      I'm just disappointed how they change Mary's letter on the end of this game. We can't have women apologizing to men today lol even though that was the entire point to see how toxic the situation between the two was getting. Mary's voice acting is bad too. Original Mary's VA literally cried when she read that letter so the new one is just terrible in getting that point across. I still remember the original performance vividly two decades later but this would just be so forgettable.

    Charlie, I can see why people think the combat in SH2 is clunky, but see it from this point of view. James is an average man (physically wise) he doesn’t know how to fight and I doubt he even knows how to shoot well besides “point and shoot” so when he fights he swings like it’s his last Hail Mary, and his guns sway a little cause he doesn’t know how to steady his pistol well. He’s not Leon who is a trained agent who can back flip sexily. James is just an average Joe fighting horrors beyond his comprehension

  • @thedofoshow5148
    @thedofoshow5148 Месяц назад +132

    Combat in horror games are a pretty complicated topic. If you lean too much into the combat and have a lot of encounters, you’ll slowly feel less scared and pay more attention to the combat itself, whether you’re ACTUALLY having fun constantly fighting.
    I think games like resident evil 2 remake do this really well. Combat in the police station is ill adviced due to how cramped the level is and the limited resources you have. Instead of blasting through enemies, you’re stunning and running past zombies, which is technically combat but still clenches your cheeks a little bit.
    I get that this isn’t resident evil but I’m just using that as an example for how to properly make engaging/scary combat.

    • @J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle
      @J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle Месяц назад +7

      Yeah, you are kinda right, but keep in mind that stunning zombies and running past them is something us veterans do. Players who are new to series or genre in general will absolutely try to kill every single zombie. Just look at Steam forum how many complain about running out of ammo early in the game.
      However us veterans (I assume you are as well?) kinda have this instinct to run pass most cannon fodder enemies. Heck I did this in Silent Hill remake as well for a while, it was just my instinct to avoid most of the enemies, fighting only ones that directly stand in my way or jump at me via cutscene. However enemies in this game are lot more nimble and aggressive overall, especially as games goes further and James slips further into abyss, so combat becomes unavoidable. But early game? I actually skip most of the enemies on pure instinct.

      @@SNP2082 It didn't. I don't know if you've played the Dead Space remake, but I have, as well as the Silent Hill 2 remake. While it's obvious that some corners were cut in the Silent Hill 2 remake, it's also clear that a lot more money was put into it. Dead Space had next to no advertising, almost no cutscenes, and the few cutscenes it does have don't feature the same high-quality MoCap and facial animations (although they are still pretty good) as Silent Hill 2, which also has an abundance of cutscenes. Meanwhile, Silent Hill 2 was advertised at multiple third-party conventions for years, with posters and graffiti in real life, as well as online and other types of ads. Konami is even paying popular live streamers in Japan to play the game, and that's really expensive. On the other hand, in Dead Space, even basic animations like Isaac's run cycle and combat animations look pretty poor by modern AAA standards (they even reused animations from the original game). So it's really not a debate, in my opinion. Silent Hill 2 had more money put into it.

    I've been a big fan of SH games for awhile and was really surprised remake turned out to be THIS good. Surely not without room for improvement, it still delivered a lot. I think they were restraint in some moments to not piss off gatekeeping strict OG fans, but I doubt adding couple more melee weapons, mechanics and features would hurt the narrative. I agree about enemy variety - they could've done more on that in the second half, maybe give even more presence to Closer/Mandarin monster, especially in Toluca Prison. Now I kinda wish to see SH1 and SH3 remakes.

You don't want them to ruin the entire experience for new players that have never played it before, because then they'd assume the original was just as bad. Or maybe you'll even be a bit self concious, thinking if everyone says they did it better this time around then it'll completely replace the original.

    This game was truly exceptional. However one aspect that I found less than satisfactory was the navigation. As Charlie mentioned maneuvering through certain parts of the game was quite challenging particularly the hospital section. This was the one area in the entire game that consumed a significant amount of time due to the difficulty in finding my way around. I eventually managed to progress with the aid of a RUclips video which I played alongside the game for guidance. I must admit the hospital section was quite demanding in terms of navigation.
    The challenge was not only in finding your way around but also in solving puzzles and locating the key passwords for these puzzles. Furthermore you had to collect various items to complete a puzzle all while fending off monsters. This was particularly difficult without the chainsaw which is only available after completing the game and starting a new game plus. Without the chainsaw it takes numerous hits to defeat some of the enemies even on the easiest difficulty level. Consequently your health is significantly depleted leaving your character on the brink of death and your screen bathed in red. This necessitates the use of a healing item as it becomes nearly impossible to discern what's on the screen.
    Despite the challenges posed by the hospital area I thoroughly enjoyed the game. There are far more positive aspects to appreciate than negatives. I would unequivocally recommend this game for purchase. It successfully creates an eerie and frightening atmosphere delivering a uniquely uncanny gaming experience.

    I like the fact that I can play RE4 remake, and yet the original remains essentially a different game for me to experience. The Half-Life series is my favorite of all time, and I love that I can play HL1 and Black Mesa and have two different experiences in the first installment of the series.
    If the OG Silent Hill 2 is quite a different game than the remake (and it sounds like that's the case), I will be even more excited to play it eventually.

    They nailed sound and atmosphere.
    I agree that the voice acting is better. There are certain scenes in OG SH2 that are kind of cringe or just funny, like Angela asking you if you’re gonna love her towards the end.
    At the same time, certain scenes lost emotional impact IMO. For example, I actually like Prison Maria’s talk in the OG version more. The “I’m not your Mary” has more bite in the OG, the whole scene is more…sinister. The new VA went a different way.
    Another example is Mary reading her letter during the ending. In the OG, she is about to cry, you hear her voice break several times. You don’t hear this with the remake’s VA. I have more examples but I’ll stop there.
    Lastly, 100% agree the bosses were better than the OG. Really liked what they did with the finale, compared to the OG.
    Edit: I did have some stutter and like 3 spots with bad bad frame drops.

    I agree about the combat for sure and how it’s never been the focal point, but even with the new mechanics, I honestly think it makes you feel pretty hopeless as well. James isn’t a super soldier or cop, he’s just a normal guy and his voice actor makes him feel so pathetic as he winces as he hits enemies. The original was definitely more or less just run away because you can’t do anything. But in this game, it really does make you feel like you have to win a fight to survive.

      That misses the point though. You're supposed to be a bit helpless, a bit useless. James is just a normal guy thrust into a nightmarish world fighting for his life. Personally think they got the balance spot on: between making it sufficiently awkward to match the character and make it a challenge, without it detracting from the gameplay.

    Great to hear that this kept that odd Twin Peaks-like vibe. Mine came in the mail late, so I started the OG S. H. for the 1st time since release. Bringing back memories (& going to compare them). Love the OG one, tho he gets out of breath a wee bit too easy, if you ask me. *As for the battling/fighting in this game, I surmise the fighting isn't "supposed" to be top notch, because he isn't a fighter.* The OG one got that point across .. a bit too much, with losing breath. Can't wait to play it next.

  • @BeagleBabSkye
    @BeagleBabSkye Месяц назад +27

    My only complaint with the combat is the very first enemy. In the original game, when you see the first Lying Figure, it doesn't fight back at all, putting more on the psychological aspect of "Was this a real person or some creature created by the town?" Now, in the remake, the Lying Figure actually does fight back which takes away from the psychological aspects of game since we know that the enemies are related to the psychosis of James in some regard.
    I haven't gotten that far only because my controller now has major stick drift and I have to spend a good bit to get a new one or you know... be having James move left a lot when I'm not doing anything. But from what I've seen and heard, yeah it is really freaking good. I was hesitant cause Bloober Team haven't been good in the past with their portrayal of psychologically, mentally fucked characters and other controversies but I can say without a doubt this has been a good addition to my collection of games.
    (Edit:) I realized I left out something about the original that I haven't progressed far enough into the remake to see yet. In the original game, when you go back to where you killed the first enemy, there's police tape around the area blocking it off as if some horrific crime has taken place. Again, this plays into the psycho-analyzing of the characters and if what happened there really was real. That's why I started this initial complaint but I'm hoping it'll be there still in the remake.

    • @DementedView
      @DementedView Месяц назад +4

      Not only that but James isn't exactly cornered here, so it doesn't make sense for him to just fight. He has room to run where as in the original he would have to crawl out of the tight spot he's in.

      @BeagleBabSkye Месяц назад +3

      This is not true, it fights back and it will spit on you, it's just that it's tutorial monster meant to teach you how to fight, so they give you some slack and it takes a while for it to attack. But it will start attacking if you don't attack it first for some time.

I ADORE Silent Hill 2, when I played the original I was obsessed with it, it is in my personal opinion the best horror game of all time. The story to this day is so freaking good. And the fact that all the enemy types and such have a meaning as to why they look the way they do, it’s phenomenal. Psychological horror at its best. I really hope with the success of this remake we might see more remakes and a real come back for Silent Hill in the same way Resident Evil has made a return.
