Description -
Silent Hill 2 remake is, above all else, a testament to the enduring greatness of the original. Bloober team's deft handling of the story, characters and themes brings these elements to new heights, but the newly expanded spaces add little value will negatively affecting pacing, and the combat framework seems an ill fit here. Regardless, Silent Hill 2 feels as contemporary as it did more than two decades ago, as its fearless desire to say something real remains a rare occurance in the AAA space.


Also an interesting comment that seems to confirm what I was hoping for in this game (assuming he means 3D audio headsets) -

This is not being talked about enough: the game recommends headphones in the first splash screen for a reason. I am shocked to hear all these reviews with so little regard given to the sound design. It's a COMPLETELY different game when you have the volume cranked in headphones, the difference is absolutely staggering. The amount of depth added by the sound team is genuinely a crowning achievement across the gaming medium, it even adds to the story in more ways than I could keep track of, which was super unexpected. I've played all the major heavy hitters and never have I experienced sound design like this. You can kinda tell even by people's comments who did and didn't experience that side of the game. If you're reading this, try it in headphones with the volume up. I assure you with 100% certainty that it is a different game than you thought you had played.

Or use a sound bar. There's a lot of audio cues and subtle background sounds I picked up just by using that.

We have a seller on our hands!


I am already expecting the online haters to moan and cry about Bloober or the remake getting "lucky".

True but there’s still a difference. I have a 7.2 setup in a carpeted basement and even with it cranked there’s ambient details I hear better (or only) through surround headphones at a fraction of the volume. Interesting to note the PS3 had an objectively better audio chip than PS4, in my experience. I can’t speak for PS5 since I don’t have one yet, but I’d imagine it’s at least as good if not better than PS3. Apparently the Tempest engine is based off of the SPU architecture of the PS3.

Remakes aren't killing gaming. That's stupid and a nothing statement made by pretentious and pompous jerks who act contrarian, because they have nothing better do in their lives, but moan and *****. By the way, SM, all of indie and AA gaming says hi.

Also, Synthetic Man is a well known grifter and part of the anti-woke mob. I wouldn't recommend taking any advice from him. No true man makes a living out being another biatch-in-a-boxstand, hating on others for being different nor because they're not the only ones catered to. Not a shocker you would fall for grifter like him and Electric Underground.

I do tire of these "Games Are Dying/Gaming Is Dying" these shit heads post every few months or weeks. Gaming is not dying, it's just games you don't want to play or you only want people to play the games you like. Or you want everything be like the old days and blind yourselves on too much nostalgia.

God, I hate the nostalgia straw man. I never played Spyro before 2024, but knew when I finally looked at the remake after my playthrough that the old one was more charming, visually and musically. But whereas I sought out the original, most other new players would go for the remake, because it's new and shiny, because they can't play a game that's more than one generation old. All that detail in the remake makes it gaudier and less dreamlike.

Not much of a strawman when the example is right there, and said example has done this multiple times. How about you actually think for yourself, instead listening to some random neck beard who says what you want to hear.

Doesn't make you better than anyone else. Not everybody has the time, nor money to seek out older games and consoles that have gotten crazy expensive in the second hand market. People want the most convenient thing, and I shall never look down upon them on it. You try saying what you said to most people and they'll respectfully tell you not everyone is the same.
All that detail in the remake makes it gaudier and less dreamlike.
To you, and that is the nostalgia talking. I respect and love the old-school, but I am not blind. People were going crazy for shiny new graphics back in the PS1/Saturn/N64 days. You have no place to judge him, as we were no different. So don't play that shit.

The "GAMING IS DEAD/GAMES ARE DYING/REMAKES ARE KILLING THE INDUSTRY" grifters are full of shit, and they need to shut the fuck up. The only ones killing the industry, are shit heads like them and the publisher answering to their shareholders.

Resident Evil 2-4 Remake didn't kill the industry.
Ninja Warriors Once Again didn't kill the industry
Demon Souls Remake didn't kill the industry.
Shadow of the Colossus Remake didn't kill the industry
Crash N' Sane Trilogy didn't kill the industry. We ended up getting Crash 4 and Crash Team Racing Remake.
Silent Hill 2 Remake didn't kill the industry.
Dead Space Remake didn't kill the industry.

They helped expand the industry and flourish. Not to mention, there are still plenty of titles out there aren't remakes. It's funny how they go unmentioned, downplayed, or made to be happenstance/rare exceptions all of a sudden. Capcom has bunch different titles and new titles that have just come out or are coming out next year that aren't remakes.

You're not even going to play the remake any way (which is fine), but your opinion don't count for shit when it's second hand and from someone you're more than having positive bias for.

Says the man who knows every YouTuber* and posts multiple opinion videos all the time. You know that I express myself in detail plenty, much to criticism. Have even tried my hand at a long form critique video once, which had some clunk and got almost no views but was still worth it to me. When I do post opinion pieces, I don't feel at all like I let the YouTuber speak for me. This one got a little long-winded for me, but good video.

*Three out of three times you've had choice words about some dude I posted. I don't know how you have the time to watch so many.

Remakes aren't killing the industry, but they are a symptom of the problem. The high cost thanks to bad priorities that makes publishers so nervous about producing original games. It's sad how much they are going back to financially proven games in their aversion to risk, with the new version always more homogenized to the current standards that have had so long to solidify with players. When I think of the new experiences I could be enjoying... Well, the "original" games are mostly so inbred in their design too, in polishing the things that have become more popular and gradually dominated over time, largely shitty things. I don't feel like going into this in more detail again right now. The sameness of everything becomes so tiresome.

I never once made that claim. You assumed I do. I know quite a few, but not every YouTuber under the sun, nor the entire world. While many do share similar views I have, I don't 100% agree on every single thing, and there a videos I can 100% disagree on. The difference between the ones I post is that they don't have their heads up their asses (usually), unlike the self fart sniffers like Gaming Brit, Electric Underground, Synthetic Man, nor any bitches like them who claim to be all about gaming or are "TRUE GAMERS". The rest I don't bother remembering, because all under the same shit of using click bait titles with bold red, white, or black lettering with white outlines. They're all interchangeable at this point.

There are plenty of problems I have with the gaming industry, but I remember to keep myself grounded and that not every person that games is not exactly like me, and that's okay. I can live with that. People spend their time however they want on a game, so long as they're not being assholes nor anyone is being harmed.

When I do post opinion pieces, I don't feel at all like I let the YouTuber speak for me. This one got a little long-winded for me, but good video.
Lately, you have. I count two, plus that article from that blu ray link. And it's a shitty video not worth the brain cells listening to.
*Three out of three times you've had choice words about some dude I posted. I don't know how you have the time to watch so many.
Not my fault you happened to watch videos of people I know about. GB I do subscribe to, but I rarely bother with him nowadays; especially if it's anything modern gaming related. For all his shit talk about SH2R, he had no problem praising the shit out of RE2R and RE4R, so he's just being hypocritical biatch again.

Synthetic Man's track record has obvious red flags going by his post history you selectively ignore for the sake of comfort and convenience. Spoken like a true capital G gamer.

Nah, that would be the shitty live-services, wannabe hero shooters, and wannabe Fornite clones that keep popping up, because the AAA industry can't learn for shit. Once again, AA and indie are kicking ass and actually helping too. If remakes were truly killing the industry, they would all be failing right now. There are bad remakes/remasters, don't get me wrong, but let's not pretend most remakes have been performing horribly. No one forcing you to buy these either. If you're that starving for new and original content, go to the indie scene. You'll be in heaven. I know I am whenever I get something from there. It's called have balance and enjoy life for once.

It's sad how much they are going back to financially proven games in their aversion to risk, with the new version always more homogenized to the current standards that have had so long to solidify.
Sad, but not every AAA company is doing this. The real problem is these fools constantly needing prove/answer to their shareholders

I don't feel like going into this in more detail again right now.
Because you don't have much evidence offer other than de-flinging excuses/arguments that have nothing to do with anything. So spend that time not sitting on your ass whining, and choose to play games you enjoy and find something new. There's plenty out there that is not hard to find. These titles are either coming out at the end of the year, or sometime next year. Or catch up on new and original titles you missed. Don't give me pathetic excuses about you not being able to find anything. I'll hear nothing of it. If someone like you can't find anything, then that is your problem.

Also, just be happy Silent Hill is getting proper recognition again. It's not all doom and gloom you like to make it out to be. With this remake, people who never heard or tangentially heard of the franchise are now interested in other titles, because of their impressions on this remake. Most of them are not going to go out and buy older consoles to play the original titles, but that is not net negative. So what? People have lives and we all alive under different circumstances. I'll take people's appreciation now, then not knowing anything at all. Nor get my feelings hurt, because they didn't happen to be born around the same time I was. Nor act better than people for not being in some dumb exclusive club of old games they never got the chance to play or aren't interested in playing. It's called respecting other people's time and choices.

I didn't say that you made that claim, I inferred it as a joke from your constant posting of opinion pieces. Telling me to speak for myself is hypocritical. I post three videos in, what, six weeks and you essentially claim I don't have a thought of my own? What IS that?

I don't care about their track records. I have never watched this guy before. I'm able to take something for what it is. Your problem is that you're too obsessed with connecting things. It's a wonder I can say anything without you remembering something else I said five years ago. Would make it impossible to communicate anything, as your "opponent" has to constantly clarify something else.

The decline can be in the chase of Fortnight and all that crap and this too.

Evidence? It's out in the open. Look at the budgets, look at the development times, look at the similar mechanics and design. Stop playing keyboard warrior and pretending. I'm not gonna describe the checked boxes in twenty unrelated games and my criticisms so that you will stop wasting my time by acting like I don't have anything. You'll simply do another "snip" or some such shit anyway.

Not really. Especially when you've been praising and essentially saying: "See, these guys get it and are speaking the truth! It's a good video!" Yeah, because being ***** contrarian with nothing to stand on (especially when one of them is not even going to bother playing the game) counts as a trustworthy opinion. I didn't tell you to think like me. I told you to think for yourself and actually play the game. If you don't want to spend the $70, I won't blame you. Wait on a sale, use a gift card or whatever when the time is right. I spend only $60, because I had coupons to spare.
I don't care about their track records. I have never watched this guy before
That's your problem and why I don't trust him. You should learn to keep track records. You'll notice if a person is inconsistent or not, and learn if they're arguing in good faith. Which Synthetic doesn't do at all, can't be consistent for shit, and is part of the anti-woke grift. You would know this, if you got off your butt and action paid attention, instead going for convenient half truths and only hearing what you want to hear.

I inferred it as a joke from your constant posting of opinion pieces.
With the way you act at times, it's hard to tell. You didn't make that clear, but I appreciate the effort to make up for it.

Evidence? It's out in the open. Look at the budgets, look at the development times, look at the mechanics and design.
I never said it wasn't true, I was mainly referring to the remakes not hurting the industry. I also brought up the many shitty live services and their various clones. So far you've been the one ignoring evidence.

Stop playing keyboard warrior and pretending.
Projecting much? I'm not pretending anything, yet you keep sourcing and following the people who are. That says more about you, than me. At the end of the day, the videos I do watch, it comes down to forming my own actual opinion and experiencing the games for myself. Not to be swayed by jack asses with an axe to grind to begin with or have motives nothing to do with what they're talking about. I don't do "keyboard warrior". I call out bullshit when I see it. Deal with it like an adult or don't. Your choice.

I'm done for tonight. Get some rest, and go actually enjoy something. I don't care what it is.

I don't know his other content, but you would name anyone who calls out the woke crap that's everywhere a grifter. Hell, you've said I sounded like one of them. Like someone can't genuinely dislike it. Other times you've basically done the lalalala or "snip" post in which you tell me you don't wanna read it, most recently in respone to my 007 criticism (which you prompted me to elaborate on in the first place).

"You have to try it for yourself." Some of you said the same about God of War 2018 before I played it, like I don't have eyes and can't determine issues without playing the game, issues that can be shown in a video. "Think for yourself." That condescending attitude. As if you need to play a particular kind of over-the-shoulder shooter to know the basics of what it's gonna be like after twenty other games like it. I remember predicting that the primary actions would be moved from the face of the controller to the top because of the shitty camera and that jump would be removed after the first gameplay video.

Started the save file in December 2018, reached the credits in February 2022.

2/5

Hate what this game represents.

Force a camera perspective PURELY because it's the trend. The designers can claim it was for cinematic purposes all they want, but they used the same kind of language in God of War III interviews when talking about the camera angles, which were highly cinematic without being obtrusive or so limiting. There's nothing really impressive about telling a CG story with a single shot. It makes for boring photography. The camera is always so close to the character and can never pull out much to emphasize the scale of the level or setpiece. Having such a limited field of view that doesn't capture the full player character means no jumping, which means fewer ways to evade, which means more simplistic, monotonous combat, not to mention more basic level design. Stop using the interconnected world design to claim the level design is good. Most individual areas have very little going on. The camera also limits the kinds of action setpieces you can have. They're still there, but you have far less control over them than you used to, usually just button prompts on screen as the character you can't control plays out the cutscene. Jesus, the field of view is so bad, I can't emphasize it enough. That you need triangular warning prompts to know what's happening around you really says it all, doesn't it? The dodge button is on the face of the controller, and you're dodging so much that you can't really keep your thumb on the camera stick, so you mostly just push it into the most convenient position you can and then wait as the more pressing danger leaves the screen again. Rapidly back and forth from the Cross button to the stick. Massive downgrade.

The combat becomes more boring and limiting after you get the other weapons, because then it turns into a color match game where the fire weapon is needed for the ice enemies and the other weapon is needed for the fire enemies. There should have been one or two more weapons, because there really isn't enough going on in the combat to carry the game for as long as it goes. Same giant troll type enemies over and over, with the same execution animations again and again. I might be mistaken, but I think there's only three types of bosses: the aforementioned giants, the villain Baldur and the Valkyries. The few others are more like interactive cutscenes.

Why have a companion if you must press Square to make him shoot? I rarely used the arrows in combat, because I found it so unnatural to prompt a basic action that he should have been performing on his own that I simply forgot I had him.

The old God of War games placed the save points and the health and magic chests intelligently. In the reboot, you always restart from the latest auto-checkpoint with full health, so it doesn't really matter. It feels cheap.

The game has some trash puzzles, mostly involving the axe throw and sometimes the kid's arrows. At one point, I gave up on the right strategy because my aim with the arrows wasn't precise enough and then found out when I played again the next day that what I had tried initially was correct. Which is another reason God of War was better before the action buttons were moved to the shoulders and it became about controlling the camera. God of War was conceived when aiming was still seen as secondary in most games, rightfully so. How many of those early 3D action and horror games had auto-aim or fixed camera angles? Damn analog sticks.

The villain, Baldur, seems more like white trash than a character from Norse mythology. The dialogue all too often sounds real world rather than mythical, fitting so poorly in a place so fantastic. Turning God of War of all things into a walk and talk was a terrible idea because of the type of story that it is. You can't treat Clash of the Titans like serious drama and have the characters making these kinds of quips and having this idle everyday talk. It will just come off as pretentious. Which is what this reboot is. Super pretentious. They have gods talking without any kind of grandeur or godliness, acting like regular folk made immortal. Impossible to take seriously.

I know people were tired of the old Kratos. Instead of turning him into something he just isn't and could never be, they should have replaced him. Written a new protagonist with his or her own weapons and mechanics. They should have kept the fixed cinematic camera angles and used cutscenes (that actually cut away, moving the story along more efficiently than with all this single cam shot walking and talking between spaces of worth) sparingly, but come up with a new combat system. They should have also kept the gore, brutality and titties instead of pretending their game has to be taken seriously by art snobs. They shouldn't have built their game with the kinds of production values and photorealistic graphics whose costs so severely limit the actual game part of it, particularly the enemy variety.

Oh, and so little music, idle talking replacing the music, made it more boring too.

I'd love to hear everything that you actually object to (and what you agree with) in both Silent Hill 2 videos. Not the character of the people who made the videos, but what is said AND SHOWN in the videos themselves.

Ghost of Yotei and the people making them says otherwise.

This you?

most recently in respone to my 007 criticism (which you prompted me to elaborate on in the first place).
Because I don't give a shit and not wasting time on another long winded rant on 007. I can appreciate new and old 007 I like and of my own choosing. I'm excited with whatever I/O has to offer. End of discussion.

Some of you said the same about God of War 2018
At least you actually played it. I don't need recap. I had a similar issue, but I was letting fear guide me of something that wasn't going to happen in the first place. The little myth/"theory" (based off nothing more than this is different and I hate it) Gaming B spread that if God of War 4 becomes a success, then traditional action games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta would disappear forever and only GoW4 clones would exist. All proven to be false and a load of shit. I played the game, loved it, and enjoyed it. Yet we live in a world where Devil May Cry 5, Norse GoW, Streets of Rage 4, Bayonetta 3, Evil West, and Hi-Fi Rush co-exist with each beautifully. The best kind of outcome for most gamers and those that love action games. Yet GB never brings up that little theory again and keeps his mouth shut, because he knows he will get called out on it.


I'd love to hear everything that you actually object to (and what you agree with) in both Silent Hill 2 videos. Not the character of the people who made the videos, but what is said AND SHOWN in the videos themselves.
No. Synthetic Man never argues in good faith with any of his videos, so his most recent one won't be different. GB pretty hates on anything new and is a flip flopper when it comes to remakes. Not wasting time on a 7 minute biatch from him, when he is that predictable from the title alone. I am sure as hell not wasting an 1 hour on that piece of shit, Synthetic. You only listen to them, because you hear what you want to hear from them.

If you want to hear legit and actual criticisms from people who have actual problems with the game, but aren't on the super hate train nor mindless praise train. Check either SkillUp (not hardcore fan of him, but trust his judgement), MaxDood (He is not an SH fan at all, but he played the SH2 original 2 years ago and gets the appeal. He loves the remake and finds it stays true to the original), PatStaresAt (loves the game, but padded in a few areas), MoistCr1tikal aka penguin0 (similar feeling as Pat), and Max Derrat. Keep in mind, Pat and Moist expected the game to be bad and fail. If they're that impressed, then you know Bloober succeeded. And because of that success, they're in the green already have brand new title everyone is now excited for. Becaue of said remake. We're done here. I am going to bed, and got shit to do tomorrow.

Ah yes Synthetic Man, the totally not-Nazi, let's listen to what he has to say.

Thought my opinion of you couldn't sink any lower, but hey, there it is.

Since you're gonna keep bringing up the Ghosts of Yotei comments forever and the guy above already let it be known that I disgust him, I will add that I object to the VA's transgender message as well.

Boy sees his female classmates surpass the boys academically. (Partly because schools are structured to the way girls learn and teachers favor girls.) The women in his life typically have more attractive professions than the men because of how far ahead of the boys they were in K12 school, how many exclusive college scholarships they have and because women are usually picked over men for the same positions. Because of what filmmakers call toxic masculinity, the men that he watches in movies and TV shows are typically less assertive, more foolish, vile and weaker than their predecessors, while woman are usually portrayed positively. The boy is also isolated. He walks on eggshells all the time, with the opposite sex, again because of the modern hostility towards masculinity. If he does gather the courage to approach a girl and manages to do it in a way that is not considered creepy or repulsive by modern standards, the girl will very likely reject him anyway. A forty year concentration of wealth has made her, like most, gravitate towards the few men still able to succeed. Boy doesn't have the looks to make up for that, isn't in the top percentile of men. He tries to build charisma, but has grown up on technology. It has both made him worse at socializing and made the girl less receptive. She comes off as cold, perhaps unintentionally, because she is using her phone or because her mind is elsewhere: in the digital. Car-obsessive city planning, the death of walkable cities after the 1950s, doesn't give him many opportunities to encounter women. His life after high school is mostly the lone commute (in a car) and the destination, where he sees the same few people all the time. When so many young people are not having sex that it's called alarming and concerning, it's no longer just on the individual, it's systemic.

Boy has no pride, no male role models, no prospects, feels isolated, has been shamed little by little over the course of his life. Depression inevitably festers. He sees women own the dating market at age 20, sees how much better women are treated and portrayed. Becomes convinced that he was born in the wrong body, because no one was ever there to help him make sense of his life. Those who might have explained kept their mouths shut for fear of being alienated by their friends, family, colleagues. The voices around him were almost exclusively pro-trans.

Makes sense that men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women and that men transition three to four times as often as women. They have to bottle up their feelings and can't be as emotional. The worst thing about people spreading this harebrained theory of being born into the wrong body is that children believe it after hearing it enough, eventually leading to destructive hormone therapy and self-mutilation. This is why the right calls them groomers, which they can't grasp for some reason. The reason it's scientific consensus is because the researchers who wanted to prove it got grants by a medical industry that wants to sell drugs and surgery. Nobody will give a grant to someone researching if gender dysphoria is a sham. It would make the company look bigoted.

An eighteen year old boy died in April 2023 from complications within 24 hours of his vaginoplasty. They used a part of his colon. I thought those doctors were uniquely moronic to use his colon, but it's common practice when puberty blockers prevent the penis from developing enough to craft an artificial vagina. Trans proponents won't talk about tragedies like that, nor be honest about what these procedures actually entail. They silently accept it as the cost of inclusivity. Some will tell you that it's fine to give children hormone blockers because it can be stopped if the child changes their mind. No, the damage is permanent.

I won't attack trans people. I won't be mean to them when I see them or need to interact with them. But the advocates deserve scorn. They refuse to acknowledge that boys are so much unhappier than girls (proven by the suicide numbers) and can't think about the factors because they don't wanna be associated with "them." With incels, Nazis or whatever they wanna call us. It's all political for them, at the expense of children.

Depends on who you're talking about. Not all left advocates or those supporting trans and transitional periods are assholes who only care about themselves. Most actually care about the shit they're doing. Yes, some assholes exists, but compared to the Neo-Nazis and those that have a problem with women, POCs, and anything LGBTQ related are far much worse and are in greater numbers. They rather see us hanging from a tree, put in concetration camps, or only to be used as sex dolls and nothing else.

I am no expert when it comes to trans medical topics and terms, but I know enough that when it comes to a person's transition, it's best when they decide for themselves when they've matured enough and gotten the proper guidance. Usually between the ages of 17-21+, etc. Though everyone is different, and that is all I can say on the matter.

Congratulation, the incels, Nazis/Nezo-Nazis, and wannabe KKKs in the online sphere is all about being "political" (anything different from me or diffifult subject matters is considered political. They are "apolitical" or only "facts" when a game/movie/TV show has only straight white men being leads or making the right points). Which your precious Synthetic Man is a part of, and makes it no secret.

We've gotten off topic enough, and I'll hear nothing else otherwise.

I apologize for straying off topic @hanselthecaretaker2.


I actually had this happen. All I did was reload and autosave before that point and I was able to avoid the glitch when I realized what happened. Sucks it has not been fixed yet. At least it's out there now for people not that far into the game or just got to the hospital.

Thanks for the heads up, and hopefully this will be patched by the time I get around to playing.

I finished Silent Hill 2 Remake! I got the Leave Ending. I'll happily take it.

It's a great game and remake. My only gripe with it that others have pointed out is the that some sections go on for way too long. Some people complain about the hospital, but I'd say the Hotel goes on way longer than it should. Especially compared to the original game. The hotel is practically a breeze. All of the boss fights are bangers. There are no bad nor underwhelming boss fights in this game. I'll check the rest of the endings online. My total playtime 21 hrs 15 min 10s.

Bloober, you've outdone and surpassed yourselves. Thank you Team Silent, for guiding Bloober. Thank you Bloober, for remaking such an awesome game! I await your next game.
