Silent Hill HD Collection

Just been reading up a bit about Silent Hill : Downpour and that looks to be very good and going back to the Silent Hill 2 roots. Is released a week after the HD Collection as well.

March is going to be expensive :p
 
Agreed :), hell even Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation rates it as one of his favourite ever games.

Is definitely in my top 3 console games, along with FFVII and probably RE2
 
I love these games. But I do have a fear threshold. As much as I love them, I can only play them for a few hours at a time. Due to my nerves being constantly on edge :D

Same with Dead space :o

Never had it with resident evil though, even the early ones never had me on edge like these games. Jumped now and again, but thats about it.

There's a scene on Dead space 2, Where you're entering a section of medical bays, 2 or 3 little sections with beds. Well in between the 3 bays, a steam conduit or something randomly exhausts... WELL. I hit the roof. Saved at the next opportunity and turned it off. :(
 
SH2 was awesome, I always remember that giant room that was pitch black and you could hear things running at you, I spent ages building up the courage to make a mad dash around the room.
 
Read these links closely. Look at how much difference there is between the PC versions then see how many technical issues players are getting & how the graphics have been changed in a horrible fashion affecting the atmosphere & make your own mind up if they are worth buying or not! They were converted by a developer with no previous PS3/360 experience obviously on the very cheap. The consensus is PS2/Xbox 1 native versions even look better overall. PC versions are much better looking again but ultra-rare nowadays (thankfully I still have both of mine from new & no there are not for sale ever!). PC versions are not ported here its the PAL PS2 version only. All Konami had to do was port the PC SH2+3 as they look good to this day. SH3 especially has 4096x4096 texture maps (for a 2003 PC game thats a lot of data/detail :eek: ).

Read this backwards for the latest issues but near the start players have done HD collection to PC side by side to show how much detail/atmosphere is missing :eek:

New HD Collection SH2 water :eek: :eek:

Original PS2 water:

Consensus is PS3 version has a lot of tehnical issues bordering on broken even after a 200mb patch which appeared to do nothing.

360 version is a little better but still has technical issues like slowdowns.

Both versions are missing graphical effects like lensflare & lighting, missing street gfx details, missing fog/atmopshere, missing lines of dialog & music on several scenes. Whoever managed this project for Konami clearly did a shocking job overall bringing 10 year old games which are inferior to the originals into HD is close to being an alltime low :mad: (Which is why the price is so low if you pre-order.)
 
Oh my God, I seriously can't believe they've messed up so bad! So basically Konami outsourced this to poor, unknown developer and they've made a right mess of it. Was really looking forward to this but seeing the comparisons and reading up on it has really really put me off this.

Honestly i'm so disappointed with this, I thought Konami were better than this.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
Have you seen the rest of it? Check out the floor as soon as you leave the bog right at the start of the game, it looks so bare and clean!

Konami mis-managed the project by using an experienced but very cheap outsourcer.

At least the truth is out there now imagine how unhappy some SH fans would be if they actually pre-ordered this garbage :eek: SH2 port is much worse than SH3 port but both have so much missing atmosphere I still cannot understand who produced this on Konami's side :eek: perhaps they were interns or something :rolleyes:

Konami have damaged the SH gaming brand here IMO by producing such shoddy inferior work & Downpour whilst lengthy is not any better than Homecoming so not sure us SH fans can expect anymore content in HD for a while to come as its just not producing the quality so sales are low :o
