Silent Hill 2 Remake Version Differences [1.00 vs 1.03]

[@Thekempy]

To clear up any potential confusion: Patch 1.03 has been out since launch. The only way to see 1.00 is to deliberately never update the disc copy of the game on PS5. The Steam version already had the updates included in its release, so there is no way to see this old content on PC. No, I didn't mislabel any of the clips. There are indeed things that were broken with the updates. If you want to see the unpatched Dog ending in fullscreen, click here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpK4mJywia-Jrac

Ah, cause I was confused with the Steam version since I've played SH2 as soon as the deluxe edition is out.

Thing what you see - it's a treasure.

[@seesamsose]

I was confused since my game looked exactly like 1.03.

[@rtoriz21]

Could you one day make a video of the ending of Stillness but with the original version of Overdose Delusion? I think this would make it more broken and it would be perfect.

[@Sammmmmmmm617]

Thanks for the clarification

[@Superdude_01]

2 things: 1)i REALLY wish they kept the flesh walls moving. that wouldve been really unsettling.. 2) the 1.0 version of the angela staircase scene looks miles better. u see the fire light reflecting off the characters it looks so good.

[@spicydong317]

Even the light bouncing off her face had better fidelity. wtf?

[@Xuffy0904]

the 1.0 staircase scene kinda hurts my eyes lol, maybe thats why

[@ShiningEternity]

Orange is too saturated and distracting.

[@03chrisv]

It's probably an artistic choice because the fire isn't really there. It's a manifestation, and it isn't really emitting light, so there shouldn't be any bounce lighting or reflections from the fire. It makes it look more surreal imo.

[@NaldinhoGX]

At least for the first two seconds it looks better, because it is just way too saturated and bright to the point the characters appear gloomy, it hurts to watch, plus the brightness/exposure is poorly set, which becomes noticeable from a certain angle. Besides, the fire isn't really supposed to be there - it's just what James is seeing in his own perception, thus making sense it not being able to fully interact with the scenery.

[@YBAM]

the fact they change the camera in the first cutscene with Angela to match the original one camera rotation IS Amazing

[@furiousapplesack]

Very true, people were never really shown from a front-facing perspective in the original (none of the first 4 originals, as far as I can remember). Front-facing is too grounded, and it lacked the off-putting nature of OG camera angles, or slightly tilted, etc.

[@DeadEndScreamer]

Bare minimum is amazing by today's standards apparently.

[@tntbomber793]

​@@DeadEndScreamerit looked just fine in the first version. Not having every single camera angle match is fine as long as the scene works well and carries the right energy which it did but going ahead and matching the camera angles anyway is still a nice touch from the devs and it's always good to see good small improvements like that. Yes I understand that "amazing" is a bit of a stretch but come on considering it the bare minimum as if the scene was just broken or bad before is more than a little too much.

[@DeadEndScreamer]

i assume they were afraid that fans would say that the depiction of moving flesh and breathing might have been not subtle enough. but what ended up happening by changing it to unmoving walls is turning it into a boring hallway. most people i watched playing this part totally missed the moving pipes in the ceiling.

[@YouYubeEnjoyerNum1]

@@Acantophis3rd I think that's the point. The pipes are far up in the celling because they didn't want it to be too obvious like the moving pistons in holes in the OG. However, I'd argue that making it unsettling with animated walls, even if it makes it obvious, is better than just being boring static flesh walls.

[@Acantophis3rd]

@@YouYubeEnjoyerNum1 Or, they could have been just made the holes in the wall move in and out like the original? Hmm? They didn't do it in either version of the patch.

[@NicoleHam]

I can totally explain the fire scene color and visual changes. its simple: oversaturated fire and heatwarp everywhere + depending on the fire emission as a light source itself means you lose all the hard work and detail in the character acting. They also dont have a lot in the game with just straight "orange" fire, theres a lot of amber tones with the diffused light of the environment leading up to that scene, so coloring the fire now matches it a lot better. The bloom is really overkill in 1.0 too, they really made it less so, you can actually see now. The characters are now really clear and well lit, its a great mix of both lighting them proper and the fire being a main element in the scene. The staircase scene reminds me a lot of the more "heated" scenes in hereditary now, iykyk lol, no spoilers. Wonder if it was a reference for the new pallete. They also wanted to downplay how "hot" it actually was and made the flames feel more psychological , with them ramping up a bit more at the end, note the new placement of the fire "closing" behind her like a curtain in 1.03. A ton of work and great changes all around in framing and composition here. As someone who has done comp with fire, its easy to start at 11 and realize you need to turn things down and mess with color a lot more. Fire is super hard to "play with" in realtime lit scenes too.. pun unintended. Add the dynamic range / hdri you can mess with in modern games and it doesnt surprise me they did an edit with more subtle tones

[@eurodude1991]

14:15 they should have kept the walls moving, its so cool and symbolic!

After reading some of these comments it all boils down to this: it's all subjective. In the end, they made the choice to patch to 1.03. Some will like it, some won't. It's always a tough decision for the devs to go through with these kinds of choices (trust me, it really is as I've had to design/develop some stuff for university). The game is still great, the game still looks great and plays well. It's really cool when people make these kinds of videos though, because it's a kind of catalogue/record keeping, and personally I'll always appreciate that.

[@monkeyroby]

They really did Angie dirty tho, the 'alive' flesh walls were part of the visual metaphor and heavily symbolical, getting rid of it somehow weakens the last part of the cutscene (it is perfect otherwise, I wouldn't miss the metal pumps straight on the face when you enter her room in the OG if they kept the last part like in 1.00... oh well). And as for the staircase scene, I also preferred the realistic blazing fire, it really gets the point across that it's Angela's nightmare we're seeing RN. The greenish-yellow hue is thematically James' color palette, as Eddie's is grey-blue and Angela's hell is rosy/pink/red. The red shadows effect on her face was PHENOMENAL, she really did look like a lost soul engulfed in hellfire... ç_ç PH's movements are cool either way, still scary and creepy WTF. I thought for a moment they were going to give us a frontal shot of the mannequins scene LOL

[@robinhoney4874]

Although I'd argue that the staircase scene shows us what JAMES perceives is Angela's hell, I agree. They could have gone for a mix btw the blazing saturated red and the fact that it is not really there, perhaps by showing its effects on Angela's face but not James idk Back pedaling on the flesh walls was a misstep, I'm afraid they made them censor it (I swear these days the difference btw shocking and offensive is LOST to the West wtf)

[@alekseimanohhin657]

They also updated the full set of animations with chainsaw: - the way he stands with it - they way he runs/walks with it - They've removed the stomp with leg hit animation with chainsaw equpped with later patches - I think they also changed a bit animation for breaking windows with chainsaw but I'm not sure - And the slice hit with chainsaw became much more impactful - the idle animation/reference to lollipop chainsaw became a bit laggy at the ending of the animation by later patches - they listened to critique and added some camera shaking work during the combat with meele attacks to make it more impactful. (Compare the gameplay trailer that showed the Pyramid Head boss fight at the end of it) - They adjusted the zoom of the aiming of different weapons - The flashes from shooting the Pyramid Head to its head were much brighter (Also compared to the mentioned above gameplay trailer) - The way Pyramid Head reacted to getting shot from the pistol to the arm while he approaches you was also a bit updated. He's arms and the whole model don't swing to the random directions with each contact of the bullet. - The cutscenes had 50/50 chance to start working with some sort of micro stutters or as if you would play with much less Hz than your monitor/TV actually shows. Also the cutscene when you approach and the very first monster for the very first time (when James didn't realise that it wasn't human yet) didn't have the transition from the gameplay to cutscene but still has it from the cutscene to the gameplay. - Unfortunately, there was no opprtunity to switch off that stupid red screen when you have low HP

@@LoreDanka87 It's probably a limitation with how Unreal Engine pulls off some of the visual effects.

Weirdly enough, I actually said to my roommate after getting the "Stillness" ending that I wish they had used the letter reading there instead of during the "In Water" ending. I can't believe it's actually oriented that way in the 1.00 version. I wish they hadn't changed it.

[@eded9157]

Wait, the frost windows glitch looks worse? Or you mess up the footage label?

[@Thekempy]

No mess up, it got worse with updates

[@friskflowerfell9689]

I loved the flesh walls moving and the way the fire reflected on them during Angela’s scene. But anyways, I still love that game so much!

[@MrTheMaximka]

Thank god they changed glimpse of the past sound.The 1.03 version gives me mystery vibes.

[@SiIverDragon]

The new Fire looks like a big downgrade there is much less sparks flying around and fire looks damp ....

[@milesbbop9563]

Staircase is horrible. The characters do not cast shadows on themselves anymore. Removed the reg volumetric fog. 21:03 does show Angelas nose or hair casting a shadow. THEY REMOVE LIGHTING. DOWNGRADE

[@SoullessMadness]

Ha! the frosted windows were fine in version 1.00 ...and the breathing flesh walls need to make a comeback! SMH

[@brunoricardo38]

Many things look better on 1.0 especially the fire scene.

[@RalphJudd]

Wow crazy how different they are!

[@lambolim2178]

I like the 1.00 dog ending better but unfortunately due to the toxic community bloober team decided to back off from it, such a shame

[@SethVIB]

Angela's fire is so much better on the original version, wtf.

[@schemar17]

damn i wonder why they changed alot of this stuff?

[@omarolvera5440]

One thing I remember is before entering the hospital with maria, the ambient was regular and changed suddenly when you entered the hospital with a warm sunset light, and now they changed it when you come outside the cinema, the ambient has the same moody light

[@jking6904]

That Angela scene looks great pre patch

[@idkanymore3382]

NO! fat

[@leleleclelec5830]

Things I prefer in 1.0 : - The monster in the van. - James zoom out when he gets out of the elevator. - The music of the Jukebox after hospital. (Even if I love the breathing sound) - Flesh walls. WHY THEY DID NOT KEEP THAT !? This is the best feature in the game !

[@wood1066]

Just another reason why I prefer physical media over digital.

[@milesbbop9563]

Except mods exists. So nice try. Don't fool yourself. Not only can we flx this but when can also add better QOL mods. As I say, Just another reason why I prefer digital over the locked down console versions of games.

[@wood1066]

@milesbbop9563 you play on PC lol. You couldn't get a physical copy regardless, so your point doesn't mean much.

[@milesbbop9563]

​@@wood1066 wut? I have so many physical console exclusives you will never own because you are broke. Why get the PS5 physical copy when you can get the superior PC version that can be modded into something better. Keep coping nerd. I don't even give 2 shits about this game because it's outsourced indie trash with a budget. I'm just enjoying the shit show aftermath. They clearly don't know what silent hill 2 is because they keep changing their interpretations around.

[@warchiefvenomn7612]

​@@milesbbop9563 Except you can't use mods on console versions, nice try

[@milesbbop9563]

@@warchiefvenomn7612 Exactly. so that sucks for you. You explained my point. PC version is better because mod fixes. Console versions you can't and that's what you own. You sound so stupid right now. Have fun not having QOL fixes because YOU are on console.

[@Mono_Autophobic]

2 things they did worse in newer version, everything else is good 1. Flesh walls got removed 2. Fire scene was degraded

[@Anbu9529]

Some changes to the final version is a downgrade lol. Like the moving flesh wall and angela stairscene. If the reason for that change is " it is way too disturbing" then the person whos incharge failed at doing their job.

[@LucasGammer]

the video is wrong, it's the opposite... hard misinformation this video has several people commenting on something that was added in 1.3, just look for the fight at launch and you will see that there is no pulsating wall.

[@SigmaHuman69]

I still see Jon Lovitz in each picture of the thumbnail

[@CallingAllMadMen]

Game studios need to make games right from the start. Fuck all these patches

[@vincentmenard1682]

Flesh wall, Fire scene and some other stuff... can't understand there choices here. WTF ?! Really strange. Really interesting comparaison tho.

[@RobbieSwan]

None of these changes are better nor worse. Just different. I also much prefer the look of the fire in the Angela stairway scene. You can focus on the characters more and it's better to look at. The 1.0 version was a bit too much, overly saturated.

[@toasty-turnpike]

“the 1.0 version wasn’t a bit too much nor overly saturated, just different”

[@reymartchristiancruz526]

It must sucks if you seen actual fire that actually will turn entire room orange.

[@michalbotek]

1.0 version is realistic, when it comes to fire lighting. Have never seen fire in rral life and how it shines on everything around it?

[@Darkcranio]

@@reymartchristiancruz526 Yeah but the fire isn't really there. That's the point.

[@RobbieSwan]

@@reymartchristiancruz526 the fire is not actually meant to be there. Its psychological so it shouldn't be casting realistic shadows etc

[@ferzatz3850]

I'm an OG Silent Hill gamer, and I played all releases, in the remake, I have found a secret in the game that no one has found till now, and no one talked about it, I think it leads to a secret ending or something else, it consist of multiple parts, I managed to interact with one, but still need the rest, I need your help genius gamers 🕹

[@kennybruhbruh]

Can you explain further?

[@ferzatz3850]

@kennybruhbruh It's related to the polaroid pictures that you collect throughout the game, I think you need to find these exact places throughout the game and interact with them in a certain way! The one that I managed to do was the picture that you found in the Blue Creek apartments, the picture with room 208, and says "forever together", what you need to do, head up to that room which will be locked and marked with a straight red line, try to open it couple of times by moving forward and backwards, and then you'll hear a loud sound of someone shaking the door handle from the other side, and if you check the map again, you'll notice that the door's marking changed from straight red line to zigzag! This mission is on another level, cause it'll require paying attention to the smallest detail! Good luck, and please share it with others!

[@Spiral2fye]

I fw the new camera angles tho

[@SpencerFcp]

What were they thinking for the staircase scene? First version looks SO much better. In the second version, literally no light is being reflected at all despite THE ENTIRE STAIRCASE OF FIRE.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

14:32 i wish they kept this. Its creepy

[@LucasGammer]

he didn't remove the wall it was added, he reversed the videos. It's then you look for a fight at launch with the boss you'll see.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

@@LucasGammer sorry i didnt understand. Do you want to say that the breathing walls were added or removed?

[@GaiaChrono]

Personal notes on the V1 vs .03 on Angela's Staircase. .03 makes more sense based on camera exposure. The highlights of the fire would be blown out to white. However, it could benefit from some of the warm glow and lighting in 1

[@Ashura9131]

Why did change walls not movint with moving looking better

[@HeyCrookshanks]

Glimpses of the past sound v2 definitely scratches an itch in my brain

[@polypolar]

🤣 the internet memed them so hard they actually changed the camera angle to hide the chubby cheeks omg thats hilarious 2:25

[@mr.gamingz]

Okay so stuff improved overall. I dont like how oversaturated and orange looking the angela stair scene is. But they could improve lightning/reflections to make it look more realistic. But maybe they changed it because the fire cant harm them? Because angela goes through the fire like nothing happens. What i cant understand is why the flesh walls dont move anymore but the sound is there. Maybe a bug in that version that prevents it from moving and they havent noticed it yet?

[@Tedakin]

The Angela fire scene looks way better before. Hrmm.

[@l_syk_l]

The final scene with Angela is a work of art.

[@chillmushroom6016]

Im confused on how this was updated today but everything that i just saw new i already seen beside the doge ending i never got that

[@TheKelillo]

I thought i was the only one 🤔

[@lockekappa500]

Read the description.

[@downbylaw85]

Great stuff, really interesting video, thanks !

[@restless07]

James out of car before it was fall in the water in "Stillness" ending
