Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The Coin puzzle in Silent Hill 2 is one of the most famous puzzles in the game, as it is one that has been present since the game was first released on the PlayStation 2. If you've made it into the Wood Side Apartments in Silent Hill 2, an early-game area, then you'll want to know how to solve this puzzle. This puzzle is available on both 'Standard' and 'Hard' difficulty. Here is everything you need to know about the Coin Puzzle in Silent Hill 2, including where to find the coins in the game to be able to complete […]
The Silent Hill 2 remake is officially out, and plenty of mods have already been released to improve the game in various ways on PC. We've reported on the AMD FSR Frame Generation and NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction tweak, and now there's also an NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation mod released by none other than PureDark. As usual with his DLSS Frame Generation mods, you'll have to be a Patreon backer to get it. There are also several mods that improve various graphics and technical aspects of the Silent Hill 2 remake. For example, modder SammiLucia already posted their 'Ultra Plus' overhaul, […]
Silent Hill 2 director Masashi Tsuboyama took to X to talk about his feelings on the remake that's due to launch tomorrow. Tsuboyama-san, who has since worked in the art department of a few Nintendo games (most recently Yoshi's Crafted World and Princess Peach: Showtime!), criticized differences like 4K, 'photorealism', and the bonus headgear, labeling as mediocre. However, he praised the camera change as a major improvement for the remake. I think the value of the Silent Hill 2 remake is that a new generation can play it. As a creator, I'm very happy about it. It's been 23 years! […]
Though they are not officially supported, both AMD FSR 3 frame generation and NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction can be easily enabled in the Silent Hill 2 remake by Bloober Team, which is now available in early access for those who pre-ordered the game's Deluxe Edition. As reported by Deck Wizard, to enable AMD FSR 3 frame generation in the game, users need only add the r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled=1 line under [SystemSettings] in the game's engine.ini file. While it shows some ghosting issues, frame generation can definitely make the game feel smoother, especially for those who are playing on an underpowered system […]
A new Silent Hill 2 remake comparison video was shared online today, highlighting many of the changes introduced in the remake over the glorious original released on PlayStation 2. The comparison, which was put together by ElAnalistaDeBits, puts the original side-by-side with the remake developed by Bloober Team releasing next week, highlighting gameplay and visual changes. Judging from the comparison, the remake seems to bring great improvements across the board, which wasn't exactly a given, as the first few showings of the remake weren't exactly impressive. The consensus on the Silent Hill 2 remake is generally quite positive. The reviews […]
You promised me you'd take me there again someday, and now you have. Silent Hill 2 has returned; is this the long awaited return to that Special Place?
The Silent Hill 2 remake will require over 15 hours to complete, according to one of the game's very first reviews. Japanese magazine Famitsu reviewed the highly anticipated remake launching next week on PC and PlayStation 5 in this week's issue, awarding it a 35/40 score (8/9/9/9), which is a little higher than the score the magazine awarded the original game (32/40). The review praised the sense of realism brought by the beautiful visuals, the game's unique atmosphere, revamped puzzles that feel more mentally taxing, and combat. The review also confirmed that it will take between 16 and 18 hours […]
The Silent Hill 2 remake is just a couple of weeks away from launching. Fans are counting the hours down to return to the namesake town from Maine, United States, and today, we've got an unexpected treasure trove of new footage to quench their thirst. The source is Spanish content creator MenosTrece, who streamed several hours of gameplay from the PC review build of the Silent Hill 2 remake on Twitch. Needless to say, unless he got special permission from KONAMI, the live stream violated the embargo and thus will be taken down as soon as possible by the publisher […]
Earlier this week, the Gamescom staff sent out an email to the press mentioning some of the confirmed exhibitors, and that list included KONAMI. Indeed, when checking the Gamescom biz app, I could verify that KONAMI has secured a booth in Hall 4.1, A071/D080, which is in the business area. You could be forgiven for thinking that they'd bring their highly anticipated remakes: Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. However, that's not at all what KONAMI is showing there this year: as I confirmed with their PR agency, the Japanese publisher will be focusing solely on […]
Note: This is a developing story. More info about the Silent Hill 2 remake will be added shortly. When will fans finally be able to get their hands on the Silent Hill 2 remake? It feels like the project has been close to release for some time now, and yet info has been hard to come by, to the point even remake developer Bloober Team has seemed frustrated by the situation. Well, today during Sony’s latest State of Play showcase, we got a fresh peek at the new Silent Hill 2, and more importantly, an October release date. You can […]
The fourteen titles featured in today's PlayStation State of Play broadcast might have leaked in advance. -- SPOILER ALERT -- Yesterday, after various rumors, Sony finally announced a new State of Play event for later today. As confirmed by Sony, fourteen titles for PS5 and PS VR2 will be shown off during the 30-minute-long broadcast. Additional details haven't been provided, but as expected, many have been speculating about which games will be present during the show. Last week, we reported on Firewalk Studio's upcoming sci-fi PvP multiplayer FPS 'Concord', which might very well be featured during the show. Another title […]
At long last, it seems like the launch date for the Silent Hill 2 remake could very well be announced in two days. Earlier today, KONAMI confirmed a new Silent Hill transmission will be broadcast on YouTube on May 30 at 4 PM Pacific Time. The Japanese publisher teased 'game updates, a deeper look at the film, and new merch.' However, Polish developer Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, Observer, Blair Witch, The Medium) shared its own tweet, telling fans they are thrilled to invite them to the transmission. It seems like an obvious hint that we'll get significant Silent Hill […]
Vampire Survivors draws tons of inspiration from Castlevania, so it is no surprise that the new Ode To Castlevania DLC is fantastic. I’m here to guide you through unlocking each Hero and evolving each weapon, because that’s how you’ll end up accessing ...
