Silent Hill 2 Remake Alleged Screenshots Surface Online

(CTN News) _ There have been rumors regarding a revival of the Silent Hill series for some time. According to some of these rumors, Silent Hill 2 would be remade, a game that has been hailed as a cult classic by Survival Horror fans.

Apparently, these rumors might have some substance behind them thanks to a new set of screenshots that have appeared on Twitter that appear to support them.

A Twitter user named @alej135 was one of the first to post these images. Unfortunately, this account has protected its tweets at the time of writing, so we are unable to determine if they are still available.

It should be noted, however, that these images were reposted by @the_marmolade… Here it is in all of its low-resolution glory. Below is a list of them:

Over-the-shoulder shots of James Sunderland exploring various environments are shown above.

Several of these screenshots show him holding a weapon, and one shows him about to engage in combat with a nurse from Alchemilla Hospital.

According to the Twitter user, the developers of the game are Bloober Team, as well. We have talked about their involvement with the franchise before, of course.

A year ago, the company entered into a strategic partnership with Konami to provide the company with content development expertise.

Immediately following the announcement of this partnership, it was assumed that Silent Hill would be the primary focus of the partnership.

If these screenshots have any credence.

The upcoming project by Bloober Team is a Silent Hill 2 remake that offers a new perspective on the combat mechanics (Silent Hill 2 primarily had pre-established camera angles as opposed to an over-the-shoulder perspective), and updated visuals to match current-day gaming advances.

This is all speculation, and while these screenshots appear to be realistic, there is a high probability that they have been modified.

Therefore, we recommend that you take these rumors with a grain of salt and treat them as rumor.

How scary is Silent Hill 2?

There are no jump scares in this game, and it still manages to be terrifying. You arrive at this town and immediately become acquainted with the looming fog. It’s a visual effect that makes it feel like you have cataracts. It tricks your eyes into crossing and losing focus until you don’t know where you are.
