A group of volunteer developers and modders have been quietly enhancing and improving the PC release of celebrated psychological horror, Silent Hill 2.
Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is self-described as an ongoing project of enhancement packages that add various visual, audio, and bug improvements for the PC version of the game, such as implementing a modern widescreen camera, improving the display for higher resolutions, and removing several prominent audio bugs.
The most recent version – released earlier this month – sees newly-added features such as crisp, high-resolution fonts, an improved flashlight, vibration support, and much more, including smoothing away popping or looping textures in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.
“The use of these enhancement packages, made by a collaborative team of wonderful modders and programmers, makes for a definitive Silent Hill 2 HD experience,” the team states. “[It is] the culmination of years of hard work by talented programmers and modders to fix and enhance the PC version Silent Hill 2. The dedication and passion by these talented individuals cannot be understated.
