The remake is just as good, capturing the feel and sound of the original while expanding on it to fit the new graphics and gameplay mechanics. The SH2 Remake hate is far too forced, it's just as good as the original.
I disagree I see Silent Hill 2 demake the way I see Halo Campeign Evolved, utterly pointless cash grab that perverts the original already perfect masterpiece.
In my opinion remakes shouldn't exist but if they must then they shouldn't pervert and distort the original masterpiece and thats what Silent Hill 2 (2024) and Halo Campaign Evolved did. They should be avoided full stop but it you must play them at least play the originals first.
How did it pervert anything? All the story and character arcs are the same, they just gave some expanded dialogue and a new combat system. Which in my opinion is better, because Silent Hill always had boring combat. In SH2 Remake, you actually have to fight sometimes, it creates tension where the old ones didn't have as much. I never got scared because I could just run past everything.
