People claiming the announcement trailer looked good but were trashing it on the first reveal...

The only trashing I recall in the announcement topic(s) was over James's exaggerated facial animations. It's taken a huge turn downward in terms of atmosphere, visual quality etc between then and now it seems.

Game looks scary which is an improvement.
But why is Angela designed like this? what were they thinking? lol

 

[FeralEcho]

This gen I got great games, this purely fault on Konami for giving SH IP to western devs YET AGAIN.......as if that worked out great last time.

Konami has zero respect to Silent Hill IP....ZERO!

The gen does have great games but talking simply from a graphical standpoint this generation is a joke....

There are alot of technically impressive games yet outside of Demon's Souls and Forbidden West nothing has floored me whereas last gen and the gen before it any new Playstation exclusive was a graphical powerhouse.

I agree with you though....Konami gives 0 fucks about this beautiful IP and I expect MGS3 remake will turn out the same way...This company simply doesn't care.

 

[Darsxx82]

Look like a very very cheap REevil.... and It is sad.

I don't like to criticize any game in this way (especially when it hasn't been released yet), but I think that the Silent Hill license deserved a better/biger return in style and what I see is far from that.

Bloober has made anything but mediocre walking sims. I don't see them making a jump straight to top-tier game.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Lol at the bargain bin RE4 combat with the "shoot leg, kneel, melee follow-up" on a fucking SH2 nurse. It looks so out of place and the animations are so stiff on top of it.

The voice acting is actually surprisingly bad and I have zero expectations for this. It's not off-kilter bad like the OG, it just sounds bored and cheap. I can tell they're trying to do that line straddle of being more realistic yet retaining the original's surreal quality and it comes off unconvincing both ways.

 

[Fake]

What a catastrophe.

Everyone here hated the reveal!

SH is one of the most important IP in survival horror genre and yet Konami treating it like absolute shit.

 

[near]

Silent Hill Transmission starting shortly, maybe there is hope left for SH with Silent Hill f.

I'm only a couple minutes in but this is way better than any trailer they've cut and shown off

 

[Black_Stride]

Did they take Angela believing she is an "ugly thing" literally and actually make her an ugly thing?

Mate after Hellblade 2 and Alan Wake 2 id expect this game to atleast beat those PS2 prerenders.

 

[keefged4]

At least the PC version will be able to mod in the original faces... right? Waiting for the transmission to start. It cant get worse surely.

 

[Fake]

What the fuck have they done to Angella !!!!

Holy shit.

 

[Bartski]

Hmmm that didn’t look horrible at all to me, unlike that previous „combat” trailer. All I want from combat in this game is not to be absolutely trash

 

[bender]

Maye something good will come out of this like another TRSHE video or two.

 

[adamsapple]

Everyone here hated the reveal!

Well, this showing hasn't done anything to change their minds, I bet.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

What the fuck have they done to Angella !!!!

I knew that face from somewhere!!

 

[Cr1ptkeeper]

Reveal trailer

State of play trailer

 

[Saber]

God lord, what happened to Angela? Did she get weight or something? Are they gonna make her closer to Eddy?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Thank you Capcom for starting the trend of every fucking horror game needing that same camera angle otherwise people won't buy it.

 

[Negotiator101]

Fuck's sake, what happened here? The game looked so damn good in the announcement trailer.

Bloober happened.

It does crack me up how shameless of a REmake rip the combat is. It's identical down to the reticle and timing of the shrinking if you "steady aim".

Watching a few minutes here and yea, I mean, it's like any remake of a classic Horror film. Sanitized, Hollywood-ed and any semblance of the weird auteur shit of the original erased in favor of modern convenience. This is what the Hellraiser 2022 remake is to the original movie.

 

[Traxtech]

And this is why you don't trust bloober with anything

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Wow, a shit-stain

It looks so bad even for Bloober.

 

[Fake]

Bloober is not even trying at this point. They just give up.

 

[Vick]

Game looks scary

It absolutely does not.

Genuinely speechless at those animations. Two decades outdated, no hyperbole.

But visuals are fine, more than fine actually. It's all the rest, Bloober should really be no more near legendary games such as this.

 

[Audiophile]

There goes Angela..?

More like Tarzan in the trees..

 

[FunkMiller]

Good lord. The frame rate. The janky animations. This looks so cheap and nasty…

 

[Kssio_Aug]

It is for games like this that we need a PS5 Pro!

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Bloober is not even trying at this point. They just give up.

Yes? KONAMI stream is just a meme montage at this point.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Gameplay video looks like they sat next to TLoU and RE2R with a notepad like

Spoiler: it's not.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

The frame rate on the Konami stream is real bad. Looks like sub 30? Needs polished before October, my God.

 

[adamsapple]

Pre order and get 48 hour early access and the dog mask

 

[Traxtech]

Be better off throwing the original through that new Ps2 emulator they're using. This is not looking good man

 

[FeralEcho]

SH is one of the most important IP in survival horror genre and yet Konami treating it like absolute shit.

It's fine "for me it's always like this"

 

[Markio128]

They should really change their name to Team Blooper, because those character models are terrible. It looks like they were created using Dreams. By me.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

What the fuck have they done to Angella !!!!

Lmao she looks like a regular person instead of an actress.

 

[Shakka43]

Framerate aside the game is looking pretty good. Day one for me.

 

[bender]

Bloober is not even trying at this point. They just give up.

I'd argue this is Blooper Team at their finest.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

As a big SH2 fan: I rather play Concord.

What the fuck.

 

[Traxtech]

The animation when he uses a melee weapon to hit them on the ground, wow. Hahahahha

Now this is WAY better.

The environments are great, imo. Love how they look.

My only problem so far are the character models. They suck, hard.

Combat looks meh, but anyone saying that they enjoyed SH 2 gameplay is lying. I didnt play SH 2 for its gameplay, and I sure as hell wont play this one for the gameplay.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Pre order and get 48 hour early access and the dog mask

This is a joke, right?
I mean, it seems obviously a joke, but we never know.

 

[Saber]

Wow, a shit-stain

I'm more worried about the finish blow he gives when the nurses are on the ground. Did you guys see that? Theres something really wrong with this game...what the heck.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Watching the gameplay now at Silent Hill transmission. Faith is somewhat restored. Atmosphere looks great so far. Graphics are pretty good. Maria looks fine from the little I saw.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Animations are 100% garbo, yeah.

 

[Barakov]

The fact that it looks somewhat passable is only thanks to the source material and not bloober. Definitely seems like the poster child for how some games shouldn't be remade. Or at least only should be remade by devs who are competent.
