Silent Hill 2 Will Push Your PC to Its Limits
Konami has revealed the system requirements for its newly announced Silent Hill 2 Remake, and running all the recreated horror goodness is going to require a hefty PC setup.
As reported by PC Gamer, Silent Hill 2 Remake's Steam page has revealed the recommended system specs demand a GeForce RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon 6800XT graphics card, as well as an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X equivalent processor with 16GB of RAM.

It's also coming to PlayStation 5, where Konami has promised "seamless" gameplay with no loading screens, though this will likely be a PC feature as well and perhaps one reason for its particularly demanding system requirements.
