SH2 doesn't need a remake
Yep. It's a money grab.
Agreed. Still gonna play this though because I have no self control
I mean....if they add more enemies but they have to be in-tone with the story then it will be an upgrade. They gonna change the voice acting so let's see if SH2 trully was good how it was or maybe it could improve. My money is that the old one will remain superior but lets see.

>FUCK

>maded by fucking poles.
There's nothing to be hyped for. It's a collection of scenes from the original game, remade, with no gameplay footage and no meaningful news for half a year and with no official release window. It's like getting hyped over MGS3 pachinko cutscenes.
silent hill has been a pretty dormant series (silent if you will). everything thats been made for it since team silent disbanded has been horrible, at least in comparison to the team silent games. silent hills seemed promising but it got cancelled almost 10 years ago. the remake looks pretty unfaithful to the original already from what we've seen, so fans dont care. normies dont really care that much either since, nothing good has been made for it in years.
tl;dr nothing good has been made for it in years and the remake, the first game in a while, looks bad and unfaithhful to the original.
What the fuck could have gone wrong..
I don't care about remakes by the incompetent game devs of today.
the real SH will be F, can't wait for nipaah.
this can't be fucking real
my wife is fucking dead
also it's almost impossible to do justice to sh2
that incredibly limited combat and voice acting was a thing of the era
improve the combat too much and you get maybe a better looking downpour
improve the acting and the original fans will be mad
expand on the story or lore and head cannon fags will be mad
there's no winning
maybe F will be interesting
>improve the acting and the original fans will be mad
wrong. the VA was spotty in the original for some characters like Angela. This is the one thing the remake could improve.
>the VA was spotty
and it contributed to the atmosphere. if you change it, it loses that feeling.
for example, the HD collection and Maria's voice. they intentionally changed the tone of her voice throughout the original to build confusion and yada yada, but in the HD remake they recast her and all her lines are monotone.
the same thing happened to Eddie, Angela, and James; and the same thing happened with SH3 when they changed the voice acting in that game.
James and Eddie sound too chad in the HD versions since they have Troy Baker and Liam O'Brien voicing them.
Eddie's voice in the remake was a genuine tragedy. He's one of my favorite characters and I could not believe they beefed him that hard!
And to think there are people out there that defend the HD collection.
Now that's true horror.
The game is a carbon copy of twin peaks, the way characters speak in silent hill is almost exactly the way they speak in the show, the mastering could be cleaned up a bit but otherwise the “spotty VA” is 100% intentional.
I’m not arguing that “better,” voice acting would either improve or hinder the game, just saying that the design was intentional
>maybe F will be interesting
Not with R07 the fucking moron writing it
that is why its gonna be the best SH ever, his writing is unmatched.
I wouldnt use Ganker as a metric, that said third person horror games barely exist anymore so I can see this one doing well
Cancelling Kojimbo’s game killed the IP because it’ll always live in the shadow of what might have been.
Yeah, capcom was smarter
the actual fanbase for silent hill is much smaller than you think. sh2 has been discussed with so much reverence for so long you would think that everybody has played it, but it's simply not the case. it's one of those youtube video essay games that people namedrop to appear cultured and tuned in, like ico. i've never met anybody in real life who has played sh 1,2 or 3
I've never met anyone IRL who plays anything other than Pokemon, Zelda, Fortnite CoD and PUBG
Even if it's gonna be shit I'm still getting this game on day one, but there's nothing to discuss right now.
We all know the story, we all know they will ruin it, we all know gameplay will be "over the shoulder" shit with dodge left/right and attack, wouldn't be surprised if there will be some lgbt flags around SH just to show the support for a brave lgbt community
I'm hype for a graphical overhaul of SH2 but I'm also worried about how they're going to change the gameplay.
Especially worried about what they're going to do with the combat...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FUUUUUUUUUCK
Konami
Bloober
Making it fucking over the shoulder.
Don't get me wrong I'm still gonna play it one way or another, but I just know it's gonna be bad.
It's fucking Western Silent Hill, it's gonna be shit like the rest even if they're just copying 2.
Konami shitting the bed.
Blooper sucks as a developer and can't into subtlety (just look at the difference between the scene where James grabs the noose)
Stuck on the PS5 for about a year (even FF16 only has to be on it for 6 months)
While people still seem to enjoy some remakes like the RE4 one, fatigue seems to be setting in for them in general.
i knew this will be bad the moment i saw they decided to do a sh2 remake instead of sh1.
the same will go with mgs3 remake if they'll announce it today instead of mg, mg2 or mgs1 remake
Would you really want them to fuck with the original? The only reason they went for 2 is the same reason shit like Clone High got a new season 20 years later. E-celebs and tiktok zoomers got obsessed with it for a bit, suits saw that and thought they could make easy money if they brought it back.
>Would you really want them to fuck with the original?
if they went for a sh1, at least then i would know they're at least trying to make a good remake of sh1-4 and they're going from the start.
if they're starting from sh2 i'm not 100% sure they only care for a quick cashgrab to please ledditors
Isn't a Snake Eater remake suppose to be announced today at the absolute state of play?
God I wish they would just leave it alone. Also I'm tired of remakes.
>any normalfag "gamer" seems the announcement: wow, so hecking poggers!
>Anyone with any knowledge of the industry sees Blooper Team: Starts laughing their ass off
Are blooper actually that bad?
Their prior work speaks for itself.
From what I've heard all their games besides Observer are bad, and that's only just okay at best. The medium is desperately trying to rip off Silent Hill as far as I know and I remember some fags on twitter complaining about the ending since apparently it devolves into "You can't fix trauma you should have a nice day instead". I don't know how accurate that is, but that's all I've ever heard about the medium.
>The medium is desperately trying to rip off Silent Hill as far as I know
The Medium is nothing like Silent Hill. It's basically a P&C adventure game with really simple puzzles. SH-fags wanted it to be like SH and got mad that it wasn't.
Blair Witch was kino
Completely needless remake that looks to miss the point anyway.
i'm 100% sure*
Didn't Konami also do that HD collection that was bad? That could play into why people don't expect much, as well as they kind of dropped vidya to make more pachinko.
>Didn't Konami also do that HD collection that was bad?
Yes and no. They outsourced that shit to a literal noname mobile app team, while BluePoint + Kojima Productions did the brilliant MGS HD Collection.
Also there's been more shitty SH games than actually good ones made by the OG team at this point, and the OG team went through the same bullshit as Kojima Productions back in 2015.
Last but not least, the DE-make simply looks and sounds like arse. The "we gotta modernize this for modern ppl!" mentality itself is a massive red flag, on top of the overall audio-visual directing signaling "we want Amerimutt movie goer audiences".
>Yes and no. They outsourced that shit to a literal noname mobile app team, while BluePoint + Kojima Productions did the brilliant MGS HD Collection.
Honestly it's not even their fault. Konami was like "btw we lost the original source code, here's some really buggy beta code we found on a floppy, enjoy fixing the original game's bugs". The team basically did the best they could, given the circumstances. Most of the stuff people criticize the SH HD Collection for (and rightly so tbf) is stuff like how SH3 has all-new voice acting, which is entirely because Konami refused to renew old contracts.
It might be me but the "HD" textures in all those "HD collections" always looked like shit. They should've just bundle all the games like an emulator and be done just like how nintendo rapes the kids with those shitty emulator bundles for 60$
>What went wrong?
The whole notion that :
1) anyone would WANT more modern DE-makes,
2) any SH fan would WANT another demake / sequel made by a random Western studio, and
3) any SH fag would even want to support garden gnomenami after the last 20 years of butchering their biggest IPs and pissing on their creative authors.
>anyone would WANT more modern DE-makes,
The RE4 remake is the 2nd fastest selling game in the series. FF7 remake has sold 14 million copies since release. I don't think people hate remakes as much as you think.
in short they just hate bad remakes, remake in itself isn't necessarily bad as long as it stays true to the original vision/atmosphere and improves on the gameplay aspect, prettier graphics are just bonus on top.
Fuck off tendie
You do know that sans the meh Shattered Memories, no SH game has ever been released on a Nintendo system?
You really need to start making sense.
There's one anon posting that every time someone criticizes a multiplat game. He's trying to push some kind of narrative I think.
It was fucked the moment Bloober's involvement was leaked. Good scenery but the rest is going to need hardcore modding to save it.
people forgot about re4 remake and it actually wasn’t bad. People have already forgotten about this game because you can plainly see it’s fucking terrible.
>people forgot about re4 remake
Content and talk still goes on daily, it's just getting drowned out by TotK dickwank everywhere and it being a single-player game that simmers down like all the others.
Fuck off shills
>people forgot about re4 remake and it actually wasn’t bad.
It wasn't exactly "good" either. That's exactly the problem with modern AAA games in general, they're just "okay" at best. Gray and muddy.
And SH2 demake's outsourced to a small slav group whose #1 goal in the project seems to be "upgrading" the gameplay to be yet another over-shoulder run & gun fest, this time with DaS-lite dodge oriented combat.
AKA: Homecoming 2.0.
>People don't talk about a single player game as much two months after release and two weeks after a bigger franchise got a new entry? Must have been shit.
Retards like you are why I can't take any opinion on Ganker seriously.
Kek, people still like those games, it's just you get 20 zeldaschizos calling you shill and making 30 threads about retarded shit
post it.
There was hype initially though. The trailer got a lot of views in a very short time. The problem is people found out more about this Bloober developer. They also have took the time to dissect the trailer and what we know so far. It turns out we are going to get a shitty product guaranteed. There is nothing here to look forward to. So hype died.
>The problem is people found out more about this Bloober developer.
How did people "find out" about one of the most famous horror developers in existence? I know it's outsourced to Anshar, but they're releasing Layers of Fear Remake in less than a month, and people are obviously hyped for that, too.
Not everybody knows of their existence fool. Haven't you seen that top horror games list from IGN a few months back? It was nothing but Silent Hill and Resident Evil games in the top 10 with only one spot going to something else. The only other game though was Dead Space. Horror games are a niche unless its these franchises. Most people knew nothing of Bloober until this remakes announcement.
Most people don't know Bloober, either, they just know that it's being remade and began to gape themselves in anticipation.
I’m excited but I know Ganker is the worst place to try talking about it
I hate doomers but but I don't expect this shit to be good.
>So there seems to be no hype for this at all. Silent Hill fans don't care, normies don't seem interested, no one is talking about it.
The trailer has over 8 million views. It's literally one of the most hyped horror games ever released. RE4R only got a fraction of the views. What bubble do you live in?
Bugslop from a studio that burns bridges
They should've remade 1 for being a better game or 4 for actually needing to be improved
Silent Hill 2 did not have a good story.
I dislike SH2, but the only problem with its story I have is that James just forgets a major fucking memory. I don’t buy into that memory suppression shit, and the whole game relies on that reveal. You don’t forget that kind of thing unless it becomes super routine, you get brain damage, or supernatural stuff happens.
Psychologically, it does happen. The brain cuts painful memories off to protect itself.
James is just an extreme case.
>you get brain damage, or supernatural stuff happens.
The whole fucking game is about supernatural stuff happening. And even if that weren't the case, James is pretty explicitly presented as not being mentally well. A repressed memory from a psychological break is fairly believable.
The only one that could be potentially good is F, but all that had was a nice looking CGI trailer.
why do people listen to this midwit retard?
he makes long videos and sounds confident
thats all it takes to succeed on youtube
It's just a dumbed down rehash of Lost Highway.
I don't see a reason to be hyped for this.
I played the game 3 times already.
Give me a new, original SH that doesn't suck ass.
Silent Hill F will deliver.
What the actual fuck.
>2017 mid tier pc as recommended
If you complain about this you must be poor as dirt
We already had a sh2 remaster.
Don't worry, they'll pay shills closer to the release
true
The story is the only good part and i already know it. So there's no reason to be hype. Silent hill F looks like it will be something. The other one that i don't even remember just look like it will be more western shit.
>The story is the only good part and i already know it. So there's no reason to be hype.
this. and it's a low key horror story, it's not like you can enhance the experience in any way with modern tech. you could "improve" the gameplay but....who the hell cares about that?
we have no gameplay and no date. nothing to be hyped for yet.
>What went wrong?
Anything you need to understand about Bloober's storytelling abilities can be discerned by comparing the bathroom scenes.
>Original opens with James already in the bathroom, silently staring into a mirror, his face obscured by shadow and expression unreadable. He touches himself, and only ponders whether Mary could be here before exiting to dryly exposit his situation and why he came here.
>Remake opens with James barging into the bathroom while hyperventilating. He washes his hands, as if trying to get rid of some metaphorical stains on them, before staring into the mirror with a look of pure anguish. His voice is a little shaky and openly mournful.
It loses all subtlety and mystery. It also shows a failing to understand James. He's difficult to read because, despite having genuine grief, he's the sort of person who internalizes that grief. He's become emotionally numb since Mary became ill and that shows in his tone of voice.
