13:32 Yeah, that nostalgic feelings. My mom would love this, my childhood is full of memories about watching my mom playing Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Parasite Eve. With me in cozy pajamas, warm fluffy blankets, and tasty snacks. Watching my mom fighting and annilihating monsters. And my dad's hillarious and funny commentaries. I miss you mom. RIP.
Its so surreal that we live in a time where you were a child watching your mom play video games. As someone who grew up with the evolution of these games, it's odd to hear this. I'm glad you have those memories and had what sounded like a cool mom and a cool childhood. Enjoy!
The fog was originally to hide render distance but it also added to the unknown and unsettling atmosphere, and so became an iconic part of the Silent Hill series.
I remember back in 2000, my whole family would gather to play Silent Hill on the PlayStation 1. It was such a new and exciting experience-and so scary! My dad would be the one playing, while my mom and I would just watch. We were too scared to play ourselves. The graphics, for that time, were just incredible, and that eerie sound when the monsters would come closer… so many memories! 😅
So true he is legitimately the only gamer I can stand to watch but also love to watch. He doesn’t yap constantly so you can pay attention to the game but his narration and commentary makes it better!
@@anasdomain9994I'm sorry, I find this funny because I started following him years ago because HE DOES yap constantly. All his talking and narrating keeps me focused on what's happening when I'm not watching the phone. But when he gets scared, its funnier cuz he just starts rambling nonsense out of fear until he inevitably makes himself scream opening a door on accident 🤣
Man time flies , I was 27 years old when OG came out.And imagine playing on a 24in Sharp tube TV and my PS2. But back in the day silent hill 2 was cutting edge technology and man it did look good especially when that's all we knew. Fast forward 23 years later and man bloober team did not disappoint. I can't even put into words the level of detail and immersion and the compassion bloober put into Silent Hill 2 remake. And the combat is NO joke it's brutal and you can feel power in every swing and stomp from James. Infact to me the combat is so good that I want to engage lol. Well enough rambling. Thanks for video Hollow !
@@colinj5291 Yeah well, I'm always going to be young in my gaming heart. And to be able to play Silent Hill 2 remake 23 years later once in a lifetime and I got to experience it. ☺
@@Erocksomei’m glad you enjoyed the OG back in the day and are alive to see the remaster man. we’ve far to many people in the last 23 years. which hell i’m only 20 myself and i’ve lost 13 friends already. and that’s just from the friends i’ve met where i live now. i moved here when i was 12. so i might’ve lost old friends from elementary school i dont even know about. which is sad. either way sorry for the sad rant i just wanted to say im glad your here to experience it bro. literally a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Hi hollow I don't think you'd see my comment but I hope you do... I've been watching your videos for 6 years my favorites are horror ones I love how honest you're even in your reactions , your videos are my safe zone after a long day or when I'm depressed you helped through a lot even without knowing or trying I'm thankful to you and your videos ❤❤
hollow is very relaxing in ways that he games with genuine curiosity and has lots of empathetic i think choices, or views on things in the games, oddly has helped my anxiety/nervousness. Hollow keeps shit humbly locked down! and yet just comes off rather self aware and humble? so glad to have found him albeit late but better than never, just few months back. Also side note Akira Yamaoka the sound design music maker for these games is worth looking up some bts or behind the scenes on how he goes about the OST, hes fantastic and groovy, got me into Trip Hop like stuff years before I would find that is a thing. Akira Yamaoka horror ost GOAT.
@@HollowPoiintI remember playin the first one on PS1, the lack of visual quality only made it scarier, Thats the only game I played only once after finishing it and never play it again. I always played the same game twice or thrice after finishing it since nintendo, sega, to PS1, even on PS2 and 3 rentals, but only that game
I love to see firsthand reactions to a game that no one‘s ever really played, I never really grew up playing scary games and now that I’m an adult it’s all I like. I’ve heard so much talk about this game so I’m pretty happy to be here and get firsthand reactions from Hollow.
18:03 when that happens it's a like a little nod from the devs to the fans of the original. It usually showcases somewhere that an item/puzzle/event was located/took place in the OG but they rearranged for the Remake. In that specific one was the first enemy encounter
Real!! I was wondering why the radio wasn’t found there. But it’s also nice to rearrange things for the remake, makes it feel like a new game all over again
In my opinion this is THE OG of horror games. Played these games as a kid, admittedly couldn’t do it without my mom playing alongside me as I always found it terrifying. The only other game I remember being scary is Clocktower 3, but Silent Hill always reigned supreme.
I remember being so scared upon hearing static noise inside one of the apartments that I hid in the corner for a good 10 minutes waiting... Before realizing it was the broken TV. I wasn't a brave kid either lol
The original SH2 was my very first game I played on my PS2 in 2001. I played in the dark only at night and loved. It’s still one of my favorite games of all time. So pumped to play this. It was my reintroduction to gaming since a little kid on ColecoVision in the early 80’s.
i’m almost 31 years old and silent hill 2 was (as well as all the other games) a huge staple to my childhood. for the last several years, you have been one of my favorite youtubers, hollow. so watching you play this is such a treat for me! thank you for being so quick to it! much love to you and your family! 🤍🤍🤍
Actually, what I love about your videos is that you're so good at narrating, when you read something it has a vibe. Maybe it's your voice or that's just how you speak, but I really like it.
gosh silent hill was my entire childhood. i remember always watching my dad play them as a kid and being too scared of the monsters, though later on, i would play the games myself. the graphics, the voice acting, the ost, the atmosphere, the new camera pov, everything about this remake is perfect.
I was just thinking if you’ve done a play through yet, didn’t seen one, started watching another video of yours then BAM!!!!!! Here it is not even 10 minutes after I thought it, love your work!
Yeahhhh finding the note to go to the Texas cafe, going there, not seeing the spotlit cash register AND missing it with the interaction icons turned on is crazy. 😂
Knowing the context of this game and what really happened to Mary, the opening shot of James' hands and the motions they were doing over the sink is such a clever detail to add.
Resident evil, silent hill, and parasite eve franchise I used to play when I was younger and still play. All three franchises have that jump scared feel especially when you're playing these games at night and raining 🌧!!! Nostalgia at it finest great memories!!!❤
This game always terrified me as a kid. Which caused me to become obsessed. Seeing you play with fresh eyes. I lost it when the first monster starting crawling around the room 😂😂😂😂
I love the comments saying they played with their parents as a child. I did the same with my older brother while my mom and dad would exchange the controller to play. Funny, comforting yet terrifying memories 😅 my parents had us when they were only teenagers so they were in their 20s, still young kids playing a game! Makes me happy to see other people played with their families too hahah Although I had to sleep with a nightlight (which barely helped my fear) I still cherish the mems
i cant tell you how THRILLLLED i am that i woke up this fine sunday to my favorite TH-camr playing one of my all time favorite games growing up!!!!!!! im so pumped i can hardly contain myself
For me this was the first game that felt like it truly had surround sound. That was the thing that stood out to me more than anything was the immersion in the audio. It's cool to see that they have put so much effort into that again.
@@thehandleisuseless this has been a main issue I’ve noticed with Hollow. And idk how so many people can put up with the rush play thru’s and lackluster exploration. I have a feeling it’s because he works too much and does these play thru’s tired or something.
@@xmissviolencexat this point it’s about common sense bro… the game introduces a new mechanic where you can break windows, breaks a few car windows, proceeds to walk past a fking police car… no gaming sense no survival sense no common sense
17:58 that was the place where you found the radio and encountered the first enemy in the original game. Seems the remake is littered with these “memory” moments
One of my fave games of all time, the nostalgia i got watching this was mental, i remember being 8 playing through it with my older brother, can not wait to dive in myself.
this is one of my most anticipated games this year. My only concern was the statement made by one of the devs several months ago that they "tuned back the horror for a more modern audience" I know that statement got a lot of backlash so I am praying, like, literally praying that they reversed course on that idea and kept the horror and didn't change anything. My fingers are crossed
You can’t “reverse course” 6 months before release. Creatively, very few minor changes can be made the last year of development. With that being said, I personally think they nailed the horror.
@@jarde1989 sure they can, if they removed the gore then add it back, if they made the monsters look less scary then they make it so they aren’t. There are a lot of small things you can do that would change the significance of the horror. Lighting ,less fog and more visibility, etc.
@@p8triotmode Do you have any idea how game development works? Obviously not. It takes a lot more work to just "add it back" than what you are implying. 6 months isnt a lot of time to do anything that you said. It doesnt matter anyway, because I have no idea where you heard "tuned back the horror for a more modern audience", because it simply isnt true. They didnt do that.
@@p8triotmode You can usually remove easily… you may even increase enemy count… You can’t ADD new things/events or overhaul the atmosphere without heavily driving up QA time and pushing back deadlines or launching unpolished. I understand your argument with small tweaks but that only applies if the foundation was designed in a ways that those changes would matter. With all the being said… the game is amazing and creepy af.
So looking forward to this. My husband and I Played this in the long long ago. Now we are letting our daughter play it and i watch. So until she finishes it i cant watch this whole vid. But I must hear Hollow’s commentary. He is the GOAT! ❤
I remember being about 6 years old, watching my older brother play the original silent hill on his playstation in the complete dark. This reminds me of those times. Thanks for the good feelin’, Hollow!
being afraid to stick your arm in the hole and just getting a number was def my ALL time fav reaction funny moments I have ever seen by you Hallow! I had to clip it omg XDDDD
I was one of those kids playing both Resident Evil and Silent Hill when they cam out. Now as a 40 year old it brings a new fear playing this. Not only are the graphics picture perfect but playing this with headphones brings a new experience. Being able to hear every detail now unlocks a new fear. I hope they kept the multiple endings, UFO ending and being able to unlock the chainsaw like the original. Happy playing brother.
Hey Hollow, I really enjoy watching you for a while now, you're actually one of my favorite horror gamers on YT. I usually don't comment but I have to point something out here. I enjoy it way more when you're not cutting your playthroughs a lot and it was VERY noticable here, I don't mind cutting but the cuts actually threw me off in this one. I don't mind if you're getting lost while playing, walking to the same spot 10 times.. even if the video is longer I do like seeing the entire experience - not cropped down. Just thought I should let you know and you're probably not gonna read this but yeah lol. Still loving it tho!
I agree.. I don't mind if the videos longer, I like to see the whole game.. not just certain parts of the game. I hope Hollow reads this! Either way.. I look forward to the next part. :3
FINALLY!!!! Been waiting for this LITERALLY FOREVER!! But it’s a crime to be playing this with an Xbox controller lol. Here’s to hoping my guy plays 1, 3, and 4 (OG) next!!
Ahh, I remember back when PS2 released this game, and I played the OG SH2! I was lost in the fog and found a deep look into the human condition once I put all the pieces together. It was so heartbreaking and evolutionary for healing trauma. Even those that have never thought about therapy as an option will find games like this…truly healing! James…damn… he has so much hidden trying to emerge. Angela, Eddie, Laura…then Maria…all necessary to to integrate his shadow
Silent Hill is basically a self adapting purgatory. It's not an abandoned town. Silent Hill sits on a font of some sort of power that has the ability to manifest the will of those harnessing it. Each experience is different for those who manage to go there.
Hi!!! I’m a original silent hill, resident evil fan and I just have to say I’m very excited to watch this now!!! The graphics are so beautiful and the clarity is so nice but will also make the monsters more terrifying! I’m glad you can experience this game and I’m excited to watch you play it. Thank you for what you do I love your videos 🖤🖤🖤
Loved this game when it was released like 20 years ago. I'm glad you are sharing this experience and I get to almost relive it once more. And I appreciate that you are really exploring the town of Silent Hill (not just running through it)
Yes!!!!! Finally, you play Silent Hill 2 remake. Ive been waiting for you to experience this masterpiece. Been looking forward to more of this. Thanks hollow
I’ve been ignoring every suggestion to watch this gameplay till you uploaded your play through 😂 I’m so excited. My Sunday is starting off pretty good now.
Hollow brother you probably won’t see this but it doesn’t hurt to put positive energy into the air. I haven’t watched you in years and love story games, remember watching you play destiny 1 when I was a kid, no I’m about to turn 21 and am so happy to see you more personalized and just a genuine eff-ing gamer that just. Plays. Games. Nothing more or nothing less. Going to resubscribe as you’re one of the last actual definition of a TH-camr to me that’s still active on the platform (Never unsubbed from not liking you just stopped being on this platform for a long ass time) . Hope you’re healthy and all your friends and families around you are prospering. Can’t wait to watch you play more games. Currently watching you mass effect legendary playthrough as I’m personally replaying it for the third time lol. Edit: I see you only uploaded one part to the playthrough :(
When it comes to survival horror games, Silent Hill 2 is one of my most precious childhood memories. It is awesome to see this game through the eyes of someone who is not familiar with the story. I hope you enjoy it 😊. And I'm so glad that you like the soundtrack because it is and has always been an essential part of the atmosphere in the Silent Hill franchise, especially in the first four games.
One of my favourite things about this game is the love-letter to the PS2 through the sound design, there's so much SFX reminiscent of both the original game and PS2 menu sounds, it's peak nostalgia.
I've been waiting for you to play this before I watched any new or old play through of this game! So excited to see ot for the first time all the way through with you as a gamer!!!!
Ohhh man I’ve been waiting for this! Remember playing the OG silent hill games back in the day not buying a ps5 just for this tho so I’m gonna live this game though you hope you love this game as much as I did growing up
you forgot that the enemies in the silent hill never die.. they just have a knockout cooldown before they get up again.. it is an endless loop. if you come back again in certain location, they will respawn again. that's how the game works in silent hill
I love that they added a lot more details and new puzzles! The jukebox wasn’t in the original game. And now you can break windows! I think it’s a really cool addition

The fog was originally to hide render distance but it also added to the unknown and unsettling atmosphere, and so became an iconic part of the Silent Hill series.
thank you doctor
and as long as i remember it's a mix of fog and smoke caused by the underground fire in the cole mine.
@@ANDREAS-uq9ck Was that the case with Silent Hill? I know it was inspired by Centralia, Pennsylvania which STILL has coal fires burning.
The remake is my first time playing any SH game and I wondered if that was the reason! Definitely makes sense and is actually awesome regardless

@@p8triotmode Do you have any idea how game development works? Obviously not. It takes a lot more work to just "add it back" than what you are implying. 6 months isnt a lot of time to do anything that you said. It doesnt matter anyway, because I have no idea where you heard "tuned back the horror for a more modern audience", because it simply isnt true. They didnt do that.
@@p8triotmode
You can usually remove easily… you may even increase enemy count…
You can’t ADD new things/events or overhaul the atmosphere without heavily driving up QA time and pushing back deadlines or launching unpolished.
I understand your argument with small tweaks but that only applies if the foundation was designed in a ways that those changes would matter.
With all the being said… the game is amazing and creepy af.
So looking forward to this. My husband and I Played this in the long long ago. Now we are letting our daughter play it and i watch. So until she finishes it i cant watch this whole vid. But I must hear Hollow’s commentary. He is the GOAT! ❤
Here we go! Was waiting for this!
يا رجال احب مقاطعك احب انه يلعب كل الألعاب كنت متوقعه مليون بالمية انه راح يلعبها انت أسطورة ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I did not believe it would actually come out, what a game deserving a remake
I remember being about 6 years old, watching my older brother play the original silent hill on his playstation in the complete dark. This reminds me of those times. Thanks for the good feelin’, Hollow!
being afraid to stick your arm in the hole and just getting a number was def my ALL time fav reaction funny moments I have ever seen by you Hallow! I had to clip it omg XDDDD
I was one of those kids playing both Resident Evil and Silent Hill when they cam out. Now as a 40 year old it brings a new fear playing this. Not only are the graphics picture perfect but playing this with headphones brings a new experience. Being able to hear every detail now unlocks a new fear. I hope they kept the multiple endings, UFO ending and being able to unlock the chainsaw like the original. Happy playing brother.
Hey Hollow, I really enjoy watching you for a while now, you're actually one of my favorite horror gamers on YT. I usually don't comment but I have to point something out here. I enjoy it way more when you're not cutting your playthroughs a lot and it was VERY noticable here, I don't mind cutting but the cuts actually threw me off in this one. I don't mind if you're getting lost while playing, walking to the same spot 10 times.. even if the video is longer I do like seeing the entire experience - not cropped down. Just thought I should let you know and you're probably not gonna read this but yeah lol. Still loving it tho!
I agree.. I don't mind if the videos longer, I like to see the whole game.. not just certain parts of the game. I hope Hollow reads this! Either way.. I look forward to the next part. :3
Dude you are on point. Really enjoying these long videos. I appreciate how quickly you get these out man
FINALLY!!!! Been waiting for this LITERALLY FOREVER!! But it’s a crime to be playing this with an Xbox controller lol.
Here’s to hoping my guy plays 1, 3, and 4 (OG) next!!
Great walkthrough with commentary. Looking forward to the next parts!
Yes sir! This is gonna be a good playthrough, appreciate you!
Ahh, I remember back when PS2 released this game, and I played the OG SH2! I was lost in the fog and found a deep look into the human condition once I put all the pieces together. It was so heartbreaking and evolutionary for healing trauma. Even those that have never thought about therapy as an option will find games like this…truly healing! James…damn… he has so much hidden trying to emerge. Angela, Eddie, Laura…then Maria…all necessary to to integrate his shadow
I remember playing this on PS2 and now the graphics look this good.
I'm so happy this is your first silent Hill experience, I hope they remaster Silent Hill 4 The Room.
Silent Hill is basically a self adapting purgatory. It's not an abandoned town. Silent Hill sits on a font of some sort of power that has the ability to manifest the will of those harnessing it. Each experience is different for those who manage to go there.
Hollow coming up with a detailed story for what happened in the town is making this even better than I expected.
The og is so dear to me man glad to see you play it
Hi!!! I’m a original silent hill, resident evil fan and I just have to say I’m very excited to watch this now!!! The graphics are so beautiful and the clarity is so nice but will also make the monsters more terrifying! I’m glad you can experience this game and I’m excited to watch you play it. Thank you for what you do I love your videos 🖤🖤🖤
I screamed when u missed the cash register in Cafe tex 😂
my jaw was just hanging there for a minute this game truly is stunning oh my
So hyped!!!! Literally drawing James Sunderland while watching your stream 🎉 my game is hopefully going to be delivered tomorrow ❤
Early gang, wooo let’s go Silent Hill 2 Remake
So different from Resident Evil with its threats. Resident Evil’s threats are Biological Silent Hill’s threats are all Mystical.
Loved this game when it was released like 20 years ago. I'm glad you are sharing this experience and I get to almost relive it once more. And I appreciate that you are really exploring the town of Silent Hill (not just running through it)
Soundtrack so beautiful
Akira yamaoka is a musical horror genius.
Nice finally Hollow with the videos of Silent Hill 2 and so it begins! Hope you'll have fun with this game 😁
I have never heard the term ‘flower juice’ and it made me chuckle more than it should have.
He be funny sometimes 😅
Yes!!!!! Finally, you play Silent Hill 2 remake. Ive been waiting for you to experience this masterpiece. Been looking forward to more of this. Thanks hollow
woaaah Im waiting you to play this game lets go!
Definitely a nice way to end a busy work day. Was awaiting this one!
Feel like you missed so many opportunities to loot 😫
i love you hollow i was just waiting for you to play silent hill 2 THANK YOUUUUU
I’ve been ignoring every suggestion to watch this gameplay till you uploaded your play through 😂 I’m so excited. My Sunday is starting off pretty good now.
Who suggested? Your imaginary friend? 😂
@@challenger516 TH-cam suggested other yt channels 🥴. You thought you did something there. Congrats
@@UnknownBlob-cv9ez Go out and touch some grass, nerd 😂
Hollow brother you probably won’t see this but it doesn’t hurt to put positive energy into the air. I haven’t watched you in years and love story games, remember watching you play destiny 1 when I was a kid, no I’m about to turn 21 and am so happy to see you more personalized and just a genuine eff-ing gamer that just. Plays. Games. Nothing more or nothing less. Going to resubscribe as you’re one of the last actual definition of a TH-camr to me that’s still active on the platform (Never unsubbed from not liking you just stopped being on this platform for a long ass time) . Hope you’re healthy and all your friends and families around you are prospering. Can’t wait to watch you play more games. Currently watching you mass effect legendary playthrough as I’m personally replaying it for the third time lol.
Edit: I see you only uploaded one part to the playthrough :(
I can’t watch it. This game is a must play experience 😭
Bloober team giving us old silent hill vibes but updated to today this does not disappoint.
Let’s goooo I’m so hyped for this game
Hey Hollow great video, I hope that youre doing alright with all that hurricane stuff sending prayers to you and your family.
When it comes to survival horror games, Silent Hill 2 is one of my most precious childhood memories. It is awesome to see this game through the eyes of someone who is not familiar with the story. I hope you enjoy it 😊. And I'm so glad that you like the soundtrack because it is and has always been an essential part of the atmosphere in the Silent Hill franchise, especially in the first four games.
One of my favourite things about this game is the love-letter to the PS2 through the sound design, there's so much SFX reminiscent of both the original game and PS2 menu sounds, it's peak nostalgia.
There you go!!!
I've been waiting for you to play this before I watched any new or old play through of this game! So excited to see ot for the first time all the way through with you as a gamer!!!!
What do you mean by what is that? 29:45 It is just a drunk woman in a gimp suit and you murdered the poor thing! 🤣
Lmaoooo
i cannot stress how much your voice calms my nerves. perfect for this game.
I’m on 1:25:49 and I can’t wait to see what he thinks of the leggy bois 😂😂
AHHHHHHHHHHHH This is going to be freaking awesome!!!! Thank you hollow for dropping this content!!
My heart feels hollow today
Ohhh man I’ve been waiting for this! Remember playing the OG silent hill games back in the day not buying a ps5 just for this tho so I’m gonna live this game though you hope you love this game as much as I did growing up
I wish you would do a review after finishing a playthrough. Maybe not needing a score but just your general thoughts
you forgot that the enemies in the silent hill never die.. they just have a knockout cooldown before they get up again.. it is an endless loop. if you come back again in certain location, they will respawn again. that's how the game works in silent hill
That " Mary where are ya babe, stop fucking around " was so cute 🤣🤣🤣
😊
Breaks every random shop window and car window but ignores every cop car lol 👍
Best day to upload
I love that they added a lot more details and new puzzles! The jukebox wasn’t in the original game. And now you can break windows! I think it’s a really cool addition
2:24:53 Part 2, Part 2!
This looks absolutely chilling! Sadly can't afford to buy it right now but I'll wait for steam deal. Great content!
Lol ur in the dark and u know that you get scared quickly 😅😂
I actually like the camera lighting dimmer like how you have it in this video. Feels more chill/comfy.
@6:23 they did such a phenomenal job of the graphics.
Literally staring at the same tree 5 plonked into the ground, not even rotated slightly
Shit like this annoys me so much
