Ya, that was a better trailer than the others. The main protagonist doesnt look bad anymore.
Already pre ordered at 30 bucks so worth it already

Silent Hill 2 - Story Trailer
- Thread starter SolidSnakex
- Start date
Especially since we haven't actually seen how that plays out. I think the flashlight is meant to reveal the dress but the only footage of that scene all currently appear to have an abrupt edit right after James picks up the flashlight? At least all the footage I've seen definitely has an edit.

I really just posted it because of the door. But this is the scene in the original
Remake
Looks super good.
Congratulations on discovering framing and lighting because that's the same model fam.
I don't even know what to say every single trailer and thing released from bloober since reveal except that "combat" trailer has made the game look way better each time, literally this is how 10 years ago I would've imagined an remake of this game, I can't believe it
This really looks fantastic.
Admittedly I've been a blind optimist since announcement, so my opinion is likely pretty biased, but the footage I'm seeing is stunning.
The atmosphere seems perfect.
I won't be returning to Silent Hill until Friday evening, October 11th, but I am very, very ready!

Tbh an actual flashlight in complete dark would look like the right image.
nailed it
This is 100% it.
Undoubtedly James will take the flashlight and shine the light in front of him, revealing the dress.
It's a good visual move, IMO.
The belt is different, the collar is different, the leopard print is much more defined this time around and the faces have been slightly changed (again) too. Incredible how much framing and lighting can do
Has anyone seen any good deals on Preorder for PS5?
I've only seen Amazon UK doing it for £55, which I still might bite at once I get a £10 voucher via Ms Rewards next in a few weeks.

I think it looks pretty good, but is it me, or is the voice acting in the jail cell scene fall pretty flat? I'm talking mainly about the voice actress. Especially with the way she says "Remember that time in the hotel?" and "I'm not your Mary." There's just a lack of emotion. I don't know if lack of emotion is the point, but Maria in the original played with James's feelings by sounding warm and like Mary. Then at the end when she says "I'm not your Mary", her tone of voice changes slightly. It was super effective.
nailed it
Oh no, How will the game recover after this artistic travesty
The funny thing is if this were done the opposite way, I can imagine SH2 fans going - " Look how ubsubtle Bloober is by forcing you to stare at the dress when picking up the flashlight instead of it being discovered organically as part of the environmental story telling."
Not to mention we dont know how it plays out.
It looks graphically great but the character animations look so stiff and the faces I feel do not express well.
Ok so it ain't just me. That really stuck out to me in the trailer. Everything else was good.
Yeah, positive on everything in the story trailer except for the Maria performance. The point of that scene isn't just for Maria to spout things only Mary and James would know but Maria is also supposed to say those things like Mary would and act like Mary. Then she delivers the line "Well I'm not your Mary" in an unsettling fashion. It's what makes that scene work. I genuinely think it's the best scene in the game and one of my favorites in a game.
In the remake she seems to sit still in a awkward more Maria-like pose and she just drones her dialogue at you in an almost monotone way. She doesn't act like Mary. There's no menace when she says "Well I'm not your Mary". I really hope they're not done with this scene.

I've listened to that original sections dozens of times. It's such a weird delivery, but it was also done on purpose.
Feels weird to say this on a videogame enthusiast forum, but I honestly don't care what hardcore fans of SH2 feel about this game haha. I care about what normies think, and hope it's going to be a good game in its own right. Trailers are looking great, so I'm feeling optimistic!
To have gone out the way to snip this image and still find the og pic to make this comparison is wild. It's cool to criticize obviously but this is some prime time nitpicking lol
nailed it
Yeah if you're looking dead into a flashlight in complete darkness then you're not really gonna see much behind it.
Ever since this game was announced there's been a pretty open contempt for fans of the original game as 'haters' or 'stuck in the past' or whatever type of thing. So that's not weird of a thing to say in this context at all
I don't know what the hell was up with that story trailers music choice but that wasn't it.
Outside of that what will make or break this game for me is feel of gameplay/animations. Atmosphere and visuals are on point.

"Hey the model has changed"
"Congratulations on discovering framing and lighting because that's the same model fam."
"Here's a list to the changes to the model"
"The game was not finished months ago."
🙃
The point is that Bloober Team is clearly listening to the common complaints and are willing to adjust them up until the last minute, no matter how small they seem, which is good.
Pfff, ok, since it generated a lot of reactions, I gonna edit my post and admit it was joke. Nvm, I really should not have started it. :p
Looks pretty darn faithful, tbh I am impressed. Great performances so far. Only thing is everything looks a bit flat to me, I can't put my finger on why though.
To be fair, with it being a remake there are probably going to be more people who care than for any other game. Every scene or part of a game when you're remaking it could be someone's favorite part that they have a lot of memories associated with.
Damn, I was excited for this game the moment they announced it but this trailer was great! And I may be in the minority, but I like Maria's voice/delivery. It almost reminded me of how a psychopath or a demon might taunt someone. Eddie was great and Laura too! I hope this does really well critically and commercially so we may get to see a modern remake of Silent Hill 1 and 3.
It looks really good. I'd be interested in seeing a behind the scenes look and interviews with the development team on how they've handled feedback etc during the game's development.
Yes, but Silent Hill shouldn't be beholden to realism. The original gives off an impression of an otherworldly glow, like Mary's an angel, and then it turns out to just be a flashlight. But if they want to be realistic there are ways to compose the scene so the dress is visible: have the flashlight buried more in the dress so the dress itself is illuminating the scene, have the flashlight on the floor in front of the dress pointing at the ceiling, turn down the brightness a smidge so you might think Mary is standing there, have the light shine on the dress when you pick it up.
The footage shows James turning on the flashlight for the first time pointed at a monster and the text "Collected: flashlight" comes up. They definitely didn't edit out a scene of James looking at the dress.
Yeah, to each their own! I've just got no interest in analytical comparisons on this at all. Same way I approached RE2-RE4 remakes: just approaching them as modern titles that can do whatever they want with the source. All I care about is if it's a decent game on its own.
While I'll agree that this is the best trailer they've put out so far, it's still not doing it for me. The old voice actors and animation were much more uncanny valley that it just added to the bizarre world of silent hill. The "I'm not your Mary" line just feels a lot more flat than the original.
I'm a huge fan of the original and don't think I've felt any wrath. That being said I would also tend to agree that people who complain about contextless prerelease shot compositions not being perfectly aligned might be 'stuck in the past'.
Nah, there's definitely been that tone around this game and any fans of the original whether we want to pretend there was or not. Not saying some fans weren't doing the usual dumb stuff, but there was a lot of 'I have decided this game will be good and everyone who is skeptical is just a hater.' A lot of people decided this game was going to be good from the jump and hitched hard for it.
And it seems like it is going to to turn out pretty well based on what we're seeing and hearing, but there was nothing wrong with being skeptical based on the poor track record of the developer and some pretty questionable showings of the game before this. Especially since gamers are infamous for latching onto the new and shiny and thinking anything old should be turn to the dustbin of time
