In my restless dreams, I see that town.

Silent hill being a cultural phenomenon of videogame industry got much love from its fanbase. Of course that series had some rises and falls. And now we are witnessing the rise of silent hill franchise.

My first encounter with silent hill series started with a first movie long time ago. Many years later I saw some fan-theories about plot of silent hill 2 with Akira Yamaoka's music in the background. It blew my mind how cool and deep sounded all these theories and Yamaoka's music was only amplifying this effect. Then I decided to play silent hill series starting with SH2. It was a mixed experience, great story, atmosphere, ambiance, but horrible control and puzzles (but one should get used to them). And I was playing following guides which is a very big mistake. Couple of years later, I retried to play SH2 without guides. It was the best way to play it.

When I saw that Konami are going to remake SH2, I was not that mad fan who was complaining about the quality of remake. The og SH2 will not be forgotten or replaced by its remake. You can always come back and play it again. And I had a bit of hope that Bloober Team is cooking a masterpiece. I want to sincerely thank them for their effort and dedication to the original with all these past glitches, references. Overall, the story is different, it has more elements than the original game giving a deepness to James's character. Like the scene at the bar with Maria when he looks at the drink. It makes me think that what he did to Mary was also because of the alcohol addiction.

I don't think that my opinion, recommendation will change anything. If you want to play it, then play it. If you don't, then take your time and decide later. I also hope that the next remake is SH4. I have nothing against SH1 or SH3, but I feel like SH4 deserves another chance because of its outstandingly interesting conception and because at the time it was not complete (i.e. The UFO ending or some items whose traces can be found among its files). I'm sure that Bloober team will not fail it. Anyway, I am looking forward to playing mysterious SH f.
