Silent Hill 2 translator Jeremy Blaustein is asking Konami to credit his work on the original Silent Hill 2 game in the remake, saying "it's the right this to do".
Blaustein says that while he does not "expect or seek any financial compensation", "I do strongly feel that giving me appropriate credit for my role is the right thing to do".
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
A new Steam update for the Silent Hill 2 remake has added a new screenshot for James, showing an improvement to his character model.
ESRB has rated Silent Hill 2 Remake as Mature due to its explicit content, including blood and gore, strong language, and sexual themes.
That's fair. When localizing something you're basically rewriting the entire story to fit a new language, while keeping the integrity, meaning, impact etc, of every line of dialogue intact. That's not easy to do. He absolutely should get credit for the translation.
