[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65035, member: 1"] The Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page was locked down after its list of review scores from the press was edited to make them lower. Silent Hill 2 is Bloober Team’s well-received remake of Konami’s classic 2001 psychological horror game for PC and PS5 ([URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/silent-hill-2-remake-console-exclusive-to-ps5-for-1-year']it’s console exclusive to PS5 for one year, Sony has confirmed[/URL]). It sees protagonist James Sunderland following a mysterious letter from his late wife, Mary, and a search for clues in the terrifying namesake town, which is teeming with nightmarish monsters. As reported by [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/silent-hill-2-remake-wikipedia-page-locked-after-salty-fans-try-to-rewrite-its-critically-acclaimed-reception']Eurogamer[/URL], admins were forced to make [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_2_(2024_video_game)']Wikipedia’s Silent Hill 2 Remake page[/URL] ‘semi-protected’ after what was called “persistent disruptive editing.” Wikipedia’s rules state that semi-protection is sometimes necessary “to prevent vandalism” to popular pages, and that’s exactly what happened here, with admins issuing a number of updates that changelog entries said were “to fix trolling.” IGN’s was among the review scores tampered with. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/silent-hill-2-2024-review']IGN’s Silent Hill 2 Remake review[/URL] returned an 8/10, but it was lowered to 6/10. Eurogamer’s score dropped down to 0/5 after [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/silent-hill-2-remake-review']awarding the game a five-star review[/URL]. At the time of this article’s publication, the review scores were accurate. Why did this happen? Eurogamer speculates it may be driven by trolls who are upset about changes made to the character’s faces and clothes. Silent Hill 2 Remake is having a better time of it over on Steam, where it currently enjoys an ‘overwhelmingly positive’ user review rating from over 3,000 reviews. (Silent Hill 2 Remake’s global release date is October 8, but advanced access is available now.) Wikipedia’s Silent Hill 2 Remake page protection is set to expire on October 9, although admins may need to keep an eye on it in the near-term at least. [I]Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
