"I got a game, the name on the cover said Silent Hill 2, my favourite horror game's name. It's ridiculous! Couldn't possibly be true, that's what I keep telling myself... A Ps5 can't play a Ps2 game. My favourite game died with my damn Ps2, 3 years ago."

[@lukaszzylik4437]

The SH2 remake is a masterpiece. The game blew the fuck up since its release and i cant wait until you play. Holy crap its really something else.

[@ashfiqedits47]

@@lukaszzylik4437 Good game, but mediocre Remake..

[@lukaszzylik4437]

@@ashfiqedits47 strong disagree. Best remake ever made. Even better than the GameCube REmake. Bloober Team nailed the assignment. They kept it the same where it mattered and improved on it where it needed improving. It's getting universally praised everywhere for a good reason, but I respect your opinion though. It won over most diehard Silent Hill fanboys like myself. That's saying something. I have two tattoos on me, one is the seal of Metatron on my left shoulder blade and the Halo of the Sun on my right, and I was prepared to hate this game lol.

[@ashfiqedits47]

@@lukaszzylik4437 this is a bait by a Normie but I will reply anyway, don't read if you have short attention span. "Spoiler Alert" universally praised by New generation gamers and normies who never played the original. The game is another Victim of Toxic positivity.. Ruined pyramid head, because of "mOdErn aUdiEnc Ce", Pyramid head supposed to represent James' guilt, Rage, and sexual desires, when they completely butchered the 3rd part because of Woke DEI breathing down there neck, it lost its meaning, ruined Maria's Appearance and her voices in more part, Her entire point of existence was because of being the perfect version of Mary, flirtier, sexier, and she has a giant head, giant man Jaw, another censorship victim, no no no we can't have hot women in games anymore. Completely missed the point of Maria'a most iconic moment(the jail scene). You don't trust her voice is worse? (Just listen the original hallway conversation vs Remake) Angela's voice acting is worse than the original lmao especially the burning building scene. Her face is ugly AF lol, James doesn't look at Maria's a$$(like the original) oh but we can have that he can't cHeAt on his dead wife, the mOdErN aUdIEnCe wont like it. The point was James being a morally grey character lol. You fight 300+ enemies with 3 types over and over again, so the horror elements are much worse, Combat feels more like a chore and like resident evil than silent hill. I can go on and on. If silent hill 2 og didn't exist it would be a great game, but it's 7/10 at best, definitely not a masterpiece unless you are a Normie...

[@juandiegoescobarlondono6095]

And in contrast to other remakes, this one adds more scenes and dialogues that improve on the original, like the final part of the hotel in which the monsters begin to die when James realizes the truth.

16:32 that's a reference to the movie Jacob's Ladder, which was one of the main inspirations for Silent Hill as a series. It's basically the father of modern psychological horror.

[@theocan]

I love them reacting to some of James's decisions with just pure confusion. It really sets just how off James is with his decision making. There is a lot of horror and psychological horror out there but I feel pretty comfortable saying that Silent Hill 2 is the THE best psychological ever made. The level of detail hidden in the world, characters, cutscenes & enemies is second to none. Especially when you know the twist and everything just starts piecing together.

[@simondelisle9310]

That was the reaction I was looking for ! Silient Hill 2 is game of the year, I absolutely loved it.

Noone really expected Bloober Team to hit this out of the park, since their track record has been spotty, but this has been a masterpiece of a remake.

[@TheForbiddenSpoiledMilk]

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well I'm alone there now... In our 'special place'... Waiting for you."

[@MaskedSongbird]

It's implied through his depression, though never outright stated, that James came to Silent Hill already feeling suicidal, which explains a lot of his questionable decision making when it comes to going towards danger without a second thought, and why he reacts to a lot of the horror with kind of a flat affect and nothing more than mild surprise for the most part.

[@michael.tardaguila]

Silent Hill 2 Remake is an excellent masterpiece by Bloober Team, noting the fact the original Silent Hill 2 was considered a sales failure back in 2001 by Team Silent. The game is a representational artform where I believe (This is my opinion and interpretations) that James is already dead (or somewhat his body is unconscious) after taking SUICIDE (my guess is just about one to three weeks after ending Mary's life, or maybe also by time loop because the deity forbids leaving the fog world). The locations where you could find the words, "There was a hole here. it's gone now", has meaning in reference to Silent Hill 4: The Room. The protagonist, Harry, can travel to at least three dimensions (reality, fog world/purgatory, and otherworld/hell), BUT can ONLY traverse the dimension through "the hole" or when someone is fighting for their life (dead or unconscious). Also, in Silent Hill 1 Movie, no one is allowed to leave the fog world in Silent Hill unless permission is given by the cult's deity. James' soul is delusional and somehow trapped to find his lost memories in Silent Hill. His soul is either to be RESURECTED (Rebirth if died or be released to fog world if unconscious) or become a sacrifice to INCUBUS (Alessa), the cult of the Order's deity. In reference to Maria DLC of original Silent Hill 2, entitled "born from a wish", and also in Silent Hill 3, where their concept coincides, "the wish" did not came from James but from Alessa. In order to make James become a sacrifice to the demonic god-like entity. In SH4 and SH: Homecoming, the entity, after sacrificing 21 souls, would require another sacrifice thereafter to remain existing. And James, serves this purpose, the DLC Born from a wish, was not actually from James but by Alessa. The Pyramid-head man is actually the executioner of the cult. They help serve the deity by making sacrifices. If James is a SINNER, he deserves to die. But several instances of Pyramid-head encounters and cut-scenes suggests otherwise. James is INNOCENT. The idea of the executioner, even back from the middle-ages in Europe, wears a red (suggest it was from a cult) or brown cone-like cloth (not metal in the game) head covering face, to conceal the beheader of a convicted criminal (reference to images found on the internet and in-game content, inside Toluca Prison). The wish, where through psyche - influence people like Maria. She has facial resemblance to Mary (but not body figure and personality. Also, Maria is blonde and blue-eyes, while Mary is a brunette and hazel-eyes) to make James REGRET his action to end Mary's life. Angela is a rape victim, to imply Mary is VICTIM. Eddie is a serial killer, suggesting that James is a MURDERER. Laura is a child Mary did not have, even said, "You DIDN'T LOVE her anyway." In addition to this, I would say NO when they say Maria is an imagination, and it is big coincidence that she is Mary's look-alike, because during Silent Hill 2 DLC: Born from a Wish, Maria is a person who works in Heaven's Night as a Bartender. Just like Angela Orosco, who lives near Silent Hill Lumberyard, because her father, Thomas Orosco is a lumberjack. Her mistake was to follow James to Silent Hill after asking him why he has to go. James said to look for someone special. Angela actually feels that her mother is still in Silent Hill after leaving them. After entering Silent Hill, Angela is also became trapped inside the fog. Back to Maria, all her relations in work left because of the monster sightings. It frightens them. She is independent, liberated and brave woman. She handles a revolver from the Bar's office and grabs a Chinese knife. By then, she decided to follow the others who left. She left her safe place in Heaven's Night Bar. She tries to survive the horror and finds way how to escape the fog (But in reference to Silent Hill 1 Movie, the town does not permit anybody leaving if the fog is already settled). She founds the Baldwin Mansion open. Inside, she helped Ernest Baldwin to find a "white liquid", or in other game called "white chrism", from Blue Creek Apartment to supposedly miraculously bring her dead daughter back, Amy (one of the 21 sacrifices to summon the cult's deity). She found herself doubting and delusional about the idea of resurrection. After undergoing such terror and finding out that she was speaking to a ghost, but I believe Ernest is speaking from the other dimension. Also, I think Ernest is an occult member. Also, I found a striking notion to remember with Ernest is that he was surprised after meeting Maria, and said, "Oh, you must be...". I guess, Maria is the representation of the GOBLET, James is the White Chrism, but the Philosopher's stone (or Book of Lost souls) is unknown. All three or four are combined, in order to revive or summon the cult of the Order's Deity Goddess. Then he asks her to be careful about James, that he is a danger (as the cult presumes). She pursues to find him, otherwise. I believe the summoned powerful entity is preparing James, and Maria is one of the objects to start this test. The dimension theory where there are at least three (3): (1) Reality, (2) Fog world (in Catholic Christianity is called Purgatory), and (3) the otherworld (or Hell). James seems to be delusional and has amnesia, because he is in Purgatory. His soul is searching (similar to Silent Hill 4) for answers. For Alessa to take his soul as a sacrifice, James must kill himself by suicide. His corruption (SH4) is evident by having dirty fingers and bugged eyes as game progresses (also when taking too much damage - his back literally shows corruption). Alessa made a way for other people to influence this (Alessa's wish). The best ending could be about REBIRTH (reference to other video bloggers idea about "Tibetan Book of the Dead"), and the worst ending could be about ending James life by SUICIDE where he literally drove his car to lake and die drowning. This achieves Alessa's wish to make James willingly sacrifice his soul to INCUBUS. (As the executioner has doubt if James is guilty or INNOCENT --- three times shown during boss fights and cut scenes when the executioner literally ignores him or leaves uninterestedly after some time). I believe Pyramid-head is the Executioner. Well, executioner back in the middle-ages in Europe, wearing Cone-like cloth head covering (not metal) before beheading a convicted criminal, to conceal who he is. Pyramid-head helps the cult's deity to offer chosen sacrifices by hunting and killing them. But not in James's case, you see, I believe James is not guilty for killing Mary, he is INNOCENT. Evident many ways the Pyramid-head always do when meeting James in cut-scenes and boss fights. The executioner is doubtful and ignores James all the time. In the two Pyramid-head boss fight, the BGM (background music) is entitled "Betrayal" in SH2 Official Soundtrack. The Executioner is actually disregarding the cult of Orders principle of not slaying the innocent, in order to offer a soul to the chosen vessel of the deity. This is because in part to what Alessa (vessel of the deity) would otherwise will do. In Maria DLC, born from a wish, is not James's wish, but of Alessa's wish. In order to acquire James soul, the entity manipulated people like Maria, who resembles Mary in face but not body, personality, blue-eyes, and blonde hair, while Mary is pale, conservative, hazel-eyes, and brunette hair. Maria crossed path to make James regret taking Mary's life. Angela is a rape victim, to imply Mary is a victim. Eddie is a serial killer, to suggest James is a murderer. Laura is a child Mary didn't had, who despise him, even saying, "You didn't love her anyway." All these manipulations, to suggest James to end his life by suicide, in contrast to the executioner, which is doubtful as it believes James is innocent. I'm stilled puzzled between the relationship of Maria and Mary. Mary is supposed to be a sacrifice for the summoning or a victim. As shown from an image of pyramid head with hanged rectangular structures in Toluca Prison. In relation to Mary boss fight when she changes to a ghostly figure with rectangular structure. While Maria who died several times while with James suggested that from DLC born from a wish, when Ernest Baldwin got surprised when speaking to Maria, "Oh! you must be...", suggests otherwise. She is the representation of the Goblet, while James is the White Chrism, and the Philosopher's stone is their child. The cult's demonic deity goddess DOESN'T want Maria to die because the next person it will possess is James's offspring (but I also believe she got CORRUPTED by doing these, in reference to Maria leave ending and SH4, she is unwell). Mary and Maria are different person. Maria's version of a special place is Heaven's Night Bar and Rosewater Park, which suggests she is a liberated and strong woman who fights to survive all odds, in reference to statues and landmarks she made remarks. While Mary is an elegant, subtle and sweet lady who enjoys Laura and James company. It is just a big coincidence that they somehow resemble facial image.

The original Silent Hill 2i s truly a masterpiece of psychological horror. The themes are so deep and can be missed if you were only thinking about it surface-wise. I'm still a bit hesitant about the Remake as I have almost a slavish devotion to how impeccable of a game the original PS2 Silent Hill 2 is, but so many people have told me it's pretty good. I'm hopeful. My favorite thing was after the first trailer, Ken saying "I still don't know what's going on, and it didn't give away the whole story or anything." In a way, completely accurate. In another, once you understand the depth of storytelling, the themes, and the plot, you know it's all beautifully packed up in there.

A game that set new standards back then. I didn't play the original myself, but my girlfriend did a few years later, as I preferred watching horror films and she played horror games, so we complemented each other. While Resident Evil was always more about the thrill, Silent Hill is much closer to the original element of horror, namely psychological horror. A difficult topic about ab*se, men's control over women, drugs, etc. All not easy to digest the situation in this game.. but it is and remains a successful remake and a good horror story. And horror stories always reflect society. Never forget that
