Fans are definitely excited about Silent Hill 2 Remake, but concerns arise that its longer runtime may dilute the horror experience.
Silent Hill 2 Remake is BROKEN. Even gaming journalists literally call it a MISTAKE
The upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake has fans excited, but there is also some concern. The remake is twice the length of the original game, which was recently shared by the developers. To many, this sounds like a good deal – more play time, more content and more chances to experience the game's spooky world.
But just because a game is longer doesn't always mean it's better. In fact, when it comes to horror games, a longer runtime can sometimes be a problem. The original Silent Hill 2 was tightly paced, with a story that kept players on edge from start to finish. Extending the game can drastically risk losing that excitement.
One of the biggest risks in making a game longer is the possibility of padding. It may seem like more content is good for some players, but if that content feels repetitive or unnecessary, it can make the game much less enjoyable.
