First 90 Minutes of Silent Hill 2 Remake Appear Online
The first 90 minutes of Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake have appeared online ahead of its October 8, 2024 release date.
The 2BRO YouTube channel streamed Silent Hill 2 from the beginning as part of a paid promotion with publisher Konami, meaning that unlike most early gameplay reveals, this one won't be taken down for copyright infringements.
While the commentary is in Japanese the gameplay itself is in English, and introduces protagonist James Sunderland as he comes across the ever so spooky town of Silent Hill and all the nastiness one would expect from a survival horror title.
Those looking forward to the remake can therefore check out the gameplay, though should be warned that, as there isn't any branching paths in the game's opening, it is also full of spoilers. The first 90 minutes will cover just under 10% of Silent Hill 2 according to Bloober Team's own estimates, as it said players could complete it in "around 16 to 18 hours."
This increase over the original's length will account for myriad gameplay changes but apparently nothing in the story department, as Bloober Team has been adamant about not changing any plot points of the original game.
