Konami releases over 187 tracks from upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake

After going a decade without any new releases, Konami has finally returned to the Silent Hill franchise, with their first major title being the upcoming remake of the classic Silent Hill 2. Ahead of the game’s official launch on the 8th of October, Konami has released almost 200 music tracks from the upcoming remake – all composed by Akira Yamaoka.

One of the most iconic aspects of Silent Hill 2 (and the Silent Hill series at large) is its soundtrack, with the haunting yet compelling tunes of Akira Yamaoka making it one of the most beloved survival horror franchises in gaming.

Perhaps as a sign of confidence, Konami have now released two videos on their YouTube channel – totalling almost 100 minutesfeaturing 187 tracks from the upcoming remake. As with the original, all the music has been composed by none other than Akira Yamaoka.

As such, if you were wanting to get into the Silent Hill 2 Remake vibe, or if you just wanted to compare it to the original, this release comes at the perfect time.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
