Silent Hill 2 remake’s protagonist James Sunderland looks to have a slight redesign.
Later today, May 30,Konamiwill hold a brand new Silent Hill Transmission broadcast, where it’s assumed Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake will have a big presence. That assumption was confirmed by the Reddit post just below, which discovers that in auto-generating aYouTubethumbnail for the video, Silent Hill 2 protagonist James pops up.
The James in the reveal trailer looked gaunt and tired, whereas the new James looks considerably more full of life. “His face isn’t as long and narrow I think. But I could be wrong,” reads one Reddit comment under the post. I think that about nails it - he looks more like a normal human being here, rather than someone who’s undergoing severe mental trauma in the majority of Silent Hill 2.
So, yes, dear reader, the “hot” comments have begun in earnest. “He’s kinda hot, right?” reads a Reddit comment, while another adds “He’s kinda meow 😼nvm,” whatever the hell that means. Thirsting aside, James genuinely seems to be going down a treat with players new and old this time around, which is a big improvement on his initial look, even if the character model itself hasn’t actually changed.
The Silent Hill Transmission begins later today at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET, and the following day at 12:00 am BST for UK viewers.
