2024 was a big year for folk with a never-ending affinity towards all things survival-horror, largely due to the fact that the Silent Hill 2 Remake finally released. A game that, after its initial announcement, I was truly dreading. I love Silent Hill 2, so much, and for the longest time, all I ever really wanted was for the original trio of games to be ported to modern platforms exactly as they are. Nothing more, and nothing less. I, admittedly, did not trust Konami or Bloober Team to do it justice.
]]>Silent Hill 2 Remake is likely all but done with now apart from the potential odd patch with some fixes, so Bloober has already started working on its next project.
]]>You thought the Silent Hill 2 remake only had one hidden message? Think again, as players have found more.
]]>The Silent Hill 2 remake has been hiding a secret, and one that might be evidence towards a theory fans have held for years.
]]>If you've been playing EA Sports FC 25 and the Silent Hill 2 Remake over the past couple of months, an indie game looks like it could be right up your alley. It's called FEAR FA 98 and it's a "horror arcade soccer simulator" that's just launched a Kickstarter.
]]>UPDATE (25/10/24, 2:40 PM BST): Bloober Team has now addressed this Labyrinth "progression blocker" via a fresh hotfix, dubbed "Version 1.05", for the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
]]>Hey, it's the first big patch for the Silent Hill 2 Remake following its arrival in all of our lives a week and a bit ago. What's it do? Well, aims to help curb some of poor James' glitchy shenanigans, plus some other stuff.
]]>Renowned philosopher Sir Mixalot once reasoned that it's difficult to illicit desire in the event that you don't have buns, hun. It seems that a new mod for the Silent Hill 2 remake has taken that sentiment to heart and applied it to the game's most beguiling character.
]]>The Silent Hill 2 remake has plenty of puzzles for you to wrack your brain over, and the Vanity Mirror puzzle and suitcase code found in Lake View Hotel are no different. This puzzle is comprised of multiple parts that will ultimately reveal the suitcase code to you, and ultimately allow you to explore even more of the haunting hotel.
]]>The Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team has brought along all of the endings from the original 2001 game with it, but there are a couple of new endings for fans to seek out and unlock. These two new endings act as slight variations on the original endings for the game, and they’re definitely worth witnessing for yourself.
]]>As you explore Lake View Hotel during the Silent Hill 2 remake, there’s are some puzzles that can be easy to miss if you aren’t exploring every nook and cranny of the beautiful albeit daunting area. The Reading Room’s bookshelf puzzle is one of these puzzles, which tasks you with finding and arranging four books in a specific order.
]]>Silent Hill 2 has multiple endings for fans to figure out and discover, and the Silent Hill 2 remake is no different. All the endings from the original game are present, as well as some new endings from Bloober Team that players can look forward to finding.
]]>Following your first rendezvous with the woman that mysteriously looks like James’ wife, Maria, in Silent Hill 2, you’ll be led to South Vale’s motel, Jack’s Inn. In the reception office here, you’ll find a safe that requires a code and a note suggesting you visit one of the nearby rooms.
]]>Brookhaven Hospital in the Silent Hill 2 remake remains as terrifying as it has always been, but there are new puzzles and revamped combat for even the most experienced of fans to be pleasantly surprised by. Around this hospital, James is tasked with finding multiple bracelets that can be used to acquire a mysterious key from the Director’s Office.
]]>The Lake View Hotel in Silent Hill 2 is, frankly, a bit of respite after the terror of Toluca Prison and the Labyrinth. Of course, monstrosities still lurk here, but there’s no denying that the place is beautiful and somewhat serene in comparison to what you will have just faced. The Music Box puzzle here, and the tune it eventually plays, certainly add to that feeling.
]]>After fleeing the horrors of Brookhaven Hospital in the Silent Hill 2 remake, you’ll find yourself back in South Vale and eventually, at the Silent Hill Historical Society. After checking out all of the relics and paintings this building possesses, you’ll wind up going down a lengthy staircase and into a room full of bugs.
]]>As you explore Brookhaven Hospital in the Silent Hill 2 remake, you will be tasked with finding three different bracelets around the place before eventually solving the puzzle that is the Director’s Office safe code. This will require you to brush up on your knowledge of alchemical symbols, of all things.
]]>As you explore Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 2, which is renowned as one of the biggest and most important locations in the game, you’ll eventually reach the X-Ray Viewer puzzle on the third floor. This particular puzzle might not seem like much at first, but solving it is how you’ll get your hands on the D1 door code and be able to progress.
]]>Silent Hill 2 has a few endings for players to unlock, and one of the more fun, memorable endings that has been brought over from the original game is the Dog ending. This ending sees James find out that the terror he’s been facing has actually been the sick machinations of Mira the Dog, a sole Shiba Inu.
]]>One of the more terrifying areas of the Silent Hill 2 remake, Toluca Prison, gets scarier and scarier as you dive deeper into it. As you wrap up your time in the area, you’ll be expected to quite literally dive into the abyss as you solve the final puzzle here: the Toluca Prison Hangman puzzle.
]]>The Silent Hill 2 remake has a few different endings for eager players to unlock, and a few of these are exclusive to New Game Plus. One such ending that requires keen explorers to track down four specific items is the Rebirth ending, which sees James planning to engage in some sort of death-defying ritual.
]]>Silent Hill 2’s Brookhaven Hospital is a huge portion of the game packed with threats such as Bubble Head Nurses, Mannequins, and an array of locked doors and puzzling corridors. There are a few things you need to do here before moving on, and one of those things is finding the Nurse’s Station Keypad code.
]]>One of Silent Hill 2’s most iconic and memorable puzzles involves the Grandfather Clock and a poem about three people called Henry, Mildred, and Scott. These three people actually represent different hands of the Clock puzzle in Blue Creek Apartments, and once you get your hands on those, you’ll need to use the poem to work out their positions.
]]>Your first rendezvous with the Otherworld in the Silent Hill 2 remake is the Blue Creek Apartments, and here, you’ll have your work cut out for you as you strive to solve the iconic Grandfather Clock puzzle brought over from the original game. One portion of this involves figuring out the eerie Moth Room puzzle, though.
]]>Silent Hill 2 is renowned for its puzzles, and one of the first that you come across in East South Vale is the broken Jukebox in Neely’s Bar. Notes about an upset man and his broken record can be found scattered across the area, and if you pay attention to the Memo’s you have no doubt been collecting, you’ll be led on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to find different components needed to fix the thing.
]]>As you explore East South Vale in the Silent Hill 2 remake, you will find that the Grand Market is locked and inaccessible via its main entrance. If you make your way around the back of the building, however, you’ll find the Grand Market Keypad with no code in sight.
]]>As you wander around the Wood Side Apartments in the Silent Hill 2 remake, it won’t be too long before you find yourself trapped in the first dark room of many: Room 206. This room features a safe that requires a combination code to unlock, and you’ll need to unlock it if you wish to make your way out of this room.
]]>One of the first and most memorable puzzles of the Silent Hill 2 remake is the Coin Cabinet found in the Reception Office of Wood Side Apartments. While you can’t do much here to begin with, you will be able to collect three different coins from around the apartments that will aid you with solving the Coin Cabinet puzzle.
]]>As if there isn’t enough to be done in Brookhaven Hospital of the Silent Hill 2 remake as it is, you’ll also have some trivia to wrack your brain over as you venture into the basement of the Otherworld Hospital. Now, I hope you’ve been paying close attention to the various memos and other interactable items in the game, as that’s where your answers to the Trick or Treat elevator quiz will lie.
]]>If you're worried about whether the Silent Hill 2 remake might affect how you feel about the PS2 classic, the original director has this to say: don't be.
]]>The ranch sign in the original Silent Hill 2 is iconic for its tonally off use of Comic Sans, but the remake changed it - apart from where it didn't.
]]>If you've been on the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page recently and noticed the review scores seem a bit low, that's because someone's been tampering with them.
]]>Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 invites you into the town of Silent Hill all over again, twenty years later. A troubled James Sunderland is searching for his deceased wife, with the hope that she might be out there — alive — after receiving a letter from her encouraging him to come here. Now, anyone in their right mind would be questioning how James’ deceased wife could write a letter from beyond the grave, but James is clearly not in his right mind.
]]>Silent Hill 2 is renowned for a lot of reasons, and its multiple endings and their various ending conditions are one of those reasons. Back in 2001, it took a good while for people to actually figure out the math behind each ending, but it looks as though Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 endings are a little easier to crack this time around.
]]>You’re not done with Lake View Hotel in Silent Hill 2 just yet, and depending on how you feel about James’ journey so far, you may be overjoyed - or filled with dread - to hear this. While the Otherworld Hotel is dark and scary, it’s fortunately nothing compared to what you will have faced in the Labyrinth, so sit back and enjoy what’s to come.
]]>James Sunderland has been on quite the journey so far in Silent Hill 2, but we’re finally nearing a close. That said, we still have a few more things to do before James finally reaches some conclusion about all of the goings-on in Silent Hill, and we’ll be wrapping these up at the Lake View Hotel.
]]>After having fled the nightmarish Brookhaven Hospital in Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2, you’ll find that you’re back in South Vale again. This time, however, nighttime has come around and the place is much darker than before. There are new sinkholes blocking your path and plenty of enemies for you to try and avoid, too.
]]>If you thought that Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 2 was terrifying, you’re going to have your work cut out for you when it comes to exploring the Otherworld Hospital. Dilapidated, rusting, and full of foes, we’ll have a few more puzzles to solve here while not becoming food for Red Pyramid Thing.
]]>After having made your way through the likes of Rosewater Park, Moonlight Grove, and the Reverse Theater in Silent Hill 2, you will find yourself at the intimidatingly large Brookhaven Hospital in pursuit of Laura. If Silent Hill 2 hasn’t managed to scare you already, your time in Brookhaven Hospital and beyond will definitely manage to do so.
]]>You’ll have now made it through the Wood Side and Blue Creek Apartments in Silent Hill 2, and had your first meeting with the legendary Red Pyramid Thing, also known as Pyramid Head. Up next, you’ll be making your way through the scenic Rosewater Park and West South Vale, where there’s more puzzles to solve and secrets to unveil.
]]>At this point in Silent Hill 2, you will have explored the foggy East South Vale and made your way through the Wood Side Apartments, where you’ll have fended off Mannequins and more while finding all manner of keys and coins. The good and bad news is that there’s more of that to come, so keep your Wooden Plank close and prepare for more puzzles.
]]>You’ve ventured through East South Vale so far in Silent Hill 2, and had your first brush with danger in the form of Lying Figures - lots of them. Though, your journey through Silent Hill to seek out answers for James has only just begun. Before things start to get really perilous, we’ve the Wood Side Apartments to explore.
]]>James’ journey in Silent Hill 2 begins at the Observation Deck, where he eventually meanders into the foggy streets of South Vale, only to slowly uncover the bizarre goings-on in the town. James isn’t fazed by any of the strange occurrences or creatures he runs into though, with the only thing on his mind being his wife, Mary.
]]>The original Silent Hill 2 hid away many secrets in New Game Plus for the most keen-eyed of fans to find, and Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 is no different in that sense. Once you finally wrap up your first run of the game and conclude James’ journey, you’ll be able to do it all over again in New Game Plus to find new items, new endings, and more.
]]>If you thought Silent Hill 2’s Toluca Prison was bad, you’ve got your work cut out for you when it comes to the Labyrinth. This place doesn’t have a map to begin with. It’s one that James eventually, somehow, has to sketch up for himself, meaning it’s easy to get lost in the maze of hallways that the area consists of.
]]>After dealing with the horrifying Brookhaven Hospital and making your way to Silent Hill 2’s Historical Society, you’ll soon find yourself in Toluca Prison. This place is very dark and honestly, one of the more terrifying portions of the game, so brace yourself for what’s to come.
