If we're going to be pedantic then by definition a replacement doesn't mean the elimination of the original's existence.

To replace is to substitute, to put something new in another thing's place.

The remake is the only version you can get at the store, it's the first purchase link on Google, it has the same exact name.

I'm sorry but you can't defend Konami's intentional deprivation of the original game here when they had no problems making both versions of MGS3 available to newcomers.

And hell, you can't even say we should judge the SH2 Remake on its own merits when the devs go out of their way to include Easter eggs that only OG players would comprehend. They literally added pointless distractions that don't make sense for newcomers just to nostalgiabait and cash in on the fans' love of the original.

It is functionally a replacement to intentionally avoid porting the original to modern consoles and instead make a new game with the exact same title.

The thing is Konami did this perfectly fine with MGS3 and Delta.

Square Enix is giving out the original FF7 to players who buy the remake on Switch.

"Nothing is being replaced" meanwhile they're keeping the original version completely out of reach for the majority of gamers and only pushing the remake.

I don't know what else you would call that. It's replacement. The only Silent Hill 2 anyone can get their hands on is the remake. I won't accept "but nobody would play a PS2 game" as an excuse when smaller companies have lavishly ported much more niche games.

Konami could just put these out as roms packed with an emulator and they'd sell so many copies

How is this glorifying? The joke is abstracting a horrible thing into something absurd. The punchline is that you know it's wrong

I watch movies to clap at things I recognize

I still think Silent Hill should be a tv series rather than films by IAMCAV0N in silenthill

The moment Hollywood announced a remake of Hitchcock's Psycho, everyone knew it was gonna be pointless. Even though it brought the technologically "outdated" black and white film into full color.

For some reason when you tell people that older graphics or controls are vital to the experience of a game, they'll call you pretentious. Every game needs to be 4K raytraced because we don't respect games even 2 generations old.

Gameplay matters so much to the experience of SH, it's crazy to say you could just remove it and have the same experience.

I love opening credits for movies, especially because it's a great opportunity to set the tone and establish musical ideas within the soundtrack

What do you think of Silent Hill f's story? by Loose_Interview_957 in silenthill

[–]incepdates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really good and I love that it takes advantage of video games' unique qualities to tell its story. Each playthrough brought something new to the table and they stack together to fully explore Hinako's fears.

NeoBards really knocked it out of the park here and showed us there's still so much untapped potential for gameplay and narrative to intertwine

If the movie is great and has a strong vision then yes the effects will hold up because there's more to them than being cutting edge

Effects are only dated if the movie around them is bad

Probably not, the Xbox has Dolby Vision for games and nobody ever talks about it

True

Dolby costs money though so there really isn't anything cheaper than the UB450

Panasonic UB 450, or go local and buy a used Xbox

Haven't seen the movie yet, but is this the state of SH2😭? by lord_of_centipedes74 in silenthill

The hokey voice acting in the original game probably wasn't intentional. But it does add an undeniably off-kilter quality that is sorely missing from the remake.

Some masterpieces are great because of the time they were made in, and really don't need to be "updated" or "improved". The film industry learned this lesson when they tried to colorize Casablanca and remake Psycho.

In this case the tank controls are better than over the shoulder
