[richterw]

A homebrew demake by Stormergames. https://stormergames.itch.io/silent-hill-2-20th-anniversary-demake-for-gameboy Contains the main game + Born From a Wish, the side mode also remade based on the original game. Page description: One day I was trying out GB Studio and started making this...didn't have a PS2 anymore so most of the content was created from watching playthru videos. Then my harddrive on my computer crashed and the game came to a screeching halt. Luckily I had some builds on my PSP, 3DS XL, and Funkey S fer testin purposes. This ROM is "as is" not finished, but that said you can go through the whole game. There […]

We already got a Silent Hill 2 demake its called the remake

I am serious,but man this GBC version looks sick as hell.
Mad respect to the folks tho programmed this on the Gameboy color.

I slightly revised itView attachment 191817

Disregard this, the first one’s fine

Silent hill 1 has the visual novel version for gba, and it got a remake for gbc.
The gbc version is on the line to be posted to the repo next.

This I have heard of, what has stopped before? Probably a thought that I am now going to play the visual novel of Silent Hill, enough to relive even when changed, right? So thank you for saying this mention!

 

[SpiderGansta]

Looks cool, thanks.
I'll replace it.

Gran trabajo si señor lastima que es game boy, hubiera sido mejor en gba para aprovechar su potencia

I'm starting to think all these RPG maker horror games were a mistake, since unless this was a late April Fool's joke of some kind, making Silent Hill 2 a low rent Yume Nikki is just a really weak idea.

I think any demake is worth it, for how creative they can be in finding solutions to translate complex mechanics and visuals into a weaker system. It is not intended to replicate or replace the original experience in any way.

And making a full game, for free, is alot of work, definitely not an easy task.
You say you thought it would be like Resident Evil for GBC, but you're comparing a paid team of experienced developers against one guy doing this by himself while learning the tools. Kind of an unfair comparison.

And if i can say something, as someone that has indeed worked with gbstudio, the guy did a pretty good job in making eye-pleasing visuals. The gbc is not an easy system to work with when it comes to visuals.
Keeping it simplistic is a good solution, because trying to add too much detail and making something ugly to look at is a trap many fall into.

RPG Maker has decades of advantage though, yet still the vast majority use the same generic assets. And like I said, I know there are plenty of exceptions in both cases.

Bro, I've seen what RPG maker can do, that's not an excuse.

GB Studio games suffer from the same curse as RPG Maker: they all look the same. Obviously there are exceptions, and it's not necessarily a representation of their quality, but once you see it it's hard to unsee it.

I kind of expected this to look like the Resident Evil GBC game, not fucking Pokemon.

Thank you for who made this possible. I am always Silent Hill to play, in any way. Would there be a chance of making the same way for the very first Silent Hill? So special and otherworld, like a dark dream capture into the game somehow.
