Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill. There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her…
“My name…is Maria,” the woman smiles. Her face, her voice… She’s just like her.

Larger Environments

Enjoy the same acclaimed story, even while you experience the town of Silent Hill with fresh eyes across an expanded map.
Over-the-Shoulder Camera
The remake moves from the original’s fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience as you explore the town and come face-to-face with monsters.
Evolved Combat Gameplay
Familiar weapons like the steel pipe and handgun make their return, but now with an updated combat system. Avoid attacks with carefully timed dodges, aim down sights, and more, making monster encounters more engaging and nerve-wracking then ever.

Game is worth it and more! Quickly becoming one of my favorite remakes ever.
Goty contender for me. Absolutely stunning. I have like 2 to 3 hours left on my first playthrough and I cannot praise this remake enough. A true miracle.
Is Komani back? Or is this going to be a one off fluke?
Maybe, recently they released Cygni (a good game in my opinion) and they have metal gear solid 3 remake and suikuden I&2 remaster.
Hard to say. Konami has primarily only been doing remakes, remasters, and collections. With literally a collection, remake, and remaster set for next year already xD Cygni released in July and was a huge disappointment. Pretty visuals and overall fun combat, but not much more than that. I'm optimistic for Konami though!
If I had more gaming time. But the backlog is larger than life as is. Hopefully the sales of this remake is start of a renaissance.
