Konami and Bloober Team finally unveiled the ‘remake’ of Silent Hill 2, among other franchise projects. According to Mateusz Lenart, creative director and lead designer at Bloober Team, the ‘remake’ of Silent Hill 2 it will preserve the atmosphere of the classic but will modernize its playable aspects. By working closely with Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka, the developers make sure of that.
The over-the-shoulder camera is one of those new elements. This will immerse players in the story of James and the surreal world of Silent Hill. With a new perspective comes a new combat system and ways to view or explore the sinister town. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, PlayStation 5 gamers will experience Silent Hill 2 with a high visual, auditory and sensory level.
Some of the features of Unreal Engine 5 that stand out on their own are Lumen (dynamic global illumination and reflections system) and Nanite (virtualized geometry system). This will lead to Silent Hill 2 to new and highly detailed realistic levels, in turn elevating the tense atmosphere.
Not only will the game benefit graphically, but also because of the 3D audio capabilities on PS5. The DualSense controller will, of course, bring haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Some of it can be seen in The Mediumthe previous game Bloober Team. Last but not least, SSD storage technology will help eliminate loading screens altogether as players explore the town of Silent Hill.
Thus, Konami and Bloober Team aim to create an ultimate experience with the ‘remake’ of Silent Hill 2. The game does not yet have a release date and will be a temporary exclusive to PS5 and PC for the time being..
