Silent Hill 2 developers Bloober Team are preparing to launch the much-anticipated remake of the 2001 title, but first, they’ve sent the franchise faithful into a frenzy after releasing a clip showing off a “90s filter” for the game—and plenty of fans feel like the developer’s dedication is showing.

Bloober team released the clip on Sept. 4, showing Silent Hill 2 protagonist James Sunderland walking around with a plank and making his way through an empty, fog-filled street. The UI is off and it leaves a clearer depiction of what the studio’s going for; the colors are more dialed down in comparison to gameplay without the filter. That desaturation is in service of a grungier look evocative of 90s hits and chiaroscuro cinematography. “Everything about this is amazing,” one fan said, and most seem to agree.
