Silent Hill 2 vs Silent Hill HD Collection - Dub Comparison

[hindd95]

It's been confirmed; they didn't (or won't; don't know if they already finished doing the remaster) redub the games; Guy Cihi, and most fans, didn't let them. Actually, I simply can't understand why Konami needs to redub everything for some re-release; it all started with Symphony Of The Night. With the exception of MGS4 (which was produced by Kojima Productions, not Konami itself), today's Konami is trash, compared to the past generations. Just like Capcom. But, just my opinion.

To be honest, the voice talent is better in the re-release, marginally.

However, there was nothing 'that' wrong with the original voice cast to necessitate these new changes, which annoys me because maybe that's one of the aspects people liked about the originals.

It's like if George Lucas, when he decided to release the Star Wars Blu-Ray complete collection, also decided to re dub the entirety of the voice work. If the deliverance was totally different, the lines would not be as memorable.

@gisellecelestine

Going on from that, they'd better not have butchered Silent Hill 3...

[joarvallen]

@gisellecelestine Oh, but they did :(

[ImmortalxWaters]

The new Maria sounds sorta' like a man....just saying.



[Bummercund]

@GoddessOfAnubis Yeah they should re-release it with the original voices, even if they're hard to track down they're worth preserving. This just sounds lifeless.

And I think this should be included in the next release. In the scene following the videotape, you'd be sharing in James's devastation, and the rest of the game would have a different tone:

[TheClarenceBoddicker]

anyone who thinks the original VA's were better need to take off the nostalgia glasses. The new voice acting is far superior. Also don't mistake "confusion" or "vagueness" of the original actors delivery with plain old poor translation, or just bad direction.

[Bummercund]

Grr. An insult. Greed can't get you this level of brilliance, so they try to rewrite history.

There's a reason people are shifting further and further away from big name games, as this video plainly shows.

[GoddessOfAnubis]

@Bummercund It's more than an insult. It's like Konami is just punching us in the gut and trying to say that they can do whatever they want and we'll buy their shit. Well, no. It doesn't work that way. I had planned on buying this piece of shit until the cashier mentioned that they changed the voices and I kindly asked for him to cancel my transaction.

decisamente inascoltabile il nuovo doppiaggio...sembrano quasi innaturali le voci

[Zellth]

doppiaggio troppo forzato e da film americano... -.- Guy sei il migliore!!!

[Sfacteria]

preferisco mille volte il vecchio doppiaggio, ci sono affezionata...e la mcglynn dovrebbe cantare, non doppiare xD

[DsDoomAlexander]

Non è male, solo che ovviamente le voci classiche sono insostituibili, ma questi ultimi non sono affatto male... Ovviamente non ai livelli delle voci vecchie :D

[kaede89xd]

@DsDoomAlexander il punto è....c'era proprio bisogno di rifare il doppiaggio?

[DeathlyDraft]

i prefer the new version of eddie, anutral about the Mary's part and not so happy with the part with Maria and James :-/ (sure the final version will be better thanks to the mixing)

[THEJonathanVincent]

I really hope this game will have an option to use the classic voices.

[TheHorrorAnthem]

The classic line "see, I'm real" has been destroyed. The new way it is delivered completely takes away from how confusing and eerie it was in Silent Hill 2. Now I know there is much work to be done still in post production, mixing, and hearing it with music inserted and all, but its off to a bad start. Eddie's "pow" was not very affective in the new voice either. And I will miss Jame's softer more pathetic voice.

[lbanaszak2]

I will buy it-it looks better & sounds better-plus it's THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME -3-3-3-3

[NIGHTKILLER05]

FAILLLLLLLL

[Lucignolone90]

che merdata di doppiaggio Jark!

[Squallgrave]
