In the end you’ll know what you went through and most of the confusing aspect will clear but not in a straightforward manner. The game wishes to confuse you or hide something which you (as James) are running away from. As a player you could tell them “you are not real, none of this makes sense” but it’s like James acknowledges their existence for a reason.Īll these story aspects should be carefully considered if you want to understand the game. They act as if they been living here but do not really belong making the whole picture very eerie. You’ll meet handful of characters along the way but they seem lost, confused, awkward or misplaced even or not caring much about where they are. The town feels weirdly abandoned, some streets are just impassable, cut off, it’s a labyrinth in which you slowly work out your way. In terms of design much of what you experience in Silent Hill could be classified as something taken out of nightmare, serving no purpose but to scare, confuse, intimidate. Something so simple as the first steps you take in the game – you go down the steps and downhill to reach the town as if you’re descending the well known allegory of a rabbit hole. It feels that every aspect of design was well thought through and relates to the story.
SILENT HILL 2 PC CANNOT LOAD FULL
It’s a really well written story, full of metaphors, symbolism and hidden meaning. In the introductory cutscene of the game James explains the caveat “Mary died of that damn disease three years ago”… As I’ve said it’s a bit of a cliché but everything after that is far from it. Story of the game starts out a bit cliché – James, a 29 year old, receives a handwritten letter from his wife in which she asks him to meet her in their “special place” which lies in a town of Silent Hill. Gorgeous screenshots printed in paperback gaming magazines certainly drew crowds but it wasn’t the only impressive feature. In words of Digital Foundry the game presented “a host of impressive visual effects quite unlike anything available at the time”.
When the game was first presented back in the early 2001 visually it was ahead of it’s time. Original Silent Hill 2 is a perfected horror game in a design and a creative sense. Let me tell you now – Silent Hill 2 wasn’t the same game on PC. 21 October, 2022 – RafalM GP Team Silent Hill 2 finally coming to PC in its full glory with a Teaser TrailerĪs a fan of horror games genre I can’t stress enough how hyped I am for the fact that KONAMI decided to remake Silent Hill 2 and on top of that tasked BLOOBER TEAM (Layers of Fear, Medium, Blair Witch) with making it.
