Bring back ORIGINAL voice actor for James Sunderland - Guy Cihi !

[Plutonian Prime]

Did you guys learn NOTHING from the terrible Silent Hill HD Collection? No offence to the new guy, but Guy Cihi's delivery was so unique, and otherworldly, facilitated by him not being a voice actor, so his dialogue came off as having dream-like qualities: awkward, genuine and most importantly lacking self-awareness, which added vulnerability to the character but this new Troy Baker-lite sounds like he's a generic 'tough guy protagonist'.

Bloober Team claims they're huge fans of the original experience and wanted to recreate it. somehow this terrible creative decision makes me doubtful of their qualification (as does most of their gaming produce).

If you can't get the guy, at least have someone do a similar approach to the role, I know I'm not the only one that feels this way!

Time moves forward and things change. Sometimes that can be a little rough, but the new interpretation doesn't make the older original one vanish. It still exists and can be enjoyed if you wish, and you can simply ignore the newer version if you find something you don't care for.

Issue is people want more silent hill games. if we ignore 2 then konami will just shrug and go oh well no more Silent Hill games for anybody anymore.

We want silent hill 2 just not this one.

I want SIlent Hill 2 Remake to possess all the intrinsic qualities of the original, but, ♥♥♥♥♥♥, didnt we literally go thru this already with that awful Silent Hill collection remaster that replaced the original VA? Ppl have already made this complaint in the past, so Bloober Team completely ignoring it is irksome.

They won't hire that guy ever again. We're talking about a man who believes that 5G causes covid and some other loony stuff.

Kocknami absolutely hates everything made by the old Team-Silent (and Kojima Productions), so no - they are not going to bring anything old back. The trailer literally looks like a mix of someone's Blender showcase + Downpour video clips. Heck, they even put COMBAT in the center piece and are now introducing dodge mechanics and combos, a la Homecoming.

Like I've said before, look up "SH PC Guide + DL links" on the interwebs, download and play the OG games. They will run on literal WinXP era wormboxes, and they still hold up damn well.

jesse what the ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about
they literally didnt

Get a sound alike then somebody who captures the essence of the character better

Hopefully there's a mod that adds the original VA and also redesigns James's face to look more like the original.

There was nothing special about original voice acting outside of nostalgia. Silent Hill fans are incapable of being objective about anything to do with the first two games. The voice acting in 2 wasn't that impressive that they absolutely need to include all the original voices in the remake.

Don’t even get me started on making him look like he’s 59

but in the HD Collection you were able to pick between original and new voice actors, you gotta be that fair
