Secret features have been discovered in the original PlayStation 2 version of Silent Hill 2 17 years after the seminal psychological horror game was released.
Twitterers punk7890 and Bigmanjapan have discovered that a secret mini-map and a Save Anywhere feature can be unlocked once players have completed the game and received the Dog Ending.
According to The Cutting Room Floor (via Videogamer), players using an international copy of the game (i.e. not Japanese) and have their controller type set to “2” can enter “Start + L2 + Square + L3” to activate the map, which should spring up in the top-right corner (if it doesn’t work immediately, try entering the inventory menu screen and then exit again holding down Start button, and then input the rest of the button sequence).
