Silent Hill 2 Remake | Review Thread
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Negatory muchacho. Waiting on pro info to ensure it’s pristine.
pre ordered the disc!
So should be here on tuesday. But I might wait for the pro if I can resist
Had it on pre-order (steelbook edition) even before they started reviewing it.
Question to SH experts. I've seen the movie(kinda loved it at the time) and I know these games (although never completed any, I played a tiny bit of all of them).
Is Silent hill as seen in the sequel, another dimmension or city as is?
You can see items left in their places or a note "I went to town to replace the window" and we see the windows is still not replaced.
Everything seems to be left as is maybe for a year or three. not it too bad shape yet but clearly it has been some time.
Or is the city going on and all of this is another dimmension when James enters it?
if so, then why James sees everything as abandoned and decapitated ?
btw - I've watched some early gameplay and it looks incredible. Real ghost town feel. Might be best ghost town ever in gaming? And the fog looks insane. volumetric, thick and not just flat panes

Just play it , You are better off not knowing what silent hill actually is. It is very different between 1 and 2.
Silent Hill in this game is the manifestation of James' inner pysche - his guilt specifically
Now we just need them to do the same with SH1.. The game that should have been getting the remake here.

I started this game this morning, and I’m pleasantly surprised. It looks and plays great.
I played it after binging on Silent Hill stuff after Downpour came out.
The first Silent Hill was the most boring. I don't know why it became a cult classic. Homecoming, Downpour and 3 were better.
2 is the best obviously.
I played the original PS version on PS2. I sold it for lots of money after I was done (same for Silent 2 PC and Silent Hill 3 PC, sold both and regret to this day
)

To each his own. I personally liked 1 and 3 best. I did like them all though, to be sure. Nothing really captures the true atmosphere and horror of the town quite like 1. The state of its nightmare world felt like a town truly being dragged into a hellish nightmare.
Sorry to hear.. That's why i hold onto all my games. Even if/once the hardware dies, emulators save the day.

Does anyone know why the armless creatures have zips on there backs ? Did they have them in the original I can't remember
Yes, there are Dragon Quest retro remakes incoming I believe.
(I don’t consider it a “major” release but appreciate the enthusiasm)
Just sayin… end of the year is here. Feels like this is it. Mixed year. There’s kind nothing for the holidays.

They are body bag monsters basically. Only more fleshy. Pretty sure they had something like that. Can't remember specifically if i was their back.
