Silent Hill 2 (2024) - "Theme of Laura" Full Trailer | Official Konami 

damn right it is!

The new song theme name? pls from the last trailer at the end guitar.

Amen to you brother

@@Clara-vl2hpsounds like a remixes version of “Promise” from the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack

@@Alexandra-uk4vr I know what you mean, but that's not necessarily true all the time, and it wasn't true for many of the original trailers either. Silent Hill 2's narrative is very visual and less about the actual plot as much as the characters and James' manifestations. I am unhappy that no footage of Eddie, Maria, Angela, or Laura has surfaced yet, but beyond that, this visual collage is the same formula implemented by Team Silent years ago. I would have loved to have dialogue playing over the scenes with cuts to characters but alas, none was revealed. I still think this is much more true-to-form than the official remake trailers, however.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

LOL

that was so funny it had to have been an intentional edit

In my head automatically played "Ha-ha. Hey, wait!"

Exactly 🤣

same this is better

Me too. I won't be watching the 'real' one.

It’s been reported that for some reason,maybe a mistake. The combat trailer was from a old build that’s older than the trailer realised a while ago.

Probably because they put "Official Konami" in the title lmao

UNFORTUNATELY KONAMI, I SUBSTITUTE THIS REALITY FOR MY OWN! THIS IS MY OFFICIAL SILENT HILL 2 TRAILER!

"Lucy?" *Drops hit. Sees pyramid head*

that made my nipples hard

I agree 100%. Only someone who actually understands the idiosyncrasies of the original could replicate it because it's more than a game, more than a story, and more than any one thing. It's a recipe of many elements. I would argue the uncanny quality combined with the original intent of making a product that has that David Lynch/Jacob's Ladder character interaction is the most important thing. When offset with the epic soundtrack and atmosphere, you get something that's a monster of art on all fronts. But to replicate it is a virtual nightmare in today's culture.

@@StudioMod true, but there are ways to do it properly if you care enough. Putting blowing leaves everywhere ruins it. Silent Hill is a dead motionless husk. Wistfully blowing leaves are not needed. Black shadows concealing James's expression in the beginning are a must and absolutely can't be ruined, and yet Bloober managed to ruin it for some ungodly reason. The RE4 camera doesn't work for Silent Hill. Homecoming and Downpour were not well received. And yet... they're trying it again. Lol it seems like Konami doesn't care about fans' complaints, and that's a terrible start. This new remake is not giving us hope

@@StudioMod Yeah what made the og creation of SH2 work back then was specifically the raw experimental uncanny valley 1999-2001 game design and devs having an Innovative daring workaround mentality towards hardware limitations of that era that really created the magic secret sauce of this game . It would have to be a late 90s/early 2000s hardcore oldschool type of dev team that's not concerned with modern AAA trends and who hasn't been influenced by other successful modern horror franchises , and there's probably nobody out there like that working on the mainstream AAA level anymore , most devs mentally have been long conditioned now to copycat safe modernized game design methods , so imo It's unlikely a Silent Hill 2 remake could be done right by any current developer , and you have to remember Silent Hill 2 is a far harder horror game to modernize over a game like Resident Evil because It's a deeper more complex type of a horror game that never sold itself on jump scares or relied on flashy action... this Is probably the hardest remake anyone has tackled yet out of any genre.

@@fawkkyutuu8851 I agree. It's like remaking the era of gaming itself, which is an impossibly colossal task.

⁠​⁠@@StudioModincredibly well said man. Despite being someone who was literally born in the year this game came out, I can somehow relate to this. Over the past few years, I’ve been diving into older generation games and especially games of the late 90s and 2000s. SH2, to me, felt like the perfect time capsule and a perfect accident. The limitations in hardware tech of that era led to some ingenious thinking from the devs which all culminated in an experience which actually shines partly BECAUSE of those limitations. Whether it be in creating that uncanny feeling, or the iconic, almost claustrophobic, yet highly immersive ambient environment with the fog, lighting and camera movement. Not to mention, the soundtrack is, no exaggeration, one of the best videogame OSTs of all time. Every single track. I feel like those “limitations” are a part of the game’s identity and you just can’t replicate that with newer tech.

unrealistic expectations in combination with devs who don't put in the work, kill video games. The standard of today.

It looks like a faithful remake. IF anything It's exactly the same just update in graphics n design. Which might be a safe choice but a bit boring. I dont actually enjoy the "remakes" of RE2 n 3 and FF7 which are more like reimagining. But with the original SH2 I feel it had more potential, especially as a psychological horror (look at jacobs ladder) where as the limits of the time meant James spent 80% of the game smacking legs and nurses with a bat.

For real. This could be a dream come true, if don’t right.

No joke, I read your comment, and 1:17 immediately happened! Lol!

As a silent hill 1-4 die hard fan I hope it flops. This remake looks so bad and the devs + Konami suck ass.

Yeah the music change everything!

U dnt deserve shit 🙄 ur entitled for what 🤭 be glad they're making a remake at all

Yeahhhh. A bad trailer with cheap editing and low sound-quality can REALLY make something look miserable. Thanks for watching!

I mean theres also a limit to what you can do with that old build. I'd say that even editing barely did anything to save those clips, they just really seem like resident evil scenes but 10 years old

@@mccvvnuhwon’t excuse the poor audio mixing but he does some changes that makes it look more like silent hill than some horror cinematic trailer: Keeps combat and story sequence separated Takes out obvious game elements like QTE An overpowering soundtrack that dominates the trailer; makes it seem like one long progression instead of typical trailers that have an obvious “game scenes are like this!” And “gameplay is like this!”

@@StudioModI assume they are keeping it for the final trailer or akira is still remastering it

Soundtrack and Sounds are most important in a game. look at witcher 3. the soundtrack makes the game to a "good" game. the rest, especialy the gameplay is the biggest piece of shit, but the soundtrack is insane. turn the musik off in witcher 3 an you will notice , its a fuckin shithole. i am so hoping there is an option for the original soundtrack in silent hill 2 remake like in resident evil 2.

Agreed.

Then they both team up with Alan wake and Freddy fazbear to clap alcina dimitrescu's cheeks

@@GamPro420 what the fuck am i reading LMFAOFKO(KFSOkd

New james just looks at him and cries (its the only emotion he has now)

​@@GamPro420 oddly specific scenario

Why James would need veterinary assistance?

Lmao what's funny is that scene may display more emotion than the actual scene with his wife dying.

Are you real..?

@@coffinboy556 Of course. Didn't you watch the original by Konami and this one? The difference is huge.

It shouldn't be handled like the REmakes though, they both handle themselves very differently in terms of narratives. SH needs to avoid a more action-heavy focus and keep on those stories we love.

​@@aketsuuuUgh, it's a survival horror game RE games have set standards, RE4 set the 3rd person over the shoulder standard and RE2 remake gave a new standard to how survival horror is played. This is a good thing. You just dont like change and dont want to enjoy something. Take off your hate boner and calm the hell down.

@@mrplayfulshade1038 When you love the original game as much as I do, then you take these things into consideration. Any time Silent Hill tried to emphasize combat, it failed very badly. Because at its core, that's just not what the series is about. I've got no problems with updated combat, but it's the intent that matters. Silent Hill 2 is a psychological horror game, with the survival horror flavouring... Thing is, the survival horror isn't exactly a prominent element except on higher difficulties because the game is a walk in the park compared to RE. It and RE share the same DNA only in the fact that they are tank controlled survival horror games, nothing more. You want to like this remake? That's fine, I never really even judged the remake in that initial comment. I just said it shouldn't be aiming to be like the REmakes... If you're gonna remake a game, you have to stay true to it in some ways. If they wanted a more action-oriented Silent Hill, make a brand new game, not an older one that already set its own standards. That's just plain dumb. Follow the groundwork, improve where you need to, and satisfy the fans of the original release. There's a reason RE2make was so well received; it followed its source material well, improved everything it needed to, while still remaining a proper alternative rather than replacement to its source material (or an entirely new game). It's not that I dislike change, it's that I dislike when a game that was already critically acclaimed gets changed into something it clearly is not. I don't appreciate your reply too much for these reasons. Feel free to read if you want.

@@aketsuuu then why have combat or weapons at all? By your logic it should be a walking/hide and go seek simulator.

@@GamPro420 Because he is fighting physical manifestations of his own guilt and repressed feelings? This point makes no sense. The game having weapons to handle the monsters doesn't dock the point that it shouldn't emphasize combat. Did you know that before SH2, James likely hadn't held a gun before or swung a weapon? Yeah, doesn't make much sense for him to be proficient in either of those things. The game needs weapons so that James doesn't fucking die. It's not because it's an action game.

That's what I said. It isn't even the right facial expression, James is withdrawn and confused, not melancholic.

Sucks that James shows much more emotion in this trailer rather than being detached from reality like in the original. It seems to me that they're going to cut back from the uncanny valley these mentally ill characters gave off.

Thank you! :)

Kinda reminds me of Callisto Protocol

It kinda reminds me of last of us a little with the over the shoulder and the combat swinging with the plank which i wouldnt mind that i love the last of us. Too bad there was never a real sequel😂😂 see what i did there

I think they understand it’s psychological but they don’t know shit about psychology that’s why they hired bloober and the 🌈 it’s trauma 🌈 guys xd

@@ReligiousHooker if they understood any of the key elements of what made SH a gem they will know that most of the RE they are taking note from isnt what people r looking for or what SH is! Also who the hell focus on FIGHTING IN SH LIKE YES WE FIGHT BUT ITS NOT THE REAL REASON MONSTERS R THERE!!! We r fighting our OWN demons thats what SH monsters are about.

As much as i agree about your opinion, I don't think "static cam" are popular anymore. Sure, This looks like Resident Evil remakes but that because SH are look alike RE to begin with(RE 0,1,2,3 compare to Silent Hill 1,2,3). From the static cam, the survival horor vibes, changing weapon by pause. The only difference between SH and RE are: RE mostly about Zombie and Bioweapon, SH are about 1 mysterious town. Also SH can use meele weapon like bat or wrench while RE is all about firearms. So i kinda get why Konami did this move, So they can "Attract" RE players for playing this game. Not that it's a bad move tho but we'll see✌🏻

Attracting resident evil players by alienating people who like silent hill. No one said to keep pausing. We don’t want an another dead space and that’s what we’re getting

Ohio?😂

The evil within>>>>>> silent hill/reaident evil

@@EinegartenMadness.

​@@Einegarten bs

I like how it looks tbh

​@@EinegartenEvil Within is a copyright paste Silent Hill

I agree with you.

They have ruined their franchise forever.

That's something that bugs me. When are we getting a Silent Hill 1 remake!? That game is in desperate need of one and needs all the improvements that Silent Hill 2-4 got (like not having to increase the difficulty every time I want to start a new game plus. Seriously, that ruined repeated playthroughs for me and made me rage quit because it was so hard and tedious to get all the endings, secret weapons, etc.).

Yep. Pyramid Head is just the manifestation of James’ own psyche created to punish him for what he did to his wife. It’s self-torture. Pyramid Head isn’t even a “villain” in regards to the Silent Hill universe. I would go so far as to argue that Silent Hill 2 isn’t even connected to the other games. It’s more of a “Jacob’s Ladder” story about a man that killed his wife and keeps punishing himself for the guilt. When they made the bonus content for Silent Hill 2 starring Maria, it made me wonder if the original team that worked on the game had anything to do with it. Maria is a manifestation of James’ desire for love/affection. How was she a “playable” character? Silent Hill 2 was a deeply psychological thriller that explored the concepts of Hell, morning the loss of a potential life, and a redemption for bad people (if they choose it). I fear the remake team may miss these points - especially considering how many times Pyramid Head has appeared in other games since.

@@chrisfisk I'd argue that with Born From a Wish, we witness the first time Maria was created. Any memories or mentions of her life were fabricated.

@@troin3925 That was always my assumption, that the way Silent Hill works is so warped that Maria herself doesn't even know that she's not real, and the only one in on it is the town itself as it twists and manipulates its creation to fit what role it needs her to like some kind of puppeteer god. I've always had that theory about all the monsters, that even though they're technically not 'real' in a sense, they're real enough to suffer just as much as the protagonist because they're constantly being tortured and manipulated by an outside force they can't fight back against, and they're aggressive because it hurts and they want it to stop.

@@Pipkiablo Even Pyramid Head is in pain.

Are you Henry?

@@StudioMod I feel like I know him, but sometimes my arms bend back.

You, me, and everyone else too lmao.

Bloober?

Bloober Team are developing the game whilst Konami are just publishing it. Bloober Team... Let's just say are not the best are creating psychological horror. @@mdalsted
