Exactly!

I don't think higher resolution would ruin the experience at all like some here like to believe. I mean, the HD remasters were just fine graphically except for the fact they half-assed it. The resolution was excellent and there was nothing wrong with that. What WAS wrong with those remasters was the crappy sound and unfinished game effects. When compared to the PS2 version, everything felt like alpha or pre-game release. 

Honestly, reworked character models for SH2 WOULD indeed benefit the game. No one can tell me they would complain if the game looked like those amazing CG sequences. I mean, come on...you can still have all the textures, stylistic design and grungy effects with higher resolution. Look at how great it looked on PC, for example. 

And like someone mentioned, yes, Sh1-4 remade would be terrific! 

i dont know, I'm already a little put off by how the SotC remake feels different in terms of art style (it looks a little too "blue" in my opinion), I'd be very concerned about how they would go about trying to recapture the feel of the original SH2. Visuals are way too important for horror games.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. I've noticed it too. Heck, even the cover of the game now has a more blueish hue. I actually don't mind it like I did at first. I can't decide what I prefer now. I think the PS4's cover is actually the best cover SotC had yet right down to the superior font choice in my opinion. But in the end, I like both styles.

Well, I for one appreciate that at least one other person here gets it.

It was never about what you could see, it was about allowing your imagination, driven by the atmosphere, to fill the gaps, and that's why it worked so well.

The clearer and more detailed games become, the less room they leave for the imagination.

I think is easy to make blurry imagery, and dense fog with the new graphic technology. And, in this specific case (SH2), work wonders with sound FXs, using 5.1 with more crude and defined noises coming from a veriety of angles to scare the living soul out of you.

Sure but i would not like to see it being made by bluepoint, but rather by orginal team silent members like Masahiro Ito to keep the design of characters and monsters or fulfilling the original vision, and a Japanese team over all if possible this time.

I would love even quality HD remaster of SH2, on other hand SH1 would need full remake. I would kill for both those games. :)

I have beaten SH2, 3 several times on PC with the highest resolutions possible in front of a monitor and also with noise filter turned off, it was just as scary as playing on the PS2 with via CRT. I mean you see the pre rendered CGI cutscenes who have better graphics than real time, do they not drive the atmosphere? Then why shouldnt better graphics in general do it?

With good art direction, use of colors, bloom and mist it can give the feeling of the old game.

Bring it to PC and let the PC community look after this gem. Remaking it on consoles with limitations wont do it justice in 5 years time. Time less games need timeless hardware.
I did enjoy the Silent Hill trilogy. Shame its at an end. They should focus on making a new game. Afterall many Silent Hill games have been released and the better the visual upgrades they improve on, the more of the games flare it loses.
