He’s saying the remake has the same worth as an action figure you buy at Walmart whereas the original should probably be encased in glass at a modern art museum. Sorry bud.

Shot: Me telling you this Reverse shot: You still not getting it

And I disagree. I consider the original to be a piece of art and and considered as such, but any claim that "only originals have worth" usually indicate that a person has close to zero respect for how art has its origin in repetition and oral storytelling in which stories are endlessly told and retold, art pieces are made, remade, reinterpreted, etc, and sometimes new artistic value is achieved, sometimes not. That is basically the history of all art, but somehow modern people in some commercial framework have gotten delusional about how there can be only one "true" version of a story, and all else is "meaningless". I'm just saying its a subjective claim with not much backing it up, and a probable reason to attribute "no value" to something is to get outrage clicks. Not the only reason obviously, but still quite a probable one.

That remakes are considered as a replacement of the original in video games is a sure sign video games as a medium is immature still. In art forms with some real history, like theater, literature, painting and music remakes tend not to be seen as a replacement, but a compliment, a reinterpretation, a separate entity with its own possibility of being seen as art, but in video games it's all about the cult of technological progress and how newer versions are the replacement of older versions. I'd call it immaturity. If video games evolve some more into an actual art form, perhaps people develop the capacity to see both originals and new versions to have worth and with no need for one to "replace the other".

@@Aslan_q7yz what a dumb comparison when re1 remake is Just like the original but with many enhancements by respecting the original and the OG creator worked in it. It doesnt have character desing changes, it doesnt change the gameplay style. It builds upon it by keeping the same artstyle People nowadays dont even use their brain to use crítical thinking anymore

it does not have same style, it’s all brown.

Doesn't matter that others think, doesn't even matter what developers think. If you can see value in something, if you start woundering, if you get new ideas then it's worth it.

You tourists are actually insane.

Pfff 😂😂 I dont think so. They didnt create silent hill they are uncapable of creating a masterpiece. They are the company mediocre games

Like the remake has its moments but saying that a developer which primarily utilised other teams core concepts and ideas is kinda wild….

@@awake7586 you mad? 🍼

@@theduck4595 the other team is gone. The SH games after 2 have ranged from mid to trash. Downplay the remake all you want, it doesn’t change facts.

Yep, it has senile SH fans fuming that the remake is actually good and Bloober is the new Team Silent

You're completely missing his argument, the remake is great if you consider games as content to be consumed. Artistically it is a complete waste of time.

@ A caveat missing from the title. Something tells me this video isn’t meant to convince anyone who disagrees with him to change their opinion about anything. This sounds more like a guy who enjoys looking for things to complain about and articulating these grievances to an audience of like minded individuals. But hey, to each’s own.

Games are waste of time

"The og sh2 didnt entertain me with bog standard last of us combat or spoonfeed me the story and themes enough so its not as good..."

@@Jibberjabberjimber You say that like it's a bad thing. Last of Us controls > OG Silent Hill 2 controls. Not even a challenging argument. lol. The OG controls weren't exactly original either. Or maybe with your quotations you're mocking people like that. I dunno. lol

don't worry 90% of those "fans" never played the og and boy oh boy does it show when you see their arguments

@Aslan_q7yz you say that like the remakes fans arent all video essay warrior too weak to handle tank controls

For real he actually played the original. That's blasphemy.

The problem is. Normal People are gonna play it and not even finish it and they still wouldnt play the original because aparently emulation is now a tabú theme that nobody knows anything but how weird you can now emulate Ps2 even on android and its easy to set up

@@awake7586 bro it's not that deep not everyone has time to play video games and finish them. Sh2 is old and it's a proven fact that old game = less players. That's why a remake is good since not only does it modernise the game in terms of gameplay/graphics and makes it more accessible for modern audiences, but it's also technically a different game since unlike remasters it changes some sections of the game. You can't just force people to finish or play the og bro and i'm gonna go even further than that you can't force people to finish sh2 og or remake. I would understand why fans are angry if they delisted the og but you can still buy the og if you want to play it so this is literally a win-win situation with sh2r

@@Aslan_q7yz the fact that is old means nothing. The game has embeded good quality of desing and ideas that makes it unique, interesting, remarkable, replayable. A classic you can not suggest that the gameplay is better when it is completely different, the game might have the same story and characters but they have completely different pacing, gameplay, art desing (specially in characters like maria) And at what point does it become another game? Its has so many changes that calling it and improvent or a replacement its so insulting to the true silent hill 2 and it shows that you are a tourist, a fake fan riding the hype train Just because is the new shiny thing Games have a limit of logenvity and playability thats normal, thats life everything has to start and finish Thats why is so good but the remake doubled the play time and turned Silent hill into The Last of us with scary monsters

@awake7586 so according to your Logic all remakes (90% of them AT least) suck because they are not 100% the same game (but then if they were you would still complain because you would Say that the remake is a copy & paste of the og) also bro PLS stop with that tourist insult it's really weird and cringe man not everyone whole gonna play sh2 is a sh fanatic or fan (i'm pretty sure and i certainly Hope you played other games than sh2 and i don't think you would take someone serious if for example they called you a tourist for liking the Dead Space remake for example instead of the og because "you didn't get the og" see what i mean ?) I personnaly played sh2 og like 6 years ago, 1 year ago and again once more 4 days ago to compare with the remake since i really liked it, and i really dont get what the fuss is about. I played crappy remakes before who cut a lot of content from of games (like re3r for example) and this really was not it, not only did it stay as faithful as a remake can be to the og but it also kinda made me wanna Replay thé og like i said to compare (especially when it did the little homage to the og with the aura's of the past collectibles revisiting past locations) and let's be honest bro, there are a ton of things that the og does better (let's not forget that even thought 50% of sh2 greatness is it's Story the other 50% should also be it's gameplay, this isn't a visual Nobel but a survival horror which emplies that it is a video game which therefore means that gameplay should be the rest 50%) for example the combat which IS much more dynamic and violent than og, ennemies behaviour and ai (who surprised me by often jumpscaring me when i least expected it), actual tension throught 3rd person view (even thought the static camera view from the og are something i cherish (mainly bc of nostalgia) being able to see the entire environnement from the perspective of James really adds to the immersion in the game, the boss fights (the remake literally improved boss fights bro there is no denying that without actual arguments) especially abstract daddy and Eddie, the only things that i found were better in the og are maria's appearence (especially behind bars in her cell in the labyrinth)and the voice acting of Mary when she's reading the letter she gave to James at the very end of the game. The remake also adds 2 New endings (which i believe are faithfull to the essence of the og) on top of a revisited ost (this is mostly up to preference since og's ost is already great) and a New ennemy type that works very well and IS also faithfull the og (representing again James sexual desires and frustration) so worry for that Big ass Replay and comparaison but that was just to show you my arguments as to why i believe the remake is better in my opinion (you're free to dislike it bro everyone has their own preference) at the end of the day video games deserve to evolve and not stay in the same state forever, i imagine in the future with the developpment of vr why not a port of it for sh2 or an FPS mode update like GTA 5 did with ps4(similar to kojima's pt) to add even more immersion. On the final note i believe that this game deserved a remake and that bloober team delivered a really respectfull and faithfull remake (collab with team silent also giving them their own credits at the end, something most remakes don't even do). I believe that at this point people who hâte the remake do so because they wanted it to fail so badly that they have a cognitive dissonance and just blindly hate it without real arguments besides : it's not team silent/it's not the og. I believe this is very reductive criticism and not fair at all because you have to give credit where credit is due.

*sorry for that Big ass reply* fucking autocorrect ruinied it 🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂

Is not that they can't is that they don't care enough to try. I still dont understand whats the deal with tank controls Maybe in the first tomb raider it did sucked but sh2 is such a fun dynamic experience is a masterpiece even gameplay wise

remake is definetely scarier than og (at least for me) the prison and labyrinth especially

@ for me it’s the scariest game I’ve ever played by a long shot. I’d have to chant “I am not afraid” to muster the courage to keep fighting.

The demake introduced graphics and combat to more modern people, and that's it. The story is non-existent. The story is soulless and doesn't hit the same. But you're a tourist so what do you know.

​@@differentsame9402sorry but the story and level desing from the remake are way better, and i am saying this being a die hard fan from the original (i finish the game like 22th times), the combat in the original is shit, literally the eddie boss fight is a joke and ends being funny, all the boss fights in the remake are better. The remake has the ambient from the original and new sound that make the game more alive, but all the classic sounds still there (the wisper from the blue creck apartment, the crying sound from lakeviwe hotel, etc), this is the most faithful remake that i ever see (this and Resident evil (2002) and Black mesa

​@@WeirdPal766 they think "soulless", "doesn't hit the same", and "tourist" are valid arguments. the story is presented the same way as the OG with even more stuff added

@@dog2182 that's what I am saying, this has more soul than the resident evil 2 remake, and almost nobody says that was souless (and even almost everyone consider the remake better than the original), I don't know why they hate Silent Hill 2 remake so much

@@WeirdPal766 sh2 fanbase is worst than re that's why. Apart from that gamers nowadays (not all ofc) are just cynical unapreciative pricks who always complain and only look at the bad side instead of the good side of things (re4 remake for example with the crowbcat video calling it souless)

L take because no matter how much I play the original, it still always hits me just as hard. The demake is trash even you admitted to that by saying "it didn't hit you that hard". You contradicted yourself and you didn't even realize it.

@@differentsame9402 No, I said the remake didn't hit me as hard. Not the demake. The remake is graphically and gameplay wise superior. I will recommend new players to go for Remake. But I personally prefer the original. If I didn't knew the plot of the Silent Hill 2, I would probably had a different opinion of the remake. Edit: I just realised you were the calling the Remake "demake" as an insult. And not referring to the original. Nvm.

​@@Mr.Coffee576demake is bad. The original need's to be available on modern hardware. This is insane

Angela in the remake is far more tragic than OG Angela. SH fans are just a special kind of group that can never be satisfied

​@@evil1989pl​@evil1989pl you are coping. I have played the game recently. Im a 22 year old young man that loves video games and the Sh2 ps2 made me feel scared, happy, sad, worried. I even cried and is now one of my favorite games Im currently playing sh3 I bet you still killing monsters in the remake like the Last of us thinking thats what silent hill gameplay is about 😂😂 And Angela is so great because is relatable for People that been traumatized. And you telling me that an uglier version of her with goofy voice lines is better LOL you aint no sh fan at all

@@awake7586 shut up troll, I didn’t ask for your life story.

Angela just looks like a cosplayer lol. No idea why they messed her head up

What high sales? It only sold 1 million lmaooo. And it only sold 1 million off the strength of the original game. It's already DOA and nobody even talks about it anymore in a positive light. It's now getting trashed by all reviewers and most tourists that used to defend this demake have now moved on to black ops lmaooo.

Exactly, the guy hasn't done a lick if research, and just flaps as if he knows what the creators intentions were. All the information is out there, both Google and KZbin, from interviews with Sato to deep dives with TheGamingMuse. Sad someone seemingly so intelligent turns out to be completely arrogant and uninformed. It's a disrespect to the original piece of art and the artists who worked their socks off to create it.
