  • Personally, The new ones do not do justice, but I can see why, for a new person to the games, they may have more of an effect on the horror survival aspect. Like Maria's voice, the new one goes better with her personality (someone who has yet to have the joy of playing the second game).

  • the original voices were better. why fix what isn't broke? wtf.

  • the only reason u shouldnt buy the game full price is for the fact that sh4 is not in it, NOW THAT IS BULLSHIT.

  • Noo!!! Don't like this!

  • i prefer the old ones to be honest. i don't like eddies new voice at all. James is ok, still prefer the original. Mary/Maria is fine.

  • I cannot understand why the big fuss. I'm ok with the voices, they are not unpleasant and out of character, if they don't change their personalities everything is fine.

  • While i admit the new voice actors aren't that good, that doesn't mean the old ones were great, hell most of them were flat as hell.

  • exactly, they were bad then and there bad now, who cares?

  • en el caso de que el video este sea real: cual era la necesidad de cambiar las voces???? va a ver doblaje me supongo...

  • Maria Sounds like an old creep with her new voice , what did she drink ? a lying figures butt ?

  • the re recorded version isnt that bad ?!

  • FUCK the message of the user. WORTH the $40. THINK ABOUT IT.

  • Fucks given about voice acting: 0

    Underpants shat and thusly ruined at the thought of revisiting the horror of SH 2 & 3: 6

  • who the f*ck gives a shit... i played it.. finished it.. and i dont have to go scurrying around looking for an original version of this damn game just to say to hardcore silent hill fans "i have the original hahaha" ... lame?

  • Why buy this for consoles? You all have PCs just get a torrent and have the better version.

    Besides the voice overs, the HD console versions lack some details and lighting effects.

  • @acidspoodie What better version? The Directors Cut for pc, filled with glitches?

  • From where is this? James Bond 1989 Voice-Sample? Marias voice is horrible!

  • Is there Japanese voice with English sub in option?

  • The only one that doesn't work is Mary/Maria

    The rest seem like improvements to me. Why are people acting as if the original SH voice acting was the best in the industry? Seems to me people are confusing nostalgia - better. Some guy even admitted the hammy delivery added to the original games. Are you ****in kidding me?

  • That Tomm guys really needs to get fired!!!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA it's Gaara's voice! Who else where they gonna put in here?!now?!

    James: All I want from you is an answer!

    Maria: It doesn't matter who I am, I'm here for you James...see I'm real...BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thanks for the video, i wanted to fund konami becose of the great job they done me and assist me in metal geear online... but after wachting this i gonna wait to see what will happen. i think i gonna buy metal gear hd collection first, this one i know is good, they wouldnt and coullntt change voice acting. that would not be acceptable in mgs 3... raiden in mgs2 idk... but changing naked snake, ocelot and the boss voices.. cant happen

  • man , im glad i saw this video. i was almost buying silent hill hd preordered.. i gonna wait it releases, see reviews and ask people about it, if the voice acting would be changed , and like this, i would pay a niquel for it. so, the good news you told, is 100% sure silent hill 2 will have original voice acting?

  • wow this sucks man , James sounds like shit in the new one

  • i like it better

  • Haters going hate.

  • I must be the only person on the planet who likes the new voices. To each their own I suppose...

  • This is like as bad as the remake of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes for the GC. Why remake what is perfect? Comparing the remake voice acting shows deteriorated quality, it goes from superb to just crappy. They should have left alone the voice acting in Silent Hill 2.They wasted time with crap like this.. : /

  • @IntoTheMindlessAbyss thats true, metal gear solid 1 ps1 version has mucht better voice acting and soundtrack than twin snakes.. changed cutscenes to worse also, and game play not made to play this game and scenarios, but made to play mgs2

  • Really? O_o The old voice actors were so much better. Marry and Maria sound like a guy is doing their voices:(

  • And also.. the voices are the soul of the characters.. they're as much an element of the game as anything else. So say it wasn't the voices, what if it was the soundtrack? Or the contrast/texture? Or the monsters? The point is, Silent Hill 2 was a carefully mastered piece of art, and you throw one thing down the drain, it disrupts the flow... In any case, I'll probably still buy the game...

  • Honestly, Troy Baker is a great voice actor, and I've loved his other works, and even his performance here is solid, but he's not James. I really hope there's an option to keep the original voice cast... because I fell in love with James's voice in the game.. Troy Baker's just isn't the same.. I personally think Eddie is the only decent one. Maria/Mary I might be able to put up with, but I prefer the originals..

  • They need to update this shit, back in November they announced Silent Hill 2 will come with an original voice cast option. The same is not true for Silent Hill 3 though.

  • @TwinPerfectChannel, you are a bunch of butthurt ninnies. I'd buy into your little boycott if the acting was bad, but I ONLY see improvement.

  • HOW DARE KONAMI. I LOVE PLAYING HORROR GAMES WITH CALAMITOUS VOICE ACTING THAT RUINS MY IMMERSION. HOW DARE THEY RUIN THAT FOR ME WITH DECENT ACTORS WHO UNDERSTAND SUBTLETY.

  • @EZHarryKaraoke I agree with your sarcasm... assuming your being sarcastic yeah?

  • Comment removed

  • When I heard the voice actors could be changed for the hd collection i was enraged, but after seeing this video I wish they had kept the re-recorded versions. Look past your nostalgia, and you'll see the more subtle preformances lend greater beleivability to the cinemas. Eddie especially.

  • @dudestep By original Eddie voice i can see his hide insane, by new just only dry voice. Where actor's game by a voice? With others the same.

  • Silly Americans...survival horror is for Japan

  • Not to mention fucking the actors in the eyes. They're worse than George Lucas.

  • WHY IN GODS FUCK DID THEY DO THIS. Are they trying to rub shit on some of my fondest recollections of playing games?

  • I think Maria's new voice is great, but Eddie's... not so much.

  • AGGG

  • Oh my focking ugly, bloody pieces of dog damned shit!!!!11

    They've ... oh my~

  • Arg fcking bad voices

  • It's terrible. Why all new voices so low and baritone. All new voices so empty. Eddie what happened with you? What they did with you?

  • Idk. I prefer James's original voice actor but I also prefer Maria's new voice acting...am I just weird? xD

  • @dkdj12 imo, i prefer the james' new voice and the maria's original voice acting

  • To be perfectly honest,the ONLY voice I really dont like is James,but the others...are OK! I mean cmon! there's not that much difference.

  • @shsz1984 James doesn't even bother me, when you're playing the game you won't even notice. Like you said, there isn't much of a difference.

  • i think you can change the voices back to original in the options menu

  • i like jame's new voice but the others are shit

  • New voices are superior. Slightly.

  • Maria's voice is SO bad -_-'' wtf?

  • and come on you got Mary Elizabeth McGlyn voicing a major charater, the woman who SINGS the songs for Silent Hill a voice actress for Silent Hill is that not nerdgasm for you guys. And seriously the message at the end is just you guys being complete dumbasses and swore dicks just because you personally don't like the acting. Out of all the voices done the only and only fuck up they did was with the audio quality of the home movie that's it....that and that they didn't get,Steve Blum!

  • honestly you guys are uptight pricks for complaining really, I've heard the voice acting of the origanl and it's bad acting and I actually like who they got to do the new voices who are ACTUAL voice actors who know how to act. that's just my 2 cents right there

  • @TimeBomb014X The old voices were actual actors too. It was just executed badly because of the technology of that time.

  • @KiNGKoDeCKS technology has nothing to do with how good an acors acting is if it did then Metal Gear Solid 1 voice acting would have been awful and even if they are actual actors (the old voices) then there not any good ones or even in the sameleag as the new voices for this game like Liam O'Brien, Mary Elizabeth McGlyn and Troy Baker

  • What the hell is this? The original voice acting was perfect. Something about the disjointed slightly hammy delivery added to dreaminess of the whole game. Also, why would a home video have such crisp studio voice recording? If your intention was to try and make the game a little more bland and soulless, you've succeeded.

  • @PleasePlaySomeMore dude Silent Hill voice acting have never been great even this one so stop bullshitting

  • But...but I like the new recordings much better...

  • @chiapa6969 and thats okay ....... you are wrong though ...... the new ones are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo bad.

  • Mary and Maria sound the worse!

  • original is better

  • Original much better.

  • The only one I don't like is James :( he sounds weird, other than that the voices are pretty good :)

  • @LinkinPark7871 Eddie doesnt sound good.

  • It's not the same without Guy Cihi. :(

  • MARY ELIZABETH MCGLYNN ALL FUCKING DAY!!!

    I just love the hell of that woman and her voice.

  • @MrBoynton27 beautiful voice and amazing song talent, unfortunate she obviously wasnt meant to direct voice over work. since she fucked up the feel.

  • @morten123456789 You know nothing of the woman's work, she is an experienced voice over director with many fantastic anime dubs under her belt

  • @TimeBomb014X evidence 1. this video.

    i won this argument.

  • @morten123456789 nope an unfinished product and a couple scenes do not prove you right and the new actors give better performances than the original, if you don't like the voice it self that's your problem but not liking the voice itself is not evidence of it being worse or inferior that is merely your personal preference

  • i'll buy it anyway....just for silent hill 2

  • mary sounds like a cougar...

  • Maria sounds like Fye Valentine from cowboy bebop... please keep the originals.

  • Eddie sounds like Garra from Naruto lol

  • the only guilty of this is Konami America,fuck them!!!!!!

  • wtf why would they change the voices, seems like a waste of time and money.

  • Except for Eddie, i'd say the new voices are better.

    Srsly guys, not a big deal.

  • @AdamBucceri I completely agree with you.

  • it was to funny

  • I don't give a shit if they changed the voices, I FINALLY GET TO PLAY ME SOME SILENT HILL. <-- has only played some Homecoming

  • hey eddie look like chucky when he talk like that at 00:36 to 00:45

  • James' new voice sounds decent, but they shouldn't have changed Eddie's voice. The old Eddie sounded so much more disturbed, you could tell from the first time you met him, his voice echoed a breaking point.

  • I actually don't mind the new voice work. In that video it sounds more like earie and creepy

  • I hated the new voices, they're so flat and common. Why did they need to be re-recorded anyway?

    Luckily I haven't played SH3 so the new voices shouldn't be to too bad as I have nothing to compare them to.

  • I don't think James' voice is that bad, it at least mostly fits with him. the rest of the voices really don't. I still prefer Guy Cihi as James though.

  • You do know your being freaking selfish about Silent Hill 3 VA cuz they couldn't find all the actors for SH3

  • Whait. Maria's voice just like Google Translate.

    

  • I don't know if there's something wrong on my end but video's 14 (second part of homecoming), and 27 (voice acting comparison) link to the first video in the playlist while they still say "14" and "27".

  • Fuck my life.

  • uh yeah. i'm still gonna buy it

  • @MowMan7

    Woah, Mr. Rebel.

  • @wollclark this is true

  • Well, as much as I love the original, I have to say that these new voice actors will suit it for the 360 and Ps3. Let's leave the original with the Ps2. At least if you have a 360 or/and ps3 plus a ps2, you can still enjoy the original experience and the newer one too.

  • The voice of the girl sounds like Mona Sax from Max Payne 2...

  • man screw y'all if you were a true fan of the games you wouldn't care what the voices sounded like. I'm gonna get this cuz its on the 360 and its the 2nd and 3rd, WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID!!?

  • @raeven1212 I know, right!?

  • Comment removed

  • The voices are 1000x better I don't know what everyone's complaining about...

  • original voices!!!!!! i like the fat gaara tho!!! he is being overused tho. he is the voice for azura's wrath too.

  • dude they fucked up the voices! screw HD

  • the original are better

  • Lol. They were going to use Mary Elizabeth for Mary. As much as I love that woman and appreciate her singing for the series, changing Mary / Maria (or anyone, for that matter) was absolutely unnecessary. I'm glad they didn't, if at least for SH2.

  • Silent Hill 3 iss bullshit!

  • The voice actors chosen by Team Silent were chosen for their acting ability specifically for the feeling they wanted to convey. To replace the voices is to take away from the authors' intentions.

  • My opinion isn't really a logical one I suppose but to me it doesn't matter if they're better. To me this is no different than if George Lucas refilmed the parts of Luke, Han and Leia with new actors on a green screen, and then digitally removed Mark, Harrison and Carrie in the next re-relase of the Star Wars Trilogy. Sure they could all be better, but would the quality of their work really matter?

  • god the female voice on the re-recording is awesome lol (i think that's the same VA that does the voice in ghost in the shell)

  • @impmon12345 It is. Her name is Mary Elizabeth McGlynn but us Silent Hill buffs know her as Melissa Williamson who sings about 95% of the songs from Silent Hill. Honestly I'm looking forward to the game.

  • oh come on I dn't care about new voice acting or not. I really don't mind about new innovations in some things, but the main reason why I would get the HD collection a because I never got to own 2 & 3 for PS2.

  • holy shit the new voices are horrible! O_O

  • $50 for slightly better voices and slightly better graphics T____T fail

  • @YOYOdaMOOSE die fag dieeee lol.

  • Funny Maria really sounds like a whore now and James sounds a lot better EMPHASIS on the A LOT!!!!

  • The new James sounds better...truthfully. I don't see what the problem is.

  • The new James sounds ALOT better.

  • The new voices sound better... I don't understand the problem. Most late 90s/early 2000s games had terrible VOs.

  • I am buying this.If people don't know Troy Baker,Mary Elizabeth McGlynn,and Liam O'Brien,they don't know nothing about their anime english dub work and other video games voices they worked on. QQing all you want you are still don't get the knowledge how hard they worked on this project.

  • @AdrainShepard

    I don't see what working on other games and on anime has to do with Silent Hill. The original voice actors worked on this as well, yet Konami and western developers were more than ready to throw their work out so they wouldn't have to pay them royalties.

  • @wollclark Hmmmm I agree there...Pufff I shouldn't have let those qqers get to me.I am still looking forward to this game anyways.

  • Hmmmm I thought people said the old voice acting was bad...

  • You know, from an acting standpoint, these new voices are a lot better in terms of which words they emphasize as well as more serious deliveries of the lines. The older voices seem more like old 90's voice acting... Which makes sense because it more or less was.

  • I bet that this voice acting would be good if everyone had never heard the original voice acting. Also why would you not by a game just because they re-recorded the voice acting?

  • @Flyingnumbat I have never heard the original and i think the new sounds somewhat better! my opinion lol

  • @Marcoj24 your one of the first, but i am happy that you do think this way because the developers put alot of time and effort into this ^_^

  • @Flyingnumbat yea, its hard to hate something people work on. even if it is bad you still gotta appreciate it for what its worth

  • sounds like crap!

  • Original.... >.>

    

  • why this collection don't have 3d? . 3d+headphones+lights off= ultimate silent hill experience

  • new Eddie and Maria's voice is awful. but the others are good

  • @Rifqi1464 Agreed. What about a mish mash of both? It might lead to a lawsuit from the original actors, but hey! :D

  • the new dub is good. but the original is better....

  • @Rifqi1464 Than you don't know nothing about Mary Elizabeth and Liam O'Brien at all

  • I just can't compreehend how people that are supposed to be FANS complain about Mary Elizabeth McGlynn dubbing Mary/Maria. Do you understand she is the voice behind ALL the songs Akira Yamaoka wrote for the whole series?

    New dub is way better. Get over it, pimplefaced ragers.

  • @Piolivers its everyone's own opinion

  • They both sound horrible. Only fans would expend so much effort to get something that sounds shitty back into the game, when it really wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway. Your beloved nostalgia can't correct the blemishes that time has instilled.

  • I have not played SH2&3 but watching this... well the new voices are so much better. ^^

  • Last clip was actually okay

  • stop ur bitchin people lol, its a game, you play it for the love of the game so what they got new voice actors lol so what that isnt going to stop me from pounding in some devilish nightmare's mind with a rusty pipe or a knife lol :3

  • The originals were better

  • Thank goodness I have the old one e___e

  • they get the original voices back .. uhul

  • all the characters become chris redfield,solid snake and batman....except marry......

  • I LOVE THE ORIGINAL

  • the only decent voice was MARYS others were shit COME ONE I LOVE MAX PAYNE GAMES OR GODFATHER MOVIES BUT THIS NEW ROUF VOICE OF JAMES IS JUST SHIT JAMES ISENT A TOUF GUY HE DOSENT MAKES THE CREATURES ...OFERS THEY CANT REFUSE ....OR ...I KILLED THE BITCH THE SOULS STOP HUNTING AFTER ME THE CITY IS HUNTING AFTER ME COLD WIND CUTS YOUR FACE BAL BAL BLA I COULD MAKE MILLION EXAMPLES

  • Ok, that's just being an elitist douche. It's the exact same fucking game with different voices, WHO BTW AREN'T EVEN THAT BAD. (barring Eddie, that was godawful). If anything you should keep Downpour on a close watch instead. It'd be pretty fucking ironic that the HD remakes of the classics get low sales while the new generation SH goes unchecked.

    Gotta love ignorant elitism.

  • @alias100 no kidding, and not only that, but both original and re-recorded voices are going to be included.

  • I think the new voices are good.

  • good thing i have the old ones :D

  • Comment removed

  • what hapended to james

  • Has no one read the annotation?

  • hey guys im wondering if the silent hill hd collection will also have re-recorded voice for just silent hill 2or will it have re recorded voice in 2 and 3

  • original was the best. The voices had a coldness to them I loved it. This is just mehhhhhhhhhhhh

  • ORIGINAL are better ....

  • Its not that the voices are better or worse, its that the new voices dont reflect the same personalitys in the characters that the original did. And from what ive seen, the original does a better job at describing the emotions of the characters.

  • acting is better in the newer version

  • The new voice acting sounds far too raspy, almost like they are whispering to each other. It also sounds like they took a cue from the voice of Batman in the new movies. Absolutely terrible :(

  • They are not terrible, but I like the original voices better, especially James' voice. He sounds naive and confused in the original and I like that in him.

  • the new voice is much better. Maria sounds more confident etc...

  • I like the new acting better. Take off those nostalgia colored glasses and get over it. Its not like they completely redid the game with new characters or something.

  • Honestly was almost an improvement, if only the Tone was the New and the Voice the Old

  • The new voice for James sounds like Edward from Twilight.

  • @joshlayman86 Troy Baker provided the voice for James.

  • I wanna see what Heathers voice sounds like now. D:

  • I actually loved the new voice acting EXCEPT for the annoying drug voice they gave eddie..... ugh

  • Honestly, the new voice acting isn't any worse than the old stuff. In fact, I prefer the new James. This video sold me on it. Day one purchase.
