To all of you guys who have raved over this title for the past 20+ years, I now completely understand why. 10 hours and I'm floored by this game.... so many years of hype and some how Bloober has exceeded my expectations across the board!

Nope! I had heard about it my whole life but never had the chance to play... I was quite young in the PS2 era. My first time looking forward to a release in this franchise was after P.T.... over 10 years ago. All that time later we're finally here lol
I didn't have a PS2 when it came out so I played on PC years after release.
2 is definitely the best but the controls and camera were outdated and awful. I could never play it again. I have so many
To the veterans whats your opinion of the fog, is the new version better? For me the original slightly edges out the fog in the remake.
On the other hand the combat is very satisfying in the remake and much better than the original- stomping rocks lol, also the use of dualsense for the static sound
The puzzles are good too and make you think, and finally pyramid head is still as scary as he was back then

I think I only played the OG Silent Hill on PS1 and got stuck at some point at the piano puzzle because my English wasn't helping. It has insanely scary atmosphere but with goofy enemies. Never played any Silent Hill after that.
If you are into play old games I should recommend to play the original.
It is not like the Bloober is bad… the opposite it is pretty good game but it is still lacking compared to the original.
These that like the detail to detail from the original will understand fast the differences… of course Bloober added some fan service that are really interesting so it is worth to play as second time.
I know people are doing jokes with the fog but the fact is the atmosphere is different.
Another big difference for me are the gameplay that makes it too easy to beat the enemies… I will explain… the enemies are manifestation of MC’s fears, traumas and guilt…
Forget about games… think in your real life… when you dream and have to face some enemy or situation of fear/trauma… at least with me it is really hard to beat it… to overcome it… it is suffocating and confuse… sometimes even shooting or using a katana does nothing to the enemies in your dream.
That is how original SH2 translate to you in terms of gameplay… an opaque and confuse atmosphere with weird action that you can’t easy beat or overcome the enemies for more illogical it can be… just like your dreams.
Bloomer’s game loses that… making it a simple action of beat enemies.
Silent Hill games are more psychological than action… they are unique experiences and Bloomer game is not unique anymore.
PS. Just remember why PT is acclaim everywhere with little to no gameplay action

I've played all the RE games since 7. Disagree full on. This game has a completely different atmosphere, pace, and vibe. RE feels like a B movie action horror while SH2 so far feels like an avant garde horror film.
Similarities in gameplay/puzzles sure. But overall designed very differently and spark very different emotions.
There are difference sure... it is not Reaident Evil after all but for it is still closer to RE than SH2… that is my point.
I guess you need to experience SH2 atmosphere, pace and vibe.

Ok I started this today. My ps5 disc arrived on time. Quality mode, hdr set to 4000 with dtm on on my tv and it looks amazing. Yeah I know it’s not a popular way to set up hdr.
Aside from upscaling grain, it looks amazing. Like almost too good. Wow. If pro fixes the fsr2 crap with pssr? Perfect.
More so on technicals first. I changed deadzone to 0.10 and sensitivity to 0.40. Feels a bit better. Anyone found good settings ?
Also not sure about 3d audio. I play with my fav pulse 3d and 3d on in system settings. But in game You still have to select headphones which makes me think it doesn’t support any of ps5 stuff.
That said…. It took me 40 minutes to get to 2nd save. Barely walked into sh. Jesus Christ it’s impossible to play. Sure I started it at 11pm with headphones on, on oled… and I can barely fucking move. It’s so scary and unnerving. The audio design is incredible. You hear everything. Leafs, pity pat of the rain of surfaces, noises. The directionality is perfect. And the music is authentically unnerving too. And even when you get up to the big sheet wall… it’s noises and squeaks. Holy…
I was am too afraid to play silent hill as a kid. 2 and 3 were always unplayable to me. But it was 20 years ago. I thought of myself unaffected by horror movies and games. Aside from soma. That is crazy scary.
Anyway… 70$ wasted lol. I got to the 2nd save and quit. I will play later when I am … not so tired.
One hint please. Is it always safe in red save rooms ? Can I breathe there ?! I’ve not even fought anyone yet lol. I swear normally I am not a pussy like this but good audio does that to me. Pulse3d is great and I will stand by it.
