Bloober's remake of Konami's Silent Hill 2 is shaping up to an excellent horror game, not least for how it forms a dialogue with the 2001 original..
From the article:
On the whole, Bloober’s Silent Hill 2 sometimes seems more… visually led than it should. There’s an innocent airiness and spaciousness to it, for all the shadows and grime, with puddles that grandly reflect the clouds and sumptuously imagined interiors that speak to an antiquated fixation with extravagant lighting effects and photorealistic fine-detailing for its own sake.
I was super excited for this game until I heard about the free cam… Really hoping it’s something that can be turned off. A core piece of the original horror was hearing something coming but not being able to see it.
I don’t know if I can agree - there’s enough friction just in being able to explore the world from workings like that, I don’t blame them for changing it. At best it can feel cheap. There’s still plenty of ways to apply vulnerability of the unseen.
