Something just happened to my pyramid head

 

[SportsFan581]

She looks young and old at the same time.

It's part of her mystery.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

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

Don't be so harsh. David Duchovny is a great actor and it's great to see him getting some more work here.

Good lord that looks awful.

Game is gonna be a banger.

Sooo, is that something where somebody used A.I. to deepfake David Duchovny's face on the character, or is that actually how it looks in the game?

Big David Duchovny fan, btw.

 

[RaduN]

lol downgrade is being used incorrectly here. the graphics have obviously been upgraded. character models, facial animations and acting are all improved. There might be some wooden animations and odd directing choices, but overall it looks light years ahead.

This is the perfect example of how advanced graphics mean absolutely zero when talking atmosphere and conveying specific emotions and characterisation.
It's the art and the artist first and foremost.

Seems like Bloober are Twin Peaks Season 2 fans.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Looks fine to me, seems to do some stuff better, some worse, but overall it's an upgrade, if less artistic.



That SBI is involved is concerning, but at least the Bloober devs themselves do not appear to be overtly woke so they hopefully ignored most of the "advice".

I get the same. But, I will come on here, after destroying this game and give my ultimate opinion. I plan to 100% this.

 

[kapshin]

less fuckable innit

It's foggy in Silent Hill so it's fine

 

[tommib]

think most people on this forum dont even play games.

you’ve cracked the code

Well papis, reviews are good, I might have to eat my own words.

Enjoy the meal boys!

Reviews for Dead Rising Remastered were positive too but you won't hear the journalists talking about why it's worse in some ways

This is the thing. If I am proven wrong then that's okay, I love games and I dont want then to fail. But for example, God of War Ragnarok received amazing reviews and then for me personally it was a big disappointment, wouldn't rate it higher than a 6, same story with Starfield and FF16. You never know in the end but hey I will try this game and see if it's as good as reviews say. I still keep my position that some of the cutscenes are not good enough compared to the original

Some people think that complaints about the cutscenes were invalidated because of the game's score on metacritic, it's amazing how easily people are influenced.

"Woke" has now just become a term to mean "I don't like something". So please, just say you don't like it and stop using it. It's just annoying. That being said, it does seem like they have changed direction to make this a more loose interpretation of the original.

I feel like the bigger issue with this (and some other remakes) are the game(s) were originally designed with the lower polygon count in mind and look better in that aesthetic then they do when adapted to a more realistic art style. You end up losing something in the translation. That's not to say this will be bad, but I think it's best to look at many remakes as someone else's interpretation of said game. Will it be good? We'll have to see.

No, that's not what "woke" means. The people using the term are 100% justified in using it too as it is what's being forced into almost every game these days. There's a reason you will continue to see it used. Do you deny that there's a politically correct, sjw agenda going on in the country? If not, stop trying to gaslight people over using the word!

 

[samoilaaa]

i see many people are calling it woke

until we see if there is any race swapping , gender swapping , sexuality change we cant call it woke

i hate woke agenda with all my heart but just because the face doesnt look as "attractive" as it did many years ago isnt woke , lets wait for the full game

Woke has pretty much lost it's meaning. It's gotten really bad these past few months I'm noticing, probably because recent failures of actual woke games have emboldened people to become even louder on the subject. But we've crossed the threshold where some of the Anti-Woke crowd have gone mask off, and have become just as annoying as the Woke crowd.

I can kinda see their reasoning for calling the changes to Maria woke. If the reasoning for the changes stem from "we can't have a woman look weak/vulnerable anymore" or "have a man mentor a woman" or "have a man rescue a woman" or "look sexy because of the male gaze" then they do have a point. That stuff falls in line some of the more extreme forms of feminism and the me-too movement.

 

[Lee49]

I feel like because someone disagrees with something, they feel compelled to go and spout an extremely oppposite opinion no matter what and without reasoning. I wish more people can get out of that mindset and call a spade a spade.

if thats the case we will see in the writing but we need the full game released , from what i heard sweet baby inc is involved so the chances are pretty high

 

[OmegaSupreme]

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.

This aged horribly

 

[phant0m]

I said it looked like shit not that it's unplayable, there's a difference.

How’s it look now boss?

 

[SlimySnake]

Amazing.

What is going on lately on gaf? No really?
ps5 pro is shit
Astro is shit
Now silent hill 2 is shit

I will lay low for a while , work is retarded, stressed out of my mind etc so i wont blow my account with freakouts over stuff like this.
But i will say this. I played the original several times. One of my favorite horror games that goes deep. I am lucky and happy that i can replay it in a new light. I dont care who looks like what . What matters to me is all here and i will buy this game regardless of all the hate.

I start to think most people on this forum dont even play games.

People love to hate. it's the new trend on X and youtube. Only fair that it will seep into gaming forums. Same audience after all.

It's on us to keep these fools in check. Call out this over dramatic PMS behavior when you see it.

 

[mitch1971]

They should just call them reworkings.

 

[Kacho]

 

[Garibaldi]

Not really. The animations are all stiff in my opinion. Bloober's track record is also extremely poor imo. Just because you have a difference in taste doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Happy for them it's reviewing well. Doesn't mean I have to find the game appealing. Grow up.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Grow up.

 

[Garibaldi]

Yeah perhaps that was a tad defensive. The rest of my post is still valid though.

No offence, how long have you been using the internet?

 

[March Climber]

Because aside from cosmetic changes, the skeletal structure of DRR is a good video game with good gameplay.

 

[Lee49]

A very long time. Long enough to wish people can read posts and not be argumentative.

 

[nkarafo]

Sweet Baby Inc.

Is this true? They put their dirty claws in this game too?

FFS

Do you remember the chat rooms etc? Not much has changed really, there will always be people like you originally described.

Hit detention seems to be the company they have consulted which is basically another Sweet Baby Inc

 

[nkarafo]

Is this a bad screenshot or does the game look that much washed out?

The twitter video also looks like this. Complete lack of blacks and awful contrast.
