I think these are great finds. I always questioned if the leaks from back then really came from a Bloober Team Prototype and was quite sure, after HeyaDrive released their footage, it came from their Mock-Prototype. But looking the comparison screens here now, we know for sure that this material came from the Bloober Team Prototype. Kinda surprised how much they sticked to this Prorotype in the final build that will be released.
I know we haven't seen the final product from Bloober yet, but I wonder how it would've turned out if Konami chose HexaDrive to make it instead. They have a decent list of projects they've worked on. Konami's decisions are baffling.
This is the first time I saw any footage of the Bloober and Hexadrive demos. Good job and thanks for sharing! Hexadrive seem to have missed the point of the environment though, it doesn't give the right SH2 vibes. In this case I say Konami did right not to entrust SH2 with them.
I am disappointed that Hexadrive had to cancel their take on SH2 Remake. While I didn't like The Short Message I do think that seeing that footage of their game could have led to a better game possibly. Then again the team behind the Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake is showing that they're giving Delta the exact treatment Silent Hill 2 Remake should have be getting.
I heard about and saw this early demo footage before, I was very sad when all talk of it disappeared as I love silent hill and not only want the old games remastered/remade on current platforms but also new games. I thought the short message was good(as different as it was it was definitely a tragedy and felt like silent hill in tone, it was pretty hardcore really)I hope more people actually play and finish it to see that(some people were turned off by the gameplay but as a person who has played all the games I feel the difference was ok for a side title and I also didn't mind the "shattered remake of silent hill one that nintendo got and later ps. I just want more silent hill and I am glad it is finally coming around 😎👌 I remember how excited I was when I read about the first game in psm and pre ordered the game at software etc. And then finally getting it and playing, good times. I also waited in line to get silent hill 2 when it released and was blown away again...I hope thos remake sells(ugly faces or not)cuz we need silent hill back in a big way 🙏
The only good thing coming from hexadrive's demo is James' look. Everything else looks off, the lighting of the apartment, the environment looking too clean making the blood splatters seem unsurprising. You could dismiss it as "oh its just a demo of course it looks bad" but its a pitch, a proof of concept, yes the graphics can be bad but at least bloober's pitch got the look right, the cold atmosphere and rough environment. Bloober had a way better reputation in terms of sales, the genres they were doing and relations. Though this doesn't make me trust konami in any way I still hate them, but I have hope in bloober.
Dust Golem is really an amazing guy. Who has an awesome talent of tracking down beta game development. Really goes to show how much they delivered for this remake. Got me excited to play this on Halloween month.
Did you watched this video th-cam.com/video/VLAZGnGNSCk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fJ_Od2NZRLvujc2C ? It looks like a better version than what was shown in the gameplay video of sh2 remake. I think that the gameplay video shows beta content,the same thing happened in the combat trailer
Angela and Maria need more work, their heads are too big compared to the rest of their bodies. The combat needs to be toned down... This isn't an action game. Otherwise the graphics look absolutely amazing and it's how I would imagine a real-life Silent Hill town would look like.
I actually think that The Short Message was rock solid, just made to appeal to a different generation of gamers and maybe not especially for the Silent Hill fanatics. But the designs were top notch and the otherworld was one of the best since the older games. Saying that, the story did not come von HexaDrive but was created internaly at Konami and was directed by the new Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto, working for Konami. The material for a Silent Hill 2 Remake pitch was created by HexaDrive in a very short time during a time Konami already had a deal with Bloober Team. I would love to see if Konami is giving HexaDrive some ressources, what they might be able to do with their very own project.
@@theangrygamer1232 I'm 37 and always open for new stuff. It wasn't P.T. (not even the slightest) but an improvement over crap like Homecoming and Downpour. It's free, no one was hurt by the game.
Ok boomer. Its too early to tell but from the trailers it looks fantastic. Remaking the worst of the core four first was a weird choice but I'm optimistic.
@@Benzona I didn't understand shit about the games when I was young but they gave me nightmares for months and I've been obsessed with psychological horror since then. I saw the action gameplay in the trailers for the remake and it really didn't feel like the same game anymore...
@@iroquoiskaram8639 Have you ever seen the original 2001 trailers for Silent Hill 2? It's pretty normal to focus on the combat system same as they did back then, it doesn't necessarily mean its going to be an RE4 level departure from horror to be a big dumb action game
i like these other sh2 versions compared to the slop were getting..seeing how their ruining sh2 makes me no longer want a silent hill 3 remake as i've seen what they've done to the female characters injecting woke into it....i'd rather not have a ugly heather mason.. heather and sh3 is one of my favorite games of all time. but i'd rather not see a cursed remake of it.
Man, James model in the cancelled version was so nice and loyal to the original game... Why they change? The things they do right they cancel... Very sad!!! Why do they put this Angela in the game we saw in the last Silent Hill Transmission??? The wrong things they maintain. Never understand KONAMI's "mind"... 🥲
Every now and then i get on a Silent Hill kick and it can last for months lol. Here i am again.

I'd take BlooberTeam over HexaDrive any day. After Shart Message and Turd Birthday they need to stay far away from Silent Hill.

Probably because it's made by people who worked on the OG game (mgs3)
I would love to see a Shattered Memories-like remake of SH2.

The original characters had a unique charm. They were elegant yet exuded an unsettling, almost eerie presence. In REMAKE, they just look... goofy.
Dust Golem is really an amazing guy. Who has an awesome talent of tracking down beta game development. Really goes to show how much they delivered for this remake. Got me excited to play this on Halloween month.
in a dlc driven time. can't wait till a dlc of the original model for the characters ends up coming out.
whenever yoy say "silent" sounds like youre saying "sih ent"
