Silent Hill 2 Remake Gameplay Showcases Laura, Flesh Lip Boss Fight, and More

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 has piqued my interest like no other game has in recent memory. The balance between fidelity to the original and modernization is a tightrope walk, but Bloober Team seems to be treading it with grace.


In the build-up to the release of their remade version of “Silent Hill 2”, both Konami and Bloober Team have consistently emphasized that the game will stay true to its 2001 original, while significantly updating the visuals and technology for a more modern experience. As the horror remake is about to drop soon, they’ve shared another fresh snippet of footage to reinforce this point.

Taking a seat with PlayStation, Bloober Team recently showcased a particular segment of the forthcoming remake for Silent Hill 2, directly contrasting it to the original released in 2001. This side-by-side comparison offers an evident glimpse into what has been modified, refined, and essentially preserved in its essence.

The initial scenes from the updated footage highlight James and Laura’s interaction at Brookhaven Hospital. Most of their original dialogue remains, including Laura’s well-known “fartface” remark. However, due to performance capture and minor adjustments in dialogue for this new version, the scene appears somewhat different, despite maintaining a similar aesthetic and tone to the original.

In my gaming experience, I’ve noticed that when it comes to the showdown with Flesh Lips right after the Laura scene, there are some alterations between the original and the remake. For one, in the updated version, I face off against a solitary Flesh Lip as opposed to two in the original game.

In the battle, although the Flesh Lip retains its appearance and continues to assault James by falling from the ceiling, the fight dynamic has shifted significantly. Players must now strategically shoot the Flesh Lip, causing it to fall to the ground, where they can then attack its enclosure in the initial phase of the fight. The second phase introduces a new tactic as the Flesh Lip uses the damaged remnants of its cage as a weapon to attack James. For additional information, please watch the video below.

On October 8, Silent Hill 2 is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5 and personal computers. Previews of this game are expected to be published on October 4.
