The one time I died playing the SH2 Remake was against Eddie. Every other boss had easy patterns that could be predicted with little trouble. But Eddie not only made use of the environment, he was pretty fast and dealt serious damage. That was a surprisingly exciting fight. It felt to me almost like a Metal Gear Solid series Boss fight for some reason.

Remake kinda reframes things, in the OG James fought Eddie cause he had no choice, Eddie attacked him and he had to fight for his life, in the Remake Eddie kinda gives him the choice to walk away, ofc he couldn't walk away but still, Eddie comes off as less of an agressor. Funnily enough, in the original this whole thing would've been avoided if James just kept his mouth shut lol

I mean Eddie put a gun in James' face and tried to kill him. I guess it depends on the perspective but for me he is the aggressor in the OG and the remake.

my god... seriously... this is what happens when nowdays we place someone as the "victim" even if they are at one point of no return, u can feel empathy for eddie but that doesnt take that he is pretty much nuts at this point and he is too far gone... james just talked to him like any other person would do, the scene is to show that eddie would be trigger with ease by anything at that point

[@JamesMartin-um7fq]

I mean not really, James wasn’t exactly able to leave the room during the fight in the remakw

[@holly9096]

In the Remake, James' crosshair doesn't tighten for accuracy while aiming. Instead, it shakes when you attempt to make James focus. James is afraid because he doesn't want to kill another human. (That, and it's cold in the freezer.) James' peculiar look after Eddie dies is him realizing that this feeling of killing someone is *familiar.*

[@broknight9718]

You know it's scary when you're facing a human in a horror story, as it feels real and with no supernatural elements. Eddie, Dahlia and Walter Sullivan can be pretty terrifying as they hit close to reality and that there's psychos like them out there.

[@christopherbrooks8979]

I like the more emotionally charged approach with Eddie's character in the remake, but the og feels scarier in terms of him being more psychotic. New Eddie really just makes me feel sad, which tbf is what the remake was going for so props for that.

[@midnightdoll_art]

I think the interpretations for both are great as they’re just different when it comes to build up and perspective; in the OG Eddie slowly becomes more deranged the longer he is in Silent Hill until having a psychotic break in his “world”. In the remake, Eddie isn’t as deranged but you just feel more sad for him, like you still have a chance to reason with him compared to the OG who just started shooting off the bat.

Nobody in the original was meant to sound normal and like in "real life" except Mary and Laura, because none of them are in the right frame of mind, including James, and they are in a dream/nightmarish reality, something in between worlds.

While the boss fight is objectively superior in the Remake, both the original and the remake's characterisations are great as they focus on a different angle for Eddie's character. The original makes it very clear that Eddie is suspicious and knows more than he lets on. And as the game progresses it becomes apparent that he has always been a violent, sadistic, manchild who constantly projects his insecurities onto others. All the while he sees himself as the victim and uses the guise of a fool to make sure people don't ask him any questions or consider him a threat. By the time we get to his boss fight, he just stops pretending. Whereas Remake Eddie comes off as more *genuinely unstable* on top of all the faults the original had. Like someone who really did need professional help, but now has conceded himself to his own madness.

In the OG, Eddie felt a little insane from the get-go, whereas with the Remake, we got to see more of a gradual descent into madness on his end. The result is that OG Eddie feels a little more surreal/nightmareish from the start, whereas with the Remake, he doesn't really become nightmare fuel until the end...but the nightmare is arguably more powerful since we saw the original state that he degraded from.

Same. I think it's mostly the "corpse can't laugh" speech. I like how more unhinged he turned out to be once the town let him indulge with his pleasures. It's also more haunting in how it's delivered with a smile and "showy" movements.

[@Smith-rb1qf]

Its because OG Eddie went on to play Bryan Fury in Tekken 4,5,6,7, and 8.

[@amornoro2076]

This new eddy literally wasted his bullet on a corpse and let james hit him and disarm him when he had a gun haha. So d*mb. Og2 eddy did better even when he missed a shot at james due to his not properly aimed shot he at least warned james.

[@komerihimura]

@@Smith-rb1qf Oh shit that’s cool

[@grey-spark]

I like how in the remake Eddie uses the players tactics against them. In the first phase Eddie does an ambush shotgun approach and by the end he shoots from a distance like he's using a rifle. It really does feel like a pvp fight.

[@Soneone.]

James' dialogue after the OG fight, especially after he repeats that he killed "a human being" was a big catalyst to my doubt for the whole "Mary died 3 years ago" idea on my first experience of SH2. Although the Remake makes it feel like similar thoughts are going through his head, we don't get that seedling of doubt that grows even more with the scene between him and Laura at the start of the hotel area. It's a shame it isn't in the Remake, but it's still amazing even without it imo

[@MrConredsX]

I like to think that instead seeing 4 types of monsters like James, Eddie mostly saw monsters that looked like dogs and his bully manifesting. For Eddie to get a redemption, he probably needed to come to terms with his deeds and at least once spare his bully, but he never did ALWAYS resolving to shooting the manifestation mocking him and finally he died still blaming everyone else never reaching peace.

[@areare1813]

In my opinion original is better

[@raptordan166]

OG had a better build up with the dread especially with the OST, but the remake handled it better with the writing and gameplay. The OG boss fight is laughably pathetic and took away whatever impact his psychotic break had.

[@marbzirc376]

Man, I can't take this shit seriously with Eddie looking like Jim Ross from WWE/AEW. It felt like he's about to go "BAWGAWD" any time.

​@@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753Nah it was goofy. Especially since the first encounter is them shooting each other multiple times in a small room.

[@coffeemode2159]

@@maliktp13 It's been a long time since I've played the original, so for a second while watching this comparison and seeing that first stand off in the small room I thought I was misremembering the fight and it was actually a lot more underwhelming than I remembered. I love OG Silent Hill 2, but even though both fights are basically two guys shooting each other repeatedly, it does come off more silly when they're visibly like five feet away taking turns blasting each other with guns. Especially when James goes over and is like 'Eddie?'

[@faithfulpeak3726]

nah that ain't Eddie thats Jimmy

[@echotheotter9541]

remake Eddie reminds me of the Late Chris Farley... RIP legend...

[@DonVecta]

Is it me or Eddie in Remake was made less sympathetic and more gross even since his introduction? The OG Eddie was still kinda likeable in a way, the Remake one has these qualities that makes him pretty unlikeable even from the beginning.

[@wolfrancerberus3261]

Of all the bosses in the remake compared to the original game, this is the only one I prefer in the original, especially because the scenes and the soundtrack generated a lot of tension. Also, although in the remake you understand the same thing, something I liked about that fight in the original was the end where James was expressly in shock not only for having killed Eddie, but for having killed "a human being" and that was noticeable in his voice, since then he began to doubt whether what he believed about Mary and the reason she was in the town was true.

⁠@@wolfrancerberus3261 Watching through some playthroughs of the OG Silent Hill 2 compared to the remake, it feels, laughable. I think in one clip, all Eddie did was go up to James and “twist his nipple,” which isn’t a bad thing, but hilarious nonetheless.

[@leafloev]

I prefer the OG Eddie. He looks and acts more like a disturbed person with a lot of rage and emptiness inside. The new one is too soft and timid and seem more depressed rather than disturbed.

[@mysterycharm03]

What I like in the OG is when James realized he killed a human being then starting to question himself if Mary really died 3 years ago. The town keeps on reminding him that he is indeed a murderer.

[@matthewscorner2990]

Gotta hand it to the remake here, personally. Most of the dialogue from Eddie, I could go either way on, but the fight itself, James' interaction with Eddie, and his silence after killing Eddie contrasted with OG James exclaiming his horror at killing a person, all just feels much more real and interesting to me. The fight alone looked pretty pathetic in the original game.

[@ThePhanntom]

I noticed that Remake Eddie is the only character you can see his breath in the air

[@fajile5109]

The Japanese style of not showing a dead persons face in this fight is interesting. It was also in sh3 you cant see harry masons face either until the remake ruined it that is. I feel like the camera work in the og is phenomenal.

[@xDivorex]

The remake definitely does a better job of making you feel horrible for killing him.

[@milesbbop9563]

There are too many personal changes in the remake. Because in the OG he shot James before the fight starts. It makes more sense to start fighting for your life then. The remake ruins that moment.

James' voice acting in the OG is so horrible. It's been 20 years since I've played the game but I honestly don't remember it being so bad. I love how they improved on the original in the remake and still kept the essence of the entire scene and fight.

Eddie on SH2 OG is not difficult at all but in Remake, Eddie gives me the biggest vibes of a serial killer although he only killed a dog and crippled an athlete. Maybe it is because, Eddie had killed a lot of that athlete repeatedly and finally it made him snap and become a cold-blooded serial killer in mindset
