Silent Hill 2 Remake developer Bloober Team has revealed that it is including the option to turn off the UI in the game, as well as apply a 90s filter.
The filter, curiously named since Silent Hill 2 actually came out in 2001 and wasn’t a 90s game, applies a grain effect, colour correction and screen adjustments to give it an old-school flavour. The original Silent Hill 2 naturally was quite grainy and had a bit of a washed out look to its visuals, so being able to replicate this is a nice bonus especially for fans of the PS2 version.

Silent Hill 2 follows James Sunderland as he ventures to the foggy town after receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, who died of a mysterious illness some years before. Upon arriving in town, James finds only a handful of people and the town inhabited by grotesque monsters; however, he is soon thrust into a horrific nightmare that explores the very depths of his subconscious mind.
Recently it was confirmed that an average first playthrough for Silent Hill 2 Remake will take about 16-18 hours, which is around double that of the original game. If you want to discover everything the game has to offer, then you can expect to put around 20 hours into the game.
Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 Remake launches on October 8, 2024 for PS5 and PC.
