Sillent Hill 2: Born from a Wish | OG Xbox | 1440p60 | Longplay Full Game Walkthrough No Commentary
8Full longplay of the additional scenario released with Silent Hill 2's Restless Dreams, or Greatest Hits edition, called Born from a Wish. A short prologue to the Silent Hill 2, concentrated on Maria. Played on the OG Xbox, recorded at 1440p30, interpolated to 60 fps quite successfully in Adobe Premiere through Optical Flow, rendered at 1440p60 finally. Game executable was hacked to run in a real 16:9 widescreen, and in a 480p progressive mode. Noise effect turned off in the menu, as the Xbox port allows that from the get go, and it's irrelevant anyway as the youtube compressor deletes it out of video anyway LOL.
Played nice and slow, it was also my first, blind playthrough of this scenario. I expected some kinda of a challenge when it came to combat, so I chose Easy. Was expecting some Boss fight, the last time I've played SH2 was more than 10 years ago and it was tough on Normal and Hard sometimes. But yeah, that was probably a lowball mistake, as this whole bonus chapter is very much story-focused, not gameplay-focused. Should've put it on Hard. No difficult puzzles too, but the option wasn't even there.
Born from a Wish is a side-story scenario in the special editions and re-releases of the game in which the player takes control of Maria shortly before she and James meet at Silent Hill. After waking up in the town with a gun and contemplating suicide, she resolves to find someone, anyone, left in the town.
