Shortly after the first trailer for the game was released, people began mocking James Sunderland’s new face. Fans were not pleased with the drastic change, as James had gone from a charismatic heartthrob to a more ordinary appearance. However, after about a year and a half, Bloober has responded to the criticisms by giving James a facelift that has managed to please fans.
The new look has been well-received and has generated a lot of positive feedback from the Silent Hill community. Amidst the negativity surrounding the Silent Hill 2 Remake, it is refreshing to see that Bloober Team has finally made fans happy. Many are expressing that the new appearance aligns better with the overall themes of the game, in contrast to the previous more exaggerated look.
Overall, the changes have been received positively, although there are some dissenting voices, which is not uncommon on platforms like Twitter. The revised appearance has even led some to believe that the Silent Hill 2 Remake might not be as disastrous as initially anticipated. Bloober Team recently revealed that Konami is overseeing the game’s marketing, a fact that became known after the poorly received combat trailer released by the publisher.
Along with James Sunderland’s new look, Bloober’s comments have instilled confidence that the final product may turn out to be much better.
