Why is the wall in the storage room on director's office bleeding when you shoot it?

[@pricklycrush480]

the devs explained that they made james look more tired and dirty as the game progressed. they’re cool details like he starts getting darker under-eyes, his eyes are a little red and his clothes look much filthier.

[@skeNGk]

And he starts growing beard stubble

[@pll9000]

Arkham Asylum did this years ago. Batman would get battle damage as the game progresses, including stubble growth. The Resident Evil remakes are fully implementing this as well so Konami/Bloober have to compete on the same level.

I absolutely love the save screen detail where James looks away from the player. A little breaking of the 4th wall. After we know he's guilty.

[@Encpc]

Can you explain it please?

[@up_to_the_wolves]

@@Encpc Those are just my theories but after you, the player, gets to know the truth about James, he's ashamed to look into the eyes of the player. Also before this save point his flashlight stops working. Because you found the flashlight on a mannequin wearing Mary's clothing, it's basically "Mary's guidance for James to find her", as if she's always with James guiding him through the nightmare. Yet after unveiling the truth, James becomes guilty, Mary no longer guides us through and at the last save point, James doesn't want to look us in the eyes. But as I said, this is just my theory, this might aswell mean entirely something else.

Another clever touch I noticed when I played the game for the first time is in the opening cinematic. You can clearly see the pale band on James’ ring finger implying he has removed his wedding ring.

[@MickNavarro]

yep noticed the same, good attention to details

[@mikkdc]

And there was what seemed like a wedding ring in the Lost and Found box in the Heavens Night strip club

[@TheSteerpike]

I just found this! Wow! Such attention to detail. I also loved the way this whole scene played out as a temptation scene. For me, the tiny details of James’ quiet inner struggle to resist the whisky that Maria left on the bar was just fantastic. It’s just delightful to see the care and attention that has gone in to respecting the complexity of this game and respectfully adding to and enhancing its legacy. I really hope Bloober feel justifiably proud of what they have achieved. I was disgusted by the hateful and vicious mocking of this small development studio. It’s idiots out there who are likely to stop interesting ventures like this and leave us with a tired diet of mainstream, generic iterations of the same old thing.

[@BriarPatchNyra]

Implying that it was only removed recently because if he had removed it years ago, the mark would have faded.

[@BababooeyGooey]

My favorite detail is how James' health is portrayed (beyond the hud); as his health lowers, the shoulder and neck of his jacket will become increasingly saturated with blood.

@@reginlief1 Everyone sees something different in Silent Hill 2, but don't forget, that monster you see in front of Angela, don't forget she called it "Daddy", and thought at one point you were her Mamma. Everyone is not seeing the same thing. So perhaps they are seeing monsters, but it is *their* monster. Ever notice that Laura isn't affected? She is the only innocent person in Silent Hill, thus the person who made the root comment is quite right, Maria is NOT real. In fact, another thing you may not have picked up on, Maria is never seen with James when James is with another character. She either is simply not there, or stays outside. There's a deep reason for this. Don't take this as rude or anything, just trying to clear this up, because @dunkarporkshop2963 is quite right, Maria isn't real, she's not there. She's in his mind however, and as far as monsters, everyone simply sees something different, but no two people see the same monsters. But Laura absolutely without a doubt, has not ever seen monsters in Silent Hill.

@@Farfarawai Theres no such thing as a "canon" ending,silent hill 2 ending was meant to be decided by how the player acts,whatever you get is whatever happened,also the letter is meant to always disappear no matter what you do or what ending you get,because its symbolic,as the game progresses James starts to accept things,one of thosr things is the fact that there was in fact no letter.

[@Mbk10298]

@@lexzeyfercronus Well, the letter still exists in some form, right? Mary gave it to the nurse so it could be passed on to James after her death, and Laura mentioned that she stole the letter from the nurse. What doesn't make sense, though, is how Laura could have the letter/envelope at all if James started the game with the letter, which he presumably got from the nurse?

[@k-popbangtan4127]

The letter is all James imagination! If you played the game at some point Laura said that she got a letter for James but when James opens it. It's Empty and Laura starts running in search for the letter. But it's all James imagination. Mary never wrote him a letter.

[@speedwagoncito]

All the talk in the replies here but... weren't those two separate letters though? The one James has from the start is the one that disappears completely by the end (envelope and all) since it never actually existed and James basically just imagined it. The other letter, the one Laura talks about and says she may have lost it, is the real one that Mary wrote for James when she was coming back home for her final stay, which explains why Laura could see it and even carried it around with her for a while.

[@MaRaMa-ARTZ]

If you go with Maria to the door that was the OG location for the strip club she'll say she got dejavu. If you go into the Baldwin mansion yard she stays out on the street and then you can talk to her and she'll comment on the place, saying it gives her the creeps and that it's like a bad memory. Reference to the Born From A Wish DLC of the OG. Wonder if they'll add it for the remake too.

Another neat little detail: on the PC version your RGB keyboard and mouse change color throughout the game. Mouse represents health like on the Duelsense, but the keyboard changes color depending on environment. e.g. foggy wisps for when you're outside, flame colors for the Otherworld, glowing red when you're on the save screen, and also certain colors for cutscenes. Not important for gameplay, but it's nice that Blooper went the extra mile to set the mood.

[@jackgreen05]

4:57 In that same bar there is a beer with the name Red Velvet, a reference to the movie Blue Velvet (1986). In that movie there is a scene where the protagonist hides in a closet and through the grids he watches a sex scene, this scene was directly referenced in Silent Hill 2 when you look at Pyramid Head behind a closet while he hurts some mannequin.

The blood trail left by the crawling lying figures is such a great touch. Looks great, loved this remake so much. Usually I struggle to get through horror games but the SH2 remake was so incredible that I persevered despite being terrified many times (the prison alone took me multiple days to get through as I had to keep taking breaks to calm down). The single frame in the movie theater is such a great little thing to add too for those who have beaten the game. One of my favorite little details from the OG silent hill 2 was when you first pick up the radio and you get a static message that's hard to discern what's being said, UNLESS you've beaten the game. Then you can piece together what is being said and everything becomes clear that there were hints to the game's ending from the very beginning.

[@iRockGuy]

The best detail James didn’t noticed is Maria knowing his name without telling her.

[@neopalmiscus57]

During the game you could hear a sharp sigh a couple of times. It could be Marie's last breath.

[@InMyFaceAndLovingIt]

I dont know if it's in the original, but Maria has additional dialogue if you break a ton of car windows around her

[@Anthony-kc4jo]

She isn't real, like Maria. The real Lisa died long ago from an overdose. She is a manifestation of alessa as well as all the other monsters. Contrary to the movie, she was seen by alessa as a mother figure because she was the only kind person who took care of her. As you go through the game, the demon power increase and the dark side as well. There is no place for such things in his world, then she dterts realizing she's not real, she's like all the other monsters. In the dove section of the prison (basement) in sh2 remake, you can find a drawing, drawn by a prisoner in a cell. It's like a circle, half-erased (the same kind found in silent hill 1 and 2) and when you stare at it you start hearing a deep demon voice speaking an unknown language, it's like if it's calling you and when you go away, it stops, that is so eerie.

[@F.A.S.D]

I just love games with tons of detail like this. It makes a good multiple playthrough to see it yourself not to mention the multiple ending it has

[@LoveToSpootch]

I thing that for some reason blew me away was that when at the saving screen, your actually looking from the red square and out. What I mean is, at some point in my game, Maria came running up from behind, and I saw her do it from the red screen.

[@dirtmcgirt9148]

4:55, also regarding Jacob's Ladder? In the movie theater, there's a movie poster of a film called "Return to Owl Creek Bridge." The 1890 short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce (and eventual adapted 1961 short film by Robert Enrico) was a major source of inspiration for Jacob's Ladder. If you've read "Owl Creek Bridge," then you know *why* it was an inspiration...but I don't want to spoil anything. Either way, just another great easter-egg/hat-tip from Bloober Team.

[@caphowdy666]

The lights on the controller are to be honest, quite common in games with them changing depending on your health or certain environmental situations etc. As for firing the gun around Maria and leaving her with enemies, this is all part of the game anyway, same as breaking windows near her. He reacts because it is all part of the ending you get. The more you do stuff like this, the more you will get a certain ending. Same with looking at the letter or other personal items. It's clever, but they are just giving your physical signs in advance of what ending you are going to get. There are lots of little touches in the game that are nods to the original (the outfit in the wardrobe for instance), and I am sure you have covered some in your previous video, but with the changes they have made (the Eddie/Pizza scene being a primary example) it is nice that they at least acknowledge the scene they cut. Also the level of detail is fantastic. Angela having blatantly chewed nails is perfect example of that.

3:03 - isn't that the same room where Heather and Douglas stayed. Room 106, right? 4:20 - this is just like in the original game - after the fight with Eddie the page becomes blank, after that revelation scene in the hotel room there is nothing inside the envelope.

[@louismartin7608]

3:03 yes

[@ergohash2517]

James jacket also shows your health - the more blood is on the back the closer to dying he is, once you drink a healing item the blood disappears/evaporates.

[@fberdf]

If i was all day killing monsters and touching horrible stuf my fingernails would be dirty too, poor James!

[@freezingc3126]

What does the looking away from the player when saving symbolize?

[@mrplayfulshade]

Probably just the idea he can't look at himself after what he's done

[@Cat66-p6q]

That was when he realized he committed the murders so he cant look at himself anymore

[@predictless1009]

deep meaning search syndrome

[@Kiyosuki]

The way I saw it is that its the age old tell that someone is lying, when you try to look someone in the eye who's lying to you and they look away, because its "us" looking at him. It's not 100% an accurate tell obviously but its an old belief; but I could see him not wanting to look at himself being the case too.

[@vodafella]

Apparently we look to the left when we tell a lie if right-handed and vice-versa if left-handed

[@finleymorris04]

0:25 well if you don’t notice this you’re not gonna get the good ending

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

Your health determines your ending?

[@produccionesr7168]

​@@Stargazing_night_sky it contributes

[@Stargazing_night_sky]

@produccionesr7168 I'm definitely getting a bad ending then because I get hit a LOT lol

@@produccionesr7168 ahh okay. I should be fine then because I heal a lot. The game is very generous with heals so

[@syafster]

maria's ending is james still becoming the monster he is.

[@lucasfilms3216]

I think one of my favourite things are the subtle and small details

[@novayussof9232]

We got fingernail details before GTA VI

[@challenger516]

Cringe

[@mirab7835]

The fingernail details were also in Blair Witch (also from Bloober Team). So they can be seen as experts in dirty fingernails.

[@ellacarolinexo]

My favorite detail is if you stay long enough in Heaven’s Night with Maria, James doesn’t say anything when he leaves the club. If you leave immediately after the bar cutscene, he’ll say “We were in there too long.”

[@anoob8582]

I really appreciate the way you made this video spoiler-free

[@Chumboe-Tron2k]

if there's one thing i've learned from big budget videogames, nothing is by accident.

[@gamenetic6426]

If you play the piano in the room you find Laura at the Lakeview Hotel, each note James play is a note of a known song too. I don't remember which was

[@dexter1981]

0:58 Maria will say the same line the first time you break any window

[@FloppaBreaker]

It should be pointed out that the "Welcome Back" sign probably isn't an easter egg. We actually never see the front of Lakeview Hotel in the entire series, so you're actually in the back yard. It's incredibly unlikely a person would be officially entering the hotel from the back, so the sign is probably assuming anyone coming in from the back is literally returning and welcoming them back.

[@RokeCZ]

first time with pyramid head you dont have to fight him , just kite him around he ll go away after few minutes

[@marymutou4977]

I am very happy the silent hill 2 remake turned out great Not like the original (models and voice actors )but it’s great nonetheless Now what really needs a remake is silent hill 1

[@based_circuit]

I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised, and they exceeded my expectations. My only gripe is with some of the voice acting being flat for Angela and Maria. But I like how they altered and improved the narrative overall, especially with Eddy.

[@Lofieloves]

This remake is amazing. 10/10 😊

[@pooolB]

I've never played the original so idk if it's new, but when you find the grave room, James' and Eddie's look more neat like they were professionally dug for a coffin to be lowered, while Angela's looks sloppy like it was dug by a shovel just enough to fit her body. She doesn't think she deserves a coffin.

[@cinderofgods8698]

The first time I saved and James was looking away it really freaked me out. I don't know why it just did

[@BDONN88]

Every time you look at a clock in the game it always says 9:10

[@SmotheryAxe1414]

I hope we get a chance to see silent hill 1 or 3 remade. I would love to see Heather Mason again.

[@nadiyant25]

They really did a good job on making this remake and I never thought about that

[@Chobbito]

The room with the SH3 symbol is also the same room featured in SH3 where Heather is staying when she arrives in Silent Hill. The blood effects really impressed me, especially the injured Lying Figures leaving blood streaks as they scurry around the floor.

[@haagendaff]

you may missed the tombstone of walter sullivan which another reference to silent hill : the room

[@TheDim3]

The details they added are immaculate to say the least. Callbacks & deeper implications for the overall lore!

[@djb5255]

I'm glad you noted 13. I thought I'd encountered a bug, but if we both got it I'm sure it was a feature.

[@mad8039]

You can find a Heather jacket in town

[@kane8649]

Detail 3 - A small addition. If you are playing on PC and you have an RGB Razer keyboard, it will change colors according to what character is in the cutscene, how you interact with items, if you get hit, and it also has two ambient lighting modes, one for Otherworld and one for fog world. And, if you have an RGB Razer mouse as well, it becomes an indicator for your health status, starting at green and getting progressively more red the more damage you take.

[@354Entertainment]

The "Welcome Back" sign was a good catch!

[@Topaz-zk4zk]

You forgot the part where after James learns the truth, the letter outright disappears, leaving just the envelope.

[@roonkolos]

We always see Eddie's breath Knowing Silent Hill changes itself to each specific person, i have always hazard a guess that SH for Eddie is cold, frosty and icy like himself I base this off of Angela's iconic line knowing she realized James couldnt see what she saw. Silent Hill for her is always on fire and for James, theres constant moisture

[@arturoenriquez3816]

0:44 also if you play the game on pc and have razer products it will also interact the same way

[@lbuprofenAddict]

Another thing with Mary's letter, before the double pyramid head boss the letter is gone and if you try to inspect James just pulls out the envelope, and after that fight the letter is completely gone from the inventory.

[@冞]

the remake is filled with the small details that made me love the original, love it

[@Dance4Life_rus]

James doesn't look away after staircase scene. He just observes all of red papers, which suddenly got increased in quantity (1 → 9).

[@Floodsye]

I'm so glad they succeeded with the remake. Nearly guarantees they'll be tapped to make further remakes. They've shown that they can not only recreate with respect to the originals, but also know where to improve upon things which would be excellent to bring the first game, third, etc. to modern audiences as those games do have some glaring mechanical flaws, limited voice-acting, etc. but still had solid sales back in the day.

[@rakukya1252]

0:45 so they actually do something, it's the first time i see them on since i got ps5

[@Huy-than-thien]

and some people said Silent Hill already dead and woke

[@selebodys]

thank goodness those stinky incels don't matter

[@chasel.9704]

Wait, are you saying incel losers who haven’t played a video game yet are mad at a video game?!

prolly you, since this franchise is fallen in weak devs, not in DEI cunts

[@Huy-than-thien]

@@chasel.9704 yeah, i mean if that toxic anti fan community becomes large then they can kill the Silent Hill brand by eliminating it like Concord (i use Concord as an example not because i think Concord is good but because the online community can call on a lot of customers to give up buying a game)

[@Mohawk_Productions]

lol so why was this getting a bad rep before it was dropped? So far from what I seen it looks amazing

[@Fuegoss]

1:45 That "JAMES!" is the exact same voice that you can hear in the hotel when you are near the room 312
