She is not real. Any criticism to the characters looks is a indictment of the creator's lack of artistry or malicious agenda.

Gamers are like "why the fuck would you make a character look completely different when making a remake? also, learn how people look like, preferably". Eddie is still a (much) worse example of this, tho.

That's true, imagine going to prison for sex assaulting the David Duchovny version? What a waste of your life that would be. Not to mention everyone in town would know that you slept with her. I'd never be able to show my face again from the embarrassment of it.

I'm getting tired of this cycle of everyone loving some new nostalgia bait with the love coming out of nowhere and leaving just as quickly.

Was weird as fuck seeing everyone gushing about Hocus Pocus a couple years ago all of a sudden and then it vanishing without mention.

I'm wondering if this will be the same thing with SH.

 

[Machocruz]

It's all just consume product. That's why the love is here today, gone tomorrow. There's no time taken to savor, appreciate, or contemplate the current thing before it's time to consume the next thing. Also there is the cope of praise, to think things are getting better all the time and that the cultural offerings of each new generation aren't shitter than the last, which they often (usually?) are.

Remember the Resident Evil 4 Remake? No you don't, cause the shills stopped being paid and all mentions of the game instantly evaporated.

REmake 4 never interested me because I replayed the original a couple years ago and it still holds up very well, REmake 2 is the only one I was interested in because at least it's different enough from the original. What's the artistic point of remaking 3rd person shooter into 3rd person shooter, but with less charm? Didn't help that Village was so mediocre I couldn't be bothered to finish it, the "redemption arc" for Capcom is long over.

Of course it will, this remake will be a footnote while the original work will still be played and talked about (for better or for worse). Remakes that surpass the original are genuinely rare, I think the last time it happened was with the RE1 Remake.

I know it's easy to shit on SH2 because a bunch of poseur secondaries have been parading it around as the greatest game ever made for the past 15 years, but it's honestly still a great game and I can't agree with the SH1 hipsterism. SH1 is still far far inferior to any classic RE game in terms of mechanics and satisfying challenge.

Gotta clear some things up:

-Gameplay-wise, SH1 is a little inferior to classic Resident Evil overall, yes. But what is probably overlooked here is its hardcore puzzles and navigation, (the latter of which was partly lost in SH2, among other things). Silent Hill 1 is not a complete wash when it comes to gameplay, though it could have been better for sure. Whatever the case it is far more meaningful than what is in the sequel. And gameplay ties into the story, atmosphere and horror in a major way. Often another overlooked truth.
-It's not about Silent Hill vs Resident Evil. That's irrelevant. It's about Silent Hill vs Silent Hill 2 and beyond. SH2 is not a great game. Lay down the pipe. Maybe you personally like the dumb story, sure whatever. As a game it's hot trash. A horror game that isn't scary, ammo and health in excess, hardly any enemy types and they're all slow as snails, easy to decipher and navigate world...The gameplay is a downgrade over the original (which was already not the best as you acknowledge) and undermines the entire experience. As a follow up to Silent Hill 1 it is just a dumb rehash of concepts from the first game in a spectacularly poor way. If your introduction to the series was here, you're probably not going to notice this, but many things don't make sense. Why is there an apartment complex level to overcome? The point is to get to the other side of the town but it just doesn't make sense why you have to go through this complex and its arbitrary puzzles. In the original, it was very believable. The town was forever shifting and had collapsed roadways, so you'd cut through a house briefly for example. The school had all the motivation in the world to be a dungeon of sorts, as we were searching for our daughter inside the school, not for an objective on the other side of it. In which case you could just climb out a window, hop a fence, or simply walk around the building? That's the questions the apartment complex raise.

If you think SH2 is a good game, you're no true gamer. No logical fallacy here, as the play experience is trash and on top of that butts heads with the horror/atmosphere/story. If you think it's a good horror game, you really need to play more horror games. If you think it's an interesting story, that's kind of fair I suppose as it is unique for games, even if I personally think it is dumb and that you play as a retard (the main character). But don't get it confused. Shit game, shit horror experience. Play more games. Better ones. And not what Reddit recommends.
Try System Shock 2, Darkwood, classic Resident Evil (originals not remakes), Silent Hill 1. Good starter pack to be set on the correct course.

Resident Evil got decent remakes because they took old games and improved upon them.

No they didn't. They got the exact same treatment as your beloved slop hill 2. Whatever nuance, artistry, intelligence and soul that was present was now gone. Standard remakes of modern times.

I don't remember fully, but I think Angela is around 19-20 years in the events of the game. In the full lore she doesn't only suffer sexual abuse by her father and brother, but also she did on her job as a waitress.

If these companies were smart they would put out remakes in addition to classic collections so everyone is happy.

I’m a mega fan of RE 1-3 and thought the remakes were inferior. But I was able to enjoy the remakes for what they were, and didn’t sperg out about them like SH fans did about this.

That's a little overboard. You don't want her to be hotter than Maria.

16 or 17 is what the "making of" video claims. However, she looks older on purpose. So both the mod and the remake fail to deliver on what the original intent was.

Very much recommend watching the video if anyone here is even slightly interested in Silent Hill 2 (and has finished the game). The parts with Takayoshi Sato in particular.

Pick Silent hill 3

Here we go

No direct camera control is terrifying.
