A classic of retro horror gaming, Silent Hill 2 is beloved by many, but one fan has put out a call to find someone that will join them and provide moral support while they play through the terrifying experience. As the Silent Hill 2 remake is nearing completion, many fans are taking the time to go back and enjoy the original game. However, the horrors of Silent Hill 2 have proven overwhelming for some, requiring the power of friendship to help alleviate some of the scariness.

Bloober Team's CEO has said he understands the critism around the recent Silent Hill 2 Remake trailer, which didn't «capture the spirit of the game».
The trailer in question was a combat-focused marketing beat by publisher Konami, and as Matt said at the time, combat is not exactly the first thing you think of when you think of Silent Hill 2. It probably isn't even the second or third. And yet, this was what Konami decided to hone in on during PlayStation's recent State of Play.
However, reactions afterwards weren't exactly enthusiastic. «The nurse vaulting over the wall like it's a tactical shooter is hilarious,» one comment under the original trailer reads. Another remarked the game looks more like it's from 2014, than 2024. Others said it looked more like a fan-made remake.

In an interview with inwestorzy.tv — as reported by Eurogamer Poland — Babieno said Bloober is not responsible for the game's marketing. That side of things is handled by Konami, the exec said, while stating the recent combat trailer did not «capture the spirit of the game».
«It's not the spirit of what used to be, or what we're creating now,» he said. Babieno added the studio is working to «fully capture this romantic vision of a game that debuted 22 years ago», and that when players see real gameplay and «a real game» they will «judge it in a completely different way.»
This is not the first time Bloober has taken a shot at Konami. Late last year, the studio suggested the prolonged silence on Silent Hill 2 Remake's status was the publisher's fault, stating: «Communication is definitely part of their job.» At this time, the developer assured fans that its Silent Hill 2 remake was «progressing smoothly».
We still don't have a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake, however a PlayStation Blog post from January suggested the game was aiming to launch in 2024.

AI's Silent Hill 1 Remake Proves Artificial Intelligence Has A Long Way To Go
Artificial intelligence can seem like an interesting tool for upscaling classic games, but if there's anything that some samples with the original prove, it's that the technology still has some serious limitations. AI has recently been a hot-button issues, with a lot of legitimate concerns about corporations replacing the artistic efforts and livelihoods of real people with comparatively soulless and low-quality AI content.

The Silent Hill 2 remake's State of Play combat trailer doesn't give a full and proper representation of the game, Bloober Team's president Piotr Babieno has observed in an apparent swipe at publisher Konami, who Babieno portrays as responsible for the upcoming horror game's marketing. If you missed it, the trailer in question focuses on the "modernised" combat.
