I actually really love the RE2 remake. Whatever it was they did, they did it justice recapturing the style and atmosphere of the original. I've been playing and still play the original often (could probably get an A rank in my sleep) and wasn't expecting much from the remake but it pleasantly surprised me.

But Silent Hill (especially 2) is a whole other thing. Recapturing the absolute gut-punches, hopelessness and dread is something I really don't see them doing. It's so hard to explain. Resident Evil is so much easier to do a remake for and do it right. They've shown that a few times. Silent Hill is a more nuanced and personal type of experience to both the main character and the player that I don't think can be replicated with a remake. A new game, sure. A remake? Time will tell I guess...
