There's a trend of anti-intellectualism towards the original to come out of SH2R discourse that's frankly obnoxious.
Gamers will call characterization, symbolism, tone, and even the style of horror "nitpicks," then spend every conversation complaining about combat.

This was the film that introduced me to Takashi Miike. Another great one is "Audition," which starts off as a light-hearted romantic comedy and transforms into a twisted horror film about halfway through.

The idea that James Sunderland was "emotionless" due to technical limitations is a myth anyways. He was fatigued, dissociated, and repressing the memory of killing his wife.
Anyone pushing that is arguing with the developers.

David Gordon Green is the wrong guy to direct an Exorcist trilogy. I expect the first film to be a middling fan servicey retread of the original, followed by two weird sequels that thematically contradict each other.

A common motif between Silent Hill 2-3 is the use of nurses with red squares on their mouths. This represents the shared theme of "shrieking insanity."
• In SH2, it symbolizes Mary's emotions and is connected to the nine red squares.
• In SH3, it symbolizes Alessa's emotions.

That's not really true. Most of the team carried over for each installment, with the core SH1 team (except Toyama, Naoko Sato, and Takahashi) returning for SH2 and SH3/4 developed simultaneously.
Majority of the core staff returned for SH3, and SH4 was mostly SH1 & SH2 devs.

Agreed. Silent Hill 2 is a work of cinematic art that's near impossible to remake, but I at least expected this to be a polished survival horror game (visually). This just looks like Bloober Team is in over their head.

I don't think the Steam banner indicates that we'll see Silent Hill 2 remake at TGS.

In Silent Hill 2, the Bubble Head Nurse stands roughly the same height as Mary. They are suffocated by a vinyl mask filled with white liquid and thinned blood, which they attempt to shake from their head.
Originally, the mask was planned to pop like a balloon when shot.

I'd like to see the original concept of Dino Crisis 3 made into a game. The pure chaos and 28 Days Later atmosphere of dinosaurs in the city would make for a suspenseful action-horror game.
Dino Crisis 1-2 on the RE Engine would also be neat.

It really depends on what you mean by "shit gameplay." In Silent Hill 2, the gameplay serves the story and not the other way around.
If James moves like a video game character instead of an average dude, that's definitely a tonal issue.

I have no love for JK Rowling, but the way this game was protested was a bad strategy. Creating a taboo around a piece of media (esp. major sites loudly announcing their discussion bans) only creates publicity, and shaming people over an iconic multi-billion $ IP is bad optics.

I'm actually not enthusiastic about a remake of SH2 (which only needs a port/remaster IMO).
But if they included Double Under Dusk and artwork/BTS notes from Masahiro Ito, I would get the Collector's Edition.

My current prediction for Silent Hill 2 remake is that the marketing campaign starts in October for a February 2024 release, potentially launched by another Transmission. It was likely intended to be a 2023 game that was delayed to 2024.

Yeah, Bloober Team said that they're going for "full action" and "mass market" appeal, and specifically listed Naughty Dog and Ninja Theory as examples.

In Silent Hill, the appearance of the cult's god is shaped by the minds of those who summon it.
• In SH1, the Incubus is how Dahlia imagines God.
• The Incubator is how Alessa imagines God.
• In SH3, the god vaguely resembles Alessa due to Claudia's thoughts.
