Whispers and footsteps surround you, but no one is there. The building then starts to decompose. Monsters start to appear and the music gets louder, making you run for your life; you try to exit the building as soon as possible. You exit the building, but the thick fog limits your vision, making you feel uneasy."
Silent Hill 2 remake will be exclusive to the PS5 until October 8, 2025, so don't expect an Xbox port or announcement it expires.
why does it feel like we are living in the early 00's again? Sony paying for either full exclusivity or timed was the thing back in the day... and its been 'remastered' for this generation.
The original SH2 was PS2-exclusive for only a few months. Remastered version is exclusive for over a year lol.
But both companies played the timed exclusives game for so long so it’s no surprise.
Sony is the king of paying for exclusives. Anytime Xbox does it Sony fans go berserk. But when the shoes on the other foot they flop like a fish out of water.
@rlow
Stop acting like one camp is better than the other. Both sides have rabid fans that go crazy over silly stuff. Many gamers have common sense and are even-keeled. Which category do you fall into?
Two fold publishers look at the loss in sales due to exclusivity and given how little Xbox sells in general Sony's generally able to get a greenlight for this behaviour if they fund it.
Microsoft think buying punishers is acceptable but they dug a huge financial hole as a result
Nintendo is just Nintendo and don't care
Oh Nintendo didn't pay for timed exclusivity for Monster Hunter Rise, SMTV, octopath, etc...? As usual it's
only a "behaviour" for Sony.
Yeah it's not like Xbox paid for exclusivity for games like Ark 2, Stalker 2, Warhammer Darktide or anything like that right? Oh wait.....
Just because that's the announced end doesn't guarantee it will be coming to xbox at that point or ever to be honest.
And even if it does it'll be an inferior version without the haptics and the Tempest audio which I expect will be a huge part in setting the mood in a game like this.

Whatever makes you sleep at night. Silent Hill will be release on both PC and PS5 and yet Konami made sure and let everyone know that their game is a timed-exclusive to Playstation. The Switch 2 and it´s PS4-level hardware won´t be able to handle it, so yeah, it´s definitely coming to Xbox.

Who cares for Tempest when we have Dolby Atmos? And haptics? Please. There isn´t a single haptics implementation for games that comes near to Astrobot´s.
So yeah, I´m cool getting the best definitive version on Xbox Series X.

Have you played Returnal?

You mean PC and PS5 Pro. The Series S will prevent it from being the definitive version 😂

"You mean PC and PS5 Pro. The Series S will prevent it from being the definitive version 😂"
We´ll see. The S is not preventing S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 from being excellent on Xbox Series X running at 60fps according to DF, despite the fact that it can barely handle that game a stable 30fps at the moment.

"Have you played Returnal?"
No. Why? It´s better than Astrobot?
Explore Silent Hill and immerse yourself in psychological horror like never before.
SILENT HILL 2 is available October 8, 2024 on PS5.
I try to do that for all games. I’ve played this game years ago but only have seen a short snippet of gameplay for the remake. I’m going to wait and play it on the Pro so I’ll have to avoid reviews and such for a month
Mark my words, the 3d Spatial Audio will be best in class I reckon on this. They showed they were up to the task with Blair Witch. I think this will beat Returnal.
Konami has mentioned that they have replaced and remapped enemies to new locations to give players aa "fresh take on combat."
Shouldn't y'all have remade the first then? Or is series like MGS and 2 canonically the first game?
Ahh, then I guess we'll be seeing those 2 next. Hopefully they do a bit more than with each new remake. Hopefully they reconsider bringing Silent Hills back to life too.
You never know! Guessing they’ll wanna see the receipts first for this one. I’m down for a Silent Hill resurgence!
Silent Hill creeped the hell out of me. I never played it, but I watched a few friends play through 2 and 3, and it always made me feel uncomfortable.
This was a nice overview! I never played Silent Hill either just because it scared me too much. I've seen the nurses and Pyramid Head and knew right away I wouldn't be able to sleep if I played it. haha I'm a wimp. :( I guess I'll just blame it on my overly active imagination.
Silent Hill 1 was one of the best games ever made: period. 2 was technically a "better" game, but 1 was just utterly revolutionary.
