Product Information

Throughout the game, James collects maps, which can only be read if there is sufficient light or when his flashlight is on. In 2006, Konami re-released Silent Hill 2 with its indirect PS2 sequels, Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill 4: The Room, in a bundle entitled The Silent Hill Collection in Europe and Japan. Allen Rausch of GameSpy considered the PC port overall to be "[a] fantastic translation of Konami's stylish and scary survival-horror game".

They developed a one-room prototype demo using the lead character and assets from Silent Hill 2 before the game was cancelled. It also became available on the PlayStation Network for Europe and the United Kingdom on 28 April 2014. The town draws upon the psyche of its visitors and ultimately forms alternative versions of itself, which differ depending on the character. IGN 's Doug Perry wrote: "It's frightening, deep, clever, and tries to improve the genre, if just a little, and in the end, that's all I really want in a survival horror game. In 2009, IGN listed it as one of the five best horror video games created after 2000, [89] and one of the twelve greatest PlayStation 2 games of all time.Development [ edit ] Influences and design [ edit ] "Bubble Head Nurses" (pictured) and "Mannequins" (creatures composed of only two pairs of female legs) were designed to be sexually suggestive, and a reflection of James' subconscious sexual desires during Mary's hospitalization.

Before Climax Studios started working on what would later become Silent Hill: Origins, they had originally pitched a different game idea to Konami in 2006. Alex discovers upon his arrival that his father has gone missing, his mother has become catatonic, and no one can provide the whereabouts of his younger brother, Joshua.

Rumours persisted into 2009, [33] and were seemingly confirmed in February when the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) re-rated the original game. It was released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows and it also marked the end of Team Silent's contributions to the series. In editions which include " Born From A Wish", the original storyline is titled " Letter From Silent Heaven". James Sunderland (Guy Cihi) comes to Silent Hill after apparently receiving a letter from his wife Mary (Monica Taylor Horgan), who had been suffering from an illness and died three years before.

Data for the character animation was taken through motion capture, and using Softimage, they animated the characters.

Development costs for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and their gamers' "mindset" factored into the decision for the gaming platform.
