When it comes to remakes, especially of a game as beloved as Silent Hill 2, the conversation about the original can get confusing.

It’s a very positive twist to the situation, at least for those who love the original so much that you can keep doing it even if you end up hating the remake. That’s not to say Tusboyama only had positive things to say, he continued, “The differences between the original and the remake, the 4K, the realism, the bonus headgear, etc. are all mediocre. Who will this promotion attract? They don’t seem to have it.” Do your best to convey the appeal of this work to a generation that doesn’t understand Silent Hill.

Nonetheless, he went on to praise the remake’s use of the over-the-shoulder perspective, calling it “increased realism” and “in other words, it makes me want to try playing the more immersive remake of Silent Hill 2!” Apparently Tsuboyama “wasn’t happy with the playable footage from 23 years ago,” though in the game’s defense it did deliver some incredibly atmospheric moments despite the occasional stutter.
