I played it for a hour. It's not better then the re2 remake lol. Re2 remake was insanely good. It also scored higher then silence Hill 2 remake. Like a 92 to silent Hill 86. After metaphor I'll play silent Hill 2. I'm not going on a crusade against the game. I just don't like how you're glazing it likes its the best thing since cheesecake and how it's better then resident evil. Like relax. It's a solid remake but its nothing crazy.
After playing both, (still havent finished SH2) I was ultimately let down by RE2 Remake. The first hour was amazing, but i found alot wrong with it.
Classic and overall series wise RE —-> Over SH for me. But they are different games. RE always felt more action, Zombie survival. Silent Hill was an actual horror game, horror and story wise theres no comparison which is better, its SH.
But RE1-2, SH1-2 all amazing. With RE being my favourites.
Remake wise, SH2 has kept more in line for me.
RE2 has better technical graphics comparatively for the time and better gunplay/gameplay.
But for me RE2 messed up big time with MR X following you all the time after the first 45 mins. Completely Ruined it for me. I already dealt with that shit in RE7, RE8, RE3 and a million other horror games. He stalks you more than Nemeisis does in either RE3/RE3 Remake.
Also the sewers, lab and everything after police station lacked attention to the detail compared to the Police station.. And finally, it really didnt feel long enough in the Police station, sewers etc. Felt like so much was missing.
The first hour of RE2 Remake is like GOTY for me, but ultimately because of the mistakes it made, I was left disappointed.
RE2 Remake still did an amazing job overall from Capcom, definitely deserves the praise and GOTY conversations. But as a super fan of the original, I was let down by the changes and lack of content. With SH2, even though I haven't finished it, Im not getting that issue, the direction is alot better
