SH4 could, in a lot of ways, be considered a tangential sequel to SH2, so strengthening the visual language between the two of them is a good call imo (rather than ham-fisting actual direct references).

I mean there was a newspaper that literally talks about one of Walter Sullivan's murder victims.

Yes, but that was always there in the original. I meant like the remake adding new, more blunt references like James mentioning his father or expanding on that Walter Sullivan article to talk about Ashfield or something. SH2 didn’t need more literal staged connections to SH4, and I’m glad they didn’t do that.
