-Unreal Engine 5 jank. Looks and runs like shit.
-Bloopooper slavfags

-Generic over-shoulder hack & slash gameplay, a la Homecoming.
-....which completely butchers the in-game cinematography, atmosphere, and player guidance.
-All the modern TLOU - RE4R cancers, from autosaves to yellow paint meme.

-Too much focus on fighting shit, ruining the pacing AND the symbolic subtext of your opponents.
-Everything takes 3-4 times longer for no reason, meaning people generally don't want to replay the demake.
-Dungeon designs and puzzle solving elements were totally ruined, streamlining everything to smaller portions you check one corridor loop at a time, instead of truly exploring an entire building to find keys and clues.

-The "Otherworld" meme is overblown and again takes cues from the fucking SH Movie, ruining James' alternative reality segments by turning them from moldy and sickly, into the Alessa's burned hellscapes.

-All characters' models and acting is way beyond raped.
James just grunts into the mic and acts annoyed, rather than being a sloppy introvert who only acts sure and smug inside his head.
Angela looks like a porkey and does not act like 16 yo.
Maria is a clear case of Sweet Baby Inc's tampering, and just like nu-actor in the HD Collection, she cannot do the instant, stark Maria-Mary switcharoo at all.
Eddie was turned into a literal disgusting lardass, because the old one apparently is now a "normal American bodytype 1", and you're not supposed to pity nor relate to "bad guys".
Laura is just okay I guess, but sure doesn't look like an 8yo.

-Cutscene cinematography and directing comes across extra amateurish. Lighting is weird, framing is weird, and the overall delivery is just flat. Many scenes completely miss the original's impact, by censoring and altering things for no reason (see: Angela's fire staircase; you cannot even chase her).
-Audio design totally botched as well, with some weird versions. Also weird old SFX are looped 24/7.

I didn’t hate the remake, but this anon has it pretty spot on. I had to kinda just turn my brain off and not nitpick. But I’ve also played original sh2 so many times that I didn’t mind playing it to see the differences. It has waaaay to much combat though, that’s the easiest and most glaring issue right off the bat. Even my little zoomer brother who hasn’t even played the originals said it had way too much combat and asked if the original was like this.

Made by people without talent or passion instead of the opposite.

>I had to kinda just turn my brain off and pretend not to see the glaring flaws
I'm jelly to Neanderthals who can disable their nervous system.

But yeah, this shit is literally just SH:HC, with a cheap warsaw pact SH2 cosplay set. Literally the sort of slop everyone hated back in 2010.

A passionate and talented person would never be interested in redoing someone else's work instead of making their own.

the fact that it didn't come out when I was a kid and I hadn't ruined my brain and life yet
