Silent Hill 2's remake is authentic and compelling - but technical problems need addressing
Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake - the Digital Foundry review.
The good news is that the Silent Hill 2 Remake- released on PlayStation 5 and PC - does capture the essence, the atmosphere of Konami's survival horror, all while making smart upgrades to its design. We're focusing on PlayStation 5 today with PC coverage to follow but the fact of the matter is - and despite my praise for Bloober's overall re-telling of Silent Hill 2's story - the remake's use of Unreal Engine 5 technology has pros and cons. It's also clear that original developer, Team Silent, truly relied on those pre-rendered cinematics for any up-close facial expressions, while in-engine scenes - using simplified character models and basic lip flap movements - worked better for wider angle shots.
