Combat was shit at the beginning. I'm a psycho, I kept resetting every time I got hit. Now.. minus some stupid shit these asshole lying bodies do... combat is easy. Don't mash, hit 1-2 times then dodge instinctively.
I also found if you get an opening on them when on the ground, you can pretty much stunlock them to death if you are aggressive enough. I'm barely going through Brookhaven. Tons of stuff to find and tons of reloads/resets.

Good. I put everything on hard. I even took the icons out so I need to click everything to see what works.
Game will take me ages. It’s too good to run through it. Also, can we get a round of applause for the amount of in depth accessibility options. It’s not common outside of first party games.

No issues on PC so far but obviously still very early. Getting 60-70 fps with dlss quality on a 4090 at 4k with everything cranked apart from sharpening set to medium.
I really wish I could try the 90's filter without it cranking the obnoxious chromatic aberration to 100 and the vignette taking over 50% of the screen. Fucking hell, let people fine tune stuff like that in the game.

I wasn't sure about this option.
Is it worth restarting and changing the puzzles to hard if I'm early on? Will I miss anything story wise by having them on normal?
Also, is there no photo mode option? This game is crying out for one.

Me too. I don't feel ammo-starved and never went below 5 medicine. But I did die a lot especially early on, the only big roadblock so far was the first boss in the apartments, kind of a dodging skill check

How we all doing for the difficulty selections? I'm going hard on everything and it's enjoyable so far!
It doesn't seem like artificial difficulty.

For anyone playing on PC who hates chromatic aberration and film grain , locate engine.ini (usually in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\SilentHill2\Saved\Config\Windows) , open it and at the bottom add the following lines:
[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0
The first two remove the chromatic abberation , the second pair removes film grain. It works great but that's probably the first game I'm considering using film grain because it suits it, and also the original had it. But as always, it's great to have the option.
Also, Dlss 3.7 with preset E via DLSSTweaks works great!

They should upgrade you to Member for this.

Do you know if that turns it off for both graphics modes or just the default one?

Ok thanks. Looks like I'll need to do some digging to see if I can find the settings for the 90's filter.

I turn film grain off in basically every game but in this game I'd make an exception. It's part of the OGs charm

I am getting 60-75fps with DLSS performance on. DLSS quality was 55-65fps. It does have the UE micro stutter too. Noticable, but not enough to be a deal breaker.
As for the game itself - so far I think they have done a really good job. I was worried they would not hit the atmosphere of the original, but they did a really good job. The graphics, fog and sound are all really well done.

Alan Wake 2 had its moments, but it isn’t better. I found myself shocked hearing a door close behind me in the Remake.

Does the game support rumble on PC with a dualsense?
Was looking at the DF video, and yeah, that performance mode, while gorgeous, get's pretty fucked up thanks to lumen. What the hell are those pixelated artifacts on water reflection?
Better performance on a 27" vs 65" screen with worse performance.
I'm on the fence about this one, because the game is super atmospheric.

Started the game with the Shiba mask.
Immediately removed it during the 2nd cutscene.
Talk about immersion breaking, maybe on my next walkthrough

It supports full dualsense features.
Sound in the game is probably best I've heard.

Hah. You, too? I was going to don that one, but like you said, that scenario already played out in my head, when I was about to finish setting up for the Game Start.Started the game with the Shiba mask.

All fixes - Optimized settings, fps unlock, FOV, ultrawide fix, color fringing, etc. :: SILENT HILL 2 General Discussions
Optimized settings Under Display & Graphics, set Renderer Quality Preset to Custom to enable Advanced Quality Settings. Disable SSR. Screen space reflections are ugly in this game (as proven by this image ), and even without SSR, the game uses a combination of Lumen and cube maps for puddles...
Seen this and thought it might help some people. I have not tried this myself, but will do later and report back. Especially the cutscnene fixes on ultrawide plus unlocking the fps from 30.
Not Kojima PT demo level, but scarier than Resident Evil. Scariness is different though, Silent Hill is much more about feeling uneased.

I need help. I got the digital deluxe on steam.
I cannot install I cannot do shit. It thinks I have the regular version. I’ve triple checked the edition I have.
Wtf do I do!?
Edit: even though I had reset my pc I had to exit all of steam and relaunch it from scratch for it to figure it out. Was malding.

This is apparently quite a common issue. Try restarting Steam. If that doesn't work, log out and back into Steam.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
this is some serious fucking magic being done
i'm currently running this game 1440p @ 144fps everything on max settings + raytracing
absolutely BEAUTIFUL game and running so well on my comp (Ryzen 9 5900x, RTX 3070ti).

Thanks, man! Turned them both off since I didn't play the original I have no nostalgia for the grain.
Also, I restarted with everything on hard.

There's absolutely no way you're getting 144 FPS with these settings on a RTX 3070TI.

Can confirm all of the dualsense features work on PC (triggers, haptics, lightbar), just needed to use the controller wired and restart the game.
The haptics and triggers in particular are really well done when swinging the bat.
Think I'm going to restart with the puzzles on hard as well.
Possibly DLSS or FSR with the most aggressive setting?

It's really good. Apart from the very occasional shader comp stutter (none of which come at crucial moments), the PC port is excellent.

I can't attest for the PS5 version, but the combat on the PC version while using a dualsense is really satisfying. Has all the weight and heft you'd want there to be.
I assume the PS5 version will feel identical.
