70-74, there's going to be something horribly wrong with it.

Mike Tyson AI reviews with gen z 'humor' cutaway gags. Is this memes channel?

 

[SJRB]

Normies will like it, hardcore SH fans will hate it for its "creative liberties".

78% (because most reviewers are normies)

 

[Bartski]

89

 

[Dafegamer]

I feel uncomfortable looking at this

 

[Northeastmonk]

86 and that’s because this whole 48 hour play early stuff is a marketing scam. The preload hasn’t even started. I paid for it too

 

[FunkMiller]

60s.

Because - and I can’t stress this enough - KONAMI. BLOOBER TEAM.

 

[Diddy X]

80-84%

One of the best review channels out there.

I say 85-89. Getting regardless and hoping for the best.

 

[simpatico]

70-74 but I sure hope it's better.

 

[mdkirby]

I don't remotely trust the reviews. I'll be buying it tho, I like silent hill, and I actually rather like blooper

From what we've seen so far, what aspects of this game make it look like a lower tier experience to you?

Comparatively, with that recent Alone in the Dark game, while the motion capture for the performances was decently good, I could see the visible jank when any gameplay was shown so I knew that game would not score above 70s.

It's just hard to believe Blooper will be able to keep the game in tack with what people remember from back in the day. I feel like it'll get at least a 5 point hit just for not being done by Japanese devs.

This first part is exactly why I can't predict anything above the 80s in score. Even if this turns out to be pretty good, it will hinge entirely on veteran reviewers' nostalgia and adding on how overly picky the SH fandom is about SH 2, it means that the game has to be good enough to get over these two humps. If this game is great, I think that reviewers who haven't played SH 2 before will put their scores in the 90s, balancing out the veterans who might go lower, which would make it even out in the 80s.

I feel like it'll get at least a 5 point hit just for not being done by Japanese devs.

This is normally irrelevant to professional reviewers and does not effect score, unless this game is such an extremely bad botch job that they have no choice but to point it out.

 

[pnutboy]

Going 84. Will be seen as a solid success overall

I hope you are right.

 

[rkofan87]

my hype was good but now its 50$ or lower for me to grab it.

 

[Bkdk]

79 in metacritic, 65-70% positive from steam user reviews.

 

[Thief1987]

80-85 competent remake but nothing more

 

[M1chl]

Original game is like 3/10 game wrapped around 8/10 story, so I would guess around 7/10 with +1 for actual remake, not remaster. Just a guess

 

[sachos]

Based on the seemingly increasing hype by most people i've seen, i voted in the high 80s.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

Voted 75-79. More realistically though it will be somewhere between 75 to 85. Good remake, but doesn't do enough to modernise the game( QoL and controls, especially).

 

[Deerock71]

Team 80-84 here. If I'm wrong, it'll be lower.

 

[Doggyred]

Has there been any world on the performance on PC?

78 to 82

My only issues would be if they'll have the balls to keep the rougher elements of the story in. I've been debating what next game to buy but part of me wants to play this be Dead Rising deluxe knowing Capcom games tank in price quickly.

Might just wait on both and get em around the holidays

[adamsapple]

First review on OpenCritic:

The exploration point seems kinda odd ...

 

[genesisblock]

Going by some of the people here, it's gonna be the remake that surpasses the original in every single way and even be a contender for GOTY. So, I vote 95% on their behalf for the LOLZ!

 

[rapid32.5]

82/100 due to worse animation and choreography than SH2, can’t believe GameInformer rated the original SH2, 70/100.

 

[DavidGzz]

Purists who hate large headed women may scoff but I say 83. I never played the original and don't care if videogame women give me a woody or not so I think I'll love it.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

I’m going with an 85. But this is one of the rare occasions where I really don’t care what it averages. I’m not even much of a fan of Bloober and I’m getting it regardless. It’s a new version of Silent Hill 2.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

I'm going 83 but as usual don't care, hyped to get my physical copy Tuesday and dig in, it's been so long

 

[VolticArchangel]

Going with 85-90. I was initially very apprehensive about this, but I think Bloober deserves a chance.

Let's see how it turns out. The Famitsu score is a good sign of things.

First review on OpenCritic:

Too much exploration is the new "Too much water"

 

[Embearded]

First review on OpenCritic:

I am confused here, with the exception of the new addition of extended exploration, this reviewer has a problem with the original ideas then?
Wasn't combat janky by design in the original because james is an ordinary man?

 

[Dirk Benedict]

80-85 If they don't fuck up most of the original concepts.

 

[Madflavor]

First review on OpenCritic:

Game could be mediocre, but these complaints give off smooth brain energy. Not sure if it was him or Gamepressure who failed to understand the concept of timezones, but wouldn’t be surprised if it was the former.

I stated on this very forum, only like 24 hours ago or so? That one of Bloobers biggest Ws is making SH2 more explorable... wtf is wrong with these fucking people?

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Surprised at the high guesses. My confidence in blooper is so low, that I would be pretty stunned if it's over a 75

 

[REMAINSILLY]

First review on OpenCritic:

Complaining about a game's combat where the combat isn't the focus is insane to me.

Too much exploration has me laughing though

James can't pull out sick knife combos like Alex did. 4/10

 

[Imtjnotu]

5/10

"No infinite dodge roll? No twirling knife attacks? You gotta EXPLORE to find solutions to puzzles?????? Let's give this fucker a 3/10"

TBF they did expand the areas. Silent Hill 2 is very linear, it's just VERY good at hiding it. I'm guessing the new areas didn't jive but that's my 2c
