And just in case there wasn’t enough Silent Hill for you, there’s a movie too.

I love the takeaway seems to be that since Bloober is doing the remake everything will totally suck. Fanboys be fucking toxic as shit.

Looks promising not sure I like the voice of James though. The voice sounds too gruff in my opinion. I always preferred Guy Cihi myself, so we'll see where that goes. One thing I hope they touch up upon is that fucking boat section. All cautiously optimistic but then again the SH HD Collections were pure dog pile imo.

As someone who enjoyed Silent Hill 2, I feel like while the intent is good, I think off initial trailer alone, that there's a bit too much attention to detail in this version vs the simplicity that the original had. James face in the mirror for example is a bit too much anguish and expression vs the dark, monotone picture that the original Silent Hill 2 game had.
Still will play it though but I don't know if they will capture what made SH2 good but I am not ready to outright shitpan this either.

Any word on whether any of the original Team Silent is on this? Or if is Akira back on music?

I seen nothing but people shitting all over this, but I absolutely loved it. Shows the direction the series will go in for the future with the Silent Hill effect now applying to many locations. Story is very dark. Some uneven stuff in it as one chase goes on way too long, but rest was pretty cool. Female focused story though so many gamers are just shitting all over it. Also many arguing that it is not REAL Silent Hill, but they also said that really for every single game after 2.

The main issue is this seems like a remake rather than a remaster which can work, as shown with FF7. The issue is it takes away from this being a psychological horror and instead makes it a Resident Evil clone which sort of downplays the "Less is more" story from SH2. SH2 half the battle was psychological and thinking there's enemies around when there are none. This version throws that entirely out the window and almost encourages you to kill enemies and go gun ho on whoever is surrounding you. I actually didn't mind The Medium's gameplay and that was the lone Bloober game I played from start to finish and even then I can see how the writing sort of lets that game down, especially towards the end.
There's also little enemy variation with the original SH2 so not sure how many nurses and deformed enemies you can get away with. Will they add new enemies for the sake of? Curious how they even do the Eddie boss fight which exposes the original's gunplay in being really poor.
FF7 Remake took a similar risk and for some, it bastardized too much of the original for this to be heralded as something faithful to the original. For some though, it was a nice spin and either way, it has or will(in the sequel's case) sell like hot cakes.
