Combat being a slog is the big elephant in the room that makes a lot of people with no familiarity with SH wonder what all the fuss was about. Three out of four solve the "SH's combat is bad, though" problem by largely or completely removing it. (And it owes a bit to Downpour.) The Medium is probably a third. How do you take the ideas behind SH and reinvent them, or translate them? Shattered Memories is one answer. A polished remaster, like what the fans are doing with the Enhanced Edition, would be more fitting so that modern audiences can play it without any sacrifice made to Team Silent's artistic vision.Ī modern game that plays like SH2 would get absolutely hammered in the modern market. I kinda want a studio like Bluepoint to remake this game, but, if the Demon's Souls remake is any indication, I start to get afraid something crucial will be lost or deeply altered in the process, be it its art direction, its plot, its oh-so-peculiar voice-cast, its soundtrack or something else. I love SH3 a lot, it's a better-looking and scarier game, but it doesn't even come close of matching SH2's morbid beauty and depth. They were, and still are, smart and cultured dudes, at the peak of their talent. The devs just knew their stuff : they read tons of books, saw tons of movies, listened to tons of music.
One of gaming's crowing achievements, especially in terms of storytelling, with its incredible plot twist and the final moments of the game being some of the most powerful and emotional sequences ever put on disc.
Nothing to add to what was already said above.
