Wow, fair enough... I honestly didn't have much hope that this would turn out well. I really thought the combat looked stiff during the trailer I saw. But hey, if they nailed the atmosphere like people are saying. That's the most important thing for a horror game. Never played the original, but I will definitely pick this up sometime soon since it is getting pretty universal praise.

I'd pick it up now, if I didn't have a couple games I'm going through at the moment. As well as having Metaphor and DB Sparking Zero coming out in a couple days!

Bad traversal stutter on PC. Cutscenes are also locked to 30fps which is jarring when it switches down from 60fps.

Not digging the newer comparatively cleaner photo real look of the remake.
The original was so deliciously foggy grimy grainy and noisy and sense of unsettling in its visual presentation that it still holds up 23 years later.
Still don't have the courage to finish both games though too damn scary for my taste.
In the psychological horror genre, less is more, and I felt that Blooper team still don't get that rule, if you're going to make everything photo real and cleaner you'd ended up with a blander less imaginative horror game.

this is definitely a game you play with graphics mode on. imo.

well ill play it at that if its available

So long as I have Ray Tracing off this game still runs above 60 fps for me on my 3080 and honestly that’s all I need for a game like this. When I did have RT on though I got a lot of fps drops in somewhat larger areas. The apartments area with a baby carriage in the pool nearly tanked all my frames and was chugging. Turning it off, I can still play 2k max settings and it looks fantastic

Great. Now let them remake... Silent Hill 1 :p

I'm glad Bloober actually found their mainstream hit.

It’s all futile war stuff one game runs better on the machine and next game runs better on the other . Optimization was done since the original release of the game a year ago so I would expect the X version to run better . Stalker 2 on ps5 runs better than the X counterpart and Im willing to bet that year it took for the ps5 version to come out some sort of optimization was done for the recent port

Lower res higher frames is normal for any console PC etc.

Well yeah that’s cause it’s running at a lower res.

ok?
game has been out for a while now.

"despite higher resolution on Sony hardware"

Eh...not 'despite' this, but 'because' of this.

I guess the ponies still get riled up when the word Xbox is used in a positive light. So they can showoff their smug superiority……..can’t make this crap up.

They've been trading each other in performance throughout this generation, often the PS5 getting more wins. So this isn't really a big deal.

News just in!

Higher resolution impacts performance !

I hate these thirsty clickbait articles

I honestly don’t even care for the comparisons this gen and going forward. The differences are so negligible that no sane person playing would even notice and/or call one a winner over the other.

The console wars were decided by the transition to digital games (Last gen). The Xbox 360 had an advantage in backward compatibility, but Sony addressed it quickly with the PS5. If you have over 100 titles in the PlayStation ecosystem, you don’t switch, even if the other hardware makes a big leap in technology. The reason we bought the Switch was for Nintendo exclusives, not hardware leap. MS must be cautious in trying to retain gamers with large libraries, which is why they are changing their philosophy to emphasize preserving your library across other stores. If Microsoft launches a new console next year, the results will likely be similar or even worse unless the exclusives issue is addressed.

Awesome for all 18 people who will buy it on Xbox.

By the end ps5 will only have a handful of exclusives

Not even sure if it is financially worthwhile releasing on Xbox anymore.
