Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is finally complete and looks amazing

A beautiful nether realm between the original and the remake.

The final version of Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is now out. Not to be confused with the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 by Bloober team, this is a fan-maꦦde mod that provides fans and newcomers alike with the definitive way of enjoying this moder🐟n classic in modern systems.

If you were to look at the Silent Hill HD Collection that Konami brashly put out back in 2012, you’d think that the subject of Silent Hill remasters was even more cursed than the town itsel♑f. As it turns out, the curse is bogus and the town is totally a special place worth visit𝐆ing if the navigation is put in the right hands.

This remaster diligently makes all the enhancements you’d expect out of a proper HD treatment. There’s HD support, HD textures, improved lighting, shadows, fog, but it takes things further. It completely replaces some textures, and remodels some graphical elements from the original. Very importantly, it even fixes the rare problems that existed in the original solely because of its PlayStation 2 game DNA.

If you already own a copy of the original Silent Hill 2 for PC, all you need to do is head to download and learn the simple installation steps to get the Enhanced Version to blow your mind.

Bloober Team asks . I, while not a fan of the studio, will do so while saluting Bloober’s bravery in undertaking such a gargantuan task. However, the coin is still spinning on that one, whereas this remaster is already a superior version of one of the most mesmerizing games in history.

I ask fans — and newcomers — to give this one a try. The team behind Enhanced Edition is aware that despite this awesome coat of paint, SH2 remains a gꦿame of its time. So, they also made this video to make everyone new to this world up to sp🦋eed:

If you’re having a hard time waiting for October 8th when the Silent Hill 2 remake comes out, then൲ this is a great way to pass that time.
