all know how much they love telling us about TRAUMA with these new Silent Hill games.
Even if this game is 11/10 good, which I actually really hope it is, people would still be total dicks about it, I think the game looks really good and I’m willing to give it a chance definitely
Chill out and relax. The game will be fine I think
As fan from the start i have developed some weird shell where i am just never surprised if each next entry is pure shit and i don't have high hopes for this either, it's just Konami cashing in on Capcom's remake of RE2
i was not impressed with the combat trailer, nor was i offended or worried. The only thing i would change is the giant X in the middle of screen. SH2 isn't played for combat, its combat has really always been horrible, which also added another level of horror in a way. Trying to land melee hits at crazy camera angles is intense lol. SH2 was smart for going over the shoulder like RE did and really i expected no less, i was originally hoping it would be made in the RE engine but that was a reach. Konami is a joke, everybody knows. I do have faith in blooper from everything ive seen. I think there's some real fans working on it for sure n it makes me happy to see.
Super well said. Couldn't have said it better 💯
Personally I think the “combat trailer” was more to show off the creature designs and a few other aspects of the game
I don’t think that the combat trailer was supposed to be to show off the combat
Looks fun to me
You can't do much without ammo, people who saw the trailer will get a big surprise of the town in that aspect. Even on Homecoming that's a SH factor, you can't get too much bullets.
@@LosMSR that's up to Bloober to decide but it's good to know
They definitely nailed the creature designs and I like the shift in perspective regarding the combat
@@funmylife9248 honestly I do too
I need to see the final product. I saw a 7 sec clip of a superior polished game and a nurse animation being much better. I will give my final judgment based on the last trailer.
Really underestimating Konami here folks. The man is a genius. Said it yourself he is in charge of marketing! Released these clips intentionally to get everyone talking about silent Hill 2. Negative talk is more populate than good. Bang game markets itself, as I'm seeing it all over my socials ❤
I felt like what was shown was probably sent ages ago and Konami suits put it together to generate hype, I'd be pretty pissed too cause not enough people contain their hate to those who deserve it
Mash X to smother with pillow
😂🔥
this is the dark souls of horror games
If it's a reimagining,, like RE2, it'll be EPIC!!! I've played them all, and don't want just new graphics
When I saw the trailer I thought a new resident evil game was coming
I still love remake no matter how bad it is...
In my opinion, if they include in the main menu the option of just playing the original, it will justify the price of the game.
just have them do a mod over Resident Evil 4 Remake, change the scenarios, monsters and just the clothes of the characters... (fortunately, James has the same haircut as Leon) it will be perfect :)
Konami, please let Bloober Team cook let em cook. I feel so bad for Bloober Team.
septic about UE engine that gives typical plasticine visual feel and look (out of the box). It's like that 100% materialized dimension wich you cant really escape from (no matter how hard youre trying), unlike like ghosts wich are in cross multi effect
The whole thing is way blown out of proportion considering it was literally "Combat Reveal Trailer". As such it should be focused on combat, does not mean that it's the whole focus of the game.
And someone should remind all the toxic "fans" that the original could be considered an "action game" if you want to achieve a perfect rank for which one of the requirements was to kill a minimum of 150 enemies in a relatively short game.
There is some minor things that will hopefully be sorted out by release date, mainly the weapon sound and the damage effects on enemies, but other than that, I would say there is nothing wrong with what we've seen so far.
💯
Konami be like:
Don't talk back, you're not Kojima! 😂
I see no lies.
survival horror games should not be able to be cleared like a combat zone. the creatures should have respawn points.
Hopefully, it does well enough that Konami has a coming to Jesus moment and brings Kojima back to finally give us "Silent Hills."
Konami being controversal to keep us interested perhaps?
If this is part of their strategy, it's working 😂
