A fan's video has shown what a Silent Hill 3 remake could look like if it were made in Unreal Engine 5. The powerful game engine is available to the public, and is often used for both brand new projects as well as demonstrating what a game like Silent Hill 3 could look like in modern times.
Fans think Silent Hill 2 Remake's James has had a facelift

Bloober Team has seemingly amended the face of James Sunderland in its highly-anticipated Silent Hill 2 Remake.
The switch came to light via an updated icon on SteamDB, leading some fans to speculate that the studio revised James' face in response to community feedback.
Silent Hill 2 — Teaser Trailer | PS5 Games Silent Hill 2 — Teaser Trailer | PS5 Games.Watch on YouTubeWhilst it's not been confirmed by Bloober itself – or been replicated on any other of the game's storefront assets or screenshots – James' haggard, grief-soaked face has been smoothed out to make for a less tense, more youthful, look.

That said, given we've seen several iterations of Sunderland since the game was first announced – even before it was announced, actually – it's hard to say if this is definitive proof of a change of direction or just a pre-existing asset.
The facial model of the James we see in just the reveal teaser alone feels a tad inconsistent, with his face, hair, and hair colour changing several times throughout the course of the three-minute trailer.

Either way, though, going on comments on social media, most fans seem happy with the revised version. Here's hoping we'll see more of Silent Hill 2 Remake – and James' face – at the next PlayStation State of Play event.
Silent Hill 2 – one of gaming's worst-kept secrets before it was formally revealed back in October 2022 – has been rated in Korea. It was given a mature rating due to, as translated by Google, «excessive violence, excessive blood from hitting and being hit (and there is physical damage such as creatures being separated)», and excessive depictions that some may find fearful and/or disgusting, including «creatures with strangely formed limbs» – a Silent Hill staple, of course.
We can only hope Silent Hill 2 doesn't follow the same pattern as Silent Hill: The Short Message. That similarly first popped up on the Korean ratings board, although it took two years for that game to move from rating to release.

Silent Hill 2 Remake “Release Date and Platforms” To be Revealed in the Near Future
When are we finally going to get a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake? The game is widely expected to launch sometime in 2024, but PR from Konami has been spotty at best. We got a somewhat-questionable trailer back in February (that even developer Bloober Team criticized as not representative of the final game) and as we head deeper into the year, there’s still a lot to be nailed down. The game’s been rated by the ESRB and there are rumors it may pop up at a PlayStation Showcase next month, but Konami themselves have remained silent.
