That's fine and all, but this isn't a REmake, and it's not even done by the same people. I get the frustration with remakes that fail to capture the charm, tone and quality of the original, but this SH2 remake was actually super well received by longtime fans

(even if yes, some of the changes might not please everyone)

lol...if you say so. My point being...what I already wrote. duh.

The remake? No thank you. I'd rather have the original "good old game". lol
How about GOG get the original Silent Hill 2 (unaltered) for preservation purposes. I'll buy that version. :)

In that case, 95% of 27,958 Steam reviews disagree with your original point.

Well, that's good. When I start basing my feelings, perceptions, and attitudes about life on and around what a majority of half coherent/complicit STEAM users and others in general think and say en masse instead of what I think, I'll be sure to remember to give two flying shits. In the meanwhile, I care about technical performance...and that is undeniably bad to all but the most complicit of gamers.

You say Bethesda is bad...but we'll take your other argument about STEAM reviews and accuracy of quality. Those reviews and sales would contradict your claims of their being bad. You just wanna squawk to have something to squawk about. lol Try thinking for yourself and stop being a parrot.

Hell....Dustborn is a highly rated STEAM title after all.

In that case don't play any UE5 game because I didn't hear a good thing about performance of any game on that engine, to say nothing about gameplay or story. Well, in these case the story is good, but just because they didn't change it much from the original. Sadly I can't say the same for gameplay.

Je n'ai jamais joué à Silent Hill, l'occasion pour moi de m'y essayer :)

Merci à GOG et à KONAMI pour cette sortie free DRM =)

30% launch discount and still almost 50 Euros. Sorry, but this is a videogame and I will never be willing to pay that much for a videogame. I get most of my videogames for 10-20 Euros and they are also fine. I am also a bit concerned about one of the 1 stars reviews that states that they desexualized some characters since I hate censoring - but then again if I understood this correctly this is a game on its own so I would have to judge it on its own ... it goes to the wishlist for now in the hope that one day it reaches a discount that is good enough for me.

The fact that it took Konami so long to bring it here shows that GOG is still treated as second class - which is another thing I don't want to support (yes, I know that this might become a self fulfilling prophecy but I prefer to support publishers who really want to be on GOG and really want to support GOG) ... weren't Konami also the guys who removed their MGS2 game from GOG again?

Why shouldn't it? It is not a bad game at all. Telltale games have their fans and Dustborn is basically the same with a bit more gameplay. Those kind of games (the Telltale game storybook like games) might not be for everyone but enough to get a hight rated on Steam. If you look at the GOG reviews and substract those who never even played the game or only played it a few minutes on Steam before refunding it you would probably see a similar rating.

To each his own...but no. Dustborn is crap. Yes, I played it. You are on your own with that one. lol

I haven't played the game and I won't argue over your personal taste - if you don't like something, you don't like it - period!
However: the "verified owners' rating" is 4.6 out of 5.

So, very clearly, Marko is not "on his own with that one".

Have bought it and installed it on my quite old notebook and it's running surprisingly well.
It's REALLY FUN. Thanks GOG!
One downside to the deluxe edition: The digital soundtrack is only a rather small compilation and missing most of the tracks.
Will this be changed or do I have to download the missing tracks from Akira Yamaoka's YouTube channel? ;-)

My problem with all your statements is usage of the term "AAA", AAA has been specifically used to denote game's marketing and production budgets, not high perceived quality and certainly not performance. Hell, I remember time when Arkham Knight was released, that PC version was absolutely horrendous, and it was AAA game!

If we are going to be perfectly honest, I think Konami agrees with you of Bloober team not being able to make AAA game because this game doesn't feel like it had AAA budget for either marketing or production, I would say it feels more like AA game, sold at AAA price. That doesn't mean it's bad or good, just what I can observe from watching streams of it. Oh, and performance sucked at release to a guy who probably had a decent rig if that's what you want to know.

Do not get me wrong, it is not that the game is running bad or something but it simply got the usual "UE5-demand" when running at high/highest settings. It is always possible to lower settings but it surely will "scale down" graphics and not sure how much lower it can go for a UE5 engine game, as this engine got some "minimum demand". So i do consider it unlikely to be able to run on some potato-machines on a integrated GPU and if so... it surely will not be fun.

I can only say how it looks for me on a modern 3090 TI powered system:

If i got full settings/native @1080P then i get 45-55 FPS with max GPU load.

If i got full settings/DLSS + max quality@1080P then i get 60 FPS in usual but as well almost max GPU load.

The performance is still alright for me but i could not go any lower on the GPU using those settings.

And if i want to go @4k then either i would have to upscale the graphic (which is possible) or use a 5090 for more or less the same results on performance.

Again, the game plays fine and surely looks awesome, for me... it simply is not a "potato-PC-lover", such as the classic-version of this game.

I'm not a "Tank Controlz R HARD!" person. The original plays wonderfully and is still relatively unique by today's standards. The remake had it's awesome gore and lighting, otherwise it's a generic horror game. Subjective? Maybe.

When I saw my mail said Silent Hill 2 released I figured now I can play the original. Rather shocking that it is the remake tbh. Did not expect Konami to release it considering the lack of other Konami classics or even the MGS collection.

So... does this mean MGS Delta will release on GOG to? Here is hoping all games get GOG releases.
