Even though the music that plays is very short, it feels so serene, just like nostalgia

[@whoIsV]

The sound effect they chose is really great for showing memory.

[@JHplays05]

Fr bruh !

[@Half-V]

the vfx too

[@mikkdc]

3:04 I love that they gave Maria that "Deja vu" line, considering in another "life", this was the entrance to Heaven's Night.

[@Absurdword]

Same. It's a fun hint that this Maria is connected to the original in a mythic sense. Very cool.

[@arthurramirez5665]

​@@Absurdwordbecause this is secretly a sequel. Not a remake.

[@tocide]

​@@arthurramirez5665it could be that the writer tried to make it seem like James will never get out of this psychological craziness

I love how even the camera angles match for some of them.

[@TheAlanRaptor]

I love how they're not in the game anymore, but you can still see them there to miss them even more.

[@FightOstinFight]

So glad they added these. It’s more nostalgia. A nice reminder of the original game

[@bullcheese2236]

Because of this and the new UFO ending, people are theorizing that either the OG and remake James are different entities, or that James is forever stuck on a loop. Going through the events of the game over and over again. I don't like this theory because it would mean that not only James is suffering forever, but poor Angela is too.

It's funny how some people still saying remake ruined the legacy of the original , what makes the gaming industry failing now is not remake , it's the toxic fan base .

[@MrKutKuGaruga96]

Actually no, is greedy companies the real problem and the lack of quality coming from them

[@JsHutton10]

I’m a proud owner of both games in their physical forms . I played the OG sh2 annually around sept/October but now since this release I can honestly tell I’m going back to revisit the remake more now… Honestly … the way I look at it now team silent gave us an amazing foundation for blooper to add blocks to and perfect 23 years later.

[@albertoflores400]

So many streamers missed this 1st reference which made me a little sad that they didn't notice key points from the original game. Not naming anyone out but these streamers also played the original.

[@telefrag.]

The first reference is in a completely different spot from the original. It looks similar, but it's just a blocked tunnel after all. It doesn't immediately stand out as a reference.

[@Terminated_Account]

Those streamers were either new or posers then lol

[@Thechomp1eman]

I did too and while it looked familiar it had been so long I forgot what it was

[@alfydarkdeadly]

As someone who played the original only once - the first memory is the only one that made me remember something happened in the tunnel. Throughout finishing the game I completely forgot about the others. After finishing the game I came here and still don’t remember a lot of these memories as most of them are just where items used to be so they were forgotten from myself.

[@hectorgodgame9213]

I dont remembered clearly but in 1 map where a lot of ladders , when you climbed down 1 ladder in the center, a pyramid just appeared behind, looking James going down but if I tried to climb up and come to see him. He immediately ran away 😂 and he wont reappear.

[@aytony4090]

Oh yeah that spooked me out (was at the end of the Labyrinth before the Eddie fight)

[@Addventurawr]

yeah i tried to run after him but he was too fast, woulda been funny if you could fight him lol

[@Smilesincity]

MADRE MIA , gracias !!!! Estaba esperando que alguien subiera las referencias de los "atisbos del pasado" 10/10 man

[@TheDim3]

It’s really great what they’ve done with such a celebrated property without it feeling like overt fan service. The subtlety goes a very long way, especially for the more obscure Easter eggs such as the whispers. Lovely video❤

[@Adnaplays]

Finally, someone really mentioned the reason of the remake flashbacks!

[@MrApoorvaSingh753]

Oh Wow 😮 they did go well beyond this.

[@The_Real_Raidou]

So nostalgic hope they do the same if they remake 1 because I know everything about that game 🤣

[@AnonymousC2218]

I wouldn't want them to do that, they should just keep it one to one, besides it wouldn't make sense to do so because 1 isn't about "purgatory" or "facing your demons"

[@The_Real_Raidou]

@@AnonymousC2218 I mean to be real it doesn’t make too much sense that you see SH3 references either. But it doesn’t matter because it’s just a throw back. That’s all it is.

[@wickedpanik8304]

I seriously hope they remake 1 and 3. Those two coincide and need to be made together.

[@wickedpanik8304]

​@AnonymousC2218 you can't even get ahold of the first game anymore without emulators and edgelords like you highpricing everything.

[@AnonymousC2218]

@@wickedpanik8304 What part of my comment said that I don't want to a Silent Hill 1 remake? I said I wouldn't want them to do references like how they did in the Sient Hill 2 remake and keep it one to one like the original Silent Hill 1. Learn to read properly you misfit.

[@Heycoolyo]

For their subtle puzzle and layout changes.... I appreciate Bloober's implement of this

[@kitkeepswalking]

This wasn’t environmental but something that always stuck out to me in the original that they payed service to in the remake as well- when you are approaching the historical society if you go beyond the building and towards the end of the road, a mannequin flies out from behind one of the billboards. In the remake when you do this and find the note at the end of the road, you’ll hear bodies hitting the ground and find two mannequins lying in the middle of the road.

[@mandawins02]

i love the footstep sound from older games

[@Ahamid.m]

Thank you good sir for posting this 🙏👍

[@mariereleite8523]

It would be interesting to compare the puzzles between the old and the new.

[@FatherOlivine]

As someone who's new to the fandom, I can finally understand why these places exist. It's just only a reference to the original.

Well, now you know.

[@isaiahren8450]

[@FatherOlivine]

@@isaiahren8450 yeah. It's just a reference to something the original game itself.

​@@FatherOlivineThis game is poorly written, silent Hill makes no sense at all ..I'm told the monsters are manifestation of James but u have dead people on the streets leaving notes on how to fight the monsters that only James can see lol smh

[@stnorocwzo]

​@@Courntey-e1x4kand all the people on the street are James. Meaning they're part of his world. Making it make sense. Look at the bodies properly next time.

[@franciscof6984]

So genial, these glimpses from moments of the original game.

[@thereapershowx3detodounpoc173]

Its not about this places are a reference, it really tells you that this adventure is not new for james but its another run for him, like the bodies we found on the original game, this time we are on another round with silent hill

[@sgtspicy5216]

Seems to me that this sort of implies the loop theory, given the multiple other references to it in the remake wirh Maria getting Deja Vu at certain points like she knows what's about to happen. I imagine Silent Hill is changing with every loop. Small things like different encounters and destroyed puzzles. Its interesting to note how much more blatant it is now that we have a closer camera that we can see all the corpses in SH2 being James because it might be that those are him from previous loops, leaving notes behind to warn himself in the case that he forgets at the start of every loop. The puzzles though are interesting in that it's either SH that is changing it every loop or perhaps a past James destroyed them out of frustration/anger? Perhaps all of this is the towns way of punishing James for refusing to learn the lesson. After all given loop theory, its potentially possible that he's completed all endings in the original game other than leave. I think the smaller detail that adds to the whole SH is getting sick of James' BS is how Pyramid Head in the first cutscene he's in more directly looks at James in the closet and seems more restless/pissed off. Just straight up tanking and no selling the gunshots.

[@chrisprilloisebola]

finally a vid with the every glimpse

[@stregahex]

3:56 No One mentions The Bull Key on the left side of the typewriter.

[@DREMONEYSNIPERYT]

I like to make a little theory in my head that not only are these for nostalgia references but SH2 Remake is a different timeline/universe and the new James is visiting the original James spot hence the UFO ending 😁

[@barbarbar3084]

Kinda feels like this game takes place after the events of og SH2. Its like Silent Hill 2-2

[@andrevieri1804]

I realize this was a throwback when i reach the place where i supposed fighting pyramid head in small room but now that place is pretty much a transition from 2nd floor to 1st floor

[@katya5573]

I’m against remakes getting GOTY cuz they aren’t particularly a game of “this year” even though I’m OG silent hill fan I think Wukong would probably beat it… still *to me* Silent Hill is the best game and will always be my ABSOLUTE favorite.

[@TH3SLEEPING]

I was waiting for this, thanks a lot!

[@maymax6184]

All of this references to the og games and people still complaining "ITS SUCH A DISGRACE TO THE OG, THE OG IS BETTER, THE REMAKE IS NOT FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL" i don't think haters like this even played the remake yet, and yapping the information they got on some streamer or short vid they saw on the internet, i know because i was hating on bloober team before when sh hd collection is released but now with this new remake from them i forgive them

[@_Paul_N]

Most people that whine and crucifies a game nonstop typically never plays the game. It’s the new dude-bro/gooner trend.

Would it be awesome too if there’s an actual flash back of the original for that particular glimpse of the past after it had been interacted by the player in the game. Happy there’s a nod to original SH2 in this remake & thanks for the comparison video. I actually couldn’t forget the first one out of all them.

[@Maurilustrador]

Thanks to the random photos you find and the hidden message they have we now can confirm the **SPOILER** the loop theory where James has been trapped and repeating the story again and again... the message reads "You''ve been here for two decades" This also makes the remake not a retelling of SH2, but rather another repetition of the loop. Awesome!

why does james look so different? normally, when they do remakes, the character looks the same but with better graphics but this looks like a different person

They modeled all the characters off of their voice actors instead of how they looked in the old version. I don't care for that choice either.

I actually don't like too much references in games because in this case it spark off people making new theories that James is in a time loop revisiting and torturing himself eternally in silent hill. It made all the endings irrelevant by then and I also don't like the idea of people being punished forever just because of one mistake in life. He went through one round of purgatory for his sin it should be enough already. Every soul deserves peace and deliverance in the end.

​​@@RezaChilling123yeah but that's to symbolize he had a death wish. But it really doesn't help that they've fleshed out the story about the woman from Silent Hill who was cast out on an island had a lover who would constantly try to get to her every night till he perished. Because thematically speaking, that can be used to corroborate the theory's legitimacy. That he tries over and over and over... Never quits till he no longer can try.
