you can see they've put their heart into this trailer. They really wanted the fans to get some feels haha I think i've watched it like 15 times. they did such a great job
I cannot believe how hard they turned me around with just ONE trailer. The last showcase had me firmly in the "oh this is not going to even come close to doing the original justice" camp, and then suddenly they drop this trailer and every part of it is *incredible*.
The earlier stuff was ABSOLUTELY more in a beta stage I feel? As soon as they took feedback and changed James’ face I was like “okay so we ARE cooking.”
@@restless07was just about to say that. The gameplay is great, definitely a spiritual successor to the janky gameplay of the original, just modernized!
Absolutely love your passion towards these games. My friend passed away from covid 2 years ago and this will be the first time I've played a silent hill game day of release without him. We played every single game together day of release since the first in 1999 😔
In the original jail scene, Maria initially seems more innocent and playful towards the beginning of the scene, and gradually gets more sinister. In this version, it seems to be the opposite. She has a manipulative tone reminiscent to that of Hanibal Lectre, but gets more emotional toward the end of the scene. I think it's a great direction for this version!
"It feels like a hug." Best description and justification of why I spent the whole damn trailer crying and mouthing the words. It felt like home. A creepy, foggy, disturbing home, but ultimately my home.
I've just watched all your videos reacting to the past transmissions about the remake, and now i'm crying alongside with you on this one. It's so good to finally see someone being positive and showing love for this project. It really feels lke a hug, I'm just happy with all of this :')
I can't believe that out of every character in the game, It's Eddie that completely floored me with how they did him in the remake. I can't imagine him being any more perfect than he looked in the trailer. They somehow made him look more pitiable while also giving him a piercing icy gaze that really sells how far gone he was by the time we meet him in the Prison. He barely looked like he even registered that James was standing in front of him. Can't wait to see how they handle his fight.
I refuse to watch the gameplay myself because I’d rather experience it on stream for the first time! But hearing that people love how it is so far makes me so happy
This remake is looking so DAMN good and promising! And the fact that they even recreated the story trailer with moments from the e3 2001 is really impressive too 🤩...even if the latter showed WAY TOO much lmao
Whoever made this trailer needs to get a raise. And the remade music of "Promise"... chef's kiss. Its like the original trailer but they cut out the fat
I'm so glad they eased a lot of people's minds when they showed a lot of these shot for shot clips. Really shows how they're trying to keep as much of the original as possible while adding their own creative style to it. Simply cannot wait for release.
Yeah! I feel like this trailer along with them changing James' face when people were like... not pleased with the original one they had, means so much? Like they CARE!
@@AshleyRoboto and I'm so psyched that Akira yamaoka is on board with the music as well as others from the original games. It just makes it feel like Bloober is pulling out all the stops to make sure this release is solid.
The last part of the guitar, Yamaoka-san knows how to express deep feelings with his music, its soo fucking good the last part , i cried the first time i saw this trailer
I totally feel you in this reaction. Looking at the trailer and the first minutes from the gameplay, it feels like this is like a dream come true. It is just not possible we are receiving this remake and with this quality... What a time to be alive 💜
I was one of the people that had faith in Bloober from the start, knowing they were huge fans of this game, and it's so nice to see so many others become optimistic and even sold with this remake now because of this trailer and the new gameplay 🙏 The positivity surrounding this is amazing to see. They cooked a 5 star meal with this trailer 🔥
I’ve been arguing with folks this whole time like I get it, but you can tell Bloober is huge fans of the series. They wouldn’t be in charge of the story at all just the ATMOSPHERE which I’ve always appreciated from them! I’m so stoked.
@@AshleyRoboto sameeeee though!! Eventually I gave up trying to make people understand why I believed they were the right choice for this remake 😭 Bloober are so good at creating atmospheres and they NAILED it in this game too. I'm actually about to pre-order my deluxe version today, finally!! 😄
I actually cried when I watched the Trailer once more... At the very End of the it... This New Version of Promise helped a lot to make me feel like that. God Damn! Akira Yamaoka was blessed at playing that Guitar. Loved your Reaction and your Huge Passion for the Game, My Friend. I never played SH2, but I'm so excited to play it at last when the Remake arrives. However, there's no doubts on me that the OST was One of the Main Things that hooked me up already
I like how they are going about the scene in the new game, instead of Maria acting fake by her laughing at noting and acting like she likes James so much, she is like a empty husk going through the motions showing you how its not real, but then when she puts it on she puts it on and you get like lost in the fantasy of "see I am real." While its different from the original it accomplishes the same goal in a different way which is real neat to see something new but sticking to the og.
There has been so much constant negativity from so much of the silent hill community over this game. I’ve always had faith and it is so nice seeing a streamer be so excited. :)
Same here girl! I was a total bawlin' mess watching this trailer and especially the new gameplay footage (you can see it in my own react video). All those same emotions I felt 22+ years ago came flooding back and I was not expecting to get so emotional! This game looks amazing and they absolutely nailed it! They've done everything I wanted in this remake and much more. Can't friggin' wait!
@@AshleyRoboto I totally get it. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of tears saved up for when that day comes. I still have plenty left in reserve. :) Bring on Oct 6th / 8th!
In last days I saw many reactions, but one was still missing - it was yours. I don't watch your channel, but I remember your awesome reaction of Silent Hill Transmission last time. Yesterday I saw your video about changes - and I was sad that you going to skip this one. What a surprise today. Thanks.
Hey Ashley! Did you know there was a popular gif of you on Twitter saying: “The lion, the witch… and the audacity of this bitch!”? It made me laugh out loud. 😂
by the end of this trailer Maria becomes so loving to James. The actress is very talented, and I have a feeling when she reads the letter it will break me
This story trailer is just incredible! I think I’ve watched it about like 10 times already! I just had to see your reaction immediately after I watched it the first time because you’re the biggest Silent Hill fan I know! I’m so excited for Silent Hill 2! October 8th can’t come soon enough! 😆🙌🏻
I've been a fan of this series since I was honestly probably too young to be, wore the discs out on my old PS2. My first ever handmade cosplay was a cardboard Pyramid Head. My mom came and got me out of high school early for a fake doctor's appt that was actually us going to see the Silent Hill movie (she liked watching me play the games and was a bit of a fan too). I LOVE Silent Hill. And I can tell Bloober does too. Even way back to finding easter eggs referencing the SH games in their older games like Observer. I'm so glad Konami trusted them with it, and they were able to pull off all the improvements from the initial trailers. By all accounts, from people that got the chance to play it for a few hours, it is SHOCKINGLY good. I'm so excited to get my hands on it.
Rewatching this after watching you play the original on stream and maaaan I can't wait to see you play this! The moment when Maria says "I'm not your Mary"? Chills
I cried watching this video. Seeing you be such a skeptic watching the earlier gameplay stuff (rightfully so), and then now being so excited it's just so good. AND THIS TRAILER IS INSANE LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I was never fully a skeptic!! I always had faith! I was always excited, but this moved the needle for me from cautiously optimistic to more optimistic!
As a big fan of silent hill 2 I kust say, this trailer looks amazing. I still dont think it will touch the origial but it looks like its going to be a great remake. The only problem i have with this trailer is Marias dead pan delivery when she's talking about the video tape. In the original when she drops the "I'm not your Mary" line, her personality changes and in this one she just sounds bored. All in all, great trailer.
See this Is why I, a 53-year-old gamer go with MY INSTICNCTS and don't listen to the Masses! I have played Silent Hill 2 for over 20 years in all it's different incarnations, I like what I see! And before anyone argues, let's Define Incarnation. Incarnation, definition #2 a particular physical form or state : version!
Good job Bloober. Keep it going. My tiny wishlist is maybe like at new game plus you get to unlock the original costumes like RE4R, but that’s not a deal breaker
@@AshleyRoboto ya I mean I’ve played it a ton of times one of my fav games ever. New Mary is great for me except this one scene. She doesn’t seem to have any emotion, flip back and forth to Mary/Maria, doesn’t get angry “I’m not your Mary”, and her eyes don’t roll back into her head “I am if you want me to be”. Can’t wait for the game tho!!! Hope they include a VR mode like RE7, RE8, and RE4 Remake!!!
I have felt like i'm the only person in this world who loves this version of Maria more. She looks so beautiful and her eyes look so scary suddenly when she says "I am not your Mary." I also love her new outfit much more. And Mary's letter line sounds so heartbreaking I want to cry. 😭 I also like new Eddie more. The og one looked and acted like a manic college jock bully, but in remake he looks scary and dangerous. I feel like I will love all the characters more in remake.
this is one of the biggest 180 turns ive ever seen with a fanbase. the first few trailers we've seen didnt impress... in fact i hated them. these 2 new ones just turned it around.. wowww. i attribute it to akira yamaokas guitars...
Ash, you described it perfectly- the nostalgia this trailer gave me??? I used to watch my dad play this game and we’d work on the puzzles together. Video games and puzzles were how we connected. We never finished the game and the monsters always freaked me out but I will be tearing up / full on crying with you on stream knowing I can’t see my dad enjoy this remake. (Clarecatdisco on twitch 💕💕💕) I cannot WAIT for your silent hill marathon to start, it’s going to be my comfort watch for quite some time going into fall.
About the one thing I would nitpick is that in the Original, Maria has a lot of venom in the cell scene. But other than that. Holy shit what an improvement. October can't get here fast enough. On a side note. The 2000 Tokyo Game Show trailer of Silent Hill 2 will always be my favourite one mostly due to an unreleased track at the end of the trailer that perfectly captures the sadness and melancholy of the whole game.
At first the teaser did not sold me at all, and then I remembered they did The Medium which I liked since it was like a love letter to the Survival Horror from the 32-bit era. Then this trailer showed up and I have immediately pre-ordered the Steam version faster than I can react. I love the PS2 version (my top favorite PS2 game), and this trailer really sold me. I’m really liking Maria’s voice actress and model. She captured the character from the original- well I won’t spoil for the newcomers. There is one spoiler not covered in both new and OG PS2 trailer. It dropped my guard when I found out the truth. Well I said enough. I can’t wait.
SH2 Remake Trailers in a nutshell: Previous Trailers: "You should see your face reaction too (laughs)." Story Trailer: "No,no, no! I'm here for you, fans. See? I'm REAL!"
Didn´t felt her tone at start,call me stupid but it´s not the same feeling,not saying that is bad but it doesn´t feel the same tone,graphics,gameplay etc it´s perfect,hopt it sells well to also get silent hill origins and 1 both are insane in everything aspect.Like and sub,grettings from argentina.
My gut reaction to this was irritation. I'm hyped, but the scene with Maria behind bars feels like it misses the mark. In the original, Maria sounds like Mary when she speaks to James about stuff only Mary would know about/feel. When he asks "Aren't you Maria?" her voice change is so goddamn bone chilling when she says "I'm not your Mary." Just shivers, every time, for decades every time I see that scene. In the new trailer, she sounds the same, the whole time. To be fair, on a 3rd watch, she indeed sounds like Mary (only in the video tape scene, though; her letter reading voice sounds a biiit more akin to OG Mary vibes in contrast), but I feel like its because she's making the two characters sound the same when they originally weren't intended to sound/speak the same. If I'm being charitable, remake Maria's monologue behind bars sounds like a woman James has grown with over the years with and is picking his brain. My gut is telling me she sounds like a tired, bored woman James had a one night stand with. Its just so bland. She's a great voice actress, but I feel like whoever was directing the voice acting in this scene needs to study the OG scene more. By today's standards a total voice changeup is maybe tacky/corny, but there was *something* that original voice direction was conveying. It makes James and the player question who/what the hell Maria is and what she's doing. Angela is still a disappointment to me. The voice direction sounding so bored instead of lost just makes me annoyed with her character. Idk, maybe I'll change my mind once I play the game. I just got a SH tat as my first tat so I'm obviously not gonna miss out on this.
@@djgabucay I'm not speaking from nostalgia. Nostalgia implies I'm saying "the old was better intrinsically because it was the original." This game will probably be great in its own right. I don't have a problem with the added lines, the change in James' first encounter with a monster, etc. I have a problem when the most integral parts of the delivery of the story feel stale and uninspired. I recently saw a low budget fan-made live action SH2 trailer, and even the actress there delivered the labyrinth lines more faithfully than this did. Even there, they picked up on the switch in demeanor in the delivery of the line "I'm not your Mary." Its blatant. Not hard to see. I'm flabbergasted as to how they didn't even attempt this. This whole scene was a mindfuck for players of the original and for James. Here its presented as just... lines being read. There's a bit of mystery in her delivery of that line, but the deviousness is absent. The deviousness was integral to this scene. It made you writhe in your skin. Don't get me wrong she's great in her delivery. But the direction is wrong if they're trying to make a "faithful" remake, which is something they've been claiming. Maybe they're going for something different, idk. But that's hard to believe given the effort that they've made everywhere else.
I'm so tired of all the stupid "woke" accusations about the changes to Maria that have been floating around and have intensified since the story trailer dropped. A midriff with a pink cheetah-print skirt doesn't scream "sex" the same way it did back in the early 2000's and would look extremely dated now in a very stupid way. OG Maria hit the player over the head with "I'm a sassy sex object", and it worked really well in getting that part of her character across. With detailed models and facial mocap Maria seems to be far more realistic with how she expresses sexuality to James in the last line of the trailer (the pacing of her words, the heavy sigh, the inflection on "I'm real"). It's a far more accurate (de-pornified) depiction of what sexuality between long-term partners actually looks like. It's not just being horny, but also the closeness and vulnerability that comes with being sexual with a partner. This makes what James wanted from Mary but couldn't have when she was sick all the more poignant and tragic. I'm more excited than ever for new Maria!
??? What do you mean? Just on this channel? Because I have a review coming probably next week 👀 But if you mean in general, idk how you haven’t seen anything because EVERYONE and their mother has been playing it? I see it EVERYWHERE
@@AshleyRoboto thank you for your respond. as a Japanese all-time fan of silent Hill I wanna see you play and see your reaction because the game actually is really good. It’s literally 8/10 the only problem I can complain in this game is Angela faces but the rest is just beautiful and I’m kind of Japanese who like to see how overseas fan react to this game. Anyway, have a nice day. Take care of yourself.
tbh I don't like the voice direction for mary/maria in the remake. She sounds so bored. Is she not supposed to sound like Mary when channeling her memories to fuck with James? There's supposed to be a clear switch between the two and there just isn't. Remember, we only have the OG monster designer and soundtrack guy, so it would make sense that they're missing some of the writing and character symbolism (Visually it looks great)
I like the voice, but I agree that the original had more spite and venom to it. I see it that she’s completely lifeless and apathetic. Even the way she calls him forgetful comes off condescending. I like the way her face changes so much though. It goes from cold and tight to soft and her eyes light up when she gets up to comfort James.
The gameplay trailer seemed to NOT have Pyramid boy, molesting the mannequin monster. If that's truly scrapped from the final game, then that would be disappointing. The whole point of Pyramidhead is about being a perv. 😅
12:58 Im not a fan of new "I'm not your Mary". This has very strong impact on this scene. The original creators knew what they were doing here, and the “Making of Silent Hill 2” clearly describes it, and there's a lot of sense in that. It's a shame, but in terms of the overall story, I'm delighted. Laura, James and Eddy promise to be brilliant. Angela has a great voice in this trailer, and Mary/Maria is a bit of an unknown to me.
Hey man, the guy's a HUGE fan and it already seemed to be fairly faithful (and using a TON of practical effects too!) I'm actually very excited for that movie bc I unironically think the first Silent Hill movie is such a fun time LOL
Why was this trailer good? Because they copyed the old one. Literally everything that is new or made by blooper in the game is bad. The animations different voice acting and stupid box moving puzzels from last of us. See how the canera focus on marias hand and blurr her face? Well for me it was an important moment and i want to see that face. Also the new camera ruins the shot were james sees marys dress and picks up the flashlight
@@AshleyRoboto hey i will buy the game and i think it will be great but i just want that people know that the og does not suck and is even better in some scenes
The actress did a terrible job. She missed the whole point of Mary/Maria. Her delivery of iconic and most important lines in the story is messed up and boring.
This remarks looks terrible. They sucked out all the soul of the original. Maria looks older and her outfit is dumbed down. I’m sticking with the original. Too bad they couldn’t get this right.
As a die hard silent hill fan, its a pretty good rendition to it. I think people just put the OG way too high on a pedestal and have already decided to hate it whatever bloober does.
@@Cat66-p6qYou are an delusional "diehard" ahahah, youre so ignorant that you even tried to diminish the classics which are masterpieces, go change your diapers and its bad to lie, you cant fool anyone
“See? I’m real.” gave me so many goosebumps i’m so excited.

Real! Like it’s a new version of something we love! We will always have the original, and now we’ll have this too!
@@AshleyRoboto Exactly my dear!
tou have to see the 27 minute long gameplay!!! im trully excited (more than i already was) and id love to see your reaction!
I don’t wanna watch it until I play it! I want to experience it for myself on stream 🥹❤️
I really like how every trailer just keeps getting better. I am praying for BLOOBER to knock this shit out of the park
the hype levels are so fucking high i almost can't even comprehend it.
Never played the og so excited to see what makes this series so cool.
After seeing it a few times I am now really hyped, I can't wait just to be in the world of Silent hill.
They realized? Can you feel the nostalgia and melancholy in the new version of "Promise"? It is sadly beautiful.
Good job Bloober. Keep it going. My tiny wishlist is maybe like at new game plus you get to unlock the original costumes like RE4R, but that’s not a deal breaker
best reaction ever!!! I was reacting as you
Already pre ordered october 8th can't come any faster now that I'm excited and waiting for something 😂
Maria looks stunning!
it feels like this trailer better than game itself
Day 1 purchase. Maria in that scene seems very monotone, great in other scenes
She’s supposed to sound weird and odd in that scene! It’s *SPOILERS* after you think she’s dead! And it’s off putting!
@@AshleyRoboto ya I mean I’ve played it a ton of times one of my fav games ever. New Mary is great for me except this one scene. She doesn’t seem to have any emotion, flip back and forth to Mary/Maria, doesn’t get angry “I’m not your Mary”, and her eyes don’t roll back into her head “I am if you want me to be”. Can’t wait for the game tho!!! Hope they include a VR mode like RE7, RE8, and RE4 Remake!!!
I have felt like i'm the only person in this world who loves this version of Maria more. She looks so beautiful and her eyes look so scary suddenly when she says "I am not your Mary." I also love her new outfit much more. And Mary's letter line sounds so heartbreaking I want to cry. 😭
I also like new Eddie more. The og one looked and acted like a manic college jock bully, but in remake he looks scary and dangerous. I feel like I will love all the characters more in remake.
Domo arigato Mirs Ashley Roboto
Mataauhimade! 🤧
this is one of the biggest 180 turns ive ever seen with a fanbase. the first few trailers we've seen didnt impress... in fact i hated them. these 2 new ones just turned it around.. wowww. i attribute it to akira yamaokas guitars...
Ash, you described it perfectly- the nostalgia this trailer gave me??? I used to watch my dad play this game and we’d work on the puzzles together. Video games and puzzles were how we connected. We never finished the game and the monsters always freaked me out but I will be tearing up / full on crying with you on stream knowing I can’t see my dad enjoy this remake. (Clarecatdisco on twitch 💕💕💕)
I cannot WAIT for your silent hill marathon to start, it’s going to be my comfort watch for quite some time going into fall.
It's SO nostalgic it's wild. I feel so excited. I can't wait to experience it all with you guys in chat!!
About the one thing I would nitpick is that in the Original, Maria has a lot of venom in the cell scene. But other than that. Holy shit what an improvement. October can't get here fast enough. On a side note. The 2000 Tokyo Game Show trailer of Silent Hill 2 will always be my favourite one mostly due to an unreleased track at the end of the trailer that perfectly captures the sadness and melancholy of the whole game.
i adore ur reactions
🥹 thank you pal!
OMG that song rocks soo hard
At first the teaser did not sold me at all, and then I remembered they did The Medium which I liked since it was like a love letter to the Survival Horror from the 32-bit era.
Then this trailer showed up and I have immediately pre-ordered the Steam version faster than I can react.
I love the PS2 version (my top favorite PS2 game), and this trailer really sold me. I’m really liking Maria’s voice actress and model. She captured the character from the original- well I won’t spoil for the newcomers. There is one spoiler not covered in both new and OG PS2 trailer. It dropped my guard when I found out the truth.
Well I said enough. I can’t wait.
If you're a Fan then you know how sucks it is to not being an AC. But Man october 8 feels like freakin 5 years.
Hushed mounds LFG!
LETS GOOOO
babe wake up new soyjak just dropped
SH2 Remake Trailers in a nutshell:
Previous Trailers: "You should see your face reaction too (laughs)."
Story Trailer: "No,no, no! I'm here for you, fans. See? I'm REAL!"
See?... I'm real. 🦋
It still looks a bit "sterile" the atmosphere is not the same and everything looks cleaner. than the original...but still an ok trailer.
Didn´t felt her tone at start,call me stupid but it´s not the same feeling,not saying that is bad but it doesn´t feel the same tone,graphics,gameplay etc it´s perfect,hopt it sells well to also get silent hill origins and 1 both are insane in everything aspect.Like and sub,grettings from argentina.
I wouldn’t say Eddie is ‘normal’. He’s definitely got issues from the second you meet him. But I’ll agree he’s not that bat shit crazy at the start 😂
Maria just sound pissed of instead of mysterious
linda emoção . verdadeira gamer
Guys look a birdie :p
Pls tell me you did the soyjack meme on purpose lol
I absolutely did LMAO
My gut reaction to this was irritation. I'm hyped, but the scene with Maria behind bars feels like it misses the mark. In the original, Maria sounds like Mary when she speaks to James about stuff only Mary would know about/feel. When he asks "Aren't you Maria?" her voice change is so goddamn bone chilling when she says "I'm not your Mary." Just shivers, every time, for decades every time I see that scene.
In the new trailer, she sounds the same, the whole time. To be fair, on a 3rd watch, she indeed sounds like Mary (only in the video tape scene, though; her letter reading voice sounds a biiit more akin to OG Mary vibes in contrast), but I feel like its because she's making the two characters sound the same when they originally weren't intended to sound/speak the same.
If I'm being charitable, remake Maria's monologue behind bars sounds like a woman James has grown with over the years with and is picking his brain. My gut is telling me she sounds like a tired, bored woman James had a one night stand with. Its just so bland. She's a great voice actress, but I feel like whoever was directing the voice acting in this scene needs to study the OG scene more. By today's standards a total voice changeup is maybe tacky/corny, but there was *something* that original voice direction was conveying. It makes James and the player question who/what the hell Maria is and what she's doing.
Angela is still a disappointment to me. The voice direction sounding so bored instead of lost just makes me annoyed with her character.
Idk, maybe I'll change my mind once I play the game. I just got a SH tat as my first tat so I'm obviously not gonna miss out on this.
Nostagia addiction is not Cool bro it kills progress and makes gate keepers.
@@djgabucay I'm not speaking from nostalgia. Nostalgia implies I'm saying "the old was better intrinsically because it was the original." This game will probably be great in its own right.
I don't have a problem with the added lines, the change in James' first encounter with a monster, etc. I have a problem when the most integral parts of the delivery of the story feel stale and uninspired.
I recently saw a low budget fan-made live action SH2 trailer, and even the actress there delivered the labyrinth lines more faithfully than this did. Even there, they picked up on the switch in demeanor in the delivery of the line "I'm not your Mary." Its blatant. Not hard to see. I'm flabbergasted as to how they didn't even attempt this. This whole scene was a mindfuck for players of the original and for James. Here its presented as just... lines being read. There's a bit of mystery in her delivery of that line, but the deviousness is absent. The deviousness was integral to this scene. It made you writhe in your skin.
Don't get me wrong she's great in her delivery. But the direction is wrong if they're trying to make a "faithful" remake, which is something they've been claiming. Maybe they're going for something different, idk. But that's hard to believe given the effort that they've made everywhere else.
You are beauty.
trailer definitely carried by the music - but still looking great.
Laura and Eddie Looks so real, like wtf? Super good... Maria not so much.
I think Maria looks great!
I'm so tired of all the stupid "woke" accusations about the changes to Maria that have been floating around and have intensified since the story trailer dropped. A midriff with a pink cheetah-print skirt doesn't scream "sex" the same way it did back in the early 2000's and would look extremely dated now in a very stupid way. OG Maria hit the player over the head with "I'm a sassy sex object", and it worked really well in getting that part of her character across. With detailed models and facial mocap Maria seems to be far more realistic with how she expresses sexuality to James in the last line of the trailer (the pacing of her words, the heavy sigh, the inflection on "I'm real"). It's a far more accurate (de-pornified) depiction of what sexuality between long-term partners actually looks like. It's not just being horny, but also the closeness and vulnerability that comes with being sexual with a partner. This makes what James wanted from Mary but couldn't have when she was sick all the more poignant and tragic. I'm more excited than ever for new Maria!
The game just came out and why I didn’t see anything Related to silent Hill 2 remake ??? Weird
??? What do you mean? Just on this channel? Because I have a review coming probably next week 👀
But if you mean in general, idk how you haven’t seen anything because EVERYONE and their mother has been playing it? I see it EVERYWHERE
@@AshleyRoboto thank you for your respond. as a Japanese all-time fan of silent Hill I wanna see you play and see your reaction because the game actually is really good. It’s literally 8/10 the only problem I can complain in this game is Angela faces but the rest is just beautiful and I’m kind of Japanese who like to see how overseas fan react to this game. Anyway, have a nice day. Take care of yourself.
I cannot wait to for Leon and Ashley mods on this thing...
You already know 😂
Yes graphic is so good, will buy ps5 and then play this game 😊😊😊 now we have what to play in next 20 years 😂😂
tbh I don't like the voice direction for mary/maria in the remake. She sounds so bored. Is she not supposed to sound like Mary when channeling her memories to fuck with James? There's supposed to be a clear switch between the two and there just isn't.
Remember, we only have the OG monster designer and soundtrack guy, so it would make sense that they're missing some of the writing and character symbolism
(Visually it looks great)
I like the voice, but I agree that the original had more spite and venom to it. I see it that she’s completely lifeless and apathetic. Even the way she calls him forgetful comes off condescending. I like the way her face changes so much though. It goes from cold and tight to soft and her eyes light up when she gets up to comfort James.
The gameplay trailer seemed to NOT have Pyramid boy, molesting the mannequin monster. If that's truly scrapped from the final game, then that would be disappointing. The whole point of Pyramidhead is about being a perv. 😅
Headsup masahiro ito actually said ph wasnt raping the mannequin. Either way, the first trailer showed it anyway
12:58 Im not a fan of new "I'm not your Mary". This has very strong impact on this scene. The original creators knew what they were doing here, and the “Making of Silent Hill 2” clearly describes it, and there's a lot of sense in that. It's a shame, but in terms of the overall story, I'm delighted. Laura, James and Eddy promise to be brilliant. Angela has a great voice in this trailer, and Mary/Maria is a bit of an unknown to me.
And then we're gonna get an AWFUL film adaptation later next year XD
Hey man, the guy's a HUGE fan and it already seemed to be fairly faithful (and using a TON of practical effects too!) I'm actually very excited for that movie bc I unironically think the first Silent Hill movie is such a fun time LOL
Why was this trailer good? Because they copyed the old one. Literally everything that is new or made by blooper in the game is bad. The animations different voice acting and stupid box moving puzzels from last of us.
See how the canera focus on marias hand and blurr her face? Well for me it was an important moment and i want to see that face. Also the new camera ruins the shot were james sees marys dress and picks up the flashlight
Isn’t it exhausting being so god damn negative about everything man? Lmao
@@AshleyRoboto hey i will buy the game and i think it will be great but i just want that people know that the og does not suck and is even better in some scenes
The actress did a terrible job. She missed the whole point of Mary/Maria. Her delivery of iconic and most important lines in the story is messed up and boring.
Agree to disagree bestie, I think she does a pretty solid job, as someone who has like every single one of her lines memorized lmao
Nah, for me this new version was scarier than the original.
This remarks looks terrible. They sucked out all the soul of the original. Maria looks older and her outfit is dumbed down. I’m sticking with the original. Too bad they couldn’t get this right.
Ashley you are so cute, i like your videos but you really liked this remake?
??? This looks genuinely good, yes?? LOL the game isn’t out yet so I can’t give a yes or no if I like it but I’m very hopeful about it!
@@AshleyRoboto Fair enough but i dont have any hope for this remake
As a die hard silent hill fan, its a pretty good rendition to it. I think people just put the OG way too high on a pedestal and have already decided to hate it whatever bloober does.
@@Cat66-p6qYou are an delusional "diehard" ahahah, youre so ignorant that you even tried to diminish the classics which are masterpieces, go change your diapers and its bad to lie, you cant fool anyone
This remake is done, konami grabbed the ESG money and now they will need to accept failure, they think they can fool the veterans of this franchise?
Baby it’s okay to admit that it looks like it might be an alright remake! It’s not gonna hurt you!
@@AshleyRoboto I might accept it just because you are too cute)
Remove veteran and change it to gatekeeper
@@Cat66-p6q Remove "diehard" like you proclaimed yourself in the other comment and change it to "newbie" ahahah
You're such an amazing human being just saying ❤😊
