Silent Hill 2 set to release on October 8thHaving received a letter from his deceased wife,James heads to where they shared so many memories,in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill.There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her..."My name... is Maria," the woman smiles. Her face, her voice... She's just like her.

What on Earth did they do to Angela's face, lol...
Yikes, that wasn't a good trailer.

I wonder... if Konami had waited a bit (before they did the first slate of announcements), if they could have gotten the Tormented Souls team to do it.
Probably would have been cheaper, and those guys definitely get classic, survival horror.

I swear if they make Maria look like one of the run of the mill androgynous feminist types we better nuke Poland

Ok what the hell there's s 14 minute extended gameplay trailer and it looks pretty good actually. Save for the by the numbers over the shoulder camera but folks love that crap.

Akira Yamaoka ❤️, if we get a 6 or 7/10 along with his music I say we take that as a win

there were moments when I said:

Yes, silent hill was more like an exploration puzzle solving game.

but at the same time, just like the devs said in that video, they are trying to be competitive for 2024...

... I don't think they are achieving that goal.

and the sound desing is really poor.... which is baffling.

The character models in this are a downgrade.

No sense remaking a game if its assets look like a 2-pack of ass.

It looks better than last time but characters and animations still feel off. The environments look great.

Combat is also a bit more advanced than the original, with enemies that can block/counter melee attacks.

The lighting looks good in certain indoor scenes, but awful in others.
The fog just looks terrible, regardless if it’s in game or cutscene.
Like I said before, camera is still too close to James.
I’m digging the new design of Maria/Mary, but Angela is definite yikes!

I know I’m nitpicking btw…

The fog is more realistic the only tease there was fog in the original was because of the limitations at the time , it wasn't supposed to be there , the movie had a great explanation for it though with it being ash because of the neverending fire
