I started Silent Hill 2's New Game+ today. I plan since i now know how everything will go it should be much quicker. I think this time i want to go for the rebirth ending. I also found out the Photo Mode mod exists which has made my day. I intend to use this to take way better screenshots. Here's one of the Backseat of James' car. If anyone has seen discussions on other people using a free cam mode lately then you know what's under the blanket. Apparently the outline filter makes it even more obvious.

I also got to explore some more of my favorite with the mod: Landscape shots. Here's one i took of the road to Silent Hill:

I also took this shot of the house right after the first encounter. The way the lighting works on it is really pretty, though the shutters were tweaking out on my end:

And then finally i tried to recreate one of the glimpses of the past using the Camera Mode for fun. I have very vivid memories of this one specifically from the OG because i struggled with it at first (and it also scared the piss out of me). It's still one of my favorite memories of the original game though.

I love the eerie, cold and desolated mood in Silent Hill 2. I haven't played the new one yet, but it seems to be on point. Thanks, great screenshots!

It's been a while since I played the original but in my opinion the Remake nailed the mood of the original perfectly. Personally I think It's everything a remake should be (minus the lack of the sub-scenario)

As someone who has not played Silent Hill 2 and likely never will...what's under the blanket?

spoilerMasahiro Ito (The art director and creature designer for Silent Hill 2 and the Remake) has said that James's Wife's Corpse is in the back seat of the car. It's hard to see due to the tint on the window in my Screenshot, but the outline of her body can be seen under the blanket, not to mention that in the in water ending (basically the ending where he kills himself) James looks into the back seat of his car while driving it into the lake and talking about how his wife isn't with him anymore.
