SILENT HILL 2 - Gameplay 

Thanks for having the original music. That was crucial

Can't wait for October.

I don't know if anybody noticed, but i love the small detail when james turns his head when the character sees something interesting. It was like that in the ps2 game😮

The real question is… will there still be the silent hill trivia game in the elevator?

I'm soooo grateful James doesn't get a model change with the shotgun on his back or anything. Keeping James looking as unempowered and vulnerable as he starts out is a nice touch.

Crawling into blood trailed dark hole is such a James thing to do

I am genuinely impressed by the acting and animation in the cut scenes. Subtle details up to the point of James slightly smacking his lips before asking Laura about her letter... Very well made. Officially my most anticipated game this year.

One can tell you guys at Bloober deeply care about Silent Hill and want to do right by the fans, of whom you are a part. The game still needs some polish, but you are getting there. Thank you.

Much better. I think the animations still need a little work, but it's so so much better now

My god, this is waaaaaay better than the first trailer few months back. I love it! ❤️

absolutely love how he interacts with objects!!! i hope the game turns out good, it's hard to deal with a remake when you're so used to a game you plaued multiple times

I think us fans will go nuts if they drop a final trailer exactly like the intro for the og silent hill 2 back in day,with Maria talking to James behind bars and the Theme of Laura's kicking in...maaan i would lose my shit with that trailer

James facing his personal demons with a shotgun.

“Let me out, ya little rat!!” “See ya FART FACE!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love the fact that there is no HUD with distracting icons like in other games

Love how they kept the 2001 character movement 😂

I know the team is reading this. I'm really happy you guys heard the feedback from the community since the last trailer and transmission. The game looks gorgeous, the animation is improving but still a work in progress. It's overall a little stiff and in need of more frames. The fight look visceral and much better than the original, encounters now seem to matter while the original could be avoidable or felt like a nuisance. Some character faces could be improved (Angela for instance). Meanwhile James (and Laura) facial animation is already incredible, if we can reach the same level with the other characters this game will be a blast. Please make sure the game runs smoothly on release. This is really important for a game success nowadays. I am sure you will be able to pull the first Silent Hill after this. Thank you!

While I have my problems with it this still looks really good so far and I love the little details like James updating the map by actually marking it, it's such a nice touch.

Only a little changes: * Design of Angela (expressions of her face, more sadness. * Design of Mary (more mysterious, her eyes must have a sadness expression mixed sexy). * Sound effect of nurses, the effect must be more human but shattered, like the original, like a woman shattering, not like a beast. The game looks great, amazing. Good job!

>limb damage >ammo is actually scarce >weighty ass hits from your pipe weapon and enemies deal significant damage holy shit Silent Hill 2 is actually a survival horror game now and not a horror game that plays like a shitty version of RE1.

Honestly this looks way better than the last gameplay trailer. Doesn’t feel as robotic and goofy. And it works extremely well for something that fits modern gaming standards. Dodging may be iffy to some but at least he isn’t parrying these monsters. Makes more sense to dodge.

My literal only complaint is the red filter for when you’re hurt. It’d be way cooler if your controller rumbled like the original and the LED on the controller was red.

So much I love about this gameplay reveal, but one of my favourite things is the way James looks when making certain comments and more subtle reactions in the cutscenes, it looks so natural (the "Goddamnit..." and "What?" comments near the end, for example). Obviously, props to the voice actor and to the people working on the mo-cap/animations. Keep it up! :D

It's so awesome how all of the HUD elements are diegetic, or in the actual gameplay. There's no pause to take you out of the game like the Dead Space games. I love that it keeps you in the game.

The media trailers did no justice. Was super concerned earlier today. This just ended those concerns.

This is looking phenomenal so far. Glad the QTE bull was removed and replaced with just an animation. The game is beautiful, combat is modern but still looks limited like the original, and the adjustments to the environments and sequences arent out of place.

Will they be making a remaster soon and how can i play this on a 4K as the ps2 wont plug

It was nice to see some actual gameplay. I've watched this on a couple different channels now. I'll watch it again. Pre-order is already done!

You guys did great with fog and lighting. This definitely has SH2 vibe. Can't wait to play it.

was not expecting this tonight

This looks incredible. Combat looks much more improved from the first gameplay footage, and facial expressions and voice acting is amazing. Bloober looks to be doing a great job so far. Hope they keep it up!

They really heard the community and improved the game so much its actually cool. Mary's new design is very beautiful and i love that they changed james color hair. What i have a problem (not a big deal tho) is the lack of fog ik the city and it will be much cooler if when you attack the monsters they have visible wounds. Also the combat looks incredible good, its feels like a silent hill combat but with many improvements

Now THIS looks like Silent Hill. Definitely the first game I'll be playing when I get my hands on a 5090.

To be honest it looks damn awesome. Far better than it looked on previous trailers!

Bloober Team, this is looking great! I played Silent Hill 2 when it came out over 20 years ago and I am excited to play this version. Keep up the great work and take these encouraging words from a long time Silent Hill fan!

Way better quality than the transmission stream thanks for uploading looking forward to it

Thank you bloober team for giving this your best shot. Regardless of what happens when it releases, I still want to applaud you for taking on this massive challenge. All of the criticism you received when the second trailer came out wasn’t fair and I think you deserve a chance to prove that you can make awesome games.

I can only imagine that October night with headphones on

Can you save during the game or is it auto save

2:04 i think add some more animations when James open the door will make it looks better. In reality, when you smell something dangerous, you will want to slowly open the door and look around for a sec

This looks dreamy af. THIS is Silent Hill. We're so back boisss!

I don’t understand why anyone is complaining, yeah the frames look a bit janky but apart from that I think it looks great. The atmosphere and music is all on point so looks good

Huge relief after the previous footage we saw. I am now really looking forward to stepping into this nightmare once again. The environments look gorgeous, the animations and faces look convincing and I am happy with the way James character seems to be portrayed. Just hope it can deliver on a technical front on release.

The cutscenes look amazing, just stunning. The gameplay itself still seems stiff, but much better than what we saw in that first trailer

Bloober Team, I must say I am very impressed. You proved your worthy role of bringing a lot of care into this game. I’ll be waiting for 10/8/24.

I wish for SH3 to get the same treatment.

Bloober Team, you guys are actually doing pretty dang good with this project! It is unfortunate that the marketing team does not understand your product, as they focused too much on the action. If the game is further polished by release, you guys might have a winner on your hands. I am excited for October now.

The game needs to be more dark, the lantern its almost for nothing, more dark ambiences please.

In my restless dreams, I see that town… In beautiful 4K ❤️

I’ll be honest with you guys, this is exceeding my expectations thank you for getting silent hill back on track

10:48 that moment in a scary game where you're like, yeeaah I'm not walking in there yet 😂

simply excellent. the ONLY thing I miss is the sound effect when picking up an item

This was a great trailer. The beginning part made me feel like I need a blanket. They’ve got the atmosphere down pat I think.

Something that annoyed me with the previous gameplay trailer was that when Bloober Team actually called out Konami for marketing it badly (even to the point of using older footage), I saw a comment that said something along the lines of "lol, they're gonna get fired for saying something like that." DUDE! We're in a day and age when this kind of thing was applauded because we hate seeing corporations getting away with this, and yet this one time, that commenter laughed at it (I can't remember where I found it or how many likes it got). Do they hate this company so much that they're willing to make fun of this when they would obviously have the opposite reaction if it was someone else that they liked!?

This is pretty incredible. The voice acting is a highlight, and they definitely nailed the atmosphere

this isn't the final product right? it's still on the works?

I honestly believe bloober is really trying their hardest on their game, but adapting one of the most critically acclaimed horror games into an era of high-fidelity graphic trends and modernized gameplay is an uphill battle. The voice acting is better than the silent hill collection, but it feels like they didn't wanna try and retread that stilted vibe that made the OG's acting so iconic and atmospheric. Im sure it wont be the SH of everyone's dreams. But i can bet that people would look back at this as a genuine effort to remake silent hill 2. At least more fondly than Homecoming and Downpour.

Thank you guys for being fully transparent like this! It's clear you care about the game and that's ultimately the one thing that matters, because if anything has squandered previous Silent Hill games it is the lack of care for the source.

I can’t wait to play through this! Silent Hill is one of my favorite series ever! Remember playing the first when it was released.

So glad I preordered the deluxe edition. This looks amazing! Super stoked to see what you guys accomplished!

You guys are knocking it out of the park. Will be playing day 1 =)

The audio team coming in with their A-game! Audiowork is something most people take for granted these days, so I'll come out and say it: thanks for all the hard work, the game sounds amazing!

So, are we getting in october on steam or no?

My only gripe is why are the monsters alerting themselves before the radio goes off and sometimes they're louder than the radio, the radio is meant to say "HEY something is around" but its for you to find where they are.

This looks a ton better than that travesty trailer they released for us before. It looks so fucking good its unreal. I am so impatient to play this again, having played the first silent hill on PS1 this game coming out for my PS5 is a dream come true

They nailed the atmosphere of Silent Hill almost perfectly.

This gameplay looks way better than the last video, I can't wait to play! Also atmosphere and music is really beautiful ❤️

This is some of the Bloober teams best work. Can’t wait to see

The facial animations are great. The subtle details in the eyes and other things, like when James crooked his jaw around 11:48 really sell it

Been waiting on this FOREVER!

What the hell are these gaming portals talking about???This looks perfect...

Thank u Bloober, this is the perfect remake! ❤ THANKS!!!!

You doing a really good job man ♥ Just don't rush, take your time and polish some details, but it looks AMAZING!

I wonder if I can play it on an rx 580 2048 so video card?

congrats blooberteam ! for me this is a great remake for one of the best Silent hill I have played, will relive it again on october ❤ will also buy my own rig for this kudos guys see ya in october, wavin' from the philippines!

3:14 I don't like it when game devs add effects on screen or shaking, hope there is a option to disable it.

This is freaking awesome! It really feels like SH2 now! Thanks! 🙂

Thank you guys for working on this despite the criticism. Looking stunning, can't wait for October

Congratulations bloober team!! I know how much this game means to you! And you executed it FLAWLESSLY. This looks better than i could ever imagine. I got my pre-order immediately!!

Mannn I'm so proud of blooper team!!!

A treat from hell. Great work from Bloober Team! As a fan of a series that changed my perspective on horror forever, this feels like Christmas! A new generation will get to know what the fuss was all about. Peerless!

This. Looks. Great. The original Silent Hill 2 is one of my all time favs, and i couldn't be more excited for this!

OK I'm sold now, this looks like proper Silent Hill. I kinda knew after The Medium that Bloober is capable of creating a spooky atmosphere and that some solid picture quality/fidelity will be there. This looks like your best work. Of course Yamaoka will massively help with creating that menacing sense of fear, just get his ambient stuff on the front and it will all come together..I want to be spooked and that gameplay showed glimpses of that so can't wait to see that town on Oct 8th!

The only things that can suggest before release is some things movement. The walking could be smoother and when he runs it can progress from a walk to a fast walk to a sprint instead of just a full spring from walking, just to add realism. And when he stops running he can slow down and then stop instead of just freezing. And just for fun, when the enemies are down and he still hits them, I’d like to see him hit the enemies in a more serious and aggressive way. That’s all, thank you,

The only thing that doesn't convince me is the movement of the flashlight, it seems that James moves it with his eyes. In the original game it moved with the protagonist's body and I think that should be kept, if they wanted the flashlight to move with the eye at least add the detail of holding it with his hand from his shirt and moving it in a range from left to right . All this would help make the combat more uncomfortable since in the fights the light would shake giving the rawest and most unstable feeling. At the same time, there could have been possible glitches in the way the flashlight flashed or went out for a few seconds, causing James to tap it to turn it on. As an additional point, I would like the grain effect to be added to the graphic options in case someone wants to activate it as it happened in the old game.

Dear bloobers, i hope you will make animations smoother, because now it's looks kinda James has a tremor or something. And i notice, that Laura looks like Aria Stark from Game of thrones. Great job and great face animations. Atmosphere feels through the phone

Thank you bloober! Im liking what im seeing. As the classic sh fan. I can say this is going to be the new yet nostalgic experience of the iconic horror game. Hopefully this game will be the turning point towards success for the studio, the new team silent 👍👍👍

Looks great. The facial animation is INSANE

Amazing job guys also incredible gameplay. Keep it going!

Angela model from the trailer and Laura model from the gameplay are very different in order to quality. Did they use different states of game development for each trailer?

This game looks incredible! The effort gone into it is obvious. I can't wait!

2000s vibe all over again. I genuinely think they did a good job creating the game and the atmosphere and I know it's going to feel even better playing it!

I just really hope they don't rush this

Will there be a film grain option like the original game had?

Can't wait for this one. Please do Silent Hill 1 as well

Looks very good. This is silent hill 2 I have been waiting for!

For me...till this day.i still consider silent hill 2 isbthe greatest survival horror game ever made.and i like this remake.and hopefully will be another masterful silent hill like this in future.

3:53 I like that he used his stick weapon to break things. It reminds me of Silent Hill: Homecoming where Alex Shepherd used his weapons to progress to the next area, like a knife that's a key or an axe to break down a blocked door. Homecoming was underrated.

I think this looks absolutely AMAZING keep up the great work Bloober! Can’t wait! 🔥

James is always bright. As if he is always illuminated by a hidden light source.
