It’s happening…

It's true: Bloober Team is remaking Silent Hill 2. Talk about it in here to keep Remake talk separate from the original!

It’s happening…

Worried that it’ll be too on the nose like all of the Western titles. Looks somewhat promising though.

It looks like they're trying to closely replicate the original game's cutscenes (or at least what's shown in the trailer). I'm hoping that means they won't alter much on the story front.

I like what I've seen so far, aside from the deep wrinkles on James' mouth. He looks too old.

Surprised (and happy) to see that they kept the classic outfits intact. I thought they were going to go the Resident Evil remake route and modernize the outfits to be more "up to date".

The teaser is probably just conceptual and early, but hopefully the modernizing trend of SWEEPING NEW EXTREME CAMERA ANGLES is just my false early impression.

Looks pretty good and pretty close to SH2 so far in my opinion.

On my way home to watch the trailer but for now I'll just say I'm happy that they chose Bloober for this (even better that they brought Ito and Yamaoka on board). I see reception towards them is pretty mixed but I really loved Blair Witch.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. Even if I don't think SH2 needed the remake treatment over the other games, I'm just so fuckin happy to be going getting a new game period.

In any case, can't be as glitchy and tonally off putting as Downpour right?

So... A new movie about SH2 and a remake of SH2... I know I should feel happier but I am so tired of Pyramid Head. It is better than nothing I guess

Edit... Ok, I hadn't seen the other trailers but F and Townfall actually got me hyped... Ascension looks weird but I guess I can't judge it yet. It is like Konami is trying to make up for neglecting us all these years!!

Well at least the move to PS5 and UnReal V is doing wonders. This is next-gen!

Admittedly though, Kojima also pulled off something impressive with the PT trailer with art direction alone.

I’m wondering if we will see the other character’s point of view, like Laura, Eddie, or Angela, and their time spent in Silent Hill, or if the remake will focus 100% on James like the original.

My main gripe with remakes in general is that they pollute the original title by sharing the exact same name.

I was wondering about that myself honestly. I've always thought that I'd love another scenario where we get to experience Angela's trip through the town.

As long as they don’t take away from James’ story, I think it would be cool. And I also wonder if they are going to remake Born From A Wish alongside it.

Getting Born From A Wish style scenarios for Angela and Eddie is something I've wanted for years. I'd be so excited if anything like that happens in the remake.

They might have payable DLC's prepared for just that type of thing.

Like I said above though, I'm surprised that they kept the outfits exactly as they looked like in the original. Konami missed a great opportunity here to have new modernized standard outfits for the characters and then charge the players with 10 dollars to unlock the "classic outfits". Very easy and simple way to squeeze more money out of old fans.

Resident Evil 2's remake had the exact same name as the original too.

They could have titled it Silent Hill: Restless Dreams, or Silent Hill: Letter From Silent Heaven, or even the slightly awkward Silent Hill: Silent Heaven to at least make some distinction from the original release on the Playstation 2.
