Wikipedia has had to lock down the Silent Hill 2 Remake page after repeated vandalism from editors who refuse to accept that the remake of Konami’s seminal horror game released to critical acclaim earlier this week.

Outright lies around the games reception and metacritic score - including one edit that said the game had “received the worst reviews imaginable” - means the page has now been put into a semi-protected state to stop unregistered users from making wild, unsubstantiated claims, including one that said Eurogamer had awarded it 0/5 stars when, in fact, it got top marks.

It’s unclear what’s motivating the edits, although its presumed by some to have been fuelled by the nauseating discourse that the game is “woke” because of changes made to the characters facial features and clothing.

Alternatively, it may stem from some fans’ dismayed that Silent Hill 2 has been remade by Bloober Teamor, indeed, at all.

    Why? The original didn’t go anywhere, and they’re just screwing us out of possible remakes my faking bad press. So far, I’ve heard that they knocked it out of the park and I hope it’s true. Give me my SH4 remake
