Silent Hill 2 remake's James is older now because so are you
Lead devs believe the average age of🐽 gꦚamers is older nowadays

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Silent Hill 2's remake stars a slightly older James Sunderlﷺand for a pretty gooﷺd reason.
Earlier today, the video below outlined a conversation with Silent Hill 2 producer Motoi Okamoto, concept artist Masahiro Ito, and composer Akira Yamaoka. Producer Okamoto revealed that after consulting fo𒐪rmer Silent Hill se🌄ries art director Ito, it was decided to age protagonist James Sunderland slightly for the Silent Hill 2 remake.
"This is in part because fans from 20 years ago are older now," Okamoto said. "The average a💃ge o♊f people who play video games has risen too. We want to depict a James who has had to suffer through more in his life as an adult. So yes, we did raise his age, though only by a bit."
James' face was something immediately picked up on by long-time Silent Hill 2 fans when the remake was finally announced late last year. The protagonist's new face proved pretty divisive at the time, although we only 💝saw fleeting glimpses of James looking visibly older in the trailer for the remake.
"I personally feel like it's also our way of emphasizing that this is 🍒a remake," Ito added. Okamoto actually continued to say that nowadays, in the age of the PS5 in particular, it's possible to depict characters as looking "somewhat older," whereas this n🦂uance was possible in previous console generations, with the PS2 in particular.
Earlier this month, Silent Hill 2 remake developer Bloober Tea🐼m revealed they had to beat out othe🐻r studios to work on the remake. In the same interview, the developඣer said it was feeling the pressure to deliver the remake of such a pres෴tigious horror title.
