The thing about this remake was that the initial reveal was also the announcement that it was compromised by the uglification consultants, and getting hyped for it became difficult. Silent Hill was one of the series from what in retrospect is turning out to be a golden age of gaming, and even people I know who were super fans of the originals are giving this a pass. Even in small concessions, woke is woke, and woke fatigue turned into exhaustion a long time ago.

Resorting to poisoning nostalgia is getting tired and we should not be rewarding modern publishers for it. It just gives them incentive to revive peacefully resting IPs and turn them into garbage. When this fad fades away, we'll talk.
