As the gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of the Silent Hill 2 remake by Konami and Bloober Team, discussions have been rampant on social media regarding the character models in the upcoming game. The remake, set to launch on October 8, 2024, for PS5 and PC, promises a visually stunning experience with significant graphical improvements over the original PS2 version.
One of the key points of contention among fans has been the character models in the remake. Social media platforms have been flooded with negative sentiments towards the updated appearances of beloved characters such as James, Angela, Laura, and Maria. Bloober Team's artistic interpretation has resulted in differences in character appearances, leading to a heated debate among fans.
