If you’re worried about whether the Silent Hill 2 remake might affect how you feel about the PS2 classic, the original director has this to say: don’t be.
Some people might say that a remake replaces the original, others might say the same thing but negatively, but if you were to ask the director of the PS2 original version of Silent Hill 2, he’d tell you that the quality of the remake won’t do anything to the original.
The thing about remakes, particularly when it comes to games as beloved as Silent Hill 2, is that the conversation can be muddied around the original version.
It seems like they’re not doing enough to convey the appeal of the work to the generation that doesn’t know Silent Hill.”
