wtf is the point if they cut out the baby running into the wall

[Waffletigercat]

I don’t see the point in remastering games this new.

[armelior]

Those remakes of recent games makes me think that by 2030 each new number on the unreal engine will see a remake of every popular game/franchise

[AlexOlinkiewicz]

And this is the same studio that is being trusted with the Silent Hill 2 Remake, yes Bloober Team is not the worst choice sense most of their games run decently and they clearly are fans of the Silent Hill franchise (Layers of Fear is just a P.T. clone), but so far most of there games really fail when it comes to their story telling and most of there games horror is Paint-by-Numbers (Pun intended).

Sure at best the Silent Hill 2 Remake is just a shot-4-shot remake of the original classic game just with a 3rd Person Camera, but if Bloober Team is given the freedom to "Improve" the Silent Hill 2 story and/or horror, then I feel like the remake is gonna feel more like a poor Fan Fiction take on the Silent Hill 2 story.

It is nice that if you own the first Layers of Fear, this remake is 45% off on Steam (until June 22nd), making it $16.50 USD. Not bad at all, especially if you like the genre.

[Leef]

Can't wait for the Elden Ring Remaster

[thestreamer]

Id say purchasing this is only good if you dont already own any layers of fear games as the remake is 30$ while buying both 1 and 2 is 40$. Not to mention the extra content on top as a free addition and the free chapter releasing october 24th

Now keep in mind these guys are working on the silent hill 2 remake and shudder in terror thinking at how badly they might fuck it up

[DarkSageWalker]

No baby running into a wall? Completely inferior.

[artkub]

Man, now I'm excited about Metroid Prime 4 Remaster!

[WaffleCone]

What happened to to the teases at end of 2?

[sndrs]

I hope A LUCKY BREAK, AN ACE UP MY SLEEVE IS ALLL I NEEEDDD is still in the game

[MDG-mykys]

Honestly, I enjoy the original better, they kind ruined the experience by changing and mashing things together.

[CushionSapp]

Sounds like I'm good to pass on this one.

[Dracowinges]

Wait didn't this come out like last year...wait there was a 2nd game?! And dlc??!

[Cyryvy]

I was honestly wondering "Didn't this already come out? And wasn't it shit?"

[garrettenten]

I guess a new *ahem* layer of paint isn't enough to fix this walking simulator's rotten core

[FemboyCatGaming]

This remake looks terrible. If you didnt show the dates id think the "remake" screenshots were the older game. This is just lazy they turned every incandescent light into a florencent or LED looking light lmao. Why are old lamps giving off bright white light?

[skyyy]

Observer is my favorite imma have to try this one

[InkyMuste]

I genuinely thought this was a retrospective review or something, why the hell would they remake/remaster/re-whatever this absolute meh of a game?
