PlayStation's latest State of Play finally gave us a good look at Silent Hill 2 Remake, showing off a variety of different puzzles and monsters that players will encounter in the titular town. Surprisingly, quite a lot of the game's latest trailer was focused on combat, something that probably needed a bit of an overhaul due to how clunky it is in the original, but not exactly something that many fans would claim is an important part of the original experience.



You'll find a lot more people just expressing their overall disappointment with the new footage as a whole, while a couple of people are claiming that Bloober Team has probably missed the point of why the original was so loved by having a trailer focus on combat so much in the first place.







Some fans even took shots at the unnecessary quick-time events shown in the trailer. X user TotallyPointless mocked the decision to include QTEs, saying,

"I’ve said it for years, the ONE THING Silent Hill 2 was missing, the ONLY THING stopping it from being a masterpiece, FUCKING QUICK TIME EVENTS."

I thought it looked good enough but SH fans are extremely hard to please. It's like they would rather have nothing than this remake 🤷‍♂️

I meant they dug their own grave by picking SH2.

It is not a traditional horror game though. Picking SH1 or 3 would be a better pick.

Also look like I am gonna pull a whole all-nighter again so anybody have some good horror film recommendation? Please

Silent hill fans are insufferable, they were going to be unhappy no matter what... or at least that was my experience on that particular subreddit, maybe they are more chill elsewhere.

I love SH. Unfortunately, it was very underwhelming. Graphics look great, but the animations and jank really stand out. It feels like a AA in many scenes. SH is not even a game that relies on combat, but the combat here really seems like he was shooting with a pee shooter.

Am hoping for the best, but I have no hope with Bloober on the wheel.

Did you show the Darkness what Light can do?

Honestly it came off looking like RE4 from 2002. While clearly an exaggeration… presentation looks cheap and the combat jank.

Unimpressed to the point where I’m writing it off completely. Pass

Looks good to me. Look exactly like the old one when released
