I like the new voice acting a lot more. The voices fit the characters much better and they have more emotion to them, imo

jc485734634d ago (Edited 4634d ago )

Not too sure....I'm getting a lot of mixed feelings that is kinda hard to stomach. I'm getting this ????????????? Not saying I'm hating it, but I don't think it's very good either.

Andronix4633d ago

I haven't played the original games.

I watched the video, then listened to it without looking at my screen. The originals have character and the first woman's voice has a unique quality. In the second video it all sounds like a bad radio play, with OTT acting that doesn't come from the inside.

As gamers we don't notice great voice-acting. Nathan Drake, Commander Shepard etc. But this HD edition's voice acting sounds half-hearted.

i rather read the text, that was too awful to get into

VsAssassin4634d ago

Maria/Mary's voice got to deep in my opinion. For Maria, the sultry, deep voice works. For Mary, not so much. I guess they couldn't have different voice actors for each since Mary and Maria are... (no spoilers).

Eddie's voice is good. However, the playful, childish voice was better.

Pozzle4633d ago

Exactly. Eddie is supposed to sound playful and childish. That's what makes him such a creepy character. He talks about killing in such an immature, childish way. It's...disturbing.

Skateboard4633d ago

You hit the nail on the head. The childish way he is acting with that face is very disturbing.

Fez4633d ago

Nice spoiler there... I'm pretty sure I know what you implied and I've never played the game. LoL

Pozzle4633d ago

Whatever you think they spoiled is probably waaaaaaaay off. SH2 has some pretty fucked up twists. Even if you know what's going to happen. :D :D

ElementX4634d ago

I never play the original games so I don't have anything to complain about this time around.

DlocDaBudSmoka4633d ago

not sure who disagreed with you, but i agree with you. i nvr played the games b4 so i wouldnt know if the new VO is good or not.

e-p-ayeaH4633d ago (Edited 4633d ago )

their both bad in my opinion xD

Quagmire4634d ago

Hmm, they both have terrible voice acting, but the remake sounds more...believable, and less comical.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26182d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake182d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69181d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26180d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

100% agree! SH2 is undoubtedly a stone cold classic.

gold_drake344d ago

i played a couple of months ago for the first time.

i agree that its a great survival game, but i think the minute u realise you can "kill" them, its takes alot of the initial fear out of it.
the same thing happened to me in Siren Blood Curse.

but its definitely one of the best games, when you start looking into the lore and the symbolism

1nsomniac344d ago

Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.

P_Bomb344d ago

Pyramid Head or Red Pyramid. Which do you guys call him?

Pickledpepper343d ago

I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it

Knushwood Butt343d ago

Nice.

I have the games, just no PS2.

Pickledpepper343d ago

I have a ps2 for sale and a n64 lol

how is it after the patches? Aren't there also more to come?

Amplitude730d ago (Edited 730d ago )

Did people not like the Mafia 2 remake? I got so into it. Thought it was amazing. Never played the original.

Some of these are fitting but I can't help but feel like the author just has nostalgia for the original Mafia 2 here. Dmc Collection on PS4 is fiiiiine its just a collection of PS2 games and the PS3 performance was not amazing. The point is to just have the PS2 games for a new gen of people. Crysis Remastered is also totally fine and has been patched and updated to death since launch. The original version essentially ran on one CPU core and they couldn't fix it let alone get that running on console/switch so they had good reason to do what they did to boost interest in Crysis before the Crysis 4 announcement

Lots of way worse remasters out there lol GTA, THPS HD, that Mario 3D All Stars trash, etc

jeenyus730d ago

That's the issue, you haven't played the original.
The new one is slightly better looking but it's bugged af by comparison.

monkey602730d ago

So in essence ... 2020 the year of bad remasters

Army_of_Darkness729d ago

Sounds like a case of quick cash grabs during the pandemic.
