Laura is not real. She is an entity created by the town

[@capycapy8920]

@@jasonh6207 Laura is real. She interacts with both James and Eddie even when James isn't there at all, she doesn't see the monsters (Like Maria does), and she has actual physical letters from Mary before she died (James had a blank piece of paper). Silent Hill appears differently to different people so the fact that she can interacts with real people like James and Eddie and seemingly has her own safe and fun version of Silent Hill means she's real and the town doesn't do anything to her

The town still looks scary and it's amazingly detailed. This is an awesome version actually.

It's cool how you can see how close you'd have to be to some stuff for them to be rendered in, because with the fog, you wouldn't really be able to see it from that distance.

[@sean8102]

Well you can still tell on PC when you cross those points because of the good old Unreal Engine traversal stutter (doesn't matter your spec). Just see the Digital Foundry video. Still loved the remake a ton. Just hope Bloober can improve that aspect. I don't blame them totally though since stutter with UE on PC has been a known thing for a long time.

[@sparda9060]

@@sean8102 only way to fix stutter is to make the game again on higher version of UE5 that fixed this. Most games now or releasing in next 3 years will be using UE5 1.1 that has traversal stutter.

[@andre-hl8yb]

This must be close to Laura's vision of the town, just without the monsters. It can't be possible that she is the normal world because she infiltrated in zone that must be people who stopped her, like the hotel, the hospital or even the movie theater.

0:44 everything is like a average remote city now...

[@ferrievanvliet8043]

I'll be honest. The game looks and gives off this eerie vibe in both perspectives, with and without fog. The fog variant gives off this vibe that there is something about to lunge at you at any given moment, especially in the deeper parts of the fog. It also gives off this mysterious vibe, because you're unaware what lies ahead of you. This mod shows how incredibly well and unique the town and such are designed. Every building feels and looks different, the overall vibe is also ''eerie'' but in a completely different sense. Both variants seem 'hopelessness' in their own way.

You'd think with all that fog, they'd just turn down the LOD and save performance, but no, everything is rendered all at once it seems.

the lod wouldn't save that much performance since it already reduces poly count at a distance. Most modern engines do, and this is on UE5 so i'd imagine objects at a distance are a low resource. If anything the most demanding resource probably IS the fog 🤣with lighting being second.
