"I got a game, the name on the cover said Silent Hill 2, my favourite game's name. It's ridiculous! Couldn't possibly be true, that's what I keep telling myself... A Ps5 can't play a Ps2 game. My favourite game died with my damn Ps2, 3 years ago."
Peak comment
Bloober team done pretty good job on Eddie
They make him like you want to help him but as the story goes you feel like don't want to go near him and he's obviously dangerous if you didn't know how to approach him
This makes Eddie more dangerous and make his character to be taken seriously
@@ardiansyahindiechannel3166 the fight with him in the original is broken. I finished the the game last night and killed him so quick just holding R2 and X with the metal pipe
@@Lordicus21 yeah the first fight is easy
Just spam steel pipe at him
But the second fight is hard because Eddie is unpredictable
In normal it would take a 6 or more shotgun shot to kill him
But in hard difficult Eddie is hard to defeat he often move unpredictable
This is the hard part for me to get 10 star run in the og
Beside the boat sequence
Luke Roberts was incredible as James. Eddies voice actor was incredible, and Angela’s voice actor was incredible.
My only criticism is with the actor for Maria. She was good, but in multiple scenes she did not hit the mark. Such as the jail cell scene, and the reading of the letter at the end. She didn’t put enough emotion into her performance. In the jail cell scene, she failed to capture that subtle shift between Mary and Maria.
I honestly like the new Maria very much. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original one, but she somewhat felt a little bit in-the-face to me. I don’t know how to explain. She didn’t sound like a normal person, in an “I would immediately distrust a woman who behaved and spoke to me like this” way. New Maria may sound a bit more “plain” or “reserved”, in a sense, but I feel she sounds more believable as a normal (or, well, normal-passing) girl. I think the old VA was great for an early 2000s game, but it might sound very uncanny (and not in a good way) in a game with such realistic graphics. To me, a more naturalistic and subtle voice acting was the sensible approach in this Remake.
No one could have topped the original letter. It's the best voice acting performance in the history of video games.
@@phillystevesteak6982no offense but u riding that imaginary meat
@@Francesc1983 that's kinda the point bro. It's dream logic not reality and maria is a part of that dream her not coming across as natural or real is the point.
@@samuraibear5102 Yes, that was the point of the original one, bro. And the point of the remake is trying to be more realistic. And in my oppinion, of which everyone has their own, it works better in this instance due to the more realistic graphics. If I saw seemingly real people speaking as the characters did in the original game, it would just seem to be bad acting.
To me the OG is way-better due to it's narrative direction and characterization.
James' character was designed to be emotionally stunted and unhinged but could be easily misinterpreted as acting goofy, until we start to witness him jumping down holes like crazy and realize what he did to Mary in the first place.
James here in remake is trying to act like what a normal guy who lost his wife would generally do. He sounds sad and self-conscious, hesitates before jumping down holes or sticking his arms into them.
But this direction ultimately doesn't tie well into the final reveal. SH2 is mostly about revealing James' subconscious desire to be punished for the sins he committed, making him act all self-conscious and suddenly remembering what he had done in the end fails to capture the character's denial state of mind, rendering the impact of the reveal cheap.
New Maria's problem was that trying to redo her lines in a "this is how normal humans talk" way ignores the fact that her character as a whole is a archetypical femme fatale whose sole purpose was to torment James psychologically.
and also in the og one they know where to stop after a line/ the remake just continues theres no stopping in line making it lack of emphasis and each sentences seems so dull, Maria's line in remake is so lack of emotion and sounds so forceful in the og her va's voice goes up and down the remake one is just yeah dullllll, but they did add more lines and jokes tho appreciate that
To be fair, nothing will ever top the OG for old fans. It was unique for its time and it's impossible to do that again in a remake. You gotta learn to love the remake for what it is and not be too critical.
@@salazar556 I was on the sympathetic side rooting for Bloober when the majority of gamers were trashing this project, until story trailer came out and fans praising the remake starts coming up with hilarious takes such as “ there is no such thing as censorship in Silent hill 2 remake because there’s nothing sexual about it” and started targeting fair criticism as delusional nitpicks. Endless compromises give developers more excuse to bring inferior products to the table.
90% of remake is better. 10% OG is better.
@@salazar556 Take the infamous jail scene for example, they could have easily go on a 1:1 recreation repeating all the dialogue beat regarding Maria but they chose to suspiciously remove elements that made her appear sinister and inhuman in the first place. Considering DEI involvement I really don’t think they dropped the ball accidentally. Same for pulsating holes re-contextualized in industrial landscape, same for pyramid head’s impactful scenes missing.
Fun fact: Evie Templeton is playing Laura in the upcoming movie too.
Wait, what? There’s a movie coming out? Oh man, please let it not be terrible…
@@francisco646 It's from the director who did the first SH and it will closely follow SH2 story. So I'm sure it'll be amazing. Can't wait. It's been my most anticipated movie ever since it was announced.
So, they're aging Laura up to a teenager?
'course that shouldn't come as a shock. The guy playing James looks nothing like his game counterpart; looking more like Jacob from Jacob's Ladder, instead.
@@zukuu Have you seen his first SH movie? He didn't closely follow SH1's story. What makes you think it'll be any different with his SH2 film?
@@madamefluffy4788 Yeah, it's one of my favorite horror movies. SH was just based on the IP itself, but they announced the new movie will portray the story of the second game.
The remakes are good - but I highly prefer OG Maria and Angela.
Laura’s actress NAILED it in the remake. Eddie’s actor did too.
Especially the Angela last scene
All of theme are debatable which one is better but for Mary/Maria is without doubt is the og. That letter in the end especially is just phenomenal.
Angela new voice is awful, she sounds bored out of her mind without emotion, look side by side the cemetary scene
@@diogopereira1475you have zero idea what severe, long term emotional, physical and sexual abuse can do to a person.
@@troyb4533 angela been through that and thats EXACTLY why in the remake she doesnt speak like someone that has, she speaks like a bored and spoiled teenager, and as i mentioned, the cemetary scene best shows that
Apparently it can cause them to be a terrible actor?
@@troyb4533you miss the point that she also has anger issues like the original. She committed homicide because she finally snapped. The original shows both sides of Angela while the remake just has her at the depressed monotone victim who didn't commit murder sound.
They missed that part of her anger and suspicion of men entirely.
Its a battle between the OG fans and the remake. I never heard of silent hill 2 onwards. I played SH1 and was too tired with the back and forth tasks.
1 month ago i learned that there was SH2 and played it. The voice acting except for James was perfect. They had that 90's accent that you can't hear now in the remake. Anyway i loved the VA on the SH2 OG so much that i searched Maria's voice actor. I learned that all of them weren't even professionals. The letter at the end was read by the OG VA actor first try. And she didn't even know what she was getting into. She got so emotional on one part that she stopped a few seconds because she was crying. No wonder the OG Maria felt more real. The remake sounds like she was rushing her lines and trying to make it realistic but forgot to put emotion on it.
OG characters still looking better, especially female, plus I did not know David Duchovny was performing as Angela.
Maria and Mary og voice's is just better
0:00 - James Sunderland
0:57 - Maria
1:47 - Angela Orosco
2:45 - Laura
3:44 - Mary Shepherd-Sunderland
4:35 - Eddie Dombrowski
I prefer the new ones for most of these except Maria. Salome R. Gunnarsdottir did a good job as Mary, but her portrayal of Maria was a bit too reserved when compared to the original. Still good, but it's like she didn't go far enough and is using her "Mary" voice for Maria.
Her mary voice feels more softer in the remake
Honestly the only one I dislike is Angela's. It's not bad, it just misses the mark for me.
I know it’s not true but it’s crazy to me that anyone who played the original especially years ago would think these are an improvement and isn’t just new to the series. Different strokes I guess.
The og James voice legit makes me believe he's a good guy.
Then that's a problem. Because James isn't meant to be a good guy. He's meant to be seen as morally ambiguous.
Nah u missed the point og james sounds normal just like depressed people while remake is too on the nose about his depression@@conorcahill5422
@@conorcahill5422 Anyone who has played OG SH2 know what James had done to Mary; however, when you first start the game, you're not supposed to think there's something up with James - you're just supposed to see him as an average man searching a town for his wife who he believes had died years ago. He only becomes morally ambiguous as the game progresses and you find clues pointing to James' dark actions.
It's a problem if you go into the game and you (as a possible new player) know right off the bat he's done something. Hell, it's the reason why so many people were pissed with the initial teaser - with James shaking/sweating profusely as he looked at himself in the mirror at the very start of the game.
@@conorcahill5422 it was kind of the point to not make you suspect of james in the beginning, it added more shock value once you found out
@@conorcahill5422 It is not. It is what he suppose to sound like. You shouldn't suspect him afterall.
The fever dream like quality during the conversations feels absent in the remake. I do give the team big credit for trying to stay extremely faithful to the source material though. They really tried to do it right, and I appreciate that. I feel like some of the line delivery just misses the mark though. One scene in particular that always gets me worked up, is when James is explaining to Angela, that the person he’s looking for is his dead wife, and he says (I don’t know why I’m looking for her). The delivery of that line and the sadness in his voice was just so powerful, and really hits you in the gut. So many of the small emotional moments are slightly less impactful in the remake. It’s okay though, because I never expected them to perfectly replicate it. Silent Hill 2 is a very special case where it’s hard to replicate the original intention behind those scenes.
Yeah, I guess what remake has issue is was overall game directions and voice acting direction. When OG has this paranoid nightmare like atmosphere, remake's feels more like a bad ream.
2:00 bruh Donna burke did not just sang heavens divide and sins of the father in metal gear? She also voiced angela???
I’m not sure if she sings “you’re not here” on the SH3 soundtrack but she does sing “I want love” too
@@ronnieperez8519Mary Elizabeth McGlynn sang those songs. She also voiced Maria/Mary in the Silent Hill 2 HD collection
She also voiced Claudia in Silent Hill 3
Original cast, no question. New voices don’t even come close.
I didn’t fully appreciate how phenomenal Monica Taylor Horgan’s performance is until this video!
I'm trying to be positive but Maria in the remake just feels... off...
Mary and Maria just ain't it it feels completely forced
Exactly, one of the big things that made the silent hill characters so awesome is how real they felt, james was a broken man that was tired of life and numb, his original voice actor nails that perfectly, he's not some hollywood actor that's pretending to be sad
Agela especially. Maria is also so bad how did they mess up her most important scene twice? She's supposed to sound like two different people at the same time which is what is confusing James.
Eddie is the only character in the remake that I liked. He looks traumatized and deeply disturbed. There's no possible way players won't feel bad about killing him... Original Eddie was rather unforgiving and psychotic with a maniacal laughter.
Yeah eddy was my was the only one who seems an improvement.
Sorry, but OG is my heart, mind, and soul.
The OG va is objectively better. The new James VA tries hard to be melodramatic, but that's entirely NOT the point of James, not even close. The slight campiness and cluelesness of the original James is a fundamental part of the story.
The other VAs in the remake are just bad regardless of what we compare them to.
@@usernameRika Bullshit 👆
The OG voice acting is better but the remake gameplay is wayyyy better
It's not fair to compare the gameplay cause it's a whole new generation @@Brandon-mh3pv
@@Sonofsparda90 Sure it is, I just did
James - OG Va has a special place in my heart. Remake VA is good.
Maria / Mary - OG is many times better.
Angela - I like both, though I lean towards Remake VA.
Laura - Remake VA wins here.
Eddie - Holy! REMAKE VA is sooooo good and surpasses original VA.
A fan of the series is here)
As a fan of the series, who went through all parts of the game inside and out, and who especially liked the 2nd part for its special atmosphere, as such a fan, I will say that the SH2 Remake turned out to be more gloomy and depressing and serious, which is very good, because now both games, i.e. the original and the remake will have the right to life.
The original, to the best of its limited technology, created a unique effect, just as the first part of the game did. Like the famous fog in SH1, which limits the player's visibility, has become the hallmark of the SH, so the inferiority of the PS2 hardware and the limited budget of SH2 have made a little primitive animation and voice acting, sounding like fan dubbing. All this gave rise to the effect that SH2 became somehow, I do not know, mystically cozy or even romantic, as if the author of the game realized his fantasy in a creaky but cozy place.
The remake, on the contrary, demonstrated serious work on the mistakes of the original, bringing everything to a serious level of quality. The characters have become more realistic, by their appearance we can say that they are victims of circumstances, and their voice acting and reaction to events are very plausible, as if the actors of the sound worked according to Stanislavsky - literally got used to their roles.
In the original, the musical ambient was everywhere, creating some kind of psychedelic atmosphere of the attractiveness of the place (at least for me), in the remake, the entire ambient is positioned so that it focuses the player's attention on a particular place, creating tension and an oppressive atmosphere.
In general, the remake turned out to be very good! Let's hope that now we will see remakes of new parts 😋
Nah OG voices all the way for me, their delivery lines are way more better, sharper and shows way more emotional weight compare to the new ones
Also Monica Taylor Horgan will always and will be the one true only voice of Maria/Mary, she understood the assignment right away of what Maria and Mary were suppose to be
New Maria VA Salome Gunnarsdottir on the other hand (no disrespect to her or anything) but her voice and her deliveries just really lacks punch sadly, it just doesn't have that same impact and emotion unfortunately 😕
I truly agree, Maria/Mary's voice actor in the remake lacks emotion delivering her lines she doesn't have that soft spoken seductive voice that the OG had. Also the letter that Mary reads at the end of the game sound really dull compared to original
the new ones its like a phony act
@@marco1601it’s the opposite
Angela does not look like her actress. She looks like Agent Fox Mulder, FBIIIIII
she looks like she has mumps
James looks like a Chad in the OG. In the remake he looks like he's gonna cry any moment now
Why does Maria sound so bored and flat?
The original maria is just wow!
I believe that if you cut up the individual lines like this just to highlight them that the originals really hold their own.
But in conversation the remake dubs really stand out. The nuances in breathing, cadence, all just dramatically improved in my opinion.
And Eddie - much improved as well.
A think everyone improved except maria. The new actress is just way to subtle and boring.
now add to this a fact, that in OG actors didn't record their lines together. They made the scenes, and later on they recorder their lines, that's why it just has this "Lynchian-like" style of delivery. Imagine how much better it could be if the v/a were recorded the way it's done today, if they were able to react to each other acting.
Angela is only 19 so I prefer her new voice. Her original voice is good but she sounds older and not like a depressed young woman who’s battling her fears.
I agree. That's why I like her new appearance as well. In the OG, I thought she was closer to James age. I was shocked when I found out how young she was.
uhm, no
@@_Gilles_ emphasis on the “I prefer”
TBH that was the point with her characters - to show how years of trauma, psychological and physical abuse took it's toll on her and changed her.
If you watch the the making of silent hill they specifically chose to make her seem older than she actually is. They wanted her character to make you uncomfortable in that way.
Sounding depressed isn't the point. She's unstable and dangerous she's like a bomb that could go off at any time but you don't know when.
I prefer the original Angela and Mary/Maria performances but everything else is big improvement The biggest difference in the whole game for me is the Mary hallway and ending letter scenes. The original still makes me teary eyed every time I see them.
Luke has a deeper cadence to his voice with slight octave jumps, Guy sounds very nasely constantly.
The deeper voice conveys a inner sadness better, imo.
Also I love Angela’s new voice, it has a tomboy-raspy tone that I think fits the character better given her trauma
I like cihi's voice better personally because he sounds numb, it just sounds so good and fitting and perfect
Hes not supposed to be sad but unhinged and in denial
Remake James sound really deep, Mature and depressed
Unlike og James who always look confused and have no idea what he's doing
But guess what
Og James is the original James
And remake James was a clone😂
Well, he should look confused and not know what he's doing because of what's happened to him.
@@Takeshi470 I think that is what make the og James feel special
Og James is so classic
THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT
Do you...know what clone means?
@@redhood8798 he is referencing the remake ufo ending haha
The original had this strangeness to it, almost dreamlike you was always questioning what's real and ehat not. The new ones seemed like they are trying a little to hard to give a realistic performance and it doesn't hit the same
Now let's hope a hero without cape appears with a mod restoring the OG voices into the remake, with the option to toggle character voices individually :v
The original is way better. The remake voices are so overly dramatic and forced to sound "realistic" (as it is common with the remake trend lately). But the original SH2 sounded way more natural and not dramatic, so more realistic and eerie. Especially James and Mary/Maria sounded so impossibly realistic and natural in delivery and tone.
Og: David Lynch
Remake: Modern Hollywood.
I think the remake is more consistent, the original can be borderline goofy sometimes, but on the other hand, the original reaches higher highs, when things get emotional they REALLY get fucking emotional alright.
Also, certain parts of the og voice acting wasn't just voice acting, it was real, if you know you know.
the originals just way better emotion behind the voice acting, which was really apparent with Angela
As a person who doesn't really know about silent hill this comment section is scary 😰
As an og fan the comment section is top tier phycological horror!
They won't admit they were wrong and are willing to find any excuses to justify their legendary toxicity.
@@theredbutterfly-nah we weren't really wrong
@@anomitas yes, you were.
@theredbutterfly- nope but its ok to be wrong!
I hope they get a great actress for Heather if they do Silent Hill 3 as well ... She was so believable as a character... Asking all the questions we would ask and just as confused
I didn't knew Donna Burke voiced Angela in the original.. nobody really talks about her voice acting career
I remember seeing an interview with Guy Cihi where he commented that the original actress for Mary/Maria was a beautiful woman. Dude wasn’t kidding.
This is the one thing they didn't get right in the remake the original maria mugs the new one in fact in my opinion they should have call the original actress. She was just so good.
Almost finished playing the remake.
James has grown on me and I appreciate the little nuances they gave to his dialogue and his facial expressions.
Angela is rough, sounds very monotone and not very convincing when trying to sound distressed.
Laura is almost as good as the original, still sounds like a kinda bratty kid but who's genuinely innocent.
Eddie was a very strong interpretation, in some ways better than the original, he always seemed like the most campy performer but now is quite intimidating.
Maria... The original, no question. The perfect blend of mystery and flirtation with the occassional outburst of resentment and anger. The remake version sounds fine in dialogue but very underwhelming in emotional scenes.
I like the original voice actors, the originals sound so numb, broken and tired, perfect, the new ones sound like their trying to hard
I'm in the camp Of the old voice acting Like the old voice acting Because it's not really acting at all You're doing your best sound as natural as possible And the old voice acting The first director wanted it that way In the original silent Hill He wanted it to sound natural So that's where the original voice acting Sounds the way it does But in the remake It is just acting And I think Fans Tell that I know I could
I love the OG James and Mary voice
I understand that many in the comments are have big nostalgia bait for the original, but do people really think that the original had super good acting? Because, to me, some of the actors' lines in the remake sound more convincing than the original.
It isn't just nostalgia. It is hard to convey a "David Lynch" inspired style to people who are unfamiliar, but the original VA direction was designed to be surreal and dreamlike. It wasn't meant to be like more conventional voice acting; give or take James and Maria's scenes which have the most coherent feel. The "HD Collection" showed how a more traditional style doesn't properly fit that world. Silent Hill 2 Remake strikes a well rounded sense of surrealism and cinematic quality, but that is also bolstered by the world being reworked from the ground up; so creative liberties could be taken.
I'll always love the original and it is hard to beat those voices for what Team Silent wanted to make. The original cast delivered on having normal people experience and navigate a nightmare brought to life. I've grown to also love the vision and delivery of the new cast as well, give or take some scenes that could have been more refinement in the delivery.
Regardless of its quality, the original suited the uncanny dialogue the creators were going for. People will understand this, but won't care. Such is the fate of art that's true to itself, regardless of how others perceive it.
It’s okay to be new to the series
That was the point though. No professionals for the David Lynch effect. It was on purpose.
It is a well known fact, too.
Convincing isn’t the goal. The goal is to be lost and dreamy.
When you take on the task of remaking an iconic masterpiece, you'd better expect criticism. IMO, the original doesn't need replacing and I would have much preferred a one to one remaster, like what Konami are doing with Metal Gear Solid 3. Silent Hill 1 would have benefited from a remake more, its a classic but its age really shows now.
The original voices. Always in my heart. Best.
But the remake voices are better than the HD edition
I'm looking forward to a mod that replaces the new voices with the original voices. It should be an option in the game. Unfortunately Bloober/Konami didn't learn the lesson from the HD collection release in 2012. Clearly the remakes voice acting will polarize opinion in the same way. A shame really.
Thanks for that side to side comparison. It just shows how voice direction in remake made deliveries flat, lacking something. To be honest I like how much Eddie was improved, Laura is bearable, but I just can't stand James and especially Maria and Angela. James supposed to feel.. off, like mentally distanced due to his suppressed guilt and it was done on purpose for the final reveal. He was so obsessed with Mary that he just didn't care about anything, nor anyone. When he meets Eddie, it's clear that something off is wrong with him, yet James seems to don't see it, he almost leave Maria behind and his reaction to see her again is mistaking her - again - for Mary and being disappointed it's her ("Oh. it's You, Maria. Anyway I'm [...]" - sells it all). On the other hand while in original Maria is just going back and forth 180' from being cold, manipulative, seductive to this kind, caring, empathetic Mary impressions, in remake she seems to be more emotionless, machine-like, less expressive. Angela had this often has this outburst of anger, irritation, desperation, but when she goes from being emotionally disconnected, depressed to angry - it's fluent. In remake her outburst are - to some degree - like laughable, at least to me. At one moment she is mentally broken, and seconds after she turns into "boss girl". Is voice acting bad? No, it's definitely better than HD collection, but next to OG it feels lackluster and I'd say it's not actors faul, it's voice acting direction issue.
New angela looks like a penguin lol
I like remake voices ❤.amazing job
Voice acting sounds good in remake in general.
The only thing, female characters....how do I put it....sounds too...I don't know, movie-like. The point is, original female VAs sound more...mmm...specific I guess, new one sounds like any female in any other movie you can watch nowadays. And Maria....she really sounds like a boss while she's supposed to be teasing and playful like the original.
They really improved all characters even Maria. She wasn’t directed properly when she meets James in hospital basement and he says anyways, then she proceeded to go off on him. I feel like the new VA could have pulled it off well if she was directed properly. The original Maria being angry was very believable and Mary crying reading the letter at the end was perfect. You should of used those example
They didn't "improve" anything. They made their own game on their own version. A retcon with new voice actors and dialogues.
The correct words you're supposed to say is "made better than original".
Because this is a remake, not a remaster.
"Improved" word don't even make sense.
@@xXSilentAgent47Xx improved quality. I never said they improved the character traits. But you’re right I can see how people can take it the wrong way! All happy vibes here ☺️
Improved as what? This new ugli angela sounded like some bored teenager reading her script haha. James's nasally voice tone making him too annoying in remake 2.
@@Xammie98 Quality of what?
@@SpookyDollhouse quality of the textures and models. Say what u want about the acting etc but you have to admit these are great and blooper deserves praise for that
Remake actors overembellish emotions like almost all modern actors/voice actors In both film and gaming and It often sounds corny and unbelievable to me, like they're trying too hard to convince you and being too typically generic about situations , Instead of truly raw , odd , and Interesting with their behavior. Modern acting In general is so boring and hipsterishly fake (imo). SH2 remake VA was serviceable In some performances but still easily Inferior to the original.
Yep 👍
Exactly. It's very surface level. There is not a lot of dynamic in the tone of the characters in the remake. Sure, they articulate and pause to create a dramatic feel and cry but there is a lack of feeling coming from them.
I really don’t get it. It’s the og’s that sound unnatural and forced. It’s very gamey, reminiscent of the early 2000’s. It doesn’t sound anything like how real people talk. The remake sounds more natural to me. Unless I’m completely missing the point, in which case no one seems to be able to explain.
@Kaori246 it's not supposed to be natural
Monica as Maria/Mary dont have comparison , the og cast is awsome
I think we can all agree that these are so much better than the HD collection redubs. It has big named voice actors but somehow sounds awful in near every line.

Gianna Kiehl did an incredible job!
She got so much hate and she didn’t deserve it. She captured Angela’s fear so well
I would prefer it if they just reused lines from the original
Why the remake character jaws and cheeks are all bloated in some way
Blooper team got "help" from a "consulting company" to great a "safe" experience for the "modern audience".
It could have been worse, butit could have been sooo much better.
Because of DEI. This game hired a consultant company called Hit Detection. They are a discounted version of Sweet Baby Inc.

Absolutely not, new VA’s did fantastic and surpassed the original
It’s kind of Ironic how the original Voice Acting is much better in the Original rather than the remake despite the remake using professional voice actors while in the original the voice actors were people who had minimal experience in voice acting and weren’t even voice actors.
What made the original voice acting so great was that Team silent chose people who they thought mirrored the characters they wanted to portray.
um... what'd they do to Eddy's game model?!
OG still better
Both❤
100%
no
For my personal preference
James - Both of them are pretty good, though OG appearance can be more deceiving
Maria/Mary : OG by a mile, it's just too hard to beat OG VA for this one
Angela : OG as well, while I not say OG VA casting is perfect, however Remake VA deliverance is just too bland, especially her last scene in the game
Eddie : This one I have to say Remake is better, his characterization deliverance is so perfect for how dangerous he is and send a chill into my spine
Laura : Both are them are fine, but I think OG is acting more like a weird little brat and Remake one seem more like normal kid
They sound similar and that's great. Laura sounds less annoying which I'm not sure I like haha.
Laura is much better in this remake. Sounds like a real brat, just like she is 😂
Maria, on the other hand, I prefer not to talk about...
As an artist I can tell they purposefully made the Maria and Angela's heads a a bit bigger especially Maria making it disproportionate
damn salome gunnarsdottir is striking, protect nordic genes at all costs
Wtf
I'm not blinded by nostalgia but OG VAs are way better than the remake. Anyone who says otherwise is biased to the remake.
You can clearly feel the emotions from the OG dialogues than the remake.
You're blinded by nostalgia and are biased.
Exactly but people attack me whenever I say so even though I played the OG before they were even born.
is it just me but the remake's music, you hardly can hear it.
Remake Angela's actress was pretty solid on her part. She delivered what a traumatized teenager in Silent Hill 2 could do.
I like both of the games
Here we go look with the Michael does live takes clown alert
all new are great except for angela, is not a bad job the new voice at all, but the old one, that actress somehow knew how to play a sexualy abused woman very close to reality
Yeah but she made her sound 30-40 when she is just 19
All except you, New Maria.
James is so handsome
Man they dropped the ball on Angela :(
Maria ehh the OG sounds better, Angela is a tough choice for me I like them booth, Mary the remake is better.
Ive been playing the remake and its been one of the best games to come out this year I think. But as much as I enjoy it, it doesnt feel like sh2. The og had this feel to it, its so hard to explain. But im reakky happy with what we got. Definetely going to replay it countless times.
Original Maria all the way.
The only one i don't like is the new maria, dialogues changed not to be "controversial", was supposed to sound provocative, now sounds soulless, and i believe that the Hit Detection involvemnt are these maria changes, really making me not want to buy it, but i will see
They were all great, both original voice actors and new ones
Haha og2 has more sharp voice tones and sharp line deliveries. Remake 2's ones eating their lines haha. Especially new ugli angela sounded like some bored teenager reading her script with no acting and james's nasal voice tone reading his script trying too much with no sharp line delivery haha. Even though og2 actors never even professional ones but they did deliver their lines sharply also have better voice tones than remake 2's.
I said I think the OG VA did a better job and had more emotion. And was told to go touch some grass and also the F word. People now days can handle a lil dif opinion lol.
I loved silent hill for a long long time. And you can’t beat the OGs but this newer version of the Voice acting is so damn good. I finally got to the prison and i absolutely detest eddy. The old version of eddy. I could never take seriously but the voice and lines and personality that shows thru the remake version. I got chills at how demented Eddy sounded and then immediately disgusted when he tried teasing James at the end. I’m gonna love that boss fight cause never have I hated a character more in a game in a long time.
God the new ones sound sooo flat. Wth were they thinking
I thought they sounded fine. Yes there were some parts that could’ve been done just slightly better but overall it didn’t ruin the experience for me.
I like that Maria has more dialogue and reacts to what the player does and makes her feel more like an actual character and not just an NPC we have to drag with us.
I am so sick and tired of people throwing tantrums and hissy fits because the remake is not 100% what they wanted. Can’t you just at least enjoy that Bloober team still managed to pull it off pretty well? If not, that’s your problem, I’m going to enjoy the game because I find it fun so far…
New voice actors try to show how much "professionals" they are, that's why we have this overacting situation with them. Instead of understanding the inner world of the characters they play and thus develop the subtlety in their voice acting, they just choose to take the audience by raw emotions... But this approach doesn't work here at all and moreover feels absolutely cheap.
@@nikitagaripov8563 They sound normal. You guys really need to stop with this pretentious criticism, it's starting to get really cringe.
Maybe they were tired, theyre just human you know, maybe they wanted to go home and watch netlfix!!!
@@norijean3279 sounds logical)))
What's going on in this comment section? If you don't like the new dub, that's okay, but don't trash it with lame excuses like 'the new voices are overacting' when they clearly nailed it. It's just the usual toxic fandom nonsense. Hopefully, all the hate won't kill our chances of getting another Silent Hill.
angela grew abit on me but she stil looks abit strange for a woman and considering DEI has worked on this game they might have something to do with it.
Why is the dubbing of a 2001 game better than the remake???
Except its not
Exactly
Nostalgia power
it had more real emotion imho, except for Eddie
@@amaterashort it's not nostalgia, I replayed it when I saw how garbage the last trailer was. Now it's just a cheap copy of RE, they tell me it's RE9 or a spin off and I believe it. "let's give Leon's hairstyle to James, no one will notice" LMAO
everyone bitching about maria/mary's voice. bruh. listen to Angela. majority of the time it sounds bad. the crying scene was good but her normal talking voice is so bland.
I like the new cast❤
Remake Voice actors sound fake and almost sometimes forget their lines when i hear them talk as they stubble over their words at parts of the game then as if they improve words as they go along.
Boy, you're everywhere to point out the negatives of the remake, you're really pathetic
Remake voices sound so much better , stop lying
Your brain is fake loser
Yup Remake actors overembellish emotions like almost all modern actors/voice actors and It sounds corny like they're trying too hard to convince you and being too typically generic about situations , Instead of truly raw , odd , and Interesting with their behavior. Modern acting is so boring and hipsterishly fake (imo)
There's no comparison - OG voice cast is better, hands down. You can tell how their respective characters are feeling at any given moment.
The new voice cast all sound so dull/lifeless, and inexplicably rush through their lines a times.
Remake sounds horrendous.
Eddie was ok.
It doesn't. It's great
Yeah I prefer the new voices, the old ones kinda pulled me out of the story because they were a bit ridiculous, but the new ones flow.
