Removing the fixed camera angles was such a bad move. The way they follow the player around gives a sense of dread, and a feeling of being watched. They should at least have an option to keep the original camera.
it's the style of Supermassive Games to have the creepy fixed camera angles so...Ballistic Moon couldn't have copied that. Same reason the staple O Death song is gone, and I'd argue even the reason why the sound design has a horror/action difference. I still think the new studio did a good job, but you can clearly see "two different handwritings"
I really don’t think this is a remake, but a remastered. Unlike say Shadow of the Colossus or The Last of Us all the assents are the same with added detail and different lighting
I wouldn't even go that far - plenty of games have released HD update patches after release, and this is something that should have definitely been an update rather than a whole new game. That said, I highly doubt this game has any real replayability so just releasing an update for all the copies already gathering dust on peoples shelves would be largely pointless.
I still hate that they removed the old intro video with the "O Death" song, Its easily one of the worst changes they did. I can only hope modders add the original intro back in.
@@blackdoc6320 Even then the video that plays through this new intro is just worse, It shows visual spoilers for later in the game whilst the original was more creative but still fit the game.
The original was so much more visually interesting to me... new detailed models and environments are nice, but I prefer the mood and ambience in the OG, especially with the fixed camera angles. The soundtrack is absolutely abysmal and feels so basic in the remake compared to the one in the OG imo.
Man the sound design comparison is rough, feels like it wants to be an action game instead of a horror. The original had these weird instruments and sounds that you couldn’t place and the remake is just using drums and strings. Sucked 90% of the fear out of the chase sequence with Sam, felt like a mission impossible scene.
while i agree with your take on the music i do actually think some of the audio design is a lot better, specifically the voices. they REALLY needed an update and im so happy that they got one. the old tinny sound was so outdated...
@@dennisthemenace4288 The remake makes more sense being earlier in the day when they get there, the game doesn't take long before it becomes dark again to which as I said you can change the brightness/gamma.
@@singed420snowinit9 i dont think that scenes like that will have much change even if you fiddle with gamma. You just make it dark wintery haunting like the classic.
If you like these, you might enjoy IF games, text based choice games where the outcome of your choices is based both on the particular choice you make and the characteristics of the character you've made. If you want to give them a try, Fallen Hero is considered one of the best there is.
I like the sound of walking in the snow from the original better. It sounds more realistic to me. The remake hardly has any sound. I also prefer the night time from the start instead of going from evening to sundown.
I don’t know where you’re talking about, I watched the whole video and the only time it’s not blue is in the beginning, which makes more logical sense.
I like the original better. Especially when it comes to the atmosphere, the lighting, the faces, the soundtrack, the camera and the voices or the sound. It felt more oppressive and creepy in the original. It also felt like a playable movie in the original! I definitely don't want to badmouth the remake. It's completely okay. However, one could argue about the price... But the original remains my top priority :)
@@Aizex1 people who arnt even playing it are criticizing it, go watch some streams, people actually playing it are enjoying the heck out of it, as have I.
I know he usually uses the official releases when he does these comparisons, but I hope if he does a Silent Hill 2 comparison he at least mentions the Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition fans have been working on for years that fixed basically every single problem of the original PC version and even has a few upgrades like upscaled cutscenes.
Its not maleks acting. Ive seen him act in a lot of movies, he's great! But here - the animation feels way off for that sequence in particular. his eyes feel completely dissociated from the model
That's not it. They're outdated facial animations (driven here by head movements rather than facial muscles, just like Nick said). Which also serves as a nice reminder that despite how impressive games looked in that early PS4/X1 era (AC Unity, Arkham Knight, Until Dawn) the graphics did progress quite a bit since then, contrary to what some people claim and facial animations are a prime example of that
@@jackiemortes " the graphics did progress quite a bit since then" meanwhile RDR 2 still mogs all of the games in terms of graphics, and was playable on the xone lmao.
I really miss the original score, soundtrack and sfx, to me these made the game. I also dislike most of the other creative changes made, for example when Sam is taking a bath and the Psycho is in the background, in the original it was subtle and out if focus, here it's really on the nose as the camera moves and shifts focus from Sam to him
0:33 the original didn't run with a locked 30 fps on PS4, it was unlocked and fluctuated between 20 and 50 all the time. Visuals were great, but performance was not.
The issue is the remake directors compeltly have a difrent vision of what the game aestethic should be. Original was meant to look like a low budget horror flick. The remake tries to look like a overproduced movie. They dont udnerstand the original
@@thejeremymotleywhy the need to be so rude? Not everyone wants to blow ANOTHER $60 on a remade game they've already played, and one that doesn't add much at that. Spend your money how you please, but some of us would like to practice restraint and wait for a sale.
I feel insane cause almost every single time the classic looks better than the remake , what is even the point of this , why ruin the iconic blue color palette .
Something I noticed during the comparisons between each version of the scene where Jessica falls into the mines is that when 'the killer' is revealed to be right behind Mike, the classic version had a sort of clash that didn't take away all of your attention from the current scene, but was loud enough to spook you and make you aware of him. However with the remake, when 'the killer' is seen, all that plays is what sounds like a little squeak. Sure, you can hear it, but it doesn't draw enough of your attention for you to care as much, I think. Another thing I want to add is the new rendering; while I think it's pretty cool to get a better look at the characters' faces and how much detail is now put into things like clothes or hair, I think the original's sharper and darker shading helped define the characters' faces a lot more! That, along with the general color palette of the game with its hues of blues and greens (a common color palette you'd usually see in a modern-day horror or action film), really helps set the tone for it all! This could also just be me having grown attached to the original game after playing it over and over so many times, but I feel like the original is better. While I do like things in the remake, such as the shoulder cam, which makes things a lot easier to see when you're trying to explore the area for clues, tools, and totems, I believe the original is a lot more stylistic; with its sound designs and rendering especially! To me, the new rendering just seems like it's trying to be more realistic with the new lighting and such, which can totally be fine! But what makes Until Dawn special is its approach to horror, and a part of that is the atmosphere; how dark it is gives you a feeling of uncertainty because you can't see everything! I love this game so much man
its a remake considering it was built from the ground up in a new engine. A remaster is a game that is upgraded in graphical fidelity with no other changes. This remake isnt far off from the original, but it still is a remake.
@@MichaelM28 I meant to say remake. As you can tell by my ending statement “this REMAKE isn’t far off…” Reading comprehension buddy, something you should learn
I love the original game. I really dislike that they changed the intro and song for the remake - the song is perfect in the original. I am curious how the film adaptation is going to turn out.
Remember! You aren't forced to buy this, and the original version will always exist. Just imagine if this game was only digital to begin with, and out of nowhere, it erased from your digital library, and you were forced to play the Remake. Then, I could see a reason for people to be upset. But it's not. The option is yours and yours alone. I also see a sht ton of people flipping out over the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn remastered, and this is also an option if you wanna upgrade or not. You ain't held at gunpoint and forced to play the newer versions. Personally. I love the fact that you have the option to switch between the original or the remake or remastered versions. Gives me a reason to have something to do when I don't feel like leaving home on my off days. Some games will sit a long time or forever, and remakes and remastered versions make you break out that older game once more.
I'm really surprised you didn't bring up the fact that Raytracing is broken on PC and not only doesn't work a lot of the time (not changing the lighting at all) but also causes an absurd amount of noise on the screen when using the flashlight. It's really noticeable in game but it's also visible in this video even, so I can't believe you didn't bring it up. I had to turn it off during my playthrough because it was egregious
I’m actually kind of okay with this game (or games like it) are okay to be locked at 30fps, because the game is basically a choose-your-own-adventure movie, and films typically are printed at 24fps. Obviously a higher frame rate is preferable, but in this instance, it’s not a deal breaker
@@MichaelM28 How? They remove the original ost. O death makes the whole game. The blue filter is gone. It's replaced with a warm filter. It's buggy. Tell me again why it's superior?
@@blackdoc6320 I'm not nostalgic for a 2015 game. I'm 36. 2015 was not that long ago to me. The original still looks great, has an awesome art direction, fixed camera angles that suit this kind of game and it runs at 60fps on PS5. The original is superior.
I didn't like the changes initially and I still prefer the blue filter for most of the scenes, but I must beat the remake and it does look noticeably better on most levels.
Not that I would've ever imagined a remake would come out for this, but if I did I certainly wouldn't have guessed they'd ditch the fixed camera. That really needs to stop.
Picked this up for my wife to experience for the first time, & we thoroughly enjoyed it. Now she wants to play the ps4 version to see the differences herself. Still faithful but I like the artistic change they tried to implement. Intro song definitely annoyed me though
The best way I can describe how I feel about it is soul vs soulless. While the graphical fidelity may have been improved in the remake, they totally killed the atmosphere of the original. The original lighting, facial animations and camera angles made it look much more uncanny and unsettling, making it a much better horror experience
..what? It's literally the same game with different camera angles and improved models and lighting. It has bugs, but it doesn't "change" anything, outside of a reworked intro segment
to people who played it already. i never played this game, never even heard about it until it came to steam, and ive really enjoyed it. the original version isnt avaliable to me on pc so it coming on over with upgraded visuals in nothing but the opposite of a failure to me
@@thejeremymotley a poor port is better than nothing at all, but as a remake of an existing game, I stand by what I said. If the original was available on PC it would be the better way to play imo as this remake doesn't match the original intent.
6:30 this is one of those pointless changes from the remake, relocating the totems to their new spots. It adds literally nothing, since most of the time they're either the same totem but put 5 meters away from the one in the original spot, or they just switched up totems locations. The lighting is just far better in the original, there's an atmosphere and identity being conveyed that the remake does not match. I won't even talk about the sound design, remake is a let down.
Nick930: creates a videos showing completely backed up evidence and proof of the remake visually looking better than the original as well as showing many improvements made. The Comments: I don't understand it looks the exact same as the original actually it looks worse than the original and they didn't change anything?! whats going on here heuhh?
Every time... I'm sure they'll say the same thing when I post my silent hill 2 comparison. You can dislike story or artistic changes.. but the graphics are objectively better in most of these remakes.
@@Nick930 people are so tied up in nostalgia, it makes no sense as to why both versions cant exist be played and be enjoyed. if theyre such a fan of the game why would a new version coming to a larger audience with upgraded visuals be something theyre so against?
It’s not really about the game looking better graphically…. It’s more that the artistic style, and aesthetic was lost for “realism”. Also the music change is awful.
Same. Also the original faces looked younger, closer to early 20s-mid 20s. The remastered got everyone looking 40 so I'm like, "why are these 40yrs old acting so childish" throughout the whole game 😒😒
I'm sorry, Nick, but the original one is the better one than the remake. That's just my opinion. I just think that Sony remaking Until dawn is really unnecessary.
Because of all the games in Sonys library obviously it was this game that needed a remake and not any of their other series that haven’t had anything for so much longer
I remember when I first seen a side by I couldn’t tell which was the remaster and which was the original they both had things that looked worse and better in each side by side 😭
What hurts this game is the $60 price tag when you can get the original free on PS plus and or purchase it for $15-$20 bucks. The original still looks amazing. Having played the original a couple of times I’d like to pick this updated version on PC but don’t feel the $60 price tag is worth it considering it pretty much the same game with just some minor changes. I think $30-$40 would have done this game well and maybe a $10-$20 update version for those that purchased the original on PS5. If either one of those were options they would have gotten my money on this one. Now will wait for sales.
Genuinely do not understand the change to the third person over the shoulder cam at the back view rather than stick with the fixed camera angels. Its just a very weird decision
They shouldn't have changed the atmosphere of the game, just added the new choices and endings, the game don't have the feel of creepiness, its like re4 remake, where they changed a lot of the sound environment and atmosphere that it dont have the same creepy vibe.
While the remake is more technologically advanced, the original looks better overall. So the ultimate Until Dawn experience would be shadPS4 with 4k patch at 60 FPS. Seeing how rapid shadPS4 progress is, I'd say it might be playable even next year.
It felt the exact same when I first played it in the original version. His face in that scene is off-putting hands down. I think it’s meant to put you on edge with Josh straight away
i cant deny that its a good looking remake, even though i think it didnt need a remake at all. its like the last of us part 1 remake. no doubt its improved, but completely unnecessary as the original still holds up beautifully today. theres some artistic differences i dont like too, like the warmer lighting, and the over the shoulder camera vs a more kinda fixed one. doesnt seem like its worth a purchase if youve already played the original. ill wait till its free
If the thumbnail is an indication of the "hard work" they put into this game, I'm not so convinced. It looks as if they black lined, shaded and doodled on the original model.
Its objectively better but the remake certainly has its flaws that were covered in this video, I'm sure they'll be addressed. As always when it comes to remakes people are in the comments saying the remake is worse, I do wonder why these people are still yet to see not only an optometrist but a phycologist as well as they clearly need to judging but the questionable things they're saying.
12:42 those are some san andreas level animations on her😅 2015 looks way better at being an horror game, the remake looks like a QTE game with way less atmosphere

Picked this up for my wife to experience for the first time, & we thoroughly enjoyed it. Now she wants to play the ps4 version to see the differences herself. Still faithful but I like the artistic change they tried to implement. Intro song definitely annoyed me though
The best way I can describe how I feel about it is soul vs soulless. While the graphical fidelity may have been improved in the remake, they totally killed the atmosphere of the original. The original lighting, facial animations and camera angles made it look much more uncanny and unsettling, making it a much better horror experience
If a remake or remaster changes more than it objectively improves, it's a failure.
..what? It's literally the same game with different camera angles and improved models and lighting.
It has bugs, but it doesn't "change" anything, outside of a reworked intro segment
to people who played it already. i never played this game, never even heard about it until it came to steam, and ive really enjoyed it. the original version isnt avaliable to me on pc so it coming on over with upgraded visuals in nothing but the opposite of a failure to me
@@thejeremymotley a poor port is better than nothing at all, but as a remake of an existing game, I stand by what I said. If the original was available on PC it would be the better way to play imo as this remake doesn't match the original intent.
2:38 This just proves that a graphical update isn’t always necessary, just look at how lifelike the PS4 version looks compared to the PS5
Can’t wait to see u do Max Payne comparison if the remakes ever come out.
Sony's weird obsession with Remakes….
easy money
They still refuse to do a Bloodborne remake
Mainly with games that are recent
@@mohammadsaleem5990I can't wait for tomb raider buzzing for that
6:30 this is one of those pointless changes from the remake, relocating the totems to their new spots. It adds literally nothing, since most of the time they're either the same totem but put 5 meters away from the one in the original spot, or they just switched up totems locations.
The lighting is just far better in the original, there's an atmosphere and identity being conveyed that the remake does not match. I won't even talk about the sound design, remake is a let down.
Should of done a remastered like a lot of games.
Nick930: creates a videos showing completely backed up evidence and proof of the remake visually looking better than the original as well as showing many improvements made.
The Comments: I don't understand it looks the exact same as the original actually it looks worse than the original and they didn't change anything?! whats going on here heuhh?
Every time...
I'm sure they'll say the same thing when I post my silent hill 2 comparison.
You can dislike story or artistic changes.. but the graphics are objectively better in most of these remakes.
@@Nick930 people are so tied up in nostalgia, it makes no sense as to why both versions cant exist be played and be enjoyed. if theyre such a fan of the game why would a new version coming to a larger audience with upgraded visuals be something theyre so against?
It’s not really about the game looking better graphically…. It’s more that the artistic style, and aesthetic was lost for “realism”. Also the music change is awful.
@@Nick930it looks so much better. Since day one I noticed it, but after the narrative is settled, forget it
@@thejeremymotley Because sometimes it's a lazy cashgrab.
I prefer the faces of the original.
Same. Also the original faces looked younger, closer to early 20s-mid 20s. The remastered got everyone looking 40 so I'm like, "why are these 40yrs old acting so childish" throughout the whole game 😒😒
@@geminiblueYou need glasses if you think they look like 40 year olds
@@MichaelM28 well considering 90% of the cast is in their 40s, I think YOU are the one that needs the glasses 🤪🤪
Same
Babe, wake up, new Nick930 Direct Comparison video is out
I aint seeing no remake here, just a cash grab.
I was waiting for this
I'm sorry, Nick, but the original one is the better one than the remake. That's just my opinion. I just think that Sony remaking Until dawn is really unnecessary.
That comparison of Raimi Maleks face looked more accurate in the original to me which is weird.
It's getting movie adaptation
I kinda liked the fixed camera cuz over the shoulder looks like a mod, reminds me of that Ethan Winters movement mod in re8
The original looks so much better wow.
Because of all the games in Sonys library obviously it was this game that needed a remake and not any of their other series that haven’t had anything for so much longer
Remake is way too bright. Not spooky anymore
So turn down the brightness/gamma...
Game never needed a remake 😂
I remember when I first seen a side by I couldn’t tell which was the remaster and which was the original they both had things that looked worse and better in each side by side 😭
It look so much better now in my opinion.
The beggining of the game is a night and day difference.. 🤓😎😉
What hurts this game is the $60 price tag when you can get the original free on PS plus and or purchase it for $15-$20 bucks. The original still looks amazing. Having played the original a couple of times I’d like to pick this updated version on PC but don’t feel the $60 price tag is worth it considering it pretty much the same game with just some minor changes. I think $30-$40 would have done this game well and maybe a $10-$20 update version for those that purchased the original on PS5. If either one of those were options they would have gotten my money on this one. Now will wait for sales.
Not a fan of the game at all, but love your comparison as always. I really like the alterations of the cutscenes. Keep up the awesome work, Nick!
You gonna do a History of Silent Hill? With the new remake of Silent Hill 2 out now it couldn’t be a more perfect time to do it
play this game at 30 brightness. the lighting finally works at that brightness
Some of the original game face expressions on the old characters models look way better, especially Josh, and model too.
Genuinely do not understand the change to the third person over the shoulder cam at the back view rather than stick with the fixed camera angels. Its just a very weird decision
Prince of Persia baby where is it? Please praise WARRIOR WITHIN
Why is the flashlight cone so damn grainy omg and nobody noticed it? That alone breaks immersion in so many scenes.
babe wake up new Nick930 video dropped
They shouldn't have changed the atmosphere of the game, just added the new choices and endings, the game don't have the feel of creepiness, its like re4 remake, where they changed a lot of the sound environment and atmosphere that it dont have the same creepy vibe.
While the remake is more technologically advanced, the original looks better overall. So the ultimate Until Dawn experience would be shadPS4 with 4k patch at 60 FPS. Seeing how rapid shadPS4 progress is, I'd say it might be playable even next year.
A game that honestly didn't need a remake
To be fair, the lack of animation and emotion in Josh's face might be intentional.
It felt the exact same when I first played it in the original version. His face in that scene is off-putting hands down. I think it’s meant to put you on edge with Josh straight away
the old game still looks great, this is just unnecessary
waiting for your silent hill 2 direct comparison!!!
This game has aged amazingly, still got the original PS4 copy but of course I bought the ps5 version.
Glad i waited for the pc release, the games a banger
i cant deny that its a good looking remake, even though i think it didnt need a remake at all. its like the last of us part 1 remake. no doubt its improved, but completely unnecessary as the original still holds up beautifully today.
theres some artistic differences i dont like too, like the warmer lighting, and the over the shoulder camera vs a more kinda fixed one.
doesnt seem like its worth a purchase if youve already played the original. ill wait till its free
9:45 classic has more haunting Asthetics.
60 dollars for a 30fps remake is trash im glad i didnt get it. Great video as always Nicky
Wait... its not even 60 FPS on Ps5?
Nope. 30fps locked
Gotta get ps5 pro bruh....or just get a PC no psn required.
lmaooo
If the thumbnail is an indication of the "hard work" they put into this game, I'm not so convinced. It looks as if they black lined, shaded and doodled on the original model.
I like the remake because im not a fan of fixed camera like the classic had. But changing the "o death" intro song is very unacceptable.
Its objectively better but the remake certainly has its flaws that were covered in this video, I'm sure they'll be addressed.
As always when it comes to remakes people are in the comments saying the remake is worse, I do wonder why these people are still yet to see not only an optometrist but a phycologist as well as they clearly need to judging but the questionable things they're saying.
Wow....just about every single facial close up looked better in classic....
They made a remake..?
The story is the same as the ps4 version and no changes to the story no add one just mainly graphics so is it worth getting the ps5 version
What they did with the lightning...it screwed up the experience completely.
12:42
those are some san andreas level animations on her😅
2015 looks way better at being an horror game, the remake looks like a QTE game with way less atmosphere
The remake no one asked for 😂
It's weird that I know this is an upgrade and my eyes tells me it is but my mind tell me it's a downgrade.
The dark shadows and lightning looks away better in the original
