Now what this needs is a remake that removes all of the charm and atmosphere
With microtransactions by Konami.
they already made one, today is the 14th anniversary of it, so I’m pretty sure it counts as Retro too
The graphics aged gracefully, but I wouldn’t call them beautiful. I would definitely say the lighting is beautifully done tho. That’s what really completes the atmosphere imo.
personally, im a huge fan of ps1 graphics so this may be unique to me and others like me. its certainly beautiful to me haha
I like the visuals and gameplay, but Silent Hill 2 will reign as the supreme Silent Hill game. The remake won’t hold a candle to the original. Literal lightning in a bottle that cannot be recaptured.
This and fatal frame gave me nightmares as a little girl. I need to play them both again.
I get why people love SH2, but I don’t get why people overlook the original. And they’re remaking SH2 and skipping the original, which is sad imo
I really liked silent hill 1 but to me silent hill 2 was even better
I am playing through it at the moment.
enjoy! it’s such a unique experience
Yeah. It’s one of the only Silent Hill games I haven’t finished. I am enjoying it.
I never had a PS1 but had always heard of this game and wanted to play it, so I did it on emu a few years ago. Thought it was pretty cool… gameplay wise, kind like the evolution of the Genesis game Flashback.
I agree, I’ve always thought Silent Hill is the best looking game of the PS1/N64 era.
I replayed recently and it’s still a blast!
i need to play it again. what’s your fave part? i have to say midwich elementary is mine, because it terrified me so much. i also enjoyed the hospital
Hospital and Nowhere are my fav areas. I like also the city at night in the dark world, it gives a really great madness atmosphere.
Did they ever remaster silent hill? I’d love to play it as I never have but I doubt I could handle the gameplay
I’m more of an classic RE guy, and maybe it’s nostalgia, but there is something that feels like home with these graphics. I’ve seen some modern games emulate them very well and with the right design they can crank up the creepy/scary factor.
It’s a completely different genre but if you are fine with FPS games, you may wanna check out Incision. It’s art style might be up your alley:
