Mod The original Silent Hill 2 gets a modern camera mod by Zealot Tormunds

[admin]

​

The adept developer Zealot Tormunds, who initially worked on a modern camera mod for "Silent Hill 4: The Room", and then continued right after finishing that one with a modern camera mod for Silent Hill 3, has now finished his latest mod, being of course a modern camera mod for the beloved psychological horror classic "Silent Hill 2".

Developer Zealot Tormunds teased worked on a modern camera mod for the original Silent Hill 2 for PC back when the initial work and release for the camera mod for Silent Hill 3 was finished. As with the other two Silent Hill mods of his, this one incorporates a full 3rd person over-the-shoulder camera to Silent Hill 2, which makes controlling and playing the game similar to that of modern games like the recent Resident Evil remakes (RE2/RE3/RE4). Not only that, but the mod also has an option for a 1st Person camera if the players wants to experience the game in a much more immersive manner.

This mod includes the following features:

• The already mentioned 3rd and 1st person cameras alongside manual aiming.
• Support with the "Born From A Wish" scenario that focuses on Maria.
• Overall map fixes have implemented for the new camera to add missing geometry for places that the player wasn't supposed to see.
• Compatibility with the "Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition" mod (considered by many the definitive way to experience the original title).
• Includes an external settings application for the user to modify certain options of the mod, like visibility of the player, camera sensitivity, camera distances, FOV value, toggle manual aim and 1st person perspective, amongst others.

​

Instructions:
Drag and drop all the files from the .rar into your SH2 root folder. Replace if prompted. This is compatible with SH2 Enhanced Edition. To open the mod menu, pause the game with ESC and then press F1. This only works when your game is paused. Any errors, crashes or softlocks you find, let me know. Also, I've added F2 as the hotkey to switch the camera mod ON/OFF while you're in game. Use it if you don't wanna go into the mod menu.

Those interested in checking out the Silent Hill 2 Modern Camera Mod by Zealot Tormunds can visit his GitHub repository for the SH2 Camera Mod and follow the instructions specified in the repository to install the mod.
Be mindful that this mod is only compatible with the PC release of Silent Hill 2.
