I like them both
Same, both look good
>we MUST add rain
>even if the original had symbolic rain only at the end of the game
yeah the old one looks better
>symbolic rain
the rain depicting James' realisation of what he's done and how sorrowful the final encounter with Maria/Mary is, yeah
It's called pathetic fallacy anon, it's a technique to have weather match the mood of the hero or whatever
don't ya see the water puddles in the original?
No, there's no rain nor puddles in OG.
it's dirty concrete, not water
that's called a lake, anon
but muh shiny concrete
Both look good.
>symbolic rain
Lmao. I'm a nostalgia gay too and we really are moronic sometimes.
>the only time in the game there's rain
>probably doesn't mean anything
you're the only one moronic here
Look out, anon! The evil remake is right behind you and it's gonna EAT YOUUUUUUUUU
there is a 0% chance you don't look like this
got any more reddit pics saved on your pc to just specifically show how much you despise it?

>moron that dosen't understand fog rises after rainfall
>i-it must be realistic because silent hill isn't a supernatural town at all okay??
shut the frick up zoomie
It's a symbolic fog so it's ok.
Zoomers are fricking brain dead.
fog in Silent Hill got nothing to do with the climate you absolute double Black person
Yes the fog is actually console draw distance limitations.
NTA but fog is perfectly capable of forming without rain, you just clearly don't live in the right climate for it and believe this is applicable to the rest of the world.
the fog rises from the lake
actual moron doesn't know how the water cycle works kek
BUT THERE ISN'T ANY RAIN! WHAT THE FRICK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! IT'S JUST THE GROUND THAT'S WET!!!! FOG CAN DO THAT!
I HATE YOU moronic NOSTALGIA Black folk SO MUCH!!!
Did you accidently take a picture of yourself while making that post?
Nah I just love that little guy. Look at his face. He's fricking awesome.
0iq moment
Top is better because you can see the lake.
This is the only thing, the art direction is better in the old game, but I guess it could be a sweeping shot cut at the wrong point.
This and perhaps the design in general, where the trees look uncanny dead-but-living, there's more lived-in or abused decay on the building, even his car door being open is evocative.
The new looks great, though
It unironically does though
This. Those copy pasted trees and clean pavement add so much soul to the game.
It’s not even boomers, it’s Kuckjima fanboys still malding.
literally does.
incorrect
moron
The new one does objectively look better.
But "looking good" is the last thing on my list of important for a Silent Hill game.
>The new one does objectively look better.
It does not. Objectively the older one has better style and the scene has better atmosphere. New one reminds me of those HIRE THIS MAN memes.
sovl vs soulless.
yes the top has more small details that add to the game while bottom just looks like last of us 2. Realismgays wouldn't understand.
Soul.
Soulless.
Top is from the infamous HD collection and subhumans will fall for that
>Top is from the infamous HD collection
I wish
I knew this remake will be shit the moment I saw Maria's death and the way James reacted to it.
how will remake massacre them?
remove any trace of sexiness and make them completely bland as well as cover them up with clothing because sexy nurses are misogynist or something
They already got shown moron
okay they genuinely look bad
why do they look even bawdtier
because japs like T&A and don't care about feminists
This is made by slavs
Still, poles are not westerners so it's ok
>eu country
>not western
top cope
>east of the iron curtain
>not eastern
just stop it my dude, western SH started the whole super bawd nurses, stop stating moronic made up facts...
They were always meant to look loose for story purposes, but they overdid it to a point where I'm just gonna have to jerk off every time they're on screen.
Because Europeans and Japanese aren't moronic Puritan prudes.
I look forward to the porn
imagine the gall to try and claim that the remake looks better holy shit
To be fair, the inferior monster designs are only visible in screenshots on the steam page. People who merely watched the trailer wouldn't know.
good morning i hate blooper team and i hate pooland

>top: a broken man
Black person, are you for real? Most shots from the game depict James as an autistic moron. He's got one of the most lifeless faces in vidya.
Im for real as frick homie
and although James is an autistic moron. He still looks like a broken man and not a homosexual my chemical romance fan. This demake is a tom hulet wet dream
>a homosexual my chemical romance fan
remake James doesn't look like an edgy 14yo
Yeah he looks worse come to think of it
Whatever you say, tortanic Black
>remake James doesn't look like an edgy 14yo
Yeah, thanks for proving my point.
this homie looking through the noose is about to cry something fierce holy shit someone get humelltt away from the franchise already
total homosexual
james in the original is a legit apathetic psychopath. hes weird because you cant relate to a person like that.
Agreed, that's why I said the other dude is full of shit.
Hes in constant denial. Hes the person that comes back from their loved ones funeral, and then few hours later gets worried that the deceased isn't home yet and must have got stuck in the traffic or worse.
James is mournful and distant, but keeps the facade that everything is normal. What he is doing is normal. Whats happening around him is normal, but he still reacts to it as a normal person would. He walks up to a dead body, reacts to it like a normal person, and then goes back looking for Mary.
>Hes the person that comes back from their loved ones funeral, and then few hours later gets worried that the deceased isn't home yet and must have got stuck in the traffic or worse.
Exactly, he is supposed to be a widow guy that gets surprised by a letter from his dead wife that died years ago.
Then you start to notice his fake niceness and weird way of talking, he becomes sincere after watching the tape in the hotel and you realize he actually despised Mary and wanted to get rid of her
Fricking porn addicts whose intelligence has been destroyed, Silent Hill is a realistic series. The skin tight white leggings were realistic hotness, the new stuff just looks cartoonish.
>Silent Hill is a realistic series. The skin tight white leggings were realistic hotness
Right. I must've missed all the nurses in miniskirts and their breasts out last time I was in a hospital.
You dumb secondary
>I must've missed all the nurses in miniskirts and their breasts out last time I was in a hospital.
this is a sign you live in a third world country
What, acquisition of clothes that fit is third world?
They knew exactly what they were doing with the zombie nurses, and no it ain't realism you dumb shit
The nurses are meant to be a mixture of his discomfort with mary's medical condition and his sexual repression. This is just horniness.
>This is just horniness.
Yes, James'. Glad we agree.
This
moron.
what are you, gay?
lmao, what a fruit
Contrary to popular belief, being gay isn't a healthy lifestyle, anon
the nurses are a manifestation of James' hornyness
the replies to your post are why they did, to get 85 IQ semenbrains to open their wallets.
Man, frick whatever this studio is going to shit out, but there's gonna be a hundred VR animations using this model when the game comes out. I'm ready for it.
LOL
Imagine being this
moron.
>Identical faces and models
Kinda disappointing. You would imagine they would make at least a couple of different models of the same enemies, especially when they're supposed to look deformed.
This way, it's like they came off an assembly line.
It's excusable in a game with lower fidelity, but not so much if you're making some AAA hyper realistic looking game that takes modern hardware to run.
It also betrays a lack of attention to detail.
They went from a creature trying to appear human until you see their face to someone just wearing a big mask with some blood on them here and there and added garterbelts for whatever reason lol
You kind of have a point. It looks more like a "gamer girl" cosplaying as a nurse overplaying the sexiness rather than a creature in Silent Hill.
>Ganker complaining they are too sexy now
You homies gay.
They don't look as sickly which is disappointing, hoping it's a WIP. Also hope they keep the weirder details on them like how some have a red square on their face or later ones have tumors and more distorted heads.
There's a lot of cool concept art Ito did too of them that never made it in, would be nice to see those able to be incorporated.
It's a graphical error in a model viewer
Jesus, way to remove any nuance.
God imagine how they are going to frick the abstract daddy.
Why do they look like cosplay thots?
While I enjoy that they are sexier now which will give us a lot of r34, they just look like cosplayers in the remake. No rotten skin or anything.
The same way they siphoned all the soul from pyramid head.
>grey rotting skin
>healthy skin
What the frick!?!?
Wait until you see these guys. Looks like a guy in cosplay.
>old one look like dude in body bag or walking tumor
>new one looks like some frick in gimp suit
>also thicc legs for some reason
Thicc legs because it's supposed to be a woman idiot
It's supposed to be subtle.
An emaciated, sick woman.
>it's supposed to be a woman idiot
not scary then
imminent mating press
and i think this woman looks pretty smart
Why do you think Pyramid Head raped them?
pyramidhead raped mannequins
nothing actually happens in that scene
I'm not remember mannequins have such jucy asses.
>new one looks like some frick in gimp suit
That mixed with the stockings on the nurses make me think that the dev team took the sexual frustration meme literally.
Sterile.
silly garbage man from Yakuza
Wow, what the actual frick is this? I knew I would go into this being overly-critical but this is actual fricking garbage.
Lying Figure looks fricking weird. Are these white shoelaces inside him?
I always saw them as a gimp in flesh latex straightjacket.
Tomm, you don't make Silent Hill games any more. It's over.
Who is Tom?
>That hint of a bush
STICKY FINGERS!

This look like a glass.
This look like a condom covered in lubricant. I think Ito also mentioned this in his tweets someday.

>complaining nurse are sexy
ESL? is literacy not your strong suit? imagine being a tourist and whining about tourists
no more cleavage
I can't tell from that screenshot, but recently merch of the nurse features this black square on the mouth. What this black square is actually from the nurse's model from the original game. The black parts are suppose to be invisible, and appear broken in a model viewer.
Here's how it looks in game
I can't believe I'm saying this... but I wouldn't.
they forgot the skin bangs too
Not sure if they're there or not. But yeah they definitely should be more parted from the head. Goodsmile has made a nurse Figma before, and they got the mouth right. I think someone at Konami is making the mistakes.
>I think someone at Konami is making the mistakes.
I wonder if the remake will include the hidden baby face on the nurses face.
What the actual frick, I didn't know about this
Bottom looks like every other modern game
>LOOK HOW SHINY IT IS! WOAW!
OP you realise for 99% of the game you won't be seeing cool shots like that in the remake because it's OTS?
They need to dirty it up more. Shit looks too clean.
Imagine comparing the dog shit remake with the garbage HD collection.
90% of this thread are zoomer morons pretending that they played the original game.
This just made me realize that you basically never see handicapped people in public in Japan. They probably fricking euthanise people with down syndrome over there.
They just hide disabled relatives here. It’s an embarrassment for them.
>They probably fricking euthanise people with down syndrome over there.
what's wrong with that?
You might get killed, anon
she looks like a Fortnite StW, Ninja class character.
She cute
I prefer the colour gradation in the top one because it's more towards the grey-blue than the green, but bottom looks good to me too.
the only thing i care about is new wave of nurse porn and rule 63 monsters
I am a dev and I'm dedicated to making nothing but troony porn in games just to spite this place
which version should i play, if i want to right now?
Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition on PC. Otherwise the OG PS2 game.
people reccomend that pc version but I've only played my PS2 copy so I can't comment but heres the guide for it
This is pretty outdated. For SH2 Enhanced Edition these days you just run the .exe, point it to the game directory and it automatically downloads and installs everything you need for you.
PC versions for the widescreen mods. SH3 PC port is also very good overall. SH4 might be easier to emulate, getting the PC version to work without shitty resolution or weird slow-down issues requires a bit of work.
Damn, bottom looks cozy. I want to to just hang in that area for hours.
>how do we make the graphics look good?
>idk just make the floor wet
why the frick do people do this? brazillians making "REAL LIFE GTA SA?!" mods do the fricking same thing just make the entire road look like its the aftermath of a flood
not sure if anyone noticed but it'll have a Japanese dub which a first for the series.

Beats the zoomers who will actually believe the new game IS better, just because it has better graphics
Better gameplay and sound effects too, gameplay in the original is disgusting
Not original
bottom looks like another RE, so i guess zoomers and blacked.com audience will love it.
why is she crying?
why is he so greasy/oily
me in the back
What's the name of the guy?
i will say the angle of the lake is so completely different that it's effectively not the same scene anymore. In the remake you could just imagine there's an identical gas station further down the hill that has the same scene as the original.
>nitpicking every single minor detail like a b***hy mother in law
It's almost like you guys WANT the remake to be bad
I mean yeah of course they do they want to spam the board for a bit and then forget the game ever existed the next week
TORtanic posting is a Ganker tradition
nope, looks really nice
Just some things in the trailer are really of
>top normal guy

top: a broken man
bottom: an emo gay on the brink of tears
Meh not into it. I played it back in 2001. REmake2 wasn't as good as RE2 OG. This will be no different. Save your money for new shit like Calisto proto swag
>REmake 2 wasn’t as good
It was a masterpiece and surpassed the original. Opinion discarded.
>Cutting out enemy types and the way the main gimmick of disc A and B worked is "surpassing" the original
Okay. I guess all we need to do in modern gaming is solely improve graphics and cut out actual gameplay content
Looks nothing like him.
Why are nu-James's eyes so small and chinky bros
Are you gonna find foking Marry or what m8?
I can't be the only one thinking nu-James kinda looks like Fungo, right?
frick man
what are these lads thinking about this
do they even care at this point or are they retired
dunno man, hoping for a 5 part analysis of the remake and f.
he looks like a 45 year old Pewdiepie
bottom is better
top is better
I fricking hate how nujames looks like he's constantly on the verge of tears, he's supposed to be a broken husk of a man
Imagine making the game and you didn't even know this easter egg
what easter egg?
People (only very recently as far as I know) figured out James is looking at (You) in the opening scene, not himself.
That's just bad boomer graphics.
The way you chuds look over ever single pixel looking for "meaning" is moronic.
That's why you all cry about the obviously superior remake, because it'll never match up with whatever specific head canon you've invented.
The devs can't read your mind and nobody has time to create "meaning" in every detail when making a game.
You're literally attributing "meaning" out of nothing and if anything matches up with your headcanon it's just coincidence fr
>The devs can't read your mind
They could at least watch the making of silent hill 2 video to know what the creators intended but from what I've seen they haven't done that.
didn't a dev say that he doesn't and it just looks like he's looking at the player because of his hair?
HYPOCRITE THAT YOU ARE
Pissed me off too
>change toilet house just so James can slam open the door in the cutscene
garbage
top: soulless
bottom: SOVL
I bet that they are going to pull it off enviroment-wise. I just fricking hate how flimsy they made James look. He is too thin, his face is too narrow. He was stocky and had strong features in OG game. Also, give back his leather shoes!!!
Nope. James’ more haunting and gaunt look suits him 100 times better. They nailed the aesthetic. Both for the characters and the environments. Fingers crossed the gameplay is just as good.
>Bloober
I am not going to be remotely shocked if the original is still the superior game.
I'm a boomer, yet I played neither.
The bottom one has a higher fidelity, that's for sure.
The tops of trees look horrible on a top one.
Other than that, the scene composition is different.
The lake is barely present on a bottom one and there are a lot more trees.
Also the clouds.
Also also the character is positioned almost in a centre on a bottom one.
All in all, I would say that they are going for a different vibe and I would've liked the upper one better if not for the mangled trees.
also the public shitters are placed diffrently so it doesn't creep you out in the bottom pic in contrast two top pic when you look at the darkness
>comparing some garbage remake with one of the horror classics of gaming.
commit seppuku immediately.
When did it switch to otherworld for James? When he was sitting in his car after driving to Silent Hill and he lost his mind?
looks like an unreal asset flip
poles are doing it, why the frick would you expect it to be good
t. pole
Top one looks like silent hill, bottom one looks like a gloomy day in a normal town, western shit dev not even once.
I don't need to pretend.
>want to play silent hill
>should i play silent hill
>or some brain dead slavs idea of what he thinks silent hill should be like
I genuinely don't get the appeal of remakes unless you are the most surface level moron whose logic stops at "its on my new console = its a better game now"
The appeal of remakes is being able to brag on social network and with your friends that you played a cult game without actually playing said game, and then shit on the original because it doesn't cater to you.
Now compare James
Make way Sarah and Sherry, here comes a new challenger
Sorry but e-girls are a nono in western games
Where there's Blender there's a way
Bottom one looks soulless and made out of premade assets.
This is the new strand type of game? Japan, I will now eat your rice.
>pretend
Bloobergay kys
I hope they gave Angela a cute face haha
I wish I wasn't attracted to broken girls
so remake decided to be even more sexy than original sh2????????.......
>The toilet is changed
Why?
They can just copy it and they decides to somehow change the toilet... because?
>car door not opened
Another Why?
I fricking hate remakes that just change things for the sake of changing.
>>car door not opened
>Another Why?
Because looking at a lake from a vantage point doesn't warrant not locking your car doors.
You think the original artist's intention would just be leaving the door opened without a reason?
Frick me, you morons don't even understand subtle messages.
There's nothing subtle about having your car stolen over a dump.
Stop huffing your own farts.
He doesn't give a frick about the car anymore because he is choosing to live in his delusion instead of reality, you dumb frick
>headcanon
>using the word 'headcanon'
tumblrtrannies are not welcome here
what's your headcanon? that the modeler left the door open by mistake and the scene went through ten different people in the studio who didnt realize to point out they forgot to close the car door?
I always thought the leaving the door open was more in line with him being suicidal and not giving a frick about common things like safety or preservation
probably because now they can have an animation when getting the map
>Leaving car door open
Most unrealistic thing about the original tbh
he really needed to shit
>Most unrealistic thing about the original tbh
The door being left open highlights how distraught James is during his breakdown on his way to the town after receiving the letter and how he isn't thinking rationally or taking care of himself. It's important for setting the scene and making you subconsciously start drawing conclusions about the character.
this. you even get the different endings in sh2 based on the amount of self destructive behavior you have, like keeping james at low health instead of max health.
Holy shit you homosexual pretentious teenagers are so annoying. The door was open so you could get the map also the devs were Japanese so they didnt see a problem with leaving your car open in some lonely rural place.
>zoomers think realism with no art direction looks good
i hope they come to their senses and make it open world
Why won't Konami remake Silent Hill 1?
Because SH2 is more popular with the Reddit crowd.
It objectively looks better
how
Are you a zoomer or do you just not have eyes?
"looking better" is subjective, anon.
Artistically butchering something, however, isn't, you fricking zoomer. Although I guess it's pointless arguing with you, since you actually can't see the difference.
whats the artist statement behind a telephone pole in a drain?
NOOOO HE'S NOT STANDING IN THE EXACT SAME SPOOOOT! THIS IS SOULLESS! AAAH HELP ME PACHINKOMAN!!
>original
>16:9
Boomers are mad that zoomers get to experience facelifted versions of their childhoods The remake will be better in every conceivable way and everyone knows this deep inside.
>facelifted
lmao, frick off bloober your game looks like shit
Zoomers don't know what good is, that's the problem. You babies have no reference point to anything. Trash is being catered to zoomers precisely because you're so oblivious and rather consoom some shiny shit instead of enjoying the original classics.
Go to bed Grandpa. And take your boosters.
>facelifted
You don't actually believe this, do you?
Stellar bait. The contrarian morons don't even realize they are praising the dogshit HD collection lmao.
>The contrarian morons don't even realize they are praising the dogshit HD collection lmao.
This, lol.
Someone else ITT was right: it's really 99% of zoomer contrarians trying to fit in by pretending they even played the OG game.
>that dark entrance is spooky
Honestly this is the only change I don't really like in the remake pic.
I played the original but got fooled for a moment but then I thought that there should be more fog. it happens when your last run is not recent. people who played PC version before patches and fixes also had fricked up fog and other issues. even emulated pcsx2 experience isn't perfect in hw mode.
ruined
i hate polish trannies so goddamn much, hurry up and nuke them russia
when I look at top, I visualize the place, imagine being there, and that dark entrance is spooky
when I look at bottom all I see is an rtx meme
Is it true that the default will be an 'over-the-shoulder' type cam instead of fixed angles?
big if true
yeah, look at the footage from the dev studio
the memes have become reality
God I wish. Fixed camera is moronic in 2023
>t. hasn't played SH2
Silent Hill was born because Konami went "frick, capcom is making stacks from this Resident Evil thing. We need our own horror game to compete"
RE2 remake is essentialy the same thing but with RE remakes
I meant SH2 remake
Competition is a very good thing
leaving what another anon said here
I said that and I'm right. Resident Evil might have had fixed camera and tank controls because they had no choice, but Silent Hill has tank controls for a reason. The game uses dynamic camera under the player's control in normal circumstances, and cuts to a static camera angle to indicate quest targets.
Over the shoulder camera does not have tank controls. Your movement based on your input is relative to your camera direction. So, even if they tried to switch camera angles to indicate quest targets, that would just create control confusion because you can't have directional controls in combination with static camera angles. Making the remake OTS is literally breaking Silent Hill game design.
...and you know what happens in a modern game when all avenues of feedback are absent from quest direction? You guessed it. Skyrim arrows. Objective markers.
Yep. I don't know how they expect to get the same impact of set pieces like the stairs or hospital, SH2 utilized fixed camera amazingly well.
*zoomers
it's zoomers who pretend to like old things because e-celebs told them to
boomers who were alive and playing vidya back then now that the new is better
>they moved the fire hydrant
RUINED
the pole's also on top of the drain, wtf is that about
The movie presentation made it apparent that at least the people involved in the movie didn't understand that Silent Hill is a lived tourist town, not abandoned ghost town. The remake is likely not going to understand that either, which is why the acting is so overly dramatic.
>which is why the acting is so overly dramatic
Like in the original?
Go argue with the anons that think James is apathetic psychopath with the most lifeless face in video game history. Seems like you both have ground to hate the remake.
Environments in Remake look ridiculously good. They definitely need to work on character models though. James looks really off. Nothing like original James.
You gays are pretending that SH2 had good gameplay now?
Most "SH fans" haven't played any other survival horror games. Even SH1 has better gameplay than 2 and Resident Evil btfos the entire series.
back then it was decent
dumb frogposter
I have and probably never will play whatever games these are but they both look alright for what they are
This is what it actually looks like.
And yes it looks better, simply more soul.
What shader? Looks nice.
I seriously hope you are joking but at this point I can't tell anything anymore.
Aren't you emulating?
emulating your mom on my wiener
looks like crt royale
lmao
>You see we just swapped every rock for le photogrammetry realism models so now game good
LOOK HOW SHINNY AND REALISTIC IT LOOKS!
It doesn't matter if it looks good. The details are all off, it's not the same game anymore. You see how the fire hydrant and the pole are further apart? The door to the toilet is not to the same side, there are weird parking pillars etc.
If I played a game in my childhood, I want to recapture the same high I experienced back then. Like, when you enter your old room, and the toys, furniture and magazines are in the very same positions as 20+ years ago. Remakes fail to recapture that feeling.
There's soemthing unsettling about the top one that I can't place. And no it's not the blurry jpg of the lake.
why is the fricking car door closed
explain that bloober apologists
more Black folk in 2023

Too much work.

>"fixed" car door being open
>car still parked off space and in a wild angle
microcosm of what this remake will be like. arbitrary "corrections" without any cohesion
>>"fixed" car door being open
I always tought that car door was open because James checked Mary's body for the last time before going totally cuckoo, which is followed by the bathroom scene.
yeah you always thought that i'm sure
shut the frick up with that moronic reddit theory
makes 0 sense if you play the fricking game instead of watching videos about it you fricking homosexual
i've played the game multiple times since its launch on ps2, and leaving the car's door open just adds more to the fact that James doesn't give a shit anymore, total dissociation.
Black person
It works even better of you don't know anything about the game homosexual. James does unhinged stuff all the times but you only get context until you finish the game, then all the weird stuff he does make sense.
The map is also on a Board instead of inside his car
>Good graphics makes the game better somehow
You are everything wrong with braindead gaming fans these days
What a horrible thread.
New one has better technology behind it but artistry is way fricking worse. Horrible modern reflections, repetitive and boring textures. IE old wall has 1000x better texture than the new one
Why is it so hard to do a 1 to 1 remake/remaster Ganker? Even the fricking angle of this image is off which REALLY goes to show just how faithful this is going to be. Sure the textures look better but I'm not a cuck zoomie who watches their favorite e-celeb on Twitch play games, so what does that matter? Keep Silent Hill dead and don't drag it out for some money and a few more shit nu-Silent Hill games before killing it off once more.
That must be about the only shot they have shown where the remake looks like an improvement without strings attached.
bottom one is just a cinematic, the game wont look like this
How can ALL of you guys ve SO fricking entitled?
>jAmEs lOokS wEiRd

YOU HAVENT EVEN PLAYED THE FRICKING GAME. HOW CAN YOU JUDGE A GAME SO HARD EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT EVEN FRICKING OUT? Holy frick just try to be optimistic for once.

The movie WILL BE DIFFERENT. You Will NEVER, EVER find a movie that completely copies the source material because then what's the fricking point of watching it? Why would I wacth a word for word copy when I vould just read about or play the source material?
It's been 10 years since the last game and you somehow found a way to NOT be happy the series is back with FOUR new games.
No, you just have to complain about every single minute detail in every frame.

>Well no fricking shit what did you expect?
I expected him to look like an everyman, as he was before. He never seemed to be quite as rundown as the town itself, despite being a nut.
shut frick
>The movie WILL BE DIFFERENT.
Then why was every storyboard they showed literally just a shot taken straight from the game
The impression they gave off is that the movie is going to be a shot-for-shot remake of SH2
delicious boomer cope ITT
>It's another zoomer thread about graphics being the only thing that matters
Every fricking time.
zoomers grew up playing cinematic experiences can you blame them for being moronic
Yes because they should know the difference between a game and a movie
well maybe their parents should have stopped watching capeshit and taught them something
I'll drink to that
I thought they grew up playing fortnite and minecraft
Silent Hill 1 > Silent Hill 2
Has anyone heard from the Lying Figure youtuber? He was a channer who was autistic about SH series and he made playthroughs with a lot trivia. He has to come back for the remakes, r-right?
must say that the lack of colour is kinda refreshing in this age where everything looks like a cartoon, even the demon's souls remake. they nailed the tone of the original well at least in this scene.
They literally look the same.
Lol no.
Car door is closed in remake whereas the OG has it open.
James takes unneccesary risks like sticking his hands into toilets, holes and leaving his flashlight on near PH.
Did he also stick his fist up your ass?
yes and i enjoyed every second of it
Get your eyes checked, the top one is clearly superior in every way.
looks comfy
That's not the original though.
Its supposed to expose Ganker zoomers for talking out of their ass.
Fire hydrants are supposed to be closer to main streets in order to facilitate it's use when there's a fire, they even fricked that up LMAO
But the graphics tho
We can't let these zoomer filth ruin classics like this.
immersion = ruined
>the fire zone isn't colored red anymore
>the hydrant isn't in the same fricking spot where it should be
AI would do a better job remaking games at this point
New one looks good, definitely not soulless. But old definitely has soul
>handcrafted vs asset flip
gee i wonder why the old one looks better
I only had problem with this one
Not seeing it
Most prime example of soul vs soulless
How is the gameplay in the remake even going to work? The original was mainly a puzzle game. Are they going to make it into a Resident Evil clone?
judging from what we saw in the stream it's going to be a 1:1 adaptation of the gameplay
>judging from what we saw in the stream it's going to be a 1:1 adaptation of the gameplay
what else did they show/say?
Over-the-shoulder third-person-shooter. It's basically gonna be TLOU. Screenshot this post.
that particular shot looks very good, but practically nothing else they showed live up to that. In fact the thing right before that was utter garbage in comparison to the haunting dingy bathroom in the original that James is quietly ruminating in, and the rest of what they showed was equally tonally embarrassing hollywood shit
what's the best way to play it on PC?
Enhanced Edition, it's easy to install and it's the best way to play SH 2
At least the colours are matching, but this studio has literally never made a good game before.
Gamers seem to be very bad at appreciating how games create a specific look and feel with a delicate balance of elements. They can only conceive of things "looking better" by having more realism (or alternatively, "looking retro" by resembling old games for nostalgia reasons). It's such a shallow way of looking at things.
Do people not have eyes. Why dont you just remake what you see, why everything has to be uglier
original used a photo
New looks better, but the original game will still be better overall.
Bottom one is more realistic, but top one is better in terms of establiahing the lake, getting the player to look in the car, and overal being more interesting to look at. Either way, won't be buying this awful remake.
looks like alan wake
looks like your mom is getting fricked tonight
What the frick is up with that completely straight shoreline in the remake?
>Add rain
>Move bin
>Remove grime
>Leave door closed
>Move James and change his pose
I know they're small changes but they were still done deliberately, I just don't understand why. If there's no reason to change it, why change it?
zoomers are always trying to cope, the original always looks better.
>take control of your camera in order to cut to static angles that showcase important quest items and puzzle locations, without any sort of handholding or character commentary to direct the player.
You do realize that this sentence makes no sense right? A camera pointing out your objective IS literal handholding.
No the frick it isn't, its literally framing.
Isn't the top the "HD" remake that fricked up the fog and shit? Funny they would use that comparison shot
moron
Yep. OP did a brilliant job in exposing all the seething morons as zoomer secondaries. They're just trying to fit in.
I havent played the hd remake but if true that just shows how shit the new remake is it makes the hd remaster look like the og in comparison. Really all this does is make me want to play the og sh2 again.
Anyone who thinks the old one looks better is a genuine moron and should be ignored. I for one, am gonna be proudly preordering the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
there's a certain charm about the low resolution video game graphics, but of course the newer one looks better
I love it in fact
still, there's something oh so spooky about those low res graphics and the old, very limited gameplay which cam along with it
tl;dr
sometimes simple is best at conveying a message, but beauty cannot be reasoned with

zoomers buy anyway
Konami's just trying to win good favor with the gamers after they saw genshit impact's profits. They're going to start hitting us with their pachinko bullshit very soon.
>Less colour
>No graffiti and torn flyers on the wall
>No barricade preventing intelligent players from trying to run behind the toilets
This is a disaster. This is the next TORtanic.
>"What IS this place" says James looking around confused
>"Mary, where the FRICK are you?!"
>James picks up a metal pipe, hears static noise on the radio and says "Oh man... He's right behind me, isn't he?"
>"Is that BLOOD!? FRICK FRICK FRICK! WHAT THE HELL?! WHATS GOING ON?! IT CAN'T BE HAPPENING! AHHHH"
>As soon as something slightly emotional happens James starts screaming and crying
> "Ahhhhh... What is this place anyway? It makes no sense! Is this town just a reflection of my psyche? "
>"I don't care what these creatures are... I can just smash them with my GODDAMN PIPE! AARGHHH"

>fight starts, James starts dodging and rolling around then parries the nurse screaming "You're just representing lack of sex in my life! You are not real!"
The game not being very detailed and being low res contributes to the atmosphere. The new game will rely on jumpscare to scare the player instead
Reddit Hill 2 gays got what they deserve lmao
you're reddit gay
The Medium was a good game
NO. NO.
What are your gripes with it?
oh nothing I'm just being a c**t. Really the worst I can say is that it ran horribly, the gimmick got kinda old, and I just couldn't get invested in the story. It's not offensively bad, but I never felt all that impressed with it. I much preferred Song of Horror at the time although some of its puzzles were just irritating.
Bottom doesnt make sense, why would there be kerb blocking the extra cut out road that is then not even used by anything....
hang on guys my mom just brought mcdonalds im gonna go eat real quick brb
The top one is objectively better. The car alone is enough to say it's objectively better. It shows James was distraught enough to leave his car door open and park like a madman, while on the bottom he's parked neatly and standing up straight just relaxing.
For me it’s the bottom
New one looks like shit. Wish remakes would just die already.
You Are Wrong
still going to buy it for PS5 alongside Demon's Souls soulless remake
>Oops, sorry!
>This item is currently unavailable in your region
I could never get past the JPG
Boomer here, silent hill has always sucked.
average redditor poser reaction to thos Gaymake
that's how I imagine the average Gankertard
I don't pretend, I KNOW the old one looks better.
Sorry, I don't play polish remakes. When they eventually start outsourcing remakes to India and china i wont play them either, Third world shitholes aren't sophisticated enough to do this job.
I walked around the lake they used for the photo of Toluca lake lake, it was kino
Is it the same va?
He reminds me of Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller’s Day off). I wonder if that is intentional.
i think its just nostalgia, there's something about PS2 graphics that make me feel at home
The appreciation for older horror games (or most games in general) is a complicated thing that can't be replicated anymore. When you played a horror game like this as a kid, it was just you (maybe some friends/family) sitting alone in a dark room on Saturday night without the constant distraction of smartphones/internet or the cynical perspective of modern day culture. You could get immersed in a way that just isn't possible these days and the experience felt entirely unique to you.
I don't think it's just the graphics. It's that nostalgia of getting to experience something made purely out of artistic passion prior to everything being dependent on analytics and social media. That aspect allowed it to deliver an otherworldly experience with little for you to compare it to while being put together well enough where you didn't concern yourself with who/what was behind the curtain.
Regardless of how good the remake will look, it will be impossible to play it without looking at every change and design choice made because everything about it is purposefully derivative.
Sincerely didn't mean to go on a tangent, but it's just a real bummer what we lost. I'm excited to see this released because remakes are still a great excuse to come back to something you loved, but it will never be able to replicate what the original was.
Music has gotten worse over the years. This is the reason why art looks like shit even if it's technically better.
damn thats fricking kino, is it silent hill?
You homosexuals will literally be mad about everything, convince me that the only reason are mad at this isn't because new thing bad and you love to oppose current thing because it makes you feel special
>gets mad at others being mad
Oof.
god i can't wait to beat and kill women in high definition thanks to silent hill remake part 1
A zoomie that only cares about graphics. Shocker.
>parked like a moron in the original
>remake bends reality and reshapes the world to make him look like less of a moron
impressive
>dying trees in original
>happy trees in remake
Having no door in the original allowed leaves and crap to blow in
I'm fine with them remaking it, but I'm probably not buying the same game twice.
Visually it looks better, but some artistic integrity is lost in the process
yeah gotta love the out of whack scaling in the new one james wont get for in that toy car
There is the fog in remake?
It would look better.
There's not really any fog in that scene in the original. James isn't quite at Silent Hill yet.
Bottom looks fine, great even, but could still use more little details.
The bathroom could look more decrepit. Give it some graffiti and more mildew/mold stains along with some rust stains near the roofing. Maybe have some old missing person posters be up there too.
I don't like the higher focal depth in the remake shot, the flatter image of the scene feels easier to look at and I assume led to an easier to see and wider image on a 4:3 screen
PC will consume 600w with a 4090.
What now senpai?
Remake will frick up Angela's story and maybe even Eddie's.
I hope atleast the VAs attempt to sound like they're mental headcases
Then sounding crazy is not enough. The sentence structure in the original makes everything sound like a dream because things always have a slight hint of not making sense.
>Eddie's story
There is no story, Eddie is nasically underdeveloped in original.
It's not like anyone care about ugly fat homosexual kek, but whatever
>>I hope atleast the VAs attempt to sound like they're mental headcases
Don't even bother anon. The english voices can only be a downgrade, they're too iconic at this stage. You're better off playing the game with Japanese voices, at least then it won't be distracting.
>a bunch of americans speaking fluent nip
It's gonna be a bit distracting.
Considering how James is already presented I'm 100% betting that Angela will be too obviously crazy like in the HD collection. I'm betting you will leave that first encounter thinking "man both of these people are crazy" instead of "that conversation was really off".
James is literally me fr fr ong
Silent Hill 2 was never that good
Only the first 30mins of the game are kino. From the restroom parking lot up to the end of the city portion. From apartment to the last 30mins of the game its a walking sim with 20 copy pasted rooms and the same 3 or 4 enemies.
I'll explain it to you OP
Original:
>Patchy, cracked asphalt. Unmaintained and decrepit. Broken in ways that asphalt breaks down.
>Pine trees patterned like the wings of dark birds.
>An old warning block, probably from a time when people still cared about this place.
>rusted drainage ditches
>a dark abyss in the bathroom
>Car looks like a toy
5/6
Remake:
>Asphalt is made with tiles, some disrepair but not pockmarked as in the first. Water pools unnaturally to create reflective surfaces.
>Pine trees look bought from an asset store.
>No sign of anyone being here before.
>Can't even see the dark abyss in the bathroom.
>The car looks like a functional automobile
1/5
There is no poetry in the remake. No care. No heart. No soul. It's an anti-creative slop that is made with as little human touch as possible. But at least the car looks better now, eh?
It literally looks like a fake unreal engine demo
What do you expect from contrarians that say deus ex 1, morrowind, and planescape torment are god's gift to gaming in order to fit in to an anonymous image board? The board is home to othe biggest NPC gays in gaming.
It does. Color grading is important for a scene.
top looks spooky and foreboding because of all the intentional grime and decay in contrast to the otherwise simplistic textures
bottom if you squint a bit looks like someone just took a mundane irl picture of some overlook on a cloudy day
>Car door closed
Why do remakes always miss the point of everything?
>newer game
>have less fov on the lake
I can't take products of a company named "bloober" seriously lol, it's trash
The trees look much better in the new one, but check out that b***hin' PS2 car!
Bottom looks fine. Biggest issue is how bad James's character model in in the new one. It looks nothing like him.
They wanted him to look less white.
They also replaced his military jacket, which was a reference to Jacob's Ladder. Probably didn't want to put the U.S. flag on this clothes.
He still looks white, it's just that the model is clearly done by a less talented artist than Takayoshi Sato
I don't like the lower angle
Older is comfier. Photorealistic graphics can’t be comfy.
No. I expected it to be trash but the exteriors actually look amazing in the remake. I'd go as far as to say it's the best rendition of the town and it's surrounding so far. Too bad the interiors look generic and too dirty. Almost look like a set piece where everything is hand placed to make everything look as creepy as possible. In the original, interiors looked so natural and it made the game feel very realistic.
I want to get sucked off by the nurses
>remaster as reference
>not the PS2 original
Graphics are not very important
Shiny surfaces and big textures are not the secret to making something memorable
Remakes are useless cashgrabs
We need a NEW GAME that is GOOD. But this is an impossible thing to accomplish now.
>we HAVE to pick one or the other
is this all life is, just listening to homosexuals argue over consoomer products
just fricking play the one you like, tada!
I don't like the perspective/fov
new one looks better but the old one has more soul
Number of polygons isn't everything.
I genuinely have zero confidence in any voice actor being able to pull off Mary's ending monologue the way she did. It was perfect.
I wonder if she will be able to pull of going between Mary and Maria's voice during the prison scene. HD didn't even try.
There are tons of flaws in the bottom. For one they added dramatic lighting for no fricking reason. Top feels more surreal and less depressing. That is because they understand the effects of lighting.
Also, current gen devs seem to want to make everything wet so that they could show off raytracing reflections, not realizing that flat surfaces can easily reflect in many ways that require no advanced techniques at all. The reason screen space reflection exists is that horizontal, flat reflective planes can be hyper-optimized to replicate certain pixels in other parts of the render pipeline. Truly impressive reflections originate from geometry of arbitrary shapes and angles. Like looking at a donut-shaped mirror in front of you.
is it ps5 only or will is have pc prot?
PS5 only baybeeee
The steam page is already up.
its on PC
People crying over a cinematic teaser trailer not being a 100% accurate clone of their childhood kek
Got to fit in somehow
moron
lets talk puzzles. Will they still be as hard? The modern audiences wont take to that...
Press X to call a friend for hint
They weren't even that hard to begin with.
Unlike boomers the modern audience knows how to open youtube
they will be replaced for
>push this box into hole
>move this ladder here to climb
He left the door open because he didn't give a frick what happens to him or the car (also you can get the map out of the car).
they actually changed the parking lines in the remake to make the car in line while in the original he ignored the parking lines and parked tilted because he didn't give a frick holy shit are bloopers moronic
Now that you mention that it's driving me crazy. Why are they angled for that kind of parking lot? It's a big waste of space. Why aren't the curb stops aligned with the angled lines?
in the original they aren't parking spaces
it's pedestrian space for shit like tailgating, hence the curb indentation and the trash can
it's common for rest stops and observation areas in parks
new one reminds me of alan wake, which was a shit game, people will disagree with me but I am correct
Gen 6 horror is hold in such high regard because it did look off. Yeah the bottom one looks better, but also "slick".
Horror should look off and uncanny, making it this pretty will deduct from that unnerving feeling that old horror games/movies with puppets could give.
the reason the car door is closed now is actually to modernize it with american expectations
you USED to be able to leave your stuff around without worrying about it being stolen
now you just assume, even in the middle of nowhere, that some cletus will steal it
They couldn't even model the car door open, instead just took some car asset and slapped it there.
This is actually an interesting observation. In fact, Blooper intentionally did this as a symbolism. As you may know silent hill 2 is chock full of the stuff.
So, the door being closed represents James internal struggles and how he has "closed off" the thoughts and grief and guilt associated with Mary. In essence: A door used to be open here, it's closed now.
Why is his car not open in the remake
James leaving his car wide open was pretty iconic and one of the first hint something was wrong with him
Why the frick did they close the fricking door?
top is unironically kino tho
bottom is trash as frick
>origional
looking downward towards toluca lake, the source of the spiritual power in silent hill. The town is below and James will be making a journey downward which is a theme throughout the game.
>Remake
Let's look up at the sky!
I think the rain was also a mistake, the original looks dried out and barren, the game is full of concrete and rusted metal, the rain makes things lush and fertile
