SH2 remake released on the 8th of October last year with a 1 year console exclusive period per the pre-release marketing.

We're about to reach the end of that exclusivity period.

Nice. We might actually get that long-rumored Born From a Wish DLC as well. If not now, probably never.

P.S. Silent Hill f sucks dick lmao.

 

[Killer8]

Multiplat release + Pro patch + Born from a Wish as DLC let's gooooo.

I wish... I want to replay it but i dont want to double dip on pc so a proper pro patch would be cool. Dont see it happening tho.

 

[March Climber]

I hope they call the ported version Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams.

 

[Bridges]

I'll definitely pick it up on Xbox if this is true

I'd like to see what they could pull off on Switch 2. Cronos fared pretty well

Cronos fared well cause the game is 90% dark as shit.

Granted SH2 is also obscured by fog 90% of the time but I gotta imagine it's gonna be a bit more taxing.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Everyones begging to get on Xbox

 

[Liopleurodon]

Send Silent Hill everywhere.

 

[RoboFu]

Meh looks dumb .. not silent hill at all.

 

[Darsxx82]

Good if

 

[Mr Hyde]

Port it to PS2 for that classic retro feel.

lol, not sure that's how it works but it'll be interesting to see the results, regardless.

 

[NeverYouMind]

From a technical standpoint I would love to see Switch 2 handling an Unreal Engine 5 game like Silent Hill 2 Remake.

 

[adamsapple]

lol, not sure that's how it works but it'll be interesting to see the results, regardless.

I guess it's my roundabout way of saying that SH2 feels like a more technically ambitious game than Cronos does.

It looks like they are using it to centre the Steam/PS images.

I don't believe so in this case, though it wouldn't surprise me if they are coming out soon-ish on other platforms.
I'll have a quick snoop at the source.

Bloober, STFU and fix the PS5 Pro version first.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I still need to start it on the PS5.

 

[Punished Miku]

Make it Play Anywhere and I'm in. Not usually into remakes but SH f was great so I'd like to keep supporting Konami on these.

While the coding is a bit different (it had extra class today "website-component-block" which is used in a few other elements), it's doing the exact same thing (positioning for the Steam/PS images).

That's the new SH f. This (SH2 Remake) has been PS5 console exclusive so far.

 

[Gitaroo]

Dream they would port it to a newer version of UE5 but doubtful since they still use 5.3 for Cronos

 

[Nocty]

Good. Plat exclusives in 2025 is crazy work.

 

[Kacho]

Dying to see how well it runs on both platforms. Will likely double dip on the Switch version for the novelty.

 

[ZehDon]

Keen to play through this on my Xbox!

 

[Deerock71]

All over a Switch 2 port. On Steam Deck it sucked ass, but I got through a good chunk of it on there.

 

[kevboard]

if it comes to switch 2, that would imply they added baked GI, since Lumen currently isn't really feasible on the system.

which then begs the question... Will they add a Lumen-off setting to PC? that could make the game finally look good and run well.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I have psychic powers, I had posted that it would be great to bring Silent Hill 2 to Switch 2....

Only the bad thing will be those Keycards that will be put in.

Or UE5 can get an updated to support the RT cores of the Switch 2.

Judging by PC performance, SH 2 is WAY more taxing than Cronos

PC Cronos can be emulated on cellphones at playable speeds. SH 2 craws.

hardware lumen runs even worse tho. there's a reason the vast majority of UE5 games use software lumen on console... even on PS5 Pro.

Nvidia vs AMD RT cores. Also i think the game is designed around RT, a baked solution could make the file size massive and a lot of work for just one platform, but whatever solution they take going to be interesting thats for sure.

they did make a baked GI fallback for their new game tho, possibly for the exact reason that they were making a Switch 2 version.

 

[Arsic]

This is a good thing because if that happens it means Bloober gets additional development funds to hopefully add the long needed ps5 pro patch.
