It should be noted that we don’t actually have a release date for the game, so the specs listed above could change (though they are noted as the official specs on the Steam page for the game). The game will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 for twelve months, with a PC version launching in lieu of other consoles. The game will launch on Xbox but not until further down the line, sadly. You’ll be able to fight monsters as James Sunderland in the remake across at least two consoles, though the primary concern for Silent Hill fans is that the original was a master-class in horror storytelling, and there’s a heavy concern that this simply won’t beat the original Silent Hill 2, that a full Silent Hill 2 remake simply isn’t possible from modern Konami.
The original used the technological limitations of what was then modern hardware to its advantage, with a limited draw-distance creating an aura of creepiness. It’s likely the new game uses new character animations and volumetric fog to enhance the scares, but it remains to be seen whether it’ll be enough. After all, a lot of us remember the full HD experience that was the Silent Hill 2 ports.
