Silent Hill 2 Remake - Review (How Bloober Proved Me Wrong)
Hi All,
Welcome to my lengthy and late review for this amazing new remake of The survival horror classic that is Silent Hill 2.
I first want to thank you for watching this as I put a lot of time and effort compiling this as I didn't want it to just be a run of the mill short video with a score at the end, I really wanted to compare scenes, show references, Easter eggs and dive down deep into this beautifully restored world of Silent Hill 2 !
I was completely wrong with my previous remarks and videos, Bloober team smashed this one out of the park ! its turned out better than I ever could've hoped !

    In my first play through I would say it was a flawed remake. But I have replayed this 4 times and I honestly feel like this game is perfect now. I’m just floored by the level of attention to detail here. I absolutely adore this remake. I still prefer the nostalgia of the original but this is right there with the original In my opinion. Also the abstract daddy fight is my favorite set piece and fight in ANY game I’ve played. It’s so good and just terrified me everytime

    • @jb2einziger

      That’s awesome 😁 yeah same here, any beloved game having a remake is going to have its initial doubts whilst playing through the first time as we’re so caught up in what we know to be ‘correct’ in silent hill 2 that any changes feel wrong, but like you said the more I played it the more and more I loved it, I think it’s really captures something special and is up there with the original on some levels, but like you said we’re always probably going to prefer the original for certain factors if we have strong nostalgic ties to it. And yeah the abstract daddy was so intense ! I’m glad you don’t encounter more in the hotel like the original SH2 haha 😝 thanks for watching 🙏

      That’s fine to feel that way about it, I myself was judging the remake hard before it came out I have videos on this channel taking the piss out of it, but now I’ve played it and watched it through a few times I feel they did a great job recapturing the feel and atmosphere and for the most part re recording the voices for the characters, I’m not a huge fan of Eddie and Maria but I think James and angela come across quite well, but I know the remake isn’t going to be for everyone, I’ll still be playing the original all the time, this for now though was quite a surprise to me

    Keep in mind this is coming from someone whose first experience with SH2 is the remake: I think the voices in the original sound completely awful. From every character. I cannot take the characters seriously because their line delivery sounds like text-to-speech. And I understand why! It's a 2001 game - we have come so far in all aspects of game design, and if it had been my original experience with the game, certainly I would have a more nostalgic view on it. Regarding Eddie, I think in the original, he sounds like a douchebag. In the remake, he, instead, sounds unintelligent - which I think is on purpose. It conveys the sense that his shortcomings are not his own fault, that he is a fine person, though simple-minded and subject to bullying. In the original, with his rude line delivery, he just sounds like some jerk who maybe deserved what was coming to him. I think his voice acting in the remake makes the viewer see him with a little more pity. I was shocked to find out what Angela looked like in the original game. She looks like an adult woman - isn't she supposed to be a teenager? I think she looks phenomenal in the remake, and her line delivery is just outstanding. I think the new cell scene with Maria is off-putting in a more... 2024 way. Instead of obviously switching between Mary/Maria cadence, she changes it all around, going monotone at times, other times really punching hard at the 'Mary' voice. It's like audible whiplash, instead of a noticeable back-and-forth pattern, which I think is confusing in a new sense. James in the original sounds entirely robotic... He has so much life in the remake. The hallway monologue with Mary at the end sounds like it is actually coming from the throat of a chronically ill, weak person. The shuddering and weak delivery is so realistic. In the original, she sounds completely healthy, completely fine. Great video! I came here directly after watching your love letter video, so my intent is not to insult a game you hold dear. I am not punching down at a classic: the original SH2 is a masterpiece for a reason. I'm just giving my insight as someone who played the remake first, and witnessed the original second. I think the remake is outstanding.

    • @jb2einziger
      @jb2einziger 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for such a in depth and well written comment 👍 and of course, I understand that many many people will be experiencing this remake as their very first time in the world of SH2 and thank god it turned out as amazing as it did as I think anyone playing the remake is getting just the same or better an experience than what it felt like playing it as a kid in 2001, and of course, with the voices people are definitely going to have their preferences, I think both games show their age In the performances for example like the original it was state of the art mo cap at the time but all they had was the dialogue really, and yeah I guess you could say people who played that first can see past certain things with the VA because it’s an important part of their childhood etc, but although their voices aren’t the most professional sounding the way they’ve always explained it is that they say that they feel they sound more like everyday people rather than actors, but in the same way with todays technology graphically and fidelity wise you can have so many minute details in a characters eyes, facial expressions, the way they hold themselves etc as well as great voice acting so it really shows how far we’ve come, I think all the voices in the remake sound fantastic I think it’s because of playing the original so many times over the years I have an already pre set expectation of exactly how I think they should sound and act so anything different makes me feel strange at first but after playing the game a couple times through I think everyone does an amazing job and the new voices all really suit them, I think James and Angela are my favourites I think they sounded incredibly lifelike and believable. And thank you so much for watching my love letter to silent hill 2 video as well 👍 I try and put as much work into these videos as I can without being the best at editing/writing and I’m really glad you enjoyed them 😁 thank you 🙏

      And yeah I think the soundtrack for most of the re recordings sound more expanded with new things happening, however certain tracks feel like a step back, I got the soundtrack with the deluxe edition but it’s not all the songs it’s only like 10 tracks, so I never heard Laura’s theme up until after the game was out and to me anyway it sounds like an amateur cover, the guitar tones used the drumming etc, it’s weird, but then other tracks like the new version of true blew me away

I am pleasantly surprised with what I've seen, can't wait!❤ The ONLY THING I've seen that didn't hit for me, was Maria's scene in the prison cell, it just didn't quite hit the level the OG did. In the OG, she moved back and forth between her Mary and Maria voice, it was creepier, uncanny...she tried, I'll give her that, but its such an important scene and perfect it was almost impossible for her to do it justice. I don't really care for the New Marias voice acting but its a small nitpick, I'm really happy with Angela and her expanded story.❤

      I’ve always known her to be a manifestation created by the town for James ? That’s why she resembles Mary so much but is more sexual as it’s almost like the spiritual power of the town is trying to use her as a replacement for James (from James mind) for the ways he may have wanted Mary to be more ? I’m sure they speak about it in the making of SH2 at some point, in the born from a wish game she says when I woke up I was all alone, so it’s almost like she didn’t exist in the town before James got there ? Or am I missing something ?

      @@jb2einziger Sure, she is a manifestation born from James's mind by the town, but we also know (from Born From a Wish scenario) that she has her own feelings and intelligence and some form of agency at least initially. So she is not like some mindless puppet completely controlled by the powers that be in Silent Hill. She makes her own choices in the beginning, she is thinking of ending her life, she is looking for someone to talk to, she finds Ernest, talks to him, decides to help him, we see she is actually touched by his tragic story, she is curious about him, wants to know some stuff. So at the beginning of her journey, she actually acts like a normal human being, just lonely and lost and sad. So you see, she is not some sort of evil demon that she might seem by the end. I think the cruelty of her story is that she is made like a completely normal person by the town, but gradually becomes what she becomes in the end as the town takes control of her as a tool for James's (self-)punishment.

    They succeeded with much of the scenery and atmosphere, and made several boss fights a lot more interesting. They did however BUTCHER the character of Angela with that troony self insert plump face, and the out-of-place drunk-raspy corny voice of hers. At times she sounds like she's smoked so many cigarettes it's not even funny. COMPLETELY ruined several of my old favorite scenes with that abomination of a remade character.

      "troony self insert plump face, and the out-of-place drunk-raspy corny voice of hers" is vile, hateful critique. In the original, she was supposed to be a young woman, but she looked / sounded like an adult. In this game, they really make her look / sound like a young woman who has been through intense trauma. I cannot understate how phenomenal of a job they did modeling her and voice acting her in this remake. I cannot for the life of me figure out why people are so bothered. She looks like a real human being now.

      Yeah I mean I don’t even think it’s intentional as a throwback I think they’re either trying too hard and it comes across hammy or they’re just not understanding the emotional impact of certain scenes and underplaying it or trying to intentionally be as different to the original to make it their own take on it etc, but so much original work and thought went into the voice acting, if you watch the making of or guy cihi interviews by Dave Schaufflee he says they used to act out in front of all the creative team each scene during mo cap, 8 or 9 times until they’d perfected the scene, then they’d go in the booth and record it, they were so controlling over all those scenes and wanted them to turn out that way, in this new one it’s almost like they’re given a script and just free reign to do it however they want etc.

      @@jb2einziger I have not, the enhanced edition's main appeal (besides the great bugfixes and ps2 effects restorations of course) is the option to have a bunch of features that go well beyond the original vision, 1080p widescreen patch? absolute nonsense, Silent Hill 2 was made with 480i 4:3 in mind, i am being blown away by the original game on PCSX2 as a 27 y.o playing the game for the first time in 2024 , i can't imagine what i must've been like in 2001 , but one thing i know for certain, the game we got in the end was the genuine full vision of the artists, it's not meant to have HD textures, its meant to have the film grain, its mean to be fuzzy and dizzy. I did have a PS2 when i was 12 in 2009 for many years but i never played SH2 , i tried the third game for like 20 minutes and it bored me back then because i was so into Resident Evil 4 that SH just felt too slow , these days i only have space for 1 single CRT display so since i prefer CRT over flat panel and i mostly use my PC, i chose it to be a PC VGA CRT Monitor which is no good for PS2 (i dont even have a PS2 anyomre anyways) so while you are 100% that the og PS2 game on a CRT TV is the genuine full experience, what im doing right now is a very close 2nd, the only issue is that my CRT Monitor is minimum 31kHz so therefore 480i only runs at 120hz not 60hz like the ps2, therefore i lost a bit of motion clarity (but it doesnt break the game at all, it kinda fits it well) and the sound quality is obviously better on the PS2 because of how its sound chip worked, other than that, my way with PCSX2 is vastly more genuine to the original than the PC Enhanced Edition.

At the same time, after watching it again and again I'm trying to be okay with the change. That its almost like Silent hill itself is talking to James, telling him that she can be whatever he wants, thus the sort of emotionless monotone in her voice.
