The first hour of the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team has been posted online, allowing those interested to watch fresh footage from the very start of the game through until the new jukebox puzzle in the town itself. Streamed by the Japanese YouTuber 2Bro, you can catch the full video above. The game actually begins around the 14-minute mark, so feel free to skip ahead for around 80 minutes of footage.
To be clear, this initial stretch of the game formed part of the PS5 demo that out recent Silent Hill 2 Preview is based on. We were able to go deeper into the survival horror experience, touring the Wood Side Apartments. This in-depth look at least gives you the chance to see how the journey into Silent Hill has been expanded, like the sawmill.
"From the famous bathroom scene to the graveyard and then into Silent Hill itself, the PS5 remake commits to the broad strokes of how protagonist James Sunderland makes his way into town, but then deviates from set expectations in the right way: it adds and expands rather than taking anything away," we explained last month. You'll also get to see some combat, other shops not yet depicted in trailers, and a few of the strange masks (like Pyramid Head) that have been put in the PS5 remake.
"While the remake has always been near the top of our most anticipated list for 2024, there were doubts it would come together correctly. Those have been comprehensively addressed by our preview session. Silent Hill 2 plays like a worthy, respectful remake of the PS2 classic, and that alone places it in the upper echelons of the industry. We just have to see the entire thing before we can commit to banging that drum," we concluded.

Argos UK have the Astro Bot controller in stock for collection, just thought if anyone missed out.
It’s looks like a ps3/ps4 game
@KillerBoy Complete nonsense. I get you're not interested in the game, but why lie?
@OldGamer999 It's in stock at tons of places online. I absolutely love the game thus far, but the controller is kinda ugly imo. It's just a white controller with blue accents and two fugly round circles on the touchpad that are supposed to be his eyes. The all white will get dirty fast too.
Ohhh I like what I'm seeing! If it reviews well I'll definitely pick it up day one.
Not gonna watch a single second of this. I will play it when out.
@KillerBoy "It’s looks like a ps3/ps4 game"
Ironic really as your comment makes you sound about 3/4 years old
It might just be the video, but the weapon sound could do with more of a thud, and James (particularly his clothing) looks a bit wooden and stiff. It looks good and faithful though.
@Loamy Steven Seagal is still alive 🤣
@IamJT i thought id missed something too when i read that comment 🤣
It looks better for sure
I’m not watching an hour of a ten hour game. Lol. I do hope Silent Hill reviews well. I’m holding out on purchasing it because I’ve got trepidations with Bloober Team, but I’m hoping for something wonderful.
@KillerBoy Back to youtube with comments like that ya fanny.
I've wanted to be optimistic about this for some time. It looks like it's about as good as I expected it to be, which is great. My concern is performance and other technical issues. If it all runs smoothly, I'm looking forward to it.
The last of us silent hills mod?!

Nostalgia factor will be high with this one. I’ll be getting it just to see how things should have looked I mean back then 3D environs were still in the Roblox era, non too flattering when you revisit that stuff rofl
Gonna wait to play it instead of watching the gameplay, won’t be till a few months or so after release though.
Not SH related but I’m looking forward to seeing something new on the Snake Eater remake
Not watching video as I want to experience it for myself,
It really doesn’t look that great
Oh dang...I wanna watch but also don't. Playing through the OG now on my channel...
@Loamy there is a video of Segal doing a martial arts display for Putin and its one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The folks he is 'fighting' have clearly been told to sell his moves, and it's glorious. He's just bumbling round while these chaps are hurling themselves off the slightest touch.
Leon looks weird in this
@BloodyBlact yet you here on the post
@Styledvinny79 stop popping Molly's
@SamMR are you 10 with that dumb joke? And looks nothing like leon
