The Silent Hill 2 remake managed to surprise a lot of dedicated fans with a faithful retelling of a much-beloved story, and to celebrate the game's release, Bloober Team shared a behind-the-scenes video that demonstrated how much thought went into creating not only the remake, but also its protagonist.
"I don't know if it shows, but I'm actually old enough to have played the original Silent Hill 2 when it came out, and without any exaggeration, it was a life-changing experience," the lead writer, Andrzej Madrzak, says in the video. "I don't think I would be doing what I do now if I hadn't played it at that point in time. And a lot of the impact it had, had to do with James and the way the game portrayed his inner struggle in ways which were just ground-breaking."
