Why not just play the PC port though
Many of the visual effects in Silent Hill 2 were designed specifically with the PS2 hardware in mind, and had to be pared back for the Xbox and PC ports which also have some other technical issues such as low-quality FMVs. I don't know how much of that stuff has been fixed by the PC modders, though.

If you have 24 minutes to kill, Digital Foundry Retro has a video comparing the different versions of SH2:

I always find these kinds of opinions interesting. They assume that the game that was cancelled was near finished - and great, a solid 9/10, and that the cancellation was unjust. Far more likely it was a loving mess with scrambling leadership and nowhere near enough progress made to justify the money already spent on it.

Look it was totally 99% done and about to be released which is why we have basically no information about the game after 3+ years of development. That's just how these things work!

They literally only are this mad because someone hosed with their precious nerd lore game. If it wasn’t ~Star Wars~ they wouldn’t have given half a gently caress about any of this, but they froth at the mouth over the same poo poo they always have since they were children, because they are children.

Finally getting around to playing Wolfenstein TNO in advance of the new hotness coming out. I'm up to the prison level and I like shanking nazis and inflicting fatal knife throws by hitting them in the rear end, but it seems like it relies a bit too hard on stealth? I don't want to have to sneak around to find the commander just so I can fire one of my many loud nazi-erasing weapons without endless hordes descending on me. Is this something I'll have to deal with a lot for the rest of the game?

Uh, those endless hordes are a good thing because it means more people to shoot.

No, but seriously, outside of the brief sections where you don't have any weapons, the entire game can be played stealthless. Just shoot the nazis as they come then shoot the commanders when you get to them.

To be fair to them, they were invested because they had talked to the developers and had played the game for themselves at PAX.

It still is hilarious to me to see someone getting worked up over a cancelled Star Wars game. Like, where could he possible get more Star Wats if not from this one game? How dare EA crush these artist's unique now never to be seen vision of more Star Wars!

Same, I mostly can't stand bitter flavors and coffee is as bitter as it gets to me

Same with alcohol actually now that I think about it, if I ever have a drink I have to laden it with so much fruity sugary poo poo it's like, why don't I just have a soda

I feel this is a bit silly, like you might as well say that a cup of black coffee is really just savory hot water.

Most coffee you'll get is overroasted and overextracted, leading to excessive bitterness. I roast my own beans and take them black but you'd better believe I'm dropping some milk into ye olde diner coffee.

Add "extra thicc" because I like Turkish coffee. Toast one whole cardamom pod in a pan, add water, one heaping spoon of coffee, twice as much sugar, let stand until it's just about to boil, then stir vigorously until it foams.

Most bad coffee comes from beans that have been overroasted and brews that overextract because those are easier than the finesse required to pull things back, especially when making larger pots. Good coffee is by definition not bitter, or at least bitterness is not the dominant flavor profile

I was under the impression that nobody outside of visceral had ever actually seen it running. The walking through a doorway slice is something that could have been put together using their assets in UE4 within a week.

The most telling thing about all this to me is that in addition to vancouver it's also being developed by EA worldwide studio - which I believe they are using like a tech company conglomerate to more effectively scale teams so they can move staff around as needed. much like what google did with alphabet - helps with staff retention & makes the ebb and flow of huge projects much easier to manage.
Essentially it means the developers from criterion, bioware, DICE, ghost games & motive can be made available to the new team as contractors without much if any messing around. Someone needs to go on it for 4 weeks and there's no paperwork to do. Maybe it'll just be used for crunch & making some assets, who knows, but it does afford them a lot of flexibility.
that's a big next step for development & is a natural future for companies like EA. the real important fact is, none of the visceral team have been invited to join that party - every one of them got fired.

A large video game forum notorious for its overbearing mods and restrictive registration process but was the number one stop for industry insiders before twitter and other social media outlets. For a while it was basically the only place to get sales information and leaks/announcements/rumors that went up on Neogaf were almost always true.

I lurked because there was a big thread devoted to PC98 games and also fun stuff would appear occasionally like hi-def FF7/8/9 cg backgrounds.
