5h45m of Silent Hill 2 Remake Pc version played by a Spanish streamer on Twitch.


No noticable drop in image quality with 60fps. Good news.

shit-ton of artifacts there, this is one of the games that will benefit so much from the PS5 Pro version visually, even on the 60 FPS mode

The melee combat looks cheap tho ngl, and there's a lot, and i feel the game lacks a bit of charisma, maybe it's the look of the characters, or how they move.

I think lumen is in for the 60fps as well, it's only AO that is desactivated.

There is no ambient occlusion in 60 fps mode ? Lumen is lighter than ambient occlusion in the 60 fps ? It sound weird to me, because lumed it should be used to manage ambient occlusion.
 
I think I want to play this..

I was one of the biggest loudmouths cursing that Bloober would fuck it up, but looking at this it seems they kind of nailed it.
Environments with that volumetric fog look crazy good.

I will wait for some reviews first, but damn.

Game is absolute perfection, there is absolute no "filler" no boring parts, combat is awesome (i am playing on hard/hard) and the hard puzzles are SUPER complicated, you need critical thinking and a lot of patience to solve them
Enemies are aggresive and challeging but the game has "fair" difficulty, nothing super mega complicated like profesional on RE4make or Inferno Mode from RE3
Idk if item numbers are affected by difficulties
The atmosphere, music, sound effects, graphics, everything is TOP QUALITY, the game has a lot of surprises, more areas, rooms, puzzles to explore, i got 2 new weapons (not gonna spoil)
People who played to original are going to LOVE this game, this game SURPASSES the original one, the OG one is an absolute masterpiece but this game did something incredible: game is beyond perfect!
Re4make surpassed the original, SH2 remake does the same: ABSOLUTE TOP QUALITY
10/10 game
If you don't like horror games, thinking, puzzles, atmosphere, lore, reading and everything from a classic 90's horror game, you not gonna like it
SH2 hardcore fans are going to love this.

My plan for this game…. Wait for reviews —> performance issues —> wait till it’s patched —> might as well wait for a sub $20 sale now —-> realize this will end up on humble choice —-> buy the humble choice —-> never install it

some of the enemy movements made me chuckle, the ones crawling on the floor look like they are sliding around on a slippy slide.

Honestly, like most things bloober it feels like they are technically doing horror, but nothing is actually scary or horrific, so like it makes the sounds and it is technically a monster... They just don't have the skills to build that atmosphere.

in the original there was the same feeling for some of lying figures, and the atmosphere it's fantastic, at least for me!

Digital foundry has the review copy i guess, spotted in the Stars wars jedi survivor last gen video!

P.s this is an old build, there is no pick animation! It should be the same build showed to the august event.

what’s crazy is that 6 hours is more or less the runtime of the original (I replayed it a month ago and must have finished it in 6h30) and here it’s the time needed to finish the first apartment block of the game. The game might be pretty meaty then, hope they did not add too much bloat

thanks! With that, im out. I hate puzzles. needless padding imo
If it helps, you can choose puzzle difficulty. There are three levels, and the lowest level is barely a speedbump IMO

The whole intro until the apartments are 6 hours of game! If i run in the original i can get to the apartment in minutes! It's much longer the remake! Sadly i don't remember any charisma from this face except his eternal paralysis... :D

The truth is that the original is too old for today standard, characters looks like puppets today, but it's a ps2 game so it's right that it's in this way. 23 years it's a lot of time....
James was a chad in cutscenes at least

These early copies never make me concerned. If anything, they only make me jealous. Even if I’m getting the game “48 hours” early with the deluxe edition. At least I get some exclusive hats for James. lol

Keep your expectations in check. Bloober games get around 70 on MC. This time it should theoretically be better as they got a blueprint to copy. Just modernize the game and don’t do anything stupid guaranteed it won’t be a flop.

ACTION adventure

Not adventures and puzzles

Keep the puzzles to a minimum. Once you start loading up each stage with endless puzzles it becomes tedious

Puzzles are part of the original game as well, they can't remove them because you don't like them! :D

Blooper always had potential to do better than that 7/10. With bigger budget and team, this game probably has that.

We will see but I think I will be 8/10. Maybe full of bugs but let's hope not.

This is one game where provided it hits a solid 30, I'll be happy with turning the visuals to max.

Its not Resident Evil; even by the standards of the Silent Hill franchise its by far the least action-orientated of the original trilogy.
