The final version of Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is now out. Not to be confused with the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 by Bloober team, this is a fan-made mod that provides fans and newcomers alike with the definitive way of enjoying this modern classic in modern systems. https://twitter.com/WhereAllBegins/status/1829600147036344667 If you were to look at the Silent Hill HD Collection that Konami brashly put out back in 2012, you'd think that the subject of Silent Hill remasters was even more cursed than the town itself. As it turns out, the curse is bogus and the town is totally a special place worth visiting if the navigation is put in the right hands. This remaster diligently makes all the enhancements you'd expect out of a proper HD treatment. There's HD support, HD textures, improved lighting, shadows, fog, but it takes things further. It completely replaces some textures, and remodels some graphical elements from the original. Very importantly, it even fixes the rare problems that existed in the original solely because of its PlayStation 2 game DNA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX2GpqHxIJ0 If you already own a copy of the original Silent Hill 2 for PC, all you need to do is head here to download and learn the simple installation steps to get the Enhanced Version to blow your mind. Bloober Team asks fans to give the studio a chance with their remake of Silent Hill 2. I, while not a fan of the studio, will do so while saluting Bloober's bravery in undertaking such a gargantuan task. However, the coin is still spinning on that one, whereas this remaster is already a superior version of one of the most mesmerizing games in history.

The team behind Enhanced Edition is aware that despite this awesome coat of paint, SH2 remains a game of its time. So, they also made this video to make everyone new to this world up to speed: https://youtu.be/MzXzxzRFMEo If you're having a hard time waiting for October 8th when the Silent Hill 2 remake comes out, then this is a great way to pass that time.
