[Video] Upcoming Update for ‘Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition’ Looks to Fix Lingering Bugs, Replace Assets and More

Published

With Resident Evil 4 finally having its fan-made remaster complete and out in the wild, where does that leave Silent Hill 2‘s fan-made Enhanced Edition? Still chugging along with a new update, actually.

Wccftech reports that the collection of modding projects are gearing up for a future update that will further improve the look of the PC version, but also fix some lingering issues. The latest info can be found in a new project update video, which you can see below.

For one, rather than going through the tedious process of manually replacing files, the Enhanced Edition will soon have an installation wizard that will automate the entire process. As for the game itself, the next goal for the team is to fix lingering sound issues such as stuttering and repeating sounds, due to how Silent Hill 2 handles its audio files.

In addition, certain objects in the game will also receive 3D models, such as the 2D trees at the start of the game. This is all thanks to a newly-developed user tool by fan Phillip Trudeau that will also allow you to view the game’s models, if you were so curious.

To find out more about the project, you can either hit up the official site, or follow the project’s official Twitter account.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
