« I think the remake has value because a new generation can experience it. As a creator, I’m very happy about it. » This is a great introduction. Tsuboyama primarily notes that while the move to a hand-held camera is heavily criticized by purists who favor the fixed shots of the original, this update aligns with the director’s vision. “*To be frank, I am not satisfied with the camera [de l’original]. Our depth of field and angles were limited by technique. The hand-held camera reinforces the feeling of realism. In other words, it makes me want to play the even more immersive remake of Silent Hill 2 !!! »
In his troubled dreams…
However, Masashi Tsuboyama took the liberty of attacking the marketing chosen by Konami, like absolutely all other fans of Silent Hill. « The differences between the original and the remake (4K, photorealism, bonus costume, etc.) are all mediocre. Who will this ad appeal to? I don’t think they’re doing enough to convey the work and its attractive elements to a generation that doesn’t know Silent Hill. » If the term “ mediocrity » seems out of place in this context, especially given the praise published afterwards, perhaps we should understand it only as criticism of the advertisements. Focusing everything on the fights in the first big trailer clearly didn’t hit the mark at the time.
