Silent Hill 2 Remake Wiki Locked After Review Score Trolling

The gaming world is buzzing with the latest news about the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Recently, the Wikipedia page for this highly anticipated game was locked due to persistent disruptive modifications aimed at lowering its review scores. This remake, developed by Bloober Team, revisits the classic Konami game from 2001. It follows James Sunderland as he navigates the eerie town of Silent Hill after receiving a mysterious letter from his deceased wife, Mary. Available on PC and PS5, this game is exclusive to Sony's console for a year.

Wikipedia's Semi-Protection

Wikipedia administrators had to grant the Silent Hill 2 Remake page a "semi-protected" status. This action was taken to prevent vandalism and correct trolling. For instance, the review score from a major gaming site was falsified, dropping from 8/10 to 6/10 before being corrected by moderators. Similarly, Eurogamer's score was tampered with, showing 0/5 instead of the accurate five stars.

Why the Review Bombing?

Speculation suggests that the review bombing might be due to trolls unhappy with changes in the characters' appearances. Despite this, the game enjoys an "extremely positive" user rating on Steam, based on over 3,000 reviews. While the global release is set for October 8, the game is already available in early access.

What's Next for Wikipedia?

The exceptional protection measure on the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page is expected to expire on October 9. However, administrators will likely need to keep a close watch on the page in the short term to prevent further disruptions.
