After endless rumors over the last year, we can finally officially say that Silent Hill 2 Remake is a reality. Developed by none other than the Bloober Team, who already surprised us at the beginning of this generation with The Medium, this recreation of the 2001 classic promises to be one of the most cutting-edge games at the graphic level of the moment, being one of the pioneer titles in using the Unreal Engine 5.
Now, on the occasion of its announcement, Masahiro Ito, designer of the title and of a large part of the environments and enemies of the saga, has wanted to come to the fore through Twitter to deny one of the most widespread rumors of Silent Hill 2which suggests that the protagonist looks at the player in the iconic mirror scene.

But it is a reality. James does not look at the player«.
They have had to spend 21 years, but the issue has finally been settled. It is simply an optical effect caused by the angle and poor visibility in the photo. Still, it was a fun rumor while it lasted.
