Topic on Talk:Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut

The article isn't as informative as it used to be due to moved or deleted keypoints

the current keypoints:

Unofficial mods enhance the game and make it more playable on modern systems.
Silent Hill 2 PC comes with improved flashlight lighting, a quick-save function, real-time weapon swapping, and a movie gallery.
Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS; use Silent Hill 2 Enhancements to fix.

Information about downgraded shadows, audio and FMVs has been moved elsewhere and the fog effects don't even have their own keypoint anymore — "Silent Hill 2 Enhancements is a collection of unofficial mods which implement widescreen resolution support, add PlayStation 2 quality audio and fog[...]" — to my knowledge no one has ported the PS2 fog to PC, the effect was recreated, wasn't it?

I learned about the massive issues in the Silent Hill PC ports from PC Gaming Wiki, without the great articles I'd likely have completed the unfinished versions. I'd argue that in the current state of the page new users don't learn about the fog especially.

Even when issues can be improved or solved by mods, negatives should stay negative.

Especially if you need mods. The key points should link to the further fixes (they do). I would go ahead and modify the first key point to mention that Several features are downgraded compared to PS2 version; use unofficial mods to fix. If that is an accurate analysis, I would add that as a second key point.
