“It completely changes the game”: This little addition hidden in Silent Hill 2 Remake has shocked players

Acclaimed Critically acclaimed, the recently released Silent Hill 2 remake has surprised many gamers, with a well-hidden detail in the game.

Released several weeks ago on new generation consoles and PC, “Silent Hill 2 Remake” has won over the press and gamers. The title, which allows you to play the character of James Sunderland in search of his wife who died three years earlier, allows you to explore the dark ghost town of Silent Hill. The game allows you to face many monsters and dangers, but a small detail seems to have escaped many players and has shocked Internet users when it was discovered.

When “Silent Hill 2 Remake” was unveiled, many players were surprised to see that the camera was now above the main character's shoulder. A choice made by the Bloober Team studio to better follow James' actions, especially during fights. However, the release of the title on PC allowed several Internet users to modify the game files and succeed in playing it in virtual reality. This means that the game then switches to first person and the camera now follows the main character's gaze and can even enter certain walls to see beyond textures of the game. A technique that allowed to make a macabre discovery in the first hours of the game. Warning, the following lines will spoil the end of “Silent Hill 2”.

By switching to VR mode and observing James' car at the very beginning of the game, it is possible to find a blanket strewn over what appears to be a human silhouette. For fans of the game, there is little doubt: the corpse of James' deceased wife is in his own car.

When James arrives in Silent Hill, he leaves his car in the parking lot to go looking for his wife who died three years ago. At the end of the game, however, we understand that the latter, Mary, is in reality died some time ago at the hands of James himself, who could no longer bear his illness.

We then understand that James did indeed kill his wife, but also that he kept her inert body in the back of his car! Enough to add a touch of horror and psychosis to the main character of the game. This addition is however a detail added in the remake since the original opus released on PS2 only mentioned Mary's body in the trunk of James' car.

Note that the technique which allows you to see the inside of James' car is not required to view the cover. By zooming in closely on the car windows at the very beginning of the game, it is also possible to see a bit of the blanket on the back seat, but clearly not as clearly as with the switch to VR. Be careful though, because if you leave this area, it is possible that you will not be able to return there afterwards and miss this macabre detail.
