this interpretation could never be matched, it's unreal how you can feel EVERYTHING through this letter

You promised you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well l'm alone there now...

The voice delivery of this letter in the original absolutely wrenches my heart. Unfortunately, it was so beautifully done that I am a bit disappointed by the final letter recordings in the remake.

i cant believe it was 12 years ago.. this letter really made me cry a lot 🖤

Me love this

i am so grateful to get this ending for my first playthrough i cried

But you never do

the remake fumble this really bad

Damn remake didn't even come close to this

haven't played the game yet but this made me cry

she forgave james for taking her life.....

This crushed me

How this 10/10 voice acting came out of a game that mostly has intentional 5/10 voice acting I will never know

I listen to this once every single day to remind myself to hang out with my loved ones

I looked this up just as I finished the Remake. I played the original many times, it’s my favorite game. The Remake was absolutely phenomenal, I loved it! But…the final letter reading at the end of the remake changed some lines in the letter and the delivery didn’t hit nearly as hard. The new actress did a good job, don’t get me wrong, but it just couldn’t top the original final letter reading…

Guys, I've seen a lot of things in the world and few things in my life have touched me as much as this letter at the end of the game. ❄️

I thought this video game was developed in the U.S but it was actually Japanese game. it do make sense for me because American can't make this ART. All things theydo make is always jump scarew

Andjelkovic dennis : die schleife wird bald erneuert

Fuck

Crying in the club

I don't even know how to start my comment. I was born in 2004 and I'm 20 years old. So of course back then Silent Hill definitely wasn't my first game, I used to play shooters, GTA a lot and they were basically most popular games in my environment. I remember I've heard about silent hill for the first time when I was around 17 I guess, and I did some research and I was thinking about playing it but when I got the first silent hill, the camera angle, the control didn't let me get used it so I just decided to delete it. But I asked my friend if he played it and he said that the best chapter is 1st and 2nd. So I watched a video lore of them, back then also my English wasn't that good, I couldn't communicate in English with others like now, but I knew the lore of the second chapter already. After a year or two I guess a brand new trailer popped up on my KZbin recommendation, it said "SILENT HILL 2 REMAKE 2024 TRAILER" I was like "wow.. okay" I watched around 10 seconds of it and it was enough for me to turn it off and just wait for the game release. A year.. even more I guess I didn't watch anything about it, I didn't read anything about it, I was just trying my best to stay away from all spoilers and news. The only news I saw is that the release date and I was so shocked and couldn't believe that they were really gonna release it so soon. It happened, I got it, It was so comfortable for me to play it and I was enjoying EVERY SECOND.. wait I MEAN IT THAT EVERY SECOND OF THE GAME was a pure joy for me. There were times when I got really emotional too. And here it is, the ending of the game. I'm sitting in my room sleepy as hell, it was around 4AM also, and i hear Mary speaking... I was ready for everything, I knew that I was gonna cry, but hell.. I wasn't ready for crying like a baby and have sleeplessness nights for 3-4 days. It got me so emotional that I think it got me even depressed a bit. Her Love for James, Her feelings no matter if at the end of her days he didn't care about it much. the game shows true Love. I'm a selfish person and pretty straightforward when it comes to feelings. And it really hit me in the face with the meaning of the game, it made me understand that other people have feelings too. I don't know man every time I come back to this video and every time I replay the game (I played it 3 times already since the release), it always gets me so emotional and feel the things I've never helped. Let's just spread Love around the world and happiness, it's not that hard folks. Let's Love each other value each other's feelings. If you read this, thank you for being patient❤

A thing the remake couldn't top

I remember sobbing like a baby to this and the in water ending

Desde el fondo de mi corazón te lo digo, maldito seas James Sunderland, te mereces todo lo que te pasa en el juego y quedas debiendo bastardo

The remake was an absolute masterpiece, don't get me wrong but... there's something so emotionally raw about the og version that makes it so much better

This video was linked to an article where the English translator for the game, Jeremy Blaustein, revealed that Mary's letter hits him more now because his wife died of cancer two years ago.

</3

"James, you made me happy..."

;-;

In my restless dreams, I see that Pizza Hut They promised me breadsticks, but they never delivered. Well, I'm alone here now. Waiting for my marinara

nice

nice letter

"You made me happy." Man, this letter had me bawling. Phenomenal game. Through and through.

I want a woman to love me

Man i misunderstood the context of this letter for YEARS

This is more emotional and strong compare to the remake 😢

Quick question, did james read this in the 'in water' ending. Cause I feel like it wouldnt make sense to off himself if he knows that mary wanted him to live.

リメイク版で日本語音声でメアリーの手紙を見たけど… 悪いわけではないけど、なんだか少し元気過ぎて… このオリジナルのメアリーの方の朗読が完璧過ぎて、あまりにもリアルに胸に迫る切なく悲しい読み方で昔何度も泣いた 今聞いても泣いてしまう

I can feel her sadness :(

Bon maintenant j en suis sure...le doublage original était bien meilleur dans le choix des voix et le jeu des acteurs, qu elle interprétation poignante!

This is the one and only part of the game I felt was not done better in fact was done worse in the remake than the original. Which is a ducking shame that it crashes on such a beautiful flight. I'll just play this when that scene cuts on. Cuts me deep makes me cry man. You made me happy... 😭

I just came here to compared it to the remake version... OH my fucking good, the remake new voice actress couldn't nail the tone and emotion, most of the time it just feels plain and emotionless compared to this the og. Not gonna blame her, the bar is very high and hard to surpass

“I can’t tell you to remember me, but I can’t bear for you to forget me”. Just wow. Saddest line ever with the perfect deliver.

The scariest, and saddest game I've ever played. Silent Hill 2 will forever be my favorite game of all time. What a magnificent success.

I knew in my heart that no one could replace this voice actress and I was right. I knew that the remake could not replicate this, nothing can reach this level of perfection. Monica Taylor Horgan, you did the most emotional voice acting of all time. Thank you.

"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?" Why are the Japanese so good at psychological horror?

I remember actually shedding a tear when she said the last lines, she did an amazing job conveying emotions while reading. It felt so tragic, yet bittersweet because despite everything she felt like it was worth it because she was happy.

記得小的時候 我的英文還很不好 這封信的內容聽不太懂 不過當時聽起來感覺好悲傷 也不禁流淚 現在過了30年左右 感覺更容易讓我流淚 不是只因為內容懂了 而是經歷過人生歷練後 體驗過什麼是真的無能為力的事 總之 這封信聲優表達的方式很了不起 真的能撼動我的心

I still remember this makes me cry so hard

I've recently watched a playthrough of the SH2 remake and came here to hear the original. This hits REALLY HARD. My partner is currently dealing with some serious health issues and I can't help but feel some resentment towards them due to financial reasons. They were the bread winner, and now I'm trying my best to support us. I hate myself for feeling the way I do when I walk downstairs in the morning and see their car still sitting in their parking spot outside our apartment instead of being at work. I keep putting on a brave face and going to work even when I'm vomiting the morning before(I have my own chronic health issues) and struggling to drive 30 minutes to work while they sleep on the couch and watch YT/play video games all day. I can't hate them for it cuz I've seen what has happened to them... unable to stand for longer than 10 seconds, shaking hands and body, unable to control their body temp.... but yet... I would definitely have my own Silent Hill if it existed for sure... I love them dearly but as it is... I don't know...
