#teambelieveinBloober on the ropes right now. Legs about to go.

Theyre about to tap!!

 

[Ronin_7]

You guys complain a lot, but everything looks great.

I'll be playing on Sunday while you'll be analyzing things. We're not the same.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Didn't know about that.

Spoiler: Extra

I wouldn't trust Bloober either after playing their licensed games

Western media and supposed "purists" wants to burry it and memory hole it, and still "blame Bloober" meme.

At least there is a semi-AAA studio keeping psychological horror games alive. Outside of a handful of indies, it's not a genre being pushed by big AAA other than campy action jump scare "horror."

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I never played SH games, but comparing the vids, the newer version seems ok with me. It's a bit different as it seems more down to earth, while the old game was more exaggerated. Depends what you want in cut scenes.

 

[MadchesterManc]

For a news guy, you sure are slacking? Trying to push an agenda?

We learned at this year's TGS, that Konami and Ito had more control over the project than Bloober. That Bloober wanted to remain a faithful copy to the original, and Konami/Ito stepped in and made changes. Nobody wants to ever blame the sacred Japanese designers, eh? Even though they admitted on stage at TGS to controlling the project and all of it's changes from designs to music to camera angles and boss fights/controls.

If people have their panties in a twist, the blame falls on Konami and the OG designers like Ito.

I've always thought this new SH2 was more along the lines of Capcom's REmake series of Resi games than a faithful remake of the original. Konami's messaging has been pretty much hinting at that angle as well I guess folk weren't really paying attention this whole time

I think a big problem is fans have analyzed so hard in the decades since release that they made up hidden meanings.

 

[Flabagast]

Man people really want to be upset no ?

As someone detached from this project, I didn't know. That is odd though. Konami don't usually care going by previous attempts.

[GudOlRub]

Imma be real, I'm enjoying James' new voice acting way more than the original.
Maria seems to be quite a downgrade though...

 

[luca_29_bg]

I knew Bloober would fuck this up. Every game they make is like this with shite cinematics, stiff animation and usually shit performance. The Medium was an absolute slog.

Deep deep sale next year. Just play the superb enhanced pc edition of the original.

You can enhance it as much as you want, it's a game 23 years old, and it looks like shit today. There is nothing superb about it!

 

[AtomicStarving]

Holy Jaw

 

[DonF]

they turned fugly up to 11

 

[Bloobs]

To be fair, I don't think those other publishers were as hands on as Konami. At all. Can't help but agree with DeepEnigma here.

But Delta Snake is as faithful as it can be. They dont want to change Kojima's masterpiece I guess.

 

[Puscifer]

Man...what is this? The camera angles are awful, Maria is so stiff in her movements and her behavior doesn't resemble her personality. And why does her voice actor sound so bored? And why is her head so big? The original Maria had wider shoulders and normal proportions, why do developers insist to make women like this in modern games?

Goddammit, I knew hiring Bloober Team to do this was a mistake

New James has really grown on me, but damn Maria has less personality than a cardboard box.

Yeah I should say that ito has even said on Twitter multiple times that he would like to "fix the art for hd televisions" and he got his chance. I can't blame bloober in this case, FWIW they got what they wanted. I doubt many of the other team members who made the game were on board.

Reviews will be out in 15 hours. I still predicting this will be their best reviewed and succeseful game.

You just wait, if it scores 88-92. Everyone will magically remember Konami and Ito involvement and not give a lick to Bloober.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Very valid point, but I'm sure it's because it's a different Konami team overall. You know the new Konami SH team vs whoever is helming Delta. Not sure what the variables are, but it's clear the Konami SH2 team wanted to change things.

 

[Draugoth]

My guess it will be 81-83. But 88 would be crazy and make it sell a million copies in a day.

The OG SH2 is pretty short, Bloober made the right choice in expanding it

Definitely. Game sucks, "Thanks a lot Bloober!"
Game is decent/solid, "Thanks a lot Konami!"

Very true! Had to fluff it up in areas to fill it up better. Just have to hope that they made some good choices.

 

[K' Dash]

I wish these remakes of old games would actually be good... so the demand of the original versions is lowered and I can buy them more cheaply.

Did that actually happen with RE2 and RE4?

 

[Draugoth]

Looks the reason Maria has a big head is because the actress has a big head

 

[luca_29_bg]

The Maria actress was pregnant during the motion capture sessions.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Big head inclusion.

 

[Gamerguy84]

I watched a couple comparisons and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be offended by.

Some of you guys that hate everything need a new hobby.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Theyre about to tap!!

Most PC gamers will have to play it looking like PS2 on their weak rigs.

 

[GymWolf]

It is a downgrade.
Even the soundtrack sounds worse. Feel bad for anyone experience this masterpiece with the Remake.
RIP.

What is wrong with her? Did she just read the last issue of edge?

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Definitively not enough darkness and fog.

 

[Matsuchezz]

The fact that they tamed her sexual appeal by a lot ????? are you like blind ? Thats how the og authors intended it, who the heck are these polish dudes to change that.

You are all fired up like if your not with me you are against me.

I gave you proof, you are just doing what a classic leftist does, gaslighting everyone , that doesnt work here friend

this guy is also pretty upset.

Where these fucktards come from all of the sudden I hadn’t seen this kind of user in here since I joined:

 

[Bloobs]

James pulled his dick out

 

[GermanZepp]

It's just a uglier direction to the original.

FTFY

 

[UnrealEck]

My complaint with Maria is how she's not very seductive and sexy anymore. She was like a succubus from what I recall.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Maria la de la pata fria

Hahahaha classic Mexican saying.

 

[Matsuchezz]

At first, I was like, alright, OP might be making a big scene out of this thread...

But that 2nd video where she's saying "Anyway! What do you mean anyway!?" sold me on it. The remake lacks... what the original had...

The original voice actress was really good.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

lol at this.

 

[killatopak]

lol at this.

Did they crank up the brightness or something? The flashlight isn’t even needed in this case.

 

[Kacho]

*things I would never notice if people didn’t point them out* the thread

She looked like a low rate whore before and now just a lower rate. XD

 

[Judge Magister]

lol at this.

It reminded me of this

 

[DeepEnigma]

lol at this.

Kind of a neat way to add an Easter egg.

An easter egg of the dress that was changed because censorship. Genius.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Blame Konami/Ito. Not Bloober. I could see them adding it as DLC, just like Capcom did for RE for the classic outfits in their remakes.

 

[Skifi28]

An easter egg of the dress that was changed because censorship. Genius.

We're cencoring belly buttons now? Many remasters have different uniforms for the main characters like RE2, it doesn't always have to be sinister.

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

This game reminds me of when Hollywood remade Hitchock’s Psycho with Vince Vaughn.

 

[MasterDerico]

 

[Evil Calvin]

Holy crap. She looks like a dude and the lip syncing is atrocious. It's worse than PS1 era. Is this all done by AI? And AI is the future? Ha!

 

[mckmas8808]

Another thread trynna convince everyone and their mother how shit is this

Yeah I don't think it looks bad.
