Ever since Silent Hill 2 Remake was announced, fans have been rather difficult to please. Taking one of the best horror games ever made and remaking it to modern standards was always going to be a tough job for any developers brave enough to take it on, but Bloober Team has struggled to impress with trailers and pre-release footage.
New Silent Hill 2 Remake Rating in the US Hints at New Explicit Scenes

POSSIBLE SPOILERS! The upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake has been rated by the ERSB, and the rating's description might hint at some new explicit scenes.
Recently, Bloober Team's upcoming remake received a rating from South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC). In addition, the remake received updates on the backend of its Steam page, hinting at an imminent release. Fast forward two weeks, and we now have a US rating by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Not only does this fuel the hype of an imminent release, but the description of the rating itself might also contain some interesting details about the remake. One of the interesting tidbits from the description is the inclusion of, what appears to be, new explicit scenes that weren't present in the original 2001 game. We've included a part of the ESRB description below. Please note that this description might contain SPOILERS! We've also included a screenshot in case the ESRB edits the description:

"Cutscenes and illustrations depict further instances of violence and/or blood and gore: characters impaled; a character suffocated to death with a pillow; enemies with body parts sewn together. The game contains some suggestive/sexual material: characters pole-dancing in strip-club settings; posters of women in revealing outfits (e.g., bra and thong, deep cleavage); dialogue alluding to sexuality and/or sexual abuse/misconduct (e.g., “Remember that time in the hotel? You said you took everything. But you forgot that videotape we made”; “Don't touch me...You're only after one thing…Or you could just force me, like he always did.”)"
The Silent Hill 2 Remake is powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5 and will be released for PC and PlayStation 5. Back in February of this year, a developer of the Remake's development team sort of trashed the trailer that publisher Konami released for the game, saying the trailer doesn't reflect the spirit of the game.
An exact release date has yet to be revealed. We'll update you as soon as we learn more about Silent Hill 2 Remake.

As Helldivers 2 fans call for bug fixes over new content, director apologizes "for the sloppy mistakes we've made as of recent" and knows "we can do better as a studio"
Helldivers 2's popularity is still sky-high, but more and more demands have been flooding in lately for developer Arrowhead to put a greater focus on squashing bugs rather than adding new content, something which the devs have pointed out isn't exactly straightforward. It's rather ironic, really, given the game's massive focus on killing democracy-hating bugs.
