Konami has announced that the long-shot remake of Silent Hill 2 is real, and is being developed by Bloober Team, the Polish studio responsible for The Medium. Said remake now has a Steam page (opens in a new tab), and a set of system requirements. They are… not short.
The recommended specifications call for a GeForce RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon 6800XT while they note that they will allow you to play on medium quality settings at 60fps, or on high quality settings at only 30fps or in Full HD “or 4k using DLSS or similar technology”. That’s a big ask to still end up with only 30fps high after turning on DLSS.
Bloober is certainly capable of making engaging games, and The Medium’s creepy split-worlds and character animations looked great. Although I did have to turn off ray tracing even with a 3080 to prevent the framerate from dropping whenever someone lit a cigarette.
The original Silent Hill used fog to cover its limited draw distance. Currently, volumetric fog can be a demanding feature, affecting performance in games like Monster Hunter: World and Vermintide 2 (where turning it off can get you a 15% framerate, you’re welcome). But it’s possible that other things are responsible for the high specs, and we don’t know how long in development Bloober’s Silent Hill 2 remake is. The system requirements can be an educated guess, which will be revised closer to release, and Silent Hill 2 does not yet have a release date.
Gotham Knights system requirements came in just yesterday, and they were surprisingly demanding too. Silent Hill 2’s description says we’ll “Experience a masterclass in psychological survival horror—lauded as the best in the series—on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds” and maybe they mean it about “the most new hardware”.
Here are the full system requirements of Silent Hill 2.
