Maria looking like a milfy 55 yo now.

I have very little nitpicks in motion tbh.

Yeah I was impressed while running up the street in town and the wind started to gust up.

Ha I didn’t get the trophy for trying to leave town. Anyone else just go with your instinct? I bets it’s from playing the original. It just feels natural to explore everything except the road leaving town.

First trophy I got lol Didn’t even know there was one for it. Was just doing my usual OCD explore every inch thing and it popped.

Finally about to sink my teeth in. Didn’t even make it to town last night.

I haven't seen her in game yet but going by how good I think the first girl(graveyard girl) looks in game vs. those awful screenshots, I am guessing she looks pretty hot.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Is this better than Alan Wake2?

Gaf hates AW2 so this probably isn't the place to ask

She's hot but they removed the ability to beat her to death. Now it just acts like she's thin air.

 

[Saturn Dragon]

As much as I like the original games. I think I'll pass for now. Don't wanna get scared.
Might as well play some Astrobot.

Is this better than Alan Wake2?

I bought, played, and liked Alan Wake 2 on release. This game holds the unsettling atmosphere way better than Alan Wake 2 did. Like if Alan Wake 2 had kept up the tension from that very first scene (where you play as the injured guy lost in the woods), THAT would be my ideal survival horror game.

SH2's combat isn't quite as good as AW2's. And it's more frequent that I was expecting going in. But it's serviceable and conveys desperation pretty well.

I'm three hours in SH2 remake so far, and I think it's better than AW2. But not by too much.

 

[JusticeForAll]

Back in the day, i didn't really find the game all that scary, but now that I'm older, I do somehow. Very good remake!

Watching paint dry is better than AW2

Breh, I am playing at my standing desk, I pulled the shades so it's dark in my office, the radio is emitting static, the creepy music and sounds are playing, and then my wife stomps in the room behind me giving me haptics from behind I didn't expect. Let's just say I paused, took my headset off, and walked away for a moment. I'll be back.


Edit: It appears I was given Neogold. I didn't see a notification so maybe it was anonymous. Thanks to whoever it was!

I went back and checked, thanks John Marston !

 

[Chuck Berry]

The sound design is fucking phenomenal. Already jumped twice. Overall feeling very uneasy already playing this which is awesome Bringin back a lot of PT feels (which was damn near nightmare inducing to me).

 

[bender]

Played up to the second save point but I think I'll save this for Halloween. My only two minor gripes is that I wish the fog were a little more encompassing and I'm not sure why the water level is so high on the first save point (peering down into the well is a little more forbidding).

It's also been a while, but weren't there growling dogs during the intro to the original? I'm not sure I heard them in the remake.

 

[Bloobs]

Dogs in SH2? I only know of one

Beware of the dog was the first silent hill.

 

[Thaedolus]

Yeah, do yourself a favor and play with headphones like it suggests. It’s unsettling as hell, just phenomenal sound design

 

[bender]

I don't think you ever saw them but it sounded like growling dogs near the farm. I could be a bad memory but I think that's when I nope'd out the first time when I got the game at launch. It was very, very early on so somewhere near the farm.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

Why doesn't this game do shader compilation on launch rather than on the fly while the game is running? I've read that the shader compilation stutter is present when entering new areas.

Not even Vedder approved? Damn. It must be bad.

 

[Nankatsu]

I don't think I can.

Remedy games have been boring since Max Payne 2.

 

[DavidGzz]

I loved AW2 but a lot of that may have been because I got to share in the experience with my daughter. Talk about amazing graphics. I think the downtown city area may be one of the best looking locations ever in any game.

You're almost correct. There's off-screen growls, very scary ones, right at the beginning of the game on the road to SH.

 

[Kacho]

I agree. Control was aggressively ok, if not borderline bad.

 

[Revolutionary]

Unusual colour for trash

Looking forward to the Game Developer Apology Image™ from Bloober

 

[LaughingStock]

This a game I'll only play after midnight with hradphones on.

 

[Luipadre]

3 hours flew by. First time playing silent hill and this is top notch so far. Atmosphere is off the charts and the audio is god tier. Sadly the image quality is messy even in quality mode, this one really needs PSSR man and the HDR is weird. I used the settings from that HDR video but still feels like its crushing blacks and even has elevated black levels at some places. Anyway cant wait to continue this tomorrow. What an awesome game so far
