The upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake may feature a Pyramid Head origin story that is fundamentally flawed.
Update:Konami hasnow statedthat the original Best Buy production information page was incorrect.
The listing has since been updated to remove the line regarding Pyramid Head.
No further information has been released as of this time.
Our original story has been left unchanged as a reference for this new information.
It was anentirely predictable outcomefor a project that seemed to be a terrible idea from the start.
Its not even the most embarrassing news item regarding Pyramid Head.
Recently,Silent Hillfans noticed that Best Buy uploadedtheir product pagefor developer Bloober Teams upcomingSilent Hill 2remake.
That product page included some information about the remake that had not previously been released.
Youre also not alone if you gagged slightly at the thought of that possibility.
What is Pyramid Heads origin story?
The full answer to that question is meant to belargely ambiguous.
However, we know that Pyramid Head first appeared in the 2001 video game,Silent Hill 2.
Pyramid Head could be called the executioner of that sentencing.
However, Pyramid Heads fan-favorite status has always been something of a sticking point for the franchise.
Yet, various efforts have been made to feature Pyramid Head in other pieces of media over the years.
Logic (or a complete lack thereof) is at the heart of this issue.
How do you possibly create a playable Pyramid Head origin story that doesnt directly involve James Sunderland?
Thats like having a Tyler Durden origin story prequel forFight Club.
Furthermore, I would imagine Konami is thrilled by anything that lets them do more with Pyramid Head.
What would possibly stop them from wanting to do that again?
I still have hope for theSilent Hill 2remake.
