[@marcraider]

maybe to not spoil the plot to new generations.

The remake's biggest flaw is not including this intro. One of the most memorable iconic moments for me is experiencing this intro in the original as a boy and the music sticking with me forever into adulthood.

[@alejandromomota6934]

You are indeed very strong, and I hope you pull through together

[@MistaGify]

Someone already said the remake's biggest flaw is not including this scene in the intro. I'd say its 2nd biggest one is not obscuring Maria's eyes in shadow. That REALLY highlighted how sinister she had become, between inexplicably surviving Pyramid Head's impalement and impersonating Mary.

[@rockycuro7737]

It looks like they kinda tried to go for that effect cause the shadows are heavy on her eyes, just not as big a contrast as in the original thanks to the newer lighting. I don’t mind it. Makes it feel just as strange to see her lifeless eyes

[@ryuji8781]

If you watch the scene again, they actually do give her eyes shadows like you said. The only difference is it doesn't show it until James looks away/leaves the room. The camera cuts back to Maria and she has a much more sinister look with her eyes shrouded in shadow, as if she were hiding her true intentions/feelings towards him up until he left.

[@meridiasbeacon7669]

this FMV literally spoils the whole game, sure it's a really cool FMV but it's actually really stupid to play this when someone plays the game for the first time. What's the point?? Removing it is absolutely the right decision

[@MistaGify]

@ Fair point! But it was so iconic, how original SH2 opened with it and that didn’t spoil anything, did it? Maybe the scene should have followed the credits and brought you back to the main menu after your 1st playthrough…

[@meridiasbeacon7669]

@ I think it did spoil, but then again different people consider different things as spoilers. For a game as mysterious and story heavy as Silent Hill, in my eyes almost anything is a spoiler. Even listening to the music before playing is a spoiler - a spoiler for the vibe the game is going for. Usually I don’t really care about spoilers, say, Dark Souls (which many ppl care about spoilers for) I didnt mind getting spoiled about because whether the next boss is a big snake or a big knight doesn’t really matter to me as long as they’re fun. But in Silent Hill (entire franchise) aswell as most horror/mystery stories and games, knowing anything at all is already a massive spoiler. I’m now watching the KZbinr About Oliver play the game, and he had never heard of a single thing about SH2, it’s his first time and watching him actually theorize that this might be a zombie game is awesome. I wish I hadn’t seen this intro when I played SH2 many years ago, because it kind of told me what the story is gonna be. I love seeing Oliver now genuinely discover the nature of the town and the psychological horror at play (and the fact that this even is a psychological horror game) on his own, the game becomes so much more fascinating when these things are discovered naturally. He still hasn’t figured it out btw, he still thinks there’s some experiment gone wrong in the town, and even had a theory about aliens (the game sets this up with the lights in the sky thing).

[@Bio_HazardProtogen]

that transition of Theme of Laura gradually shifting into the og version was top notch, bravo

[@idkdc2615]

I love how you included the weird "flesh door" from the labyrinth cause it really resembles that scene of the intro with all the mannequins

[@Medicalguy]

Stroke of genius by blooper tbh. What a cool use of those visuals. Especially that part where you have to force through them

[@Heroxigon]

This could be a cool Mod idea actually

[@Drakleftw]

Let's make it! Pretty sure the main menu screen is a video anyway. If not, wouldn't be hard to change it. Do we have your permission @Studio?

[@cafemocha1870]

@@Drakleftw i gave it a shot but it uses bk2 video format which i have to pay a license for an encoder on bink's sdk. i then ran into the issue of the audio and video playing from 2 separate places and no way around having to buy a license

[@teklisbenzi]

@@cafemocha1870 So that means the game uses bk2 by default which I think there is no way to play any other format or bypass the bk2 video decoder. That sucks.

[@Xammie98]

Omg this is sooo amazing! I appreciate the scenes you added at 0:53 and 3:08 you stayed loyal to the original! As a die hard SH fan all I can is THANK YOU for editing this

[@chamaquense]

I TOUGHT THIS WAS UPLOADED BY KONAMI HOLY SH-THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was missing the intro when I saw gameplays on KZbin

[@justin99752]

This feels mostly so accurate! Why didn’t Konami even make one at all?

[@Im-insanity-uwu]

Let them cook one by one ❤❤❤

[@DemetedP]

The original had unique cutscenes that weren't in the main game, so they would've had to make those solely for an intro.

[@SpookyDollhouse]

@@DemetedP Oh gee that's so unreasonable wow

[@DemetedP]

@@SpookyDollhouse I'm not saying that they shouldn't have because ideally they should've, but I recognize why they didn't since intro FMVs aren't as commonplace in games as they used to be. Though not perfect, the story trailer does pay tribute to the intro in its sequencing, albeit with Promise instead.

[@StudioMod]

@@DemetedP The 4 cutscenes that weren't in the main game that were supposed to be were: 1. Eddie & Laura by the white van. This sequence was supposed to play after the hospital, outside during the night. Laura would run off again, but you could talk to Eddie who was trying to figure out a way out of town by examining his map. 2. Angela running in the windows. This was supposed to be seen as you approach the Lakeview Hotel. This is likely her running from more Abstract Daddies, which populated that location in the base game, showing that she is still tormented and it never ends for her even after you saved her once. 3. Laura walking into the room. This was supposed to play after James watched the video tape as Laura entered the room and was happy to finally locate James. 4. James carrying Mary through the prison. This was supposed to play during the ending sequence, showing him carry her body after he picks her up from the bed when she finally succumbs in the final conversation between the two of them. ...The ones with the jail cell, the mannequins intertwined, and Maria laying on the stage were all probably just extra shots they made for promotional stuff. It's possible the Maria one was somehow implemented in the game (maybe she'd lay down on the stage after going ahead of you and there would be an in-engine moment where she'd get up when you tried to leave.)

[@lulu.2896]

This is to recreate that one E3 trailer, isn't it?! Beautiful!!

[@ghhgafzan]

Nope, it’s to recreate the FMV/opening you’ll watch when you open the game in the original

[@StudioMod]

@@ghhgafzan Took a tiny bit of inspiration from both to compensate for a missing scene or two, but yeah, it's primarily the intro from the main menu.

[@KilledByKangaroo]

My two favorite parts of the original intro was Eddie and Laura next to the white van and Angela running through the house.

[@dansalinas]

It's unbelievable that this intro is not in the remake, it's part of SH2's identity just as much as the intros for SH1 and SH3, especially the latter. Great job, btw.

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

Exactly!! This should've at least been an unlockable when you beat the game. Makes you wonder if it was Bloober's or Konami's decision to not include an intro as the new OST begins with Theme of Laura like in the original. I think I will put this video and watch it every time before I play the game.

[@BatmanBaggins]

Look, I love the original, and it stands on its own, but I also love just the way he says "How do you know about that?" in this one. The inflection is perfect.

I really miss Laura's line. "Huh? Are you blind or somethin?"

[@StudioMod]

I really never understood that line myself. But I agree.

[@gio_graphy]

@@StudioMod Laura and Mary were in the same medical facility, where James on ocassion would visit her at. Meaning that Laura has at the very least seen James during the visits, Mary told him who he was and thats why she was able to tell who he was just by looking at him physically without him introducing himself. So the line "huh are you blind or something?" is basically an 8 years old way of saying "You seriously dont recognize me??".

[@Karmas.Wasabi]

@@StudioMod she's the only one who sees Silent Hill as a normal town. She doesn't see monsters or even the fog. For a very deep dive into accurate Silent Hill lore I'd highly recommend Twin Perfect's The Silent Hill Experience series on KZbin. It's very long but worth it.

Thank you. thank you and again thank you for this. It's just the perfect balance of the original version's essence with the remake's astonishing graphics, immersion and storytelling. I wish Bloober Team had included some kind of intro like this. I mean the remake's trailers and teasers are pretty good but this is exactly what all of them had to be. Brilliant.

[@ShippoFoxD]

Mastefully done. I'm surprised they didn't make it for the remake, but I understand why. I think it would've been cool to have unlocked after completion of the game but still the remake is my game of the year easily. Good work on Bloober, and I hope they keep this energy up.
