Original Silent Hill 2 Director Says Difference Between OG and Remake Are "Mediocre"

Original Silent Hill 2 director Masashi Tsuboyama says differences between remake & the OG are "mediocre, but admits he's not satisfied with the playable camera from 23 years ago, and the over-the-shoulder view ads to the realsm.

Nothing against the original team. They made something that's regarded as some of the best titles in the industry. But this just sounds like salt.

Basically "If it was us the remake would be a lot better, but congratulations on modernizing our game".

I do think the original team would know what to fix/enhance better and I would be disappointed too if someone else was working on the project I originally made but you should keep that to yourself as it does come off as a bit salty. I do think that’s a natural reaction though

The original team almost certainly no longer exists.

It would be the remake is for morons and the original is the superior version.

Dude needs to take a Silent Pill. 2 of them.

Puty465d ago

I understand him. They made this masterpiece on frickin PS2, imagine what Team Silent could do with a power of PS5 ...
RIP Team Silent.

Well, the original game was quite a mediocre game. Sure, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the story was mildly interesting due to one particular twist, but the gameplay? Really, really bad.

As great as this remake is, you have to imagine is Naughty Dog were tasked with this. The character animation, combat and level fidelity would be much higher. Just look at what they achieved with TLOU2. Bloober team might be getting some credit, but it's still not in the same league as something PS studios might produce.

lol literally find any angle to squeeze naughty dog into something of no relevance

aaronaton463d ago

Well if you look at the environment art, character animation and combat from TLOU, it is pretty relevant to what SH2 fans expect in a remake.

He appears to be criticizing the 4K photorealistic graphics, over the shoulder camera, and the digital deluxe add-ons in his comment.

I don’t think he is saying that Bloober Team did a poor job with their adaptation. This seems more like a criticism of remaking the game in the first place. Essentially, why bother to add photorealism and over the shoulder aiming in first place.

Dexterio93d ago

Now we're talking! Best month for me this whole year.

Puty93d ago

I am very happy for Tekken 3

Redgrave92d ago

It's not going to get trophies, is it 😕

It's a really solid addition, but I'd love a platinum for it. Same with Soul Calibur 3 if that's really next month.

Deeeeznuuuts92d ago

Yeah, it's a real shame that some publishers still don't add trophies, I mean, even Disney do and they even update games to add them

VersusDMC92d ago

Some PS2 classics have trophies so hopefully Soul Calibur 3 has it.

And ps1 classics not having trophies is dissapointing but at least they give you the new version for free if you bought the old ps1 classic.
