It’s been a while since I played the original but in my opinion the Remake nailed the mood of the original perfectly. Personally I think It’s everything a remake should be (minus the lack of the sub-scenario)
spoilerMasahiro Ito (The art director and creature designer for Silent Hill 2 and the Remake) has said that James’s Wife’s Corpse is in the back seat of the car. It’s hard to see due to the tint on the window in my Screenshot, but the outline of her body can be seen under the blanket, not to mention that in the in water ending (basically the ending where he kills himself) James looks into the back seat of his car while driving it into the lake and talking about how his wife isn’t with him anymore.
That’s part of what i love about this game, it’s both scary and also has a really powerful story behind it. I feel like it’s rare to see a horror game like that
The stories are probably my favorite part of sharing the screenshots. It’s easier (and more fun) on Multiplayer games though imo. I feel like a lot of single player game’s stories boil down too “I made it to this point, I want to make it to this point next”
It’s been playable. I play on Dock so i can usually lock it on max clock speed. But at 720p it runs pretty smoothly. There’s only been a few times where I’ve gone “okay, there’s some noticeable frame drops here” but even then it wasn’t any critical sections. It’s worth noting though that I haven’t reached the end so that’s subject to change
I’ve already noticed that I’m pretty sure the Echoes are meant to be spots from the OG and I’ve already spoiled the secret with the photos too. I’m really excited to see more. The team really put a ton of care into it
I had to lower the graphics today because performance started dropping later in the game for some reason. I was fully expecting it to be noticeable with the drop in quality but honestly it still looks really pretty on the lowest settings
I played the OG when i was 13 on my shitty Acer laptop. It was an experience. I was doing the same thing while going through the remake when seeing the redesigned areas. Like I’d see a space and go “oh. This is where James first encounters an enemy”.
I’m a part time student. Maybe with next semester that will change because I’m looking into going full time. But I always try to put at least 30 minutes to an hour into gaming just to relax after long days.
I think being part time has just afforded me a lot more of that time though, which is why I’m knocking so many games out like this.
Yeah. I played my first playthrough a few years ago. I just finished my crushing run today actually.
One thing I will say after beating it is that I feel like the difficulty of Crushing really drew out combat encounters (at least for me), so it kind of counter balanced the lack of combat encounters
