Silent Hill 2 Remake is a goddamn masterpiece

How to remake a video game:
>"Modernize" the controls
>Make the combat more soulslike
>outsource graphics to indians who make bloated HD assets
>Hideous face-scan and uncanny valley motion capture
>Clumsily pad out the gameplay to artificially make the game longer
>remove all those icky outdated ideas about women and minorities
>Completely miss the point of the original game
>Pay streamers to say "Yo, this game is lowkey fire ngl"
>Continue to pretend that video games are a legitimate artform.

I just finished the original PS2 game, was pretty good, work of art really

I might play the remake but idk

>I might play the rema-
no

Honestly skip it, there is nothing of value in it. Sometimes a remake can bring a new perspective and give life to what were originally still images and primitive models like the RE2 remake making it interesting to play but SH2R is just a cynical cash grab that brings nothing and even takes away from the original. Gameplay wise it's pretty derivative modern over the shoulder action adventure shit and there are many many better games you can play if that's what you're after.

Don't listen to this guy

whats with the dashing lmao its like an anime move. pooper team si so god damn brain dead

>>719223387
its not the same game you absolute retard

It is, the shooting was decent which was really unexpected coming from Bloober and the shoot the knee and bash them tactic was fun. Level design are great, The otherworld level design is kinda meh tho. My main gripe is Maria is ugly as sin and only chainsaw as unlockable, faithful remake than the RE remake at least in term of content.

Maybe wait a few months. The remake doesn't actually add anything substantial aside from 2 endings that require 2 playthroughs, but you'll burn yourself out if you start now. You'll end up appreciating the changes SH2 makes more like the Eddie bossfight and James' characterization.

Amazing bait

No it's not. It's devs playing with playdoh and pretending they're making something that is good enough to be sold.

Imagine thinking a homogenized modern remake is more alive and interesting than an all time classic with actually interesting design.

No remake is the same game with better graphics. Not a single one.

I mean, it was pretty good. Not a masterpiece, but also not the flop everyone was expecting. Probably the first good game Bloober Team has made.

it's no masterpiece but it was an enjoyable experience

>Media is basic boring shit but the protagonist lies to the viewer
>NPC: OH MY SCIENCE THIS IS ART

>>719223387
>better graphics
i simply disagree

>>719219303
The game's only longer because players want to turn over every rock and bask in the town. It can be finished in 2 hours. You're not James, you're not looking for answers because you already know them. This is just another day at DisneyLand for you.

I still prefer the original RE2 but come on being able to visit the police station entirely recreated with a free camera is enticing.

No. James wanting a family in a town frowning up such things is the real ending... that no future Silent Hill dev is brave enough to tackle... except one.

>>719223718
honestly your webm looks way better than the original. my last re-play of silent hill 2 was cut short because i finished the hospital and realized there wasnt a single actually tense enemy encounter, the game aims your gun for you and you press x to win, or got forbit, you mash x to awkwardly stunlock an enemy to death

when i watch your webm i get an actual sense of urgency and tension that just doesn't exist in the original

Problem is the remakes combat is just as braindead as the original but with just flashier animations (that feel janky because you can only attack enemies when they are facing you). They made a bunch of dungeons and sections double, triple the lenght and all that padding is just mind-numbingly tedious combat. At least in the original you can just skip most of it.

>>719226468
The only tedious part in the remake was the maze

>>719223718
Imagine if you will, Crash Bandicoot somersaulting onto their heads, possibly the funnest thing in the world, yet no season pass to buy a blue jeans and high-tops for James. Tragic.

Now replay it.
And do play SH1 already, if you skipped it
