Quixel’s 3D Art Lead remakes Silent Hill 2 bathroom scene in Unreal Engine 4 with Ray Tracing

Quixel’s 3D artist and Art Lead, Wiktor OhmanPRO, has shared some really cool screenshots from a remake of the Silent Hill 2 bathroom scene in Unreal Engine 4. What’s really cool here is that Wiktor used Ray Tracing in order to bring life to this scene. As such, this project showcases what a next-gen Silent Hill 2 remake could look like.

In case his name sounds familiar, Wiktor was  the man behind a recent Counter-Strike remake in Unreal Engine 4.

Wiktor used Quixel’s Megascans, something that is quite obvious from the gorgeous textures that accompany this map. Furthermore, the artist used Raytracing for the Global Illumination and Reflections.

The end result is spectacular, and will give you a glimpse at a next-gen version of Konami’s classic game. Konami does not have any plans to remake Silent Hill 2, so don’t expect to be playing such a remake anytime soon. Still, it’s really cool witnessing artists remaking classic games in newer engines.

Alongside the following screenshots, Wiktor has also released a video showcasing this fan remake. We strongly suggest watching the video as it goes into details about remaking this scene.

Enjoy!

    1. Like i said we have those amazing graphics nowadays and devs use em to show us ugly people and ugly disgusting places.

      1. Agreed about ugly people, disagree about disgusting places. The enviromnents in the PS3/Xbos360 era where worse, thanks to the brown filters of the era.

      1. Only one way to find out: recreate 1:1 remake of these games on said engines and see which one get’s close to the PS2 version.

          1. That one is Unity engine right? Pathologic 2 has similar vibes (to Silent Hill). Also, there is an Official Silent Hill game on Unreal3

  1. Misleading title, it’s not the bathroom scene, it’s just a recreation of the bathroom enviromnent in U4. Thankfully i didn’t need to stare at 12 minutes of a bathroom video to figure that out.
