what are you talking about? the visuals are leagues ahead of the re remake. this is a UE5 stunner.
what mode are you playing in? performance? pc or ps5?

Uh, I'm not sure what footage you were looking at but the game looks beautiful, and that's not some hot take. But to each their own!
I played on PC so I can't really say. I'll leave it to others with hands on experience. But they did say patches with improvements were on the way.

Finished it last night. I played the OG around the time it originally came out but lucky me I had forgotten everything about it except for the premise so everything felt "new". It really surprised me and loved almost every moment of it.

And the bloody radio. The static makes everything 2× more scary than it should. I turned it off halfway through and the game is now Evil Within levels of horror.

I cannot wait to tear into this; just waiting for the PS5 Pro patch.
I’m playing performance on PS5.

That's crazy. What? Opinions and all but the "they just don't care" part is absurd. It looks fantastic in motion and the dungeons/interiors especially look almost tangible. The greasy, wet wallpaper in the apartments, tiny details like paper flyers flapping in the wind.
REmake games alao look fantastic but this game is often flat-out impressive despise the performance issues in my opinion.

There’s a massive fidelity difference between those two versions. And I’m not even going into the lighting that completely changes some environments.

- Fixed an issue with the option of switching In Game Motion Blur.
I ... don't even remember there being a motion blur toggle in the game (?)
Consider switching to the Quality mode, not only will it give you a much better image with a lot more visual effects that are stripped in Performance, it will also give you a more consistent experience. Performance has way too many drops and below the VRR to be viable. Quality is a mostly consistent 30 with only rare drops.

Game should be played on Quality.
But even then, on a pure technical front it's much more advanced than RE engine titles

yeah, dont do that. the lumen reflections and GI are so paired back in that mode that it might as well be a last gen game.

Yep, i played extensively with both rtx on and off and the game slaps any re engine game with ease in both modes.
People saying that this looks like a ps4 game without rtx are fucking crazy.

Wow. Is this PS5 performance/quality comparison? If yes, that’s like the biggest difference between the 2 options ever. As I’m a graphics whore I’m playing in quality mode of course and didn’t even check performance, so honest question. Why is there such a big difference in lighting? Is quality mode ray-traced, while performance mode is not?

to answer.But yes, they’re massively different with significant mood changes. Knowing that some people were playing performance was triggering me a lot.

Yes kind of, lumen settings are much higher in quality than performance

The boss fights in this game are spectacular. Abstract Daddy is really intense and harrowing and fighting Eddie is like something out of Condemned.
It's amazing how Bloober Team turned the worst part of the original into one of the best parts of the remake.

wait what. I only played in perf... twice. Does this mean in quality you can actually see things in Toluca??

Quality absolutely looks better of course. I just can't imagine playing with that framerate and sluggish overall feeling. Responsiveness feels like night and day to me which is why I left it on Performance.
Second playthrough will possibly be on Quality when it happens just to see.

Shit, thanks for the PSA, I assume I was hitting that area tonight.
Oh shit, I should be here in 3-4 in game hours I think
I agree, it still looks decent and performance was fine with quality mode for my ps5 slim.

Almost submitted a separate thread for this, but oh well... Some of these changes are rather substantial (just check the cutscenes with Angela and the Dog ending), but because according to Kempy himself, v .1.00 dates back to April 2024... 6 months before the actual release of the game.

Some interesting changes in there. I wish they kept there new version of the dog ending instead of editing it to be more like the original. Without the actual meme credits (only including the song) making it like the original lost a lot of its charm.
Not sure why they changed flesh walls from the Daddy fight.

Yo! This patch straight up broke the game for me. There is a game breaking kinda bug where you can not progress after the first rotating cube level. Anyone having the same issue? Cus this is insane actually.Silent Hill 2 Update 1.04 Live, Here's What It Does

I thought abstract daddy was incredibly easy, dude has only one move that is extremely easy to avoid.
Eddie was much better but i would not call any of these boss fights spectacular, they are all super basic mechanically, but i haven't played the original that much so i don't know how bad they were (i can imagine tho).
Unless you meant atmosphere etc. And not gameplay wise.
Btw, i only have the last boss left so tonight i'm probably gonna complete the game, i think i'm gonna clock around 30 hours

Just beat Abstract Daddy, which was a piss easy boss fight.
Still loving it, this is easily the best horror game since the original RE4.
Played about 10 hours so far, and I'm amazed that it's managed to remain creepy the whole time, though I've read it's another 7 hours? Seems a bit too long for a game like this.
Also fuck accidentally pressing triangle and loosing a heal.

Hory sheet! My daughter complained about how thorough I was being with looking everywhere for items, etc, and I beat hard mode with hard puzzles in 24 hours. 100? You sure?
Anyway, absolutely loved the game! Anyone else get a glitch and unlock the achievement for beating it in under 10 hours despite the end game clock being 20+? Weird. It's like the patch started the clock over for in game time or something. I am going to fire up New Game plus as soon as I can. Also, I am so glad they added Frame Gen. I can play in 4k with raytracing at ~70 fps now on my 4070ti.
Weird, I have had the radio coming out of the controller since launch night on PC.

I've read somewhere that the timer is bugged, probably resets after 24 hours, that's why a bunch of slowpokes are getting the achievement
The radio static started coming out of my controller after I loaded a save during the death animation. All other sounds were also muffled a bit. I had to restart the game to fix it.

I'm nearly finished with the hospital so I might give the game a break until they put out another patch. I'm sure they're aware of it.

Since the update, I've been getting a weird bug where previously killed legs enemies are floating in the air, giving them the illusion of being alive. Not game breaking or anything, but seriously unsettling
I've also noticed the radio sounds are exclusively coming from the DS5 now. I'm on PC and that wasn't the case before the update. Again, not game breaking but I dislike the shitty audio quality of the controller speakers so if anyone knows how to change it back, pls lmk.

I don't believe there's an in game option (if so then obviously turn it off) but I actually disabled the Dual Sense as an audio device at the system level because other games would occasionally try to use it.

Angela got a somewhat notable model change from what was pressed just on the disc, a lot less Duchoveny.

I like how vibrant the 1.00 Fire is, the released version look very subdued. Also the Dog ending is completely different wtf lol
