Weapon system is fine and targeting is fine. The Water Prison puzzle is cumbersome and the limited inventory is a pain in the ass though.

It's funny seeing the cope from modern Silent Hill fans (who probably weren't even born when SH1-3 were released) about Angela's redesign.
"omg she actually looks 19 now instead of 40"
Uhhh she's supposed to look older - it wasn't an accident FFS. This 20 year old SH2 documentary touches on it:

I think it looks ok, some of those enviroments look awesome and the fog seems to look good too but there is something weird with the animations. The walk cycle animation, the way he holds the gun, the gun models it feels really clunky to see. The way his hair looks, its like its glowing/metalic, really weird. Right now its looking like a 70-75 game to me max.

No no no no. Please don't. If possible play the original on the PS1. And try to get 2 before even touching this game.

That's Atreus in a girl's wig.
Well at least you're not a little bitch baby about everything then. That's something.

Whats wrong with you people every time this game gets footage you people bitch and boohoo wine and cry. I just watched about 5 min of the transmission preview on my phone and it looked awesome. It's not a ps3 game. It looks great.
Also it doesn't need to look like death stranding or whatnot it just needs to look better than it did back in 2002 by a few gens and in that it succeeds. I'm hyped. I swear you people are either hating because Sony exclusive, hating because konami. Or hating because of being graphics whores and don't care about the actual game and other elements.

Ughhh she was in the transmissions preview. They showed them walking into the hospital together. Did I watch something else as it looked like re4 remake quality from my phone at least. ?

There is plenty to criticize about the game, to be fair. Animations are jank, the usage of cancerous ideologically driven "consultancy groups" is beyond retarded, and a few scenes feel like they are more over the top than the creeping dread that SH is known for.
But there are a lot of people who just hate the game because its Bloober or because it doesn't look like Horizon. Those people should be rightfully dismissed.

I'm literally amazed how you can give Konami the benefit of the doubt after all that's happened. There has not been a universally liked SH concept since PT and that's saying something!

Funny that a game like DbD can respect Silent Hill 2 more than the people remaking it. Sad.
It will be a mod available about a month after the nude ones.

Thinking about Angela, it could have been worse. They could have made her a trans woman and explain it that way why she was treated so badly. Like her father was transphobic.
Seriously, that would have been my pitch if I would be one of these woke awareness pushing people.

I'm confused, a story that touches on spousal murder, domestic violence, child molestation and abandonment and you want to have that presented in a cleaned up fashioned.... Why? I'm being honest, fucking WHY!?

Every Silent Hill is different.

Yeah but Silent Hill 1 - 4 had a certain vibe that was "yes, that's Silent Hill" for me. And for a supposed remake of Silent Hill 2, this does not feel like Silent Hill 2 at all. At least to me.

I'm pretty sure what he meant that is a departure from the consistent theme that is present in Silent Hill. If the title isn't there, everyone would think this is just another bloober game.

Maybe you forget all the Silent Hill media that has released after PS2/Xbox. Even on those systems Silent Hill 4 had different gameplay structure, mechanics, and horror inspirations. Silent Hill 3 had vastly different enemies and plot elements that flipped the cannon of Silent Hill on its head. Even the second had no discernable connection to the first outside of setting and had a very unreliable narrator. The only things that were constant were the movement direction being poorly tied to semi-fixed camera, map marking, and loading between rooms.

Yep! I need my next survival horror fix since it will be a while for the next RE, I'm guessing. Looks beautiful and I'm ok with the animations.

If that is the upper limit of it I am pleasantly surprised. They changed a tacky, risque outfit into something more practical and casual. Meanwhile, RE4 VR was censored to hell, RE2R turned Ada into a cunt, and RE4R fucked up Ada's characterization completely without any such consultants.

Ugly women in videogames is probably the most reliable thing to predict in the industry now. You know it's coming and never fails to materialize.

I don’t know, I like it now. I was disappointed last time, but I liked what I saw here (though Angela is a bit weird). I have hope again, looking forward to it.

How are they so bad at making trailers?
The 12 minute gameplay footage looks just fine. Not incredible by any stretch, but way better than the trailer. That Angela design is a big oof though, swing and a miss.
The visual style for this game is weird. It's like they wanted to emulate the PS2 graphics in a way, there's a weird combination of sharpness/muddiness to everything. If they deliberately did this then that's actually pretty cool. But since it's Bloober, who knows...
