Actress did an incredible job blending emotion, stiltedness, and natural speaking. That's no easy feat. The facial animations and cinematic direction were exceptional as well. I think the only scene I feel more strongly about over the remake is the staircase scene for two simple reasons and they have to do with camera direction. The slow profile pan up the stairs with James hanging his head in shame and the shot of Angela speaking directly into the camera like she's talking to the player. As for the performance in that scene, it seems like they took a different direction. Instead of her sort of berating/being manic, she's less aggressive but still accusatory. I think this may be in part due to the way they wanted to represent someone who has been abused (less like a manic charicature). Purely speculation though. All in all, loved it.
Original VA was better overall. The Remake VA delivery on her lines was wooden at times, especially the cemetery introduction. She got better in the knife and the abstract daddy scene but fell flat on Angela's final scene.
I agree about the hanging his head in shame part, it should have been there. It was very communicative in a non-verbal way. Shame. The rest is on point I guess
The original Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece obviously, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. But, I love BT's take on Angela. She looks like a ninteen-year-old, but one who's been through hell. The way she talks, the way she carries herself, her disassociating, it all matches so much with people who harbor trauma like hers and go through life without processing it properly. Well done, BT!
Completely agree with you, i have an undying respect to the Original Silent Hill; but the take on Laura's character is quite good. Specially the Staircase scene.- Just my opinion tho.-
I really like 9:22, something they never touched in the original. James asks Angela if she's seen Laura, and since the player obviously knows it's innocuous, Angela being in Silent Hill buried in so much trauma thinks that he's a predator. It answer questions while still staying true to the original.
Dude! She doesn't think that he's a predator, it triggers angela when he said little girl as she is still a little girl when she was abused. She must've remembered when she wqas always being told "my little girl"
You know what? As a man, i think that maybe angela WAS right. Like seriously, heres a character who has been s*xually abused for all her life and yet all yall can think of is why shes not hot enough???
It was so fucked up. People calling the game Woke because they cannot see Angela as sexy enough to be assaulted. These people are just fucked in the head.
Always haunting when she states "for me it's always like this." The glimpse into her painfully intense and unsafe world is enough to give me goosebumps.
Honestly I like this version of her. I understand people not liking the VO work, but the whole "she's ugly" and "why isn't she attractive anymore" arguements gives me major goosebumps when its this character in question.
She actually looks her age too - in the original I thought she was well in her 30's, maybe 40 even. She looks 'right' for a teenage girl (she's like 19) who's lived through absolute hell.
@@juuchanIRLI don't particularly think so. I think the improved graphics give the illusion that she looks older, but in the original, she's clearly designed as a more mature woman. In here, she looks more realistic, but shes clearly designed as a younger person.
I think she is still pretty and has always been, while the facial animations could be better her actress did a phenomenal job! I teared up in a couple parts. Love the new scenes, actually made me contemplate buying the game 🧍♀️
Im surprised by how much i like the voice acting. It's still very stilted, but feels a little more natural way for someone who has semi functionally adapted to sever psychological stress. The only thing I'm less keen on is the staircase scene. I really quite liked the mood swings, mocking, amd bitterness of the original delivery. I do still just want to give her a big hug (that preferably wouldn't traumatise her) and tell her it'll be okay
9:25 i dunno if it checks out, but as soon as James says "little girl" and it triggers Angela to see her father besides him I swear i can hear burning sounds in the background.
@@Gan3eL sure, but he can leave with Maria, which it is implied will end in disaster. So you could have it as an ending even if it isn't going to work out.
I’m afraid there’s no fixing what’s wrong with Angela. The pain is just rooted too deep. She will never fully trust another man in her life ever again.
She really sounds, looks and acts like a teenager now. A major improvement from the original. She looked and sounded like a 30-40 year old woman in the original
Angela's older, worn-out appearance in the original was intentional. It was supposed to show the toll her life had taken on her inside and out. I don't mind a more youthful looking Angela, as imho as it makes her seem almost too childlike. To the point where you can tell something is wrong with her at a glance. Since it's common for abuse victims to stay mentally 'stuck' at the age their abuse started, or regress to it under severe stress, it still fits with her trauma narrative. Like the rest of the remake it's different, but still great.

@sillylittlesheepjax6009 making her seem older was an intentional choice in the casting and character design in the original as stated in the SH2 documentary back in 2002. Not that you even played it though 😢
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 omg I agree so much with you XD like I can understand them, they grew up with Silent Hill but the voice acting is 1000x better in the remake. James OG voice is also so bad XDDD
I think this new interpretation of the character is really great. She seems like a very very damaged person. Someone who has a really hard time acting "normal" and engaging in normal conversation. And also very unpredictable, like you can NEVER tell how she will react, really scary. A pretty dann good example of mental illness. In other modern media, mental illness, especially in young women, is often shown as some kind of quirk. Here, it gets shown as what it is, a terrible burden, and, in this Case, a hopeless situation. Pretty bold, actually.
I wholeheartedly agree with this but the only issue I have is with how are they going to handle her as good as it was handled from James’s perspective, how does her hell translate into silent hill and shape the areas around her other than what we already know, and I just worry how her writing will be handled since all the scenes are based off the original with minimal differences,I think all the characters deserve a dlc just like how Maria had born from a wish but creating new material is going to be challenging and I hope if they ever do decide to make them I hope they treat her story with the respect it deserves
The addition of that night time rosewater park scene for Angela was good. Helped keep her in the story a bit more than the original game where she just disappears for half the game.
The original stair scene was better and very emotional. Messed me up when I realized Angela was burning in hell the entire time and she did nothing wrong.
Agreed! Maybe they got abused as-d young lady image on her better with the voice, appearance and acting, but it will never compare with delusional and dissociative form of original, where the voice active might been a bit histrionic but it was what made silent hill a real mind breaking horror.
I wish an extra scene each for Eddie and Angela could be added which would answer whatever loophole was present in their respective stories in original game.
@@DearAnem0ia I dunno, for example Eddie explaining how he did meet Laura or when asked where are her parents, Eddie would not have an answer for that question, giving James an idea she is an orphan or ran away on her own from her family to Silent Hill. I know, a topic I wrote is more about Laura than Eddie.
Now that they've come this far, I feel like the studio should make a short DLC from Angela's perspective. I'd love to see what her version of SH looks like from the moment she meets us in the graveyard
I played the OG for 5x, i know what to expect on each scene. But i legit cried when angela broke down during her line "or you could just force me, like he always did". The change of mood from tension and anger to depression and sadness...it was just too much. Bloober Team, hats off to you.
she is so cute i love her with all of my heart she makes me so sad they made her perfect in every way i'm so incredibly happy with the remake i can't believe how much love it was made with for the story the game and the characters
I came in completely blind to this game. The narrative was completely obtuse for most of this play time, but after finishing it and seeing the scope of its story it's impact has stayed with me for days. The mirror scene (and its score) was mesmerising, and that was the moment I knew this game was really special. After some time to fully realise what I've experienced i'm in awe. Angela's story is the darkest and most impactful I can remember in a long while, and what it means for James' own story is not lost on me. It's too much for her to go on, and James not having the commitment to really give her what she needs to save her is so realistic that it hurts. This game addresses psychological demons in ways that no other game has ever come close to
I recently rediscovered this Character after actually semi dating someone who reminded me of her so much that i got goosebumps from watching these clips I don t know why but a lot of people have been complaining about her new design because they think she looks more fat or something like that The weird thing is that she actually resembles the girl i dated a lot more now and yes she was also sexually abused in her past... Even her voice sounds a lot more like the woman i knew Wow
La escena de las escaleras es incluso mas devastadora en este Remake. La forma en que James y Angela comprenden el infierno del otro es algo que no estaba en el juego original Antes te podias quedar viendola subir las escaleras hasta que desaparecia entre las flamas. Ahora James simplemente se va y cierra la puerta, aceptando el destino de Angela y el suyo propio.
James Sunderland being soft with Angela and physically blocks her from leaving on multiple occasions, yet is uncomfortable with Maria being forward with him. 🤔
Basically, James was acting as an impromptu dad with Angela. With Maria, it shows that James is, in fact, still in love with Mary (despite the fact that he killed her out of being tired of watching his sick wife).
Remember all the fuss over her first appearance? Yeah, where's that now? Mfs got unreasonably mad over a bunch of frames and where are they now? This "anti woke gamers" trend is a plague upon the earth
I've seen many corn (if you know you know what corn should be) rotten brains "fixing" her. Meaning they give her spine breaking breasts, removing her clothes and giving her skimpy ones and all the other thing a cornstar has. Like what a way to disrespect a caracter like this, she has suffered enough. The anti-woke group is a complete joke for saying their "fixed" Angela is the Angela they deserve.
to be honest, with all the new ac and dustborn, i can understand "anti woke" gamers, but this time i disagree with them, this angela is really good, not perfect but very good
I'd rather blame Konami and their poor marketing for that, honestly. The first time they showed Angela, she appeared as cute childish pumpkin that's well fed and loved by her grandma, instead of what her character really is. I can easily see how that caused the whole controversy around her among the fans of the OG game. While Bloober Team were delivering solid product, Konami completely botched its presentation
The fact that she sounds and looks younger makes it more distressing somehow. She seems more naive, but somehow, aware. The og gave a more messed up vibe but this gives me a more realistic approach vibe… which FOR ME, is more distressing.
Played and finished this game for the first time ever yesterday, all the characters are great, but Angela was my favorite, her character and performance just encapsulated everything about the horror and atmosphere that this game tries to present (for me at least). Uncanny, unnatural, erratic, but also incredibly real and human all at once
I grew up to like the remake a bit differently than the original. I got a new insight I never thought before until the remake came out. I feel Angela’s acting just ok, sometimes the VA goes from great to a little too much sometimes. This Silent Hill feels more like Mary’s Silent Hill rather than James. It feels like more of Mary’s guilt influences the events of Silent Hill rather than James. This silent hill happened because of Mary and not really James. Really makes this a whole new experience. Also MAAAAN I LOVE how much more I hate Eddie in this.
This entire comment section is a goldmine of whiny manchilds crying on both sides of the spectrum lmao, if you enjoy the original that’s fine and if you enjoy the remake that is perfectly fine, why do you have to drag down the other and throw a fit like an actual child?
0:240:43 ah! I see! That's explained a lot. Yeah. She already knew this town curse.. she wasnt like James or Eddie which come to pay for their retribution
I don't get how some people claim she's ugly... like, in the original model she looked much older than she's supposed to be. Here she looks young, her cheeks are more puffed like that of a baby or a cherub. She looks delicate, but her chainsmoker voice contrasts the look heavily. I understand potential complaints about the VA... but the model? It's perfect.
I think it looks better in-game than what we saw in trailers. But still she looks like she got stung by a bee. I am sure there will be a mod on PC to make Angela true to her original self.
@@shayanali8771She looks fine. Some of you are so fucking ridiculous, the girl literally has self image issues and you're objectifying her in real life.
I’m actually in favor of the original, while a bit flat which is fine for her the detachment and developmental social issues come through better in the original VA. Here she sounds a bit too normal which is alright but I liked that detail in the original.
The way angela says "I can finally rest now" That line alone just seems odd, as well as why she was looking for her mother in a graveyard of all places when we first meet her.. Why would anyone search for someone presumably alive in a graveyard's tombstone..
@@aswangmonkey361 Sure both are looking for people, but isn't extremely odd that her search would start at the final resting place for all. What's more telling that line she spoke at the end. It's like she was never alive to begin with, despite the empty graves we saw in the prison
I personally don't agree with the idea that they made her 'uglier" or more importantly that they wrote her better in the original. It's more like they took a different approach with the same idea, which is expected given it's a remake. A mere different artistic vision. As for her appearance, it's just... different. Not particularly better or worse imo. What the original DID do better was the Leave ending. Now that was way more emotionally impactful there than in the remake Tl;dr They handled Angela just fine, just took a different directional approach.
My theory is that the original model is what she should have looked like if she hadn't been, you know.... But in reality, this is how she looks like. Hey, its Silent Hill: anything goes.
I was really hoping to like the new voice acting, but I don’t, especially in her final scene. It doesn’t fit. They even altered significantly important pieces of dialogue and delivery. I admire the effort but it doesn’t even come close to the emotional impact of the original, or the emotional distress of a mentally ill person. It’s too devoid of emotion. It’s lifeless, stable and bland. I wish the team understood what needed to come through the most, but they didn’t, and that’s ok if this works for you, but it’s just not Angela. Not anymore.
I'm gonna have a super unpopular opinion. I can't get used to her character change appearance wise. I'm sorry it's throwing me off. It's not bad. It's just throwing me off
Why did they change Abstract Daddy’s design? The original was perfect this one feels like they were going for shock value rather than allowing the player understand what it was they are fighting.
? the boss looks exactly the same, the mechanics were just altered but the fight ends in the same room anyway, it's better if anything because it builds on the idea we get to grasp of angela's silent hill and the machinery and fire motifs within it????
Because maybe they weren’t available to hire, or maybe they wanted to hire other actors for a remake. She sounds way better in this one than the original
No disrespect to the VA, but it really feels like its being phoned in. Half the time it feels likes its being read off the script for the first time while recording.
She is an abuse victim. I've talked with and listened to how abuse victims carry themselves. The way you see Angela speak in the game is similar to how these people speak in real life. They are slow to talk, sometimes child like in their choice of words. There are instances where they cannot control their emotions and lash out. They also get confused easily. It's hard to understand or know whats going on in their head, but im sure the guilt, self-hatred, and disgust for themselves makes it difficult for them to seem "normal".
WTH? I resonated the hell with her tone and lemme tell you from what I saw there, I could predict what she's going to say. It's totally true to life and I'm saying it based off of what I've been thru in life.
This new angela'svoice acting is interesting. She's speaking like something in her mouth. Plus being lousy cheap soap drama queen is not really impressive at all.
1:41 I love how her voice tone shifts from “my mama, I mean my mother” love Angela, such a tragic character
*his voice
@@MONO-97 yeah you can feel she was forced to grow up way to fast
Actress did an incredible job blending emotion, stiltedness, and natural speaking. That's no easy feat. The facial animations and cinematic direction were exceptional as well. I think the only scene I feel more strongly about over the remake is the staircase scene for two simple reasons and they have to do with camera direction. The slow profile pan up the stairs with James hanging his head in shame and the shot of Angela speaking directly into the camera like she's talking to the player.
As for the performance in that scene, it seems like they took a different direction. Instead of her sort of berating/being manic, she's less aggressive but still accusatory. I think this may be in part due to the way they wanted to represent someone who has been abused (less like a manic charicature). Purely speculation though. All in all, loved it.
Original VA was better overall. The Remake VA delivery on her lines was wooden at times, especially the cemetery introduction. She got better in the knife and the abstract daddy scene but fell flat on Angela's final scene.
I agree about the hanging his head in shame part, it should have been there. It was very communicative in a non-verbal way. Shame. The rest is on point I guess
“I’m sorry Angela. I think you were right… what we’re looking is not her. Not anymore…”
Fucking hell I love that new line from James.
The original Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece obviously, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. But, I love BT's take on Angela. She looks like a ninteen-year-old, but one who's been through hell. The way she talks, the way she carries herself, her disassociating, it all matches so much with people who harbor trauma like hers and go through life without processing it properly. Well done, BT!

Remember all the fuss over her first appearance? Yeah, where's that now? Mfs got unreasonably mad over a bunch of frames and where are they now? This "anti woke gamers" trend is a plague upon the earth
I've seen many corn (if you know you know what corn should be) rotten brains "fixing" her.
Meaning they give her spine breaking breasts, removing her clothes and giving her skimpy ones and all the other thing a cornstar has.
Like what a way to disrespect a caracter like this, she has suffered enough. The anti-woke group is a complete joke for saying their "fixed" Angela is the Angela they deserve.
to be honest, with all the new ac and dustborn, i can understand "anti woke" gamers, but this time i disagree with them, this angela is really good, not perfect but very good
@@buryingbrightness ive seen so many 🌽 rotbrains having "fixed" her like come on, the anti-woke crowd is just a joke this point now
I'd rather blame Konami and their poor marketing for that, honestly.
The first time they showed Angela, she appeared as cute childish pumpkin that's well fed and loved by her grandma, instead of what her character really is. I can easily see how that caused the whole controversy around her among the fans of the OG game.
While Bloober Team were delivering solid product, Konami completely botched its presentation
Woke is a plague to gaming
Angela actually looks and sounds her age now but still with aging stress. Love it
She is so cute. But I feel a little guilty to thinking that she is cute due to what happened to her.
The fact that she sounds and looks younger makes it more distressing somehow. She seems more naive, but somehow, aware. The og gave a more messed up vibe but this gives me a more realistic approach vibe… which FOR ME, is more distressing.
Played and finished this game for the first time ever yesterday, all the characters are great, but Angela was my favorite, her character and performance just encapsulated everything about the horror and atmosphere that this game tries to present (for me at least). Uncanny, unnatural, erratic, but also incredibly real and human all at once
I wish the music in the game was louder. A big part of the game was the soundtrack. The dialogue was a compliment to the music I feel.
well its at like 50% here
I mean you can change your settings 😂
@@Edge9404 yeah but is it still gonna be as overpowering as it was in the original
@@aegontargaryensixthofhisname I fucking hate silent hill fans.
@@aegontargaryensixthofhisnameWell if it was at 50% probably
I grew up to like the remake a bit differently than the original. I got a new insight I never thought before until the remake came out.
I feel Angela’s acting just ok, sometimes the VA goes from great to a little too much sometimes.
This Silent Hill feels more like Mary’s Silent Hill rather than James. It feels like more of Mary’s guilt influences the events of Silent Hill rather than James.
This silent hill happened because of Mary and not really James. Really makes this a whole new experience.
Also
MAAAAN I LOVE how much more I hate Eddie in this.
Ohh I like that interpretation
This entire comment section is a goldmine of whiny manchilds crying on both sides of the spectrum lmao, if you enjoy the original that’s fine and if you enjoy the remake that is perfectly fine, why do you have to drag down the other and throw a fit like an actual child?
0:24 0:43 ah! I see!
That's explained a lot.
Yeah. She already knew this town curse.. she wasnt like James or Eddie which come to pay for their retribution
I expect an Angela DLC, i imagine Angela finding her mom as a boss merged with her father and brother, to finally dying together in the flames.
They made her beautyfull
Compared to the original teasers we saw she's not as fat but you can tell they still wanted to keep some flab on her.
@@berniekatzroy if you take any more fat off her she'd be dangerously anorexic
@@AFGuidesHD I'm mainly talking bout her face not her body
*adipose
@@berniekatzroythat's because she's medium ugli character with skinny fat body in the remake.
Its kinda funnily twisted how people were complaining that the sex abused traumatised victim doesnt look sexy in the remake 😵💫😅
I don't get how some people claim she's ugly... like, in the original model she looked much older than she's supposed to be. Here she looks young, her cheeks are more puffed like that of a baby or a cherub. She looks delicate, but her chainsmoker voice contrasts the look heavily. I understand potential complaints about the VA... but the model? It's perfect.
She is faht as shihh, lookin like Farquad ate a bowl of bees.
where's the Angela family photo on the ground when James found her in room 109?
It's on the abstract daddy boss fight
This character model looks fine.
But I will always laugh at the David Duchovny edit
I think it looks better in-game than what we saw in trailers. But still she looks like she got stung by a bee. I am sure there will be a mod on PC to make Angela true to her original self.
@@shayanali8771 you mean 1 early version trailer that they should not even show to the public
@@shayanali8771She looks fine. Some of you are so fucking ridiculous, the girl literally has self image issues and you're objectifying her in real life.
I really hope we get a dlc where we can play as her forever my favorite Silejt Hill character
I'm actually suprise how she keep on surviving in the dark with all the monsters around...
That’s not what she faces
her world look different than what we see playing James
But she was attack by her manifestation abusive father meaning she's also inside the dark version of silent hill town...
@@AllanSlovishcock32yes, but her version of Abstract Daddy is completely different to what James sees
I’m actually in favor of the original, while a bit flat which is fine for her the detachment and developmental social issues come through better in the original VA. Here she sounds a bit too normal which is alright but I liked that detail in the original.
16:53 I hope this is in the soundtrack I love how it sounds
The way angela says "I can finally rest now"
That line alone just seems odd, as well as why she was looking for her mother in a graveyard of all places when we first meet her..
Why would anyone search for someone presumably alive in a graveyard's tombstone..
She’s there for roughly the same reason James is there sooo…
@@aswangmonkey361 Sure both are looking for people, but isn't extremely odd that her search would start at the final resting place for all. What's more telling that line she spoke at the end. It's like she was never alive to begin with, despite the empty graves we saw in the prison
I don't really like her design but great work is still great work, and that's what we are getting right here.
She doesn't look like herself from the original, but she doesn't look ugly either
Well she is an abuse victim, her world-view can be distraught and confused
Hopefully they'll be a dlc where you play as her and can escape silent hill. I personally wish you could've saved her in the main game.
Name of the song al 12:00 pls
I personally don't agree with the idea that they made her 'uglier" or more importantly that they wrote her better in the original. It's more like they took a different approach with the same idea, which is expected given it's a remake. A mere different artistic vision. As for her appearance, it's just... different. Not particularly better or worse imo. What the original DID do better was the Leave ending. Now that was way more emotionally impactful there than in the remake
Tl;dr They handled Angela just fine, just took a different directional approach.
My theory is that the original model is what she should have looked like if she hadn't been, you know....
But in reality, this is how she looks like.
Hey, its Silent Hill: anything goes.
I was really hoping to like the new voice acting, but I don’t, especially in her final scene. It doesn’t fit. They even altered significantly important pieces of dialogue and delivery. I admire the effort but it doesn’t even come close to the emotional impact of the original, or the emotional distress of a mentally ill person. It’s too devoid of emotion. It’s lifeless, stable and bland. I wish the team understood what needed to come through the most, but they didn’t, and that’s ok if this works for you, but it’s just not Angela. Not anymore.
Is that blood on her hand changing to clean between shots at 10:35 or am i just seeing things?
its not blood, try to use your phone's flashlight thru to your finger and it will looks same as it. just nice attention on detail i think
Remake is better
Never.
😂
@@PantherIsaThe remake is a better game. I bet you never even played the originals.
@@SlitWristMisfit_ Not everybody is a baby "gamer" who wants a kindergarten version of the original masterpiece.
@@FernandoGonzalezEscandón cry baby girl cry
Wow, they actually fixed her face.
please somebody tell me the song that plays after you beat abstract daddy
I'm gonna have a super unpopular opinion. I can't get used to her character change appearance wise. I'm sorry it's throwing me off. It's not bad. It's just throwing me off
World Before:🌎🌍🌏
World After:🌎🌍🌏
12:46 music name pleaseeee
She sounds like Abella Danger. I said what I said.
I ain’t complaining
Bro can make full cutscenes like this without subtitle?

@@AFGuidesHD thanks
OMG she does look weird 6:19.
blud never seen a crying traumatized woman
What? She looks normal.
That is so bad, my god. The shills here, the nobility ;)
Not a bot, Stop being Paranoid
But i never understand why angela can just walk in firenand if she dies?
I don't think there's alot of logic to this town tbh.
Not real fire, the flames of torment, Everyone has a different nightmare in silent Hill
The fire is more so her perpetual view of the world-a living hell. For Angela, hell isn’t a place, but her life itself.
I think it's implied she lets the town consume her because she can't overcome her guilt.
Basically: Angela died off-screen
maria pls
Wow... It's incredible what they did to SH2 🙃 anyway... modern audiences 🤷♂️
@@InfiniteNinja428 ok gurl 😂😂😂
@@ZroLod not a bot, Stop being Paranoid
@@ZroLod no wonder you like your own comment.
Why did they change Abstract Daddy’s design? The original was perfect this one feels like they were going for shock value rather than allowing the player understand what it was they are fighting.
The design is identical wtf are you talking about
It's literally the same design dingus.
? the boss looks exactly the same, the mechanics were just altered but the fight ends in the same room anyway, it's better if anything because it builds on the idea we get to grasp of angela's silent hill and the machinery and fire motifs within it????
Why cant they keep the same voices and stuff from original?
Because maybe they weren’t available to hire, or maybe they wanted to hire other actors for a remake. She sounds way better in this one than the original
Whats the soundtrack? 3:00
Promise reprise
Bruh that's like the most famous song in the game, Just search Silent Hill 2 soundtrack it's always the first thing that pops up
@@kidguerrila yeah thanks, im new to the game so i dont know much
Look what they did to Maria...
She looks so pretty
She looks like a struggling person?
@@qxols
In the original definitely.
@@austinclark5278 in both.
@@austinclark5278 Both versions are
To be honest this is not as bad but i still do think the original is better. Not saying this is bad, but the face and voice is just not right.
in og she looks like angry 40 y old cat lady
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 she truly does lol
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 from cutscenes, no but in-game model? Agreed.
😢
I can fix her
Are you her dad?
They made angela depressed basketcase in the remake..the original angela was more stronger and smarter studying James
Head back to the tackle shop, dude. This is some low quality bait.
12:42 Then what’s this?
No disrespect to the VA, but it really feels like its being phoned in. Half the time it feels likes its being read off the script for the first time while recording.
She is an abuse victim. I've talked with and listened to how abuse victims carry themselves. The way you see Angela speak in the game is similar to how these people speak in real life. They are slow to talk, sometimes child like in their choice of words. There are instances where they cannot control their emotions and lash out. They also get confused easily.
It's hard to understand or know whats going on in their head, but im sure the guilt, self-hatred, and disgust for themselves makes it difficult for them to seem "normal".
WTH? I resonated the hell with her tone and lemme tell you from what I saw there, I could predict what she's going to say. It's totally true to life and I'm saying it based off of what I've been thru in life.
angela a cutie patootie
When gameplay?
soon
I think she looks cute.
Man, thank god for the mods... I didn't know Angela would look this freaking weird in the OG.
weird ? you mean like normal human girl ? u are so weird for this comment and need to go out more to see real ppl
👀
why her face kinda fat but her body really skinny....... weird anatomy
Some people have round/square faces. It has nothing to do with weight it’s just how some people’s heads are shaped lol
Cause she's supposed to be a normal person, not a Super model ?
Most 19 year old have a bit more rounder face then a 30 year old, because they still have some babyfat in their face.
@@juliaboskamp9666 it’s crazy how people don’t simply know that😂
Why is her face looks like she has an allergic reaction?
They did Angela so dirty in this remake…
Not at all, she's great. Would u prefer if she had double d's and nipple tassles or something?
you're dirty
Yeah but it’s not popular to say right now, you have to wait at least a year out until the retrospectives come out and it’s okay to be honest again.
@@Flx-zh8zeit’s just different or atleast a younger take on her. Not necessarily bad. If you wanna nitpick and be a jackass say that abt Maria
@@LuckyNeuron-ys8sy it’s just an opinion dude there’s no need to get overly emotional about it
First
🎉
And I'm last. Are you happy? Of course you not, cuz you never be happy.
This new angela'svoice acting is interesting. She's speaking like something in her mouth. Plus being lousy cheap soap drama queen is not really impressive at all.
That manner of speech is pretty common for awkward, stunted people who speak as if every other sentence has a 80% chance of getting them hit.
