Silent Hill 2

The fog looks good imo. And you can see the volumes swirling around the elements. I think it's not right around the character for visibility purposes.

I'm actually bored of not remembering where certain doors are. But I always hated the apartments.

The hospital is annoying AF, too.

Just check the maps, the annotations on it evolve as you walk through, shows locked doors, broken ones etc ..

In a certain part of the apartment, there is a creepy noise that you can hear in the original and the remake. Sounds like a ventilator.

I only just thought of that. But damn. Is that eerie?

 

[Karamazov]

sound design is a big part of the horror in the series, makes you feel uncomfortable even when nothing's happening

The guitar work on "Theme of Laura" is absolute boss. Akira's musicianship is nothing short of fantastic.

Man, what a carry on. I need to find room 210 in this other apartment complex, for to obtain a clock hand. As if the first building wasn't mind numbingly boring as it is. Uh!

 

[Karamazov]

get ready for the hospital then !

 

[Zombietoid]

Oh dear!

There's no way you can play this in one sitting. The amount of times you get lost is astonishing, and every area is rather dark. The camera is also nausea inducing.

i wonder what's happening here with the reflection "delay"

They used RT for the mirror? In such examples they should have used the traditional way of duplicating

So if you force the game to run in DX11 mode you get an extra 10-15% more performance at the cost of being stuck with software Lumen.

Not sure if it cures the stuttering, could someone test?

Interesting to see the 3090Ti a full 25% ahead of the 3090 at 4K with RT off, which basically never happens, as the 3090Ti was a pretty modest bump over the 3090. It's got to have been bouncing off the 3090's 350w TDP limit and severely limiting clocks.

Just about to head to the roof in the hospital.

Give me a bit and I will.

 

[Zombietoid]

God strewth. It gets brutal once you leave the hospital. Monsters are everywhere.

@davis.anthony ok I tried it out, and god no. The stuttering is even worse for me.

This game is just a damn mess.. and I see from SteamDB that they're working on a patch, hopefully it's something they're working on and they're able to fix at least some of it.
