Silent Hill 2 Remake introduces improvements to the classic survival horror game to match it with modern sensibilities. Gone are the clunky movement and the fixed camera, replaced with evolved controls and an over-the-shoulder camera. Players will have to explore Silent Hill, solve puzzles, and confront abominable creatures in search of answers.
Silent Hill 2 Remake introduces the following key features new to the game:
- High-end graphics with ray-tracing, models built from the ground up, and made using cutting-edge technical enhancements, the ambiance and terror of Silent Hill are remarkably made more prominent and intimidating in the remake. Matching the visuals are terrifying new sounds, with an immersive soundscape that ups the terror of the fog-ridden town.
- Reimagined Silent Hill with an expanded environment, even older players will have a fun time exploring the world of the Remake. Enter locations and buildings that were once upon a time inaccessible, newly added to bring the horror immersion to a brand-new level.
- The over-the-shoulder camera replaces the original's static fixed-camera, bringing players closer to the terror and on the action, putting players much deeper into James' shoes as you come face-to-face with the horrors of Silent Hill.
- Familiar weapons like the steel pipe and the handgun make a return, but the game features an updated combat system to make controls less clunky and the weapons much easier to wield. Players can dodge attacks with carefully timed button inputs, aim down sights to target enemy weak points and for a more accurate shot, and engage enemies in a more visceral and personal manner.
With all of these new features, Silent Hill 2 is reimagined in a way that makes the game more visually terrifying and feel like a much more personal journey compared to the original. The game will show that the original formula of Silent Hill still works for today's standards, especially when all of the bells and whistles are added to make the game up-to-par to modern day standards.
