So much better than Resident evil

[Carlo Mig]

So much better than Resident evil 2 remake in all aspects. Gameplay, soundtrack, graphics, combat, story, plot everything you name it. Good job Konami and Bloober Team!

juddering, flickering... when they will optimize the game properly... I'm for the rooms mission and the juddering is brutal... and if FG is used Nvidia adds flickering which is more brutal... the game feels horrible... now let the fans come out and say that everything is good... don't make me laugh... the game is a work of art until the performance kills everything...

The horror and gameplay hits me better than Resident Evil does period and that includes RE4 Remake which I got to about the middle of and just stopped playing. Here I reached at least 1 ending.

They are two completely different styles and shouldn't be compared.

Silent Hill is like The Adams Family. Resident Evil is like The Munsters. See?

No at all.
Graphics, sure.. RE2 is from the previous generation.
Sound design is also stellar in SH2 and above what RE2 did.

But that's it. RE2 remake is simply a better game hands down. It always will be.

The RE games became action games with horror aspects. They stopped being scary after they killed all the atmosphere of the originals.

Myth - Original RE games were scary

I owned RE1 and RE2 and they were never as scary as Silent Hill 1 (and certainly not SH2). Capcom had and still has much better level designs that aren't the cliche dilapidated pits of death and destruction. The mansion, police dept, castle, downtown raccoon city, village, etc are all way more enjoyable to play because they aren't going for the most scary vibes.

Agree to disagree then

I mean that's objectively false.

RE2 has better combat because that is the focus.
RE2 has more unlocks for NG+.
RE2 runs at 200+ fps.

SH2 has better story, graphics, and soundtrack.

Can also beat RE2 in about an hour.... SH2 is superior

Both titles claim to be Survival Horror RE2 is sort of scary the very first time through it, but low replay ability other than speed running. SH2 also makes you think in the end. Totally different experience I would compare Evil Within closer than RE

Resident Evil had better marketing back in the day and imprinted on more people this is why it is hailed today as the better game.

Both great

[Ricback2]

I love both but if I had to pick one, would be Silent Hill 2. This is also true of the original games.

Oddly enough I think Silent Hill 2 remake has better action than RE2 Remake. The fact that Melee is actually effective and you can dodge makes it better in terms of combat.

I'm not sure how I feel about that, I really like the Resident Evil 1 approach where melee is not a viable option and ammunition is scarce (plus the limited inventory). I think it adds to the tension because you can't kill every single zombie, but at some point you're running low on ammo so you have to make a choice between moving forward and hope that you'll find some more, or turn back and hope you'll manage to reach the storage box without getting bitten by those zombies you left on the way.

Resident Evil always prioritized gameplay and resource management whereas silent hill has always prioritized atmosphere and story. They're both survival horror yes, but definitely apples and oranges.

One may be better to you, but not to somebody else.

RE1 Remake and RE4 pretty much set the gold standard on "atmosphere". But something tells me that you prefer the atmosphere of RE7 and RE Revelations 2.

Atmosphere is just your opinion man.

[Roundabout]

The more recent Resident Evil's are more FPS Action than horror. The older, slower Resident Evil's use to be scary.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is truly a horror game. It can scare you just by wandering around in the darkness, as it has atmosphere.

Resident Evil has no atmosphere.

[Breepzz]

Silent hill is very more scary.

Can I like both? I like both.

Also SIGNALIS is basically the best of Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a side of 90s yuri, so I guess I'm eating all the winner's cake no matter how competitive you guys are between these games.

Can only like one unfortunately. The cops will arrest you if you like both.

Resident evil puzzles are insultingly easy. Silent Hill puzzles actually make you think and respect your intelligence unlike RE which assumes you are a toddler with their puzzles that have the difficulty of inserting shapes.

makes no sense to me. so you're telling me S.T.A.R.S or like super soldiers can't defend themselves against slow ass zombies physically?
