Product Information

Konami (Team Silent) (September 21, 2001). Silent Hill 2 (PlayStation 2). Konami. Level/area: rebirth ending. Development of the Silent Hill series started in September 1996 with the beginning of the development of its first installment, Silent Hill. [80] The game was created by Team Silent, a group of staff members within the Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo studio. [81] [82] [83] The new owners of its parent company Konami sought to produce a game that would be successful in the United States. For this reason, a Hollywood-like atmosphere was proposed for it. Despite the profit-oriented approach of the parent company, however, the developers of Silent Hill had much artistic freedom because the game was still produced in the era of lower-budget 2D titles. Eventually, the development staff decided to ignore the limits of Konami's initial plan, and to make Silent Hill a game that would appeal to the emotions of players instead.

[55] In that reality, physical law often does not apply, [56] with varying forms but most frequently ones whose physical appearance is based on that of Silent Hill, and the series' characters experience delusions and encounter tangible symbols of elements from their unconscious minds, mental states, and innermost thoughts when present in it, [56] [57] manifested into the real world. The origin of these manifestations is a malevolent power native to Silent Hill, which materializes human thoughts; this force was formerly non-evil, but was corrupted by the occurrence of certain events in the area.
