Accordingly to Bloober Team creative director Mateusz Lenart, his team did make attempts to modernise the game by updating the puzzles, in-game atmosphere and game controls to make it more immersive and engaging for today’s audiences, but the game still retains pretty much 95% of its original content, staying true to what made the original Silent Hill 2 so iconic in the first place, from the ominous score, to memorable creatures and immersive story-telling. The game should take players 18 to 20 hours to complete on their first playthrough, and here are five things that the team has improved from the original.
#1. Fog-filled town recreated in 4K with additional areas to explore Fans of the 2001 original will remember the creepy town of Silent Hill engulfed in fog. For the remake, the town, located somewhere in Maine, USA, has never looked more beautiful, and eerie.
Every detail of the town has been painstakingly recreated in glorious 4K resolution, complete with ray-tracing and fog effects. As a nice little bonus, new build.
