A major Italian translation error has spoiled the entirety of the plot of theSilent Hill 2 Remakefor those using the feature. A radio message that was supposed to be muddied up to hide the revelation of the plot accidentally revealed what to expect from the ending of the title.

Upon finding this radio, a message begins to play from the main character’s wife, Mary, which is very hard to hear and understand. This distortion is meant to stop the player from uncovering the mystery within mere moments of booting up the title, butdue to an error with the Italian subtitles, the entire message was displayed on the screen.
