I never played the SH serie, not because it looks bad but because it looked way to scary to play back in the days.

I have only heard good things about it, but I think I would profit more playing the remake, because graphics, sound design and technology changed way to much.

I know all of the die hard fans are going to down vote... The power of nostalgia. But have you tried to replay the first tomb rider, first metal gear, first resident evil...? While they left some good memories from the past, replaying them today will just scatter your memories into some strange soup-feeling you wished you never touched !

Either way, I'm happy I can finally give SH2 a shot :) I heard it was the best from the serie.

I’m looking forward to playing this, so will be staying staying away from anything early like this, and not even clicking through.

To go with the discussion prompt; I do think modern games can, but they need to stay as true as possible in a number of ways. Games like Silent Hill 2 won’t benefit from changing the combat to something more action oriented, and the story needs to be as close as possible. Sometimes things may differ and that’s understandable, but the question has to be asked, “Is this the game that would have been made back then if they had todays funding, technology, or knowledge?”
