Latest Update to ‘Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition’ Adds More Fixes, Restorations
A few years back, we touched on the fan-made enhancement mod for Konami’s classic Silent Hill 2 for the PC. On top of fixing lingering bugs, Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition revamped the graphics and textures to give the almost two-decade old game the loving restoration it deserved. The creators behind the project have now posted a new update video showing off the latest achievements in the project.
There’s a surprising amount of goodies added to this update, most notably soft shadows, self shadows, controller support (including rumble support), restoring post-processing effects and more. You can keep up with the project on Twitter, or visit the project’s official site. In order to actually use this mod, you’ll need a copy of either the North American or European “Director’s Cut” of Silent Hill 2 on PC, as well as a few other mods. The issue of getting an actual copy of the game on PC might be difficult for some, but it’s definitely worth it.
🎉 AND WE ARE LIVE! 🥂
Update Release #4 is now available for the Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition project!
