A lot of players were disappointed with the new looks of Maria and Angela in Silent Hill 2 Remake. To put it simply, they did not look as hot as they did in the original game. And, to the surprise of no one, modders have figured out ways to make them more beautiful and feminine.
I’ve seen a lot of excuses online about why some games don’t have 3D female characters that can resemble their live actresses. And, honestly, those are mere excuses and nothing more. There is no technological difficulty here. In fact, with the tools we now have, it should be easier than in the past. That’s why we have more advanced tools and more advanced game engines.
So, the different looks of Angela and Maria were purely artistic changes. And, you know what? James also looked worse when Konami first showcased the game. Contrary to Angela and Maria, though, Bloober Team improved the 3D model of James after the harsh criticism. So, it’s not like it’s SO difficult to make changes to the 3D models.
Not only that but the fact that modders, without proper tools, have improved the 3D models in record time is proof enough that Angela and Maria look the way they do on purpose. Again, I’m saying this because a lot suddenly assume that it’s a tech issue. It’s not.
Anyway, you can go ahead and download the Angela and Maria mods from here and here, respectively.
Now while the mods improve these 3D models, they are not perfect. So, you should expect some minor glitches and visual issues. Still, and despite those issues, I know that a lot of SH2 will greatly appreciate them.
Speaking of Silent Hill 2, Bloober Team hasn’t released any patch for it as of yet. As I’ve already said, there isn’t ANY mod that can reduce or fix the game’s traversal stutters. However, there are some cool mods that you can try. For instance, you can enable NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction for better visuals. You can also remove the 30fps cap from the in-engine cutscenes. And then we have the DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod. Oh, and if you are not interested in a paid mod, you can force AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation. Just use the guide from this article to enable it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
