"Being handed a classic and beloved game that many see as the pinnacle of its genre is already a daunting task, but when that game also happens to be part of a franchise that has laid mostly dormant for over a decade and even then was only through maligned remasters given some life, it puts the challenge even further. Combine this with a shaky track record at Bloober Team and fan perception is going to be at its most critical and with a game like Silent Hill 2 being the one given the remake treatment, it is going to be impossible to please everyone. So, with fans at their most critical despite horror remakes being the recent trend and Silent Hill 2 being seen as the pinnacle of psychological horror, has this team managed to find success and at least please most with Silent Hill 2 Remake?"
Konami has announced Silent Hill 2 remake has surpassed five million players worldwide as of January 31, 2026. The figure includes the number of physical and digital units sold, as well as the number of players in subscription services.
A new analysis finds Silent Hill 2 Remake runs more consistently on Xbox Series X than on PS5, despite higher resolution on Sony hardware.
Well, the Xbox series X is not a bad machine at all. Its everything surrounding it from the support to the marketing that is garbage. Its too bad, because sony has shown themselves to be quite anticonsumer when they dont have real competition. Unfortunately Microsoft shits on their own balls every 5 minutes. Nintendo plays their own game so is not real competition. Maybe the steam machines will keep Sony on their toes, but I doubt it. Again, thats a different target audience.
The next gen xbox will be more than enough competition . All Sony did this gen was sell more consoles which was gonna happen regardless. The support, features and games are unmatched imo. Ps5 and ps5 pro still dont have features the series x has had since launch. As far as support i disagree. It has massive support and Microsoft games output has been superior this gen. But hey, I'm biased because I prefer the xbox. Just as you are biased for playstation.
Xbox is competition?🤣🤣 🤣🤣
It’s over man.
It’s PlayStation, steam machine and Nintendo.
Bye Xbox it was fun but steam machine is here to replace you
The dualsense? VR? Better and cheaper storage options?
You make it sound like the Xbox can do everything better, even the features that it doesn't have. To me, the dualsense is the most next gen feature about the current gen consoles. Quick resume is cool but it only saves you a few seconds while the dualsense makes entire games more immersive.
Better game output? You mean the multiplatform studios they acquired because nobody gives a shit about their original IPs anymore? Its not like it matters anyway, Xbox no longer has any exclusives.
All Sony did all generation was dominated Xbox. You can be a biased idiot, but, facts are facts. Playstation had more of everything overall, VR, more variety of games, better exclusives and controller too
“ Ps5 and ps5 pro still dont have features the series x has had since launch.“ your human brain is not very switched on 🤷🏻I can smell a jealous little bitch from a mile away
Sony Sony Sony. Crybaby. Anyone with half a brain cell knows why you swiping PlayStation. Nintendo and Microsoft have shown to be far more anti consumer than Sony. Could you be any more of a dense tool?
I disagree with the "far more". All of them have the same goal and they aren't perfect. They all do things that piss off the consumer.
Silent Hill 2 Remake debuts on Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Play Anywhere support and a limited time discount, offering a modern take on the acclaimed psychological horror classic.
