Silent Hill HD Collection patch for PS3 arrives tomorrow

Rely on Horror: The long awaited Silent Hill HD Collection patch hits Playstation Network tomorrow. No word on the previously announced Xbox version of the patch, but I guess we'll find out soon.

Announced on the Silent Hill Community forum, Konami producer Tomm Hulett announced that the patch will be available tomorrow and fix several issues.

We'll see how much this patch actually helps, but I got so frustrated with the PS3 version of the game that I traded it for the Xbox 360 version. Xbox 360 version doesn't seem to have any problems, but I could be jaded since the PS3 version is so screwed-up.

That framerate on Silent Hill 2 was horrendous, and the slowdown in Silent Hill 3 was equally abhorrent.

I know right, I mean how hard must it be to come up with a decent HD remake? The God of War 1 and 2 remakes took 2 weeks! This is inexcusable, even if the team who did this is a beginner team with no experience, it doesn't matter, you don't mistreat a series like this by releasing garbage like this, I mean the Silent Hill franchise has had a rough time of it quality wise over the last several years, they really haven't done anything as good as Silent Hill 2 when it came out, well, ever lol
Come on Konami, you need to step it up and realize what made you successful in the first place!

MasterChief36244340d ago

Agreed :)

Speaking of agrees, why so many disagrees? :(

*prepares for five more on this comment*

Honestly who cares if the trolls of the internet disagree with you - they just need to get laid, and are taking their frustrations out anonymously like cowards hiding behind their keyboards, trolling around with absolutely nothing better to do - like go outside or do anything physical.

CernaML4340d ago

Holy sweet mother of God, THEY ARE JUST NOW GETTING TO THIS?!?!?!

Konami is officially the most incompetent publisher this gen.

Such a shame, they were my most favorite last gen.

SeraphimBlade4340d ago

So they could have fixed this sooner and it would have been really easy? Tell me how much you know about coding AAA games, I'm intrigued.

neoMAXMLC4340d ago

Uhhh... Polishing up a couple of remakes of PS2 games for much more powerful hardware shouldn't have been hard at all. But when you have both games running like they were on PS2 emulators on Walmart PCs, then something is seriously wrong. Framerate literally halves, controls are affected and even the sound gets screwed up from the slowdown. You should really have tried this collection beforr posting so you know what you are talking about next time

They need to patch up a damn PS2 HD Remake for crying out loud!?!?! how retarded can they get?!
That is just sad and pathetic!! an HD remake shouldnt be anything but better than the original in every way.

floetry1014340d ago

Blame Konami for this gaff. The code they provided for the remake was actually a Beta version of both titles. Hence why there are a mutitude of performance issues.

So, I think I'm going to just hold off buying major games for five months after they release, so that they're actually good when I buy them. Not that I'm not grateful for developers fixing this kind of thing, whether its texture issues or crappy endings.

Still though, what the heck is going on this year?

dazzrazz4340d ago

Still no major info about Downpour patch

neoMAXMLC4340d ago

So they finally decided to fix these issues that should never have been in the game a whole four months later? Jim Sterling was right. Konami is an absolute mess this past year.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26216d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake216d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69215d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26215d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

100% agree! SH2 is undoubtedly a stone cold classic.

gold_drake378d ago

i played a couple of months ago for the first time.

i agree that its a great survival game, but i think the minute u realise you can "kill" them, its takes alot of the initial fear out of it.
the same thing happened to me in Siren Blood Curse.

but its definitely one of the best games, when you start looking into the lore and the symbolism

1nsomniac378d ago

Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.

P_Bomb378d ago

Pyramid Head or Red Pyramid. Which do you guys call him?

Pickledpepper377d ago

I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it

Knushwood Butt377d ago

Nice.

I have the games, just no PS2.

Pickledpepper377d ago

I have a ps2 for sale and a n64 lol

how is it after the patches? Aren't there also more to come?

Amplitude764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

Did people not like the Mafia 2 remake? I got so into it. Thought it was amazing. Never played the original.

Some of these are fitting but I can't help but feel like the author just has nostalgia for the original Mafia 2 here. Dmc Collection on PS4 is fiiiiine its just a collection of PS2 games and the PS3 performance was not amazing. The point is to just have the PS2 games for a new gen of people. Crysis Remastered is also totally fine and has been patched and updated to death since launch. The original version essentially ran on one CPU core and they couldn't fix it let alone get that running on console/switch so they had good reason to do what they did to boost interest in Crysis before the Crysis 4 announcement

Lots of way worse remasters out there lol GTA, THPS HD, that Mario 3D All Stars trash, etc

jeenyus764d ago

That's the issue, you haven't played the original.
The new one is slightly better looking but it's bugged af by comparison.

monkey602764d ago

So in essence ... 2020 the year of bad remasters

Army_of_Darkness763d ago

Sounds like a case of quick cash grabs during the pandemic.
