Silent Hill 2 Remake will come out next month and apparently, someone has streamed around six hours of gameplay from it. TwitchTV’s member ‘MenosTrece’ most likely got a PC review code and streamed the following gameplay footage.
Sadly, the content creator did not use any performance overlay tools. He also did not reveal the specs of the PC he used. Thus, we can’t really comment on the game’s performance. However, he did share the PC graphics settings.
The video is in Spanish, and since I don’t speak the language, I can’t comment on what was said during the livestream. Maybe someone who speaks Spanish can translate the most important tech details? Just a thought.
Anyway, I’m almost certain that Konami will take it down shortly. Thus, I suggest watching the video while it’s still available.
Silent Hill 2 Remake will be using Unreal Engine 5. In October 2022, Bloober Team shared its initial PC system requirements. According to them, an NVIDIA RTX2080 would be able to run it at 1080p/High/30fps. Since those PC specs were posted two years ago, I’m curious to see whether Konami will update them. For the time being, Steam still lists the same PC requirements.
As I’ve already said, this will be a 1:1 remake of the original. So, don’t expect anything like the Resident Evil remakes. In a way, I prefer this type of remake. After all, a lot of players have complained when remakes make major changes to various parts of the original titles.
Konami will release Silent Hill 2 Remake on October 8th. For what it’s worth, we’ve already requested a PC review code but we haven’t heard back from the publisher. So, it’s uncertain whether or not we’ll have a PC Performance Analysis on launch day.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

It looks as mediocre as I expected.
30fps on an RTX2080. So it will do 25fps on an RTX 3060.
Terrible performance. Pass. Developers really need to stop using Unreal 5. It is a bloated garbage of an engine.
Today's games have more bloat than Adobe software. I am increasingly only buying indie games and older games on GOG, just to get away from the **** performance of Unreal and today's AAA games.
Its not about the engine its about the human quality of the developer, these frauds in gaming these days are just inferior programmers to the ones we had 20 years ago.
Well, I don't care what it is. Every Unreal 5 game I tried has had lag, stuttering and just outright bad performance, they're the only games that make my fans spin as loud.
I am done with this costly PC ratrace, forcing gamers to spend $600+ on GPU every few years just to run AAA games at 60fps, and even then, today's AAA games run like absolute ****. My next game purchase will be an indie or 2D game, and my next "PC upgrade", will be a Switch 2.
No, it's just you inferior mind.
Well we also had much less games 20 years ago …
And you can always continue that and get games from few reputed devs now like Id, Rockstar, Capcom, Nightdive, FromSoft or whichever you currently prefer and ignore the others
Another unoptimised miracle. UE5…
6 hours of Silent Hill 2… So that'll be all of it then if it's a 1:1 remake…
Depending on how he plays the game, a first playthrough usually takes up to 8 hours. Also, it seems the game got expanded in scope, it took the guy almost 3 hours to reach the apartments.
I liked the combat, looks like a more polished Silent Hill Homecoming. Don't much like the direction of the cutscenes tough. They should have released the game on October 7th to pay homage to the 6 million beheaded baked israeli children.
He said is running on an rtx 4080, 4k high settings,dlss performance, ray tracing off. He got about 90 fps. That's only at the start. I didn't watch the whole video.
