When you think of great years in gaming, what comes to mind? When you look at the last twenty years, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2018 all stand out; each year had a game release that made a lasting impact on the video game industry. With Millennials being fans of the golden years and craving to replay games they had great nostalgia for, the video game industry has continued to release remastered versions of some of the most popular titles. In 2024 alone, there are over 40 remastered titles/collections set to be released. Most notably, games like Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, Until Dawn, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, and the Silent Hill 2 Remake are the most anticipated remasters of 2024.
With the Silent Hill 2 Remake set to be released on October 8th, fans are eagerly anticipating what many consider the best game in the franchise and one of the best games in the Horror genre. Despite the game not being officially released until next week, copies of the game and reviews have been spotted in the wild. With Silent Hill 2 Remake Deluxe Edition ($79.99), gamers can play the game early on October 6th. With early copies of the game already available, we now know the Silent Hill 2 Remake file size; the 1.0 version of the game has a download size of 50.535 GBs. Compared to some modern games, this is rather large file size for a single-player game. Although it is rather sizeable, it is small compared to Alan Wake 2‘s 85 GB or The Casting of Frank Stone‘s 70 GB.
