In the original you picked up an items and get a description of it and you go on. Here you get the description and get reminded of it with the HUD popping up twice.
Eh not really the same, you get subtitle description of what you pick up is not the same as also having a UI counting how much of an item you got. I think making it more subtle with an icon an a number in the corner would be fine to not pause the game everytime but having a whole ugly square graphic on the right looks off compare to how empty most of or lack of UI there is.
I personally think this new pop-up is way uglier for one thing, but I mostly hate it because it’s one of many new UI elements that are really annoying and often unpleasant. Aside from the text like you mentioned, there wasn’t anything on-screen in the original game unless you opened your menu. I think it’s good to have it there for people who want or need it, but I would really want an option to turn it off, and I feel like they won’t offer that.
I really appreciate how passionate you both are. I love watching both your opinions on Silent Hill franchise as a whole, but I think it’s amazing that you both didn’t bash on the remake gameplay, rather give personal opinions and feedback
@YourFavoriteSon1 he was the guy who wanted a woman as the lead of the original film instead if Harry Mason because he thought a man looking for his daughter wasn't a masculine thing to do. Fellas, is it gay to love and go metaphorical and literal hell to save your child?
Judgement I actually think those were misquotes from a second hand source paraphrasing his opinions and I think they claimed something like he said the way Harry ran was gay or something.
I think the trailer did it, is not a great trailer , but is something as a SH fan i needed this, i need a new look at SH 2 in modern graphics, it doesnt look THAT bad , James face is okay, he always had that vibe of weird face guy even in the original his face is kind of odd (i know is because of the graphics, but still) The combat looks solid, it looks like it has impact. i dunno i think the game will turn out good.
13:29 the issue I see is that Konami is aware of how thoroughly the older SH HD collection was picked to pieces by fans and they are wary of going down that route again 42:18 Jared it’s funny because I legitimately don’t really care, BUT it’s obvious that they do! If they didn’t care about appearance then why are they deliberating making changes? That’s usually how I frame the conversation I put the onus on them first because I’m not the one making changes to iconic works of art they are. I think the film adaptation of Silent Hill was the best videogame adaptation despite the changes made to the story.
Regarding the Tomm Huellet chat at the start. My issue with him is that when it benefited him he portrayed himself as this all-powerful god who marched into double helix and laid down the law to completely change the story and “save” the game from disaster but at other times when it suited him he'd be ‘I barely even worked there’ Also pre-hd collection he was on every forum telling everyone not to worry as he wouldn't let anything bad happen to the cherished games, then 3 days after release he was on neogaf posting all “I saw this coming a mile away” and how he was completely powerless to save it from his bosses. He definitely revelled in being a micro-celeb on forums before the games came out and then was shocked when ppl held him to any accountability for being “in charge” and “responsible” like he claimed. Granted of course there were psychos who didn’t know how to behave like humans but we shouldn’t allow them to make all crit invalid. I’m glad he is happy and doing well in his post-Konami career tho. Regarding Angela, I think the first scene may be older unfinished footage that was in a media folder and has not been updated yet since it doesn't match the model in the later scenes but she is still far less detailed than the other characters (chubby ppl still have bone structure and not a perfectly bowl-like curved jaw). And I think her dialogue is too on the nose too. Like I can be fine with a different interpretation it just needs to be executed well and made with the same level of detail as the rest of the cast. I really liked James and Laura tho even with ageing up Laura a bit to be a more vindictive young teen than like a childish 8-year-old
I will say that we don’t officially know if it is 30 fps because the “stream” upload is only 1080p30 I believe. It still wouldn’t surprise me if it was 30 fps though
If you watch on the ps shop it looks way better. Smooth 60. I hate streaming services. Only concern is will this hold up with multiple enemies on screen
2 of the 3 only RU-vidrs that can make fall asleep, while watching their videos. Please include Salt Factory on a future video and it will be a legendary blast! Had months of sleep aid with Avalanche's Resident Evil Clones videos, and all of this channel's several retrospective videos! Keep up the good work guys! You're amazing!
One of my only suggestions besides thinking gun ammo should be scarce, of course, gunshots should be loud, like realistically so. As a player, I should be scared to have to resort to my guns because I also risk attracting an extra enemy or two. By making the guns seem heavier as a combat choice, the developer, in turn, gives the enemies a more intimidating factor. A trade-off that makes gameplay feel more tense. Do I use melee and kill quietly but risk getting hurt, or do I use a gun, less risk of getting hurt, and only waste two bullets, BUT potentially 4 or 6 if more enemies show
I actually really liked Angela’s delivery on the “I’ll be good” bit. It sounded pretty childlike like she was reverting. I think they tried to go with the chubby face look for innocence but it’s a little off from the rest of the design that she feels out of the style of the other characters. I don’t absolutely hate it but it’s just a little too cartoonish for the rest of the game. My biggest complaint is the design of the Lying Figures. They are not creepy and just kinda dumb looking. They should look like someone trapped in a super tight vacuum sealed bag of flesh or something but they look like an amorphous b tier Lovecraft creature.
The light being in brookhaven kinda reminds me of the SH movie where the dad is in the school during the day but the wife is in silent hill, or it could be an indicator of some sort of day night cycle.
I agree, angela looks… off. I know in the lore shes like 17 or 18, so her looking young isnt the problem. Its just her face, and her acting is too… sane? Like they said, she really needed to be kinda disconnected a bit mentally for it to work… i think in this remake she needs to look unhealthy and maybe have more of a dissociated tone. Everything else actually seems good. Idk why they had to change where james finds the radio too….
"oh, the notifications are so annoying" the original had that too, stop nitpicking everything... edit: at least you're both aware that you're nitpicking.
24:07 Im not a big fan of Jame´s face either,but i find it WAY better than the constant sad version of Blue Steel shown on early trailers. Also,I think the weirdness in Angela come from her lack of expressions.She moves her mouth too little
I work from home and this week I have watched the full Resident Evil retrospective from Avalanche and the full Silent Hill Retrospective from Your Favorite Son
Just weird to see James doing quick turns, dodges and a Dead Space Stomp on enemies. Kinda takes away from the "normal guy" idea. Idk, nothing from the footage of SH2 gave me confidence. It just looks like Konami saw the reception and sales of RE2R and said "make us that, but cheap". I really really dont like being so being so nageative but i think it looks like trash, its a travesty what theyve done to such an important game.
Both quick turns and stomps were in the original game tho. The only thing that wasn't was dodges but I feel like a "normal guy" would be capable of quickly backing away from extremely choreographed attacks instead of just blindly tanking hits. It's not like he's doing a crazy re3 remake or homecoming style tactical dodge roll lol.
I’m convinced most of the complaints I’ve seen are from people who didn’t play the original lol. There’s so many complaints I’ve seen against it that were literally in the original game. Dodges I feel like are a fine addition, doesn’t really change much and they look so bad I likely won’t use them anyway.
@@bobdylan1015 Dude, the complaints are all over the place, it really shows people just want to be mad for the sake of being mad. I've seen, in the same thread/comments section people bashing the game because the combat suck, because it doesn't suck, because James moves too smoothly, because he doesn't move smoothly, because the graphics look good, because they don't look good, that the characters are too expressive, that they are not too expressive. I don't think I've seen a more schizo fanbase than the SH2 one.
1:04:14 bro just look at that shot of James !!! Look how much emotion you can see in his eyes and face. It looks like he’s depressed and full of pain 😢. This game is for the fans and real fans will enjoy every second
Ugh you guys complain WAY too much. The HUD can be removed entirely they already addressed this. >_> Also the Hospital being in that orange hue.... maybe play Silent Hill 3. When at one point Heather is in Silent Hill after the hospital the town has an orange hue. #cope
I was excited for the Silent Hill 2 remake until I learned that Bloober Team hired Sweet Baby Inc 2.0 to sanitize their game. Then I watched the gameplay video from Konami today. I'm definitely out. I'm not going anywhere near this trash fire of a game.
You guys completely forgot how to enjoy a trailer/gameplay, you really talk talk and talk hyper focusing on technical dumb issues. Silent Hill is all about the ambiance. First time experience and you're pausing? Completely miss the point of this showcase. So disappointing.
Bruh if you live in America you’re American! And I do agree with @Danderfull %100 resident evil 3 is way off the original but is top 3 of my favorite in the series.
i think the fact that a lot of the criticisms you have are nitpicks is a good sign! i think angela looked good but meh at other times and i hope they fix her. i loved her new voice performance
