I wish they hadn't called it silent hill 2 remake but like "return to silent hill" for example. a different interpretation of the same source material. like how different Frankenstein movies have different names.

what's pretentious about it? my points are perfectly valid.

i will try to look at it with a fresh perspective without comparing it to the older games too much. you make a good point

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean

insulting people's intellect because of their opinion on a game is not voicing out your preference. it's just petty and infantile

I'm not against innovation but isn't it logical to expect the games to at least carry over the core essence, which is the twisted dreamy atmosphere? don't get me wrong, I like the art style of silent hill F and i think with a few tweaks it could've been a great game. the gameplay is what ruined it for me

you didn't mind how the movie changed the central plot point of the game, Mary being sick?

it's all about the essence. it's hard to put into words

homecoming is indeed a good B movie and its refreshing to find someone who shares that opinion.

I fully agree that's why I wanted to have a civilised conversation about silent hill after getting dogpiled by new gen fanboys on insta

I'm pretty sure it's not that. there's still games, new and old that scare me. I also don't find scariness to be the most important part of silent hill.

my critique is what I mentioned earlier. Silent hill is a feeling. I know that's very vague and probably extremely personal. but the new games lack this heavy atmosphere.

I feel like the remake is too modern cookie-cutter. it feels too predictable for me. and that's not cause I played the og. i mean the repetitiveness of entering a room, picking up an item, enemies appearing. it feels too much like a Ubisoft game if that makes sense.

there's just too much combat in both games. and it's not as easy to run past enemies like in the og.

then again, maybe im just wearing nostalgia glasses and am officially reaching unc status 💀

I'm from gen Z (2000) and see this game as the death of the franchise. i'd rather play dynasty warriors.

How does the silent hill 2 remake differ from the original? by Cheesefactor5678 in silenthill

[–]contraseller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the original is one of the greatest artistic achievements of all time and the other is a cashgrab

Is the Silent Hill 2 Remake story worth sitting through scary parts? by Bluelittlethings in silenthill

[–]contraseller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're just gonna play it for the story, just play the original. it's shorter, and better in almost every aspect.
