[Dracarys]

New VA sounds fine to me.

New VA sounds fine to me.

Heh, I was waiting for your fantagonism. It's common knowledge around here that you never liked SH2 so I was fully expecting this.

[Canas Renvall]

^ Kylie never liked SH2?

[MeanBob]

New voices are terrible. 'Nuff said . If only Konami paid back Guy Cihi

[Agito]

Well I guess its a good pick up if you've never played the games and are wanting to get into it, right? Although, the SH games would scare the hell out of me XD

That comparison really hammers home the differences. Eddie just sounds so much worse in the new version.

Also, are they just keeping the old FMV's with no updates?

[GuardhouseMusic]

Ah, "the real silent hill experience," presenting you with well researched retrospectives. Just don't mind the pretentious and feeble attempts at humor. Whatever, I'm with them in this case.

[DarkMemories]

The voices wouldn't be all that bad (except for James, who sounds like's trying really hard to sound masculine) if it weren't for the lip synch that's simply not going to ever work correctly.

[Kei_M]

At first my reaction was very negative, but watching the comparison (which I guess was trying to show how bad they were) actually made me appreciate them. They are different yes, but when I stopped trying to compare them...they actually were easier to listen to.

[Canas Renvall]

I still think Eddie sounds wretched, James sounds too... manly (like he's trying to sound masculine, as DarkMemories said), but goddammit... I like the more sinister-sounding Maria. I'll buy this used down the line I'm sure, just for Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

[Smiley]

I daresay I think I've agitated some people on Rely on Horror over this matter.

[Darkmoon]

...there are still people at Rely on Horror? I thought they'd all left.

[Smiley]

If there's a topic relevant I'll contribute to a discussion. I was unaware until recently of the troubled waters that site seems to have here. But I'm not sure I know the full story.

[Darkmoon]

Not much of a story. The admin over there went a little mad with power, the forums turned into an old boys only club (something we've been accused off, but when it's a case of the mods being ordered to leave certain chosen members alone...), they had a fiasco when they refused to take down the RE5 demo spoilers and it cost them an interview with a member of the development team, and then they switched to the Rely on Horror thing.

That and the site was about 1/3 adverts...it was so bad it earned the nickname Pop-Up Horror.

Basically, a lot of people just found it crap. I have no idea if it's still like that.
