since it was thriving finally

Resident Evil 2-style remake of what the vast majority consider
to be not only the greatest Silent Hill games ever but also one of the greatest survival horror

its release here we’re going to go over a few key details
that you should know about Silent Hill 2’s upcoming remake
1: (A faithful remake)
in many ways, Silent Hill 2 will be taking cues from Resident Evil 2’s reimaginings
but in one key way, it will chart its path something that Konami and Blubber team
have both consistently insisted that the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake is going to be a very faithful
Recreation of the legendary 2001 title will of course be expanded and changed in several different ways
which we’ll get to shortly but as far as the main story is concerned
you can expect the Remake to stick close to the original script
2: ( Returning Former Leads)
blooper team has taken on a massive undertaking
as it looks to do justice to Silent Hill 2’s Legacy with its remake but though there are many
working on the Remake who had no involvement in the original
a few couple of the key members of the original games
development team have had a role to play in the remix development as well
specifically, veteran art director and creature designer Masi Hiroo and composer Akira Yamaoka have both been actively involved
interestingly Lead Series producer Mok revealed in a Famitsu interview
that the original creators were pushing for more radical changes
in the remake with Blue Burtin being the one to keep things more restrained on that front
3: (Revamped Intro)
the larger details of the main story will remain mostly unchanged
in the upcoming remake but zooming into the finer details
you can expect a fair amount of alterations and changes to the opening,
for instance, has seen various tweaks as we have seen in the Hefty amount of gameplay footage
that has been showcased thus far from item placement and enemy encounters
being remixed to the layout of some areas having been tweaked to new optional rooms
and paths having been added in some areas for added exploration speaking of which
4: (more explorable buildings)
The blubber team is delivering an extended gameplay experience with its take on silent Hil 2 which will include greater room for exploration as revealed in a preview
on the Playstation blog players will for instance find entirely new buildings that they can enter and explore that weren’t present in the original game with rewards
including ammo pickups and other resources though of course some of these new Interiors will have threats and challenges of their own
5: (changed layouts)
In addition to some new areas being added in we can probably expect a good number of Silent Hill 2’s returning locations to be very familiar with their design
in the remake, a fair few are going to be completely revamped as well for instance the PlayStation as mentioned earlier blog
preview revealed that both the Woodside and Blue Creek apartment buildings have seen their layouts changed almost entirely in the remake
which means even veteran fans of the original can expect unfamiliar

6: (Combat Changes)
the area where Silent Hill 2’s remake is going to be most different from the original because of course unlike the original
it’s going to be a shoulder third-person game playing and controlling much like the re2 Remake that will go hand in hand with other changes
such as James now being able to dodge attacks melee combat being much more brutal and even enemies having new attacks and animations to make them more threatening and unpredictable
7:(enemy encounters)
beyond the core mechanics themselves combat will also see some other key changes such as all enemy Encounters in the game being either replaced remain in the words
8: (Motoi Okamoto to play magzi)
Lead Series producer Motoi Okamoto talking about how the Remake Changes the Combat in an interview with Play magazine
he said we have also replaced and revamped all the enemies from where they were placed in the original so everyone can have a fresh take on combat
9: (puzzles)
similar to the combat the puzzles are another area where the silent til to remake will take some Liberties though obviously there are
some puzzles that the Bloober team has brought over as a fair number of them have also been changed while several are entirely new speaking to the PlayStation blog about the remake’s approach
10: (Mateusz Lenart via playstation blog)
puzzles creative director Mateusz Lenart had the following to say we’ve taken great care to build upon the memory of the original Silent Hill 2 by sometimes twisting and confounding players’ expectations about certain puzzle
solutions in a kind of tribute to the inventiveness and playfulness of the original game we believe that
This approach alongside the numerous and often surprising references to the original presented in the game will bring joy to the fans of the classic Silent Hill 2 while at the same time offering them something new and interesting to solve
similar to the original game the Remake will also let you select the difficulty for combat and puzzles separately
11: ( UI customization options)
one thing that the Bloober team has always been good at is crafting games
that looks extremely cinematic which of course is exactly what a modern
version of Silent Hill 2 would need to that end if you’re looking for the most cinematic and immersive experience
possible you will have the option to turn off every single onscreen UI element
which was confirmed by the Bloober team recently on Twitter
12: (90s filter)
Something else that Bloober confirmed at the same time was the presence of a ’90s filter in the Silent Hill 2 remakes
never mind the fact that silent til 2 came out in 2001
we’ll just ignore that fact it is supposed the studio filter
will add a grain effect color correction and Screen adjustments bringing the game’s look closer to what you might remember of the original
13:(Altered dialogue)
Though Silent Hill 2 is going to be a largely faithful remake it’s not going to recreate the original story
word for word as per creative director Mateusz Lenart the Remake features slightly altered dialogue in some instances
which in turn is driven by the fact that it uses performance to capture the central characters from the original story James and Maria are at the heart
of our remake as well as their emotional arcs have been preserved with great care being given to showcasing their emotions with motion capture technology
Mateusz Lenart said
this allows us to employ show don’t tell techniques more often which is why some of the dialogue has been slightly altered to add an extra layer of nuance to the character’s Dynamics
14:(OST details)
as mentioned previously veteran Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka has returned in the same capacity for the upcoming remake but what exactly can we expect from its soundtrack well quite a
but it seems not only has the entire original soundtrack been brought over and remade from scratch entirely new tracks are also going to be included speaking on Twitter about his work
(Akira Yamaoka via twitter)
on the Remake Yama Oka wrote after 25 years my approach to music has evolved this work reflects that change blending past passion with today’s sound challenging me like never before
15: (length)
the original Silent Hill 2 isn’t a long game but it looks like the Remake is set to be a much beefier experience as per the aforementioned
Matas Lenard an average first playthrough of the Silent Hill 2 remake will be about 16 to 18 hours long though players who take their time with the game can push that up to over 20 hours the original 2001 title’s main story was about 7 to 8 hours in length with a completionist playthrough being about twice as long as we’re looking at a noticeably expanded experience with the Remake
(PS5 tech details)
Silent Hill 2 is releasing as a PS5 console exclusive which of course means we can expect it to leverage the
console’s hardware a fair bit that will mean support for the Dual Senses
adaptive triggers and feedback as well as the console’s 3D audio capabilities
meanwhile, it’s also confirmed that the game will feature no loading screens whatsoever
