You know the Silent Hill 2 remake, the one that we learned at yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play is coming out on October 8, 2024? Well, alongside the release date trailer, Konami also shared 13 minutes of gameplay during the following Silent Hill Transmission that offered a slightly more in depth look at, well, gameplay, and our resident Silent Hill head’s now had a chance to digest it.
Yep, get ready Bloober Team, we’ve got someone on our team who eats horror stuff for breakfast, and she’s been kind enough to share some brief impressions of your little gameplay video with me. Obviously, if you’re reading this as a horror nut yourself, feel free to draw your own conclusions from the gameplay.
You can find said 13 minutes of gameplay below, by the way. Now, here’s what our guides writer – Kelsey – drew from it in brief. First of all, in general the game seems much brighter in comparision to the original, not as dirty, grainy, or dark as Kelsey remembers or might have ideally hoped. She does acknowledge that perhaps the original appearance of Silent Hill 2 was a product of the times we need to move past, but we’re not entirely convinced.
