Silent Hill 2 Remake drew some backlash during part of its development phase, but the truth is that those criticisms weren’t really justified. Bloober Team, the studio responsible for this remake, has shared quite a few scenes with actual gameplay and cinematic sequences, and I can assure you that fidelity level stick to the original It’s impressive.

It’s easy to get carried away by nostalgia and think that the original will always be better than the remake, but the truth is that it’s not, and for illustration we have a comparison video shared by the channel “Cycu1”. This channel has done a very good job in this comparison and confirms that we are practically facing a remake that follows a 1:1 pattern almost all the time.

On a technical level, the leap in graphics quality that was made with Silent Hill 2 Remake was so great that the game looks better than the cinematography of the original. This is really funny to me because it reminds me of when I was amazed by the cinematography of the 32-bit and 128-bit era and wondered when we would reach that level in a real game.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is also faithful in gameplay

This was one of the most criticized aspects and it is clear that those who complain about the rough gameplay of Silent Hill 2 Remake They never played an original in their lives, because the exact adoption of this type of game is necessary to bring the experience as close as possible to the original game. Changing it would change the gaming experience forever and maybe not for the better.

Silent Hill 2 was never an action game, It was “survival horror” with gameplay so clunky that it was actually part of the challenge of the game itself. A change would prevent keeping that almost 1:1 remake approach and would force the introduction of complicated and risky changes that might end up not being liked because they would violate the essence of the original.

Like I said, I really like what I see. Bloober Team I think he does a great job with this remake. Of course, we will have to see the level of optimization that the team achieves, as it uses Unreal Engine 5, a very demanding graphics engine that has shown itself to be able to push any current graphics card to the limit, including the powerful GeForce RTX 4090.

If you want to know if your computer will be able to move it, I invite you to check minimum and recommended requirements game we shared with you last year. Starting with a GeForce RTX 2080, GeForce RTX 4060, Radeon RX 7600 or equivalent will meet the recommended requirements.
