GameStop has just put up a product page for the Silent Hill HD Collection (or the Silent Hill Re-Mastered Collection) on Playstation 3, revealing several additional details that weren’t in the initial press release.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
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.
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.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
GF365: "Silent Hill 2 is the sequel to 1999's Silent Hill, and it was released in 2001 by Konami. Here's why Silent Hill 2 is one of the best survival-horror games of all time."
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
Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.
I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it
Here are five worst video game remasters that ruined its original material or at the very least, contributed to tarnishing its good name.
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
If you don't feel like clicking the link:
To begin with, it looks like the official name will be “Silent Hill Re-Mastered Collection.” In addition to the voice-work, the soundtracks for two classic survival horror titles will be completely updated. GameStop also revealed that the graphics in Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 (you can check out some screens from the Playstation 2 versions of both games in the slideshow to the left of this article) will be in 720p high-definition resolution. Finally, the online retailer listed a $39.99 price tag for the Silent Hill Re-Mastered Collection in addition to a September 20th release date in North America.
I still don't understand why only 720p? How can more visually impressive games like Shadow of the Colossus and Beyond Good and Evil are 1080p and this slow paced with hardly any action on screen at a time game can't be on 1080p too?
Picking this up day one. (I just wish SH4: The Room was included.)
Oh god no, what do they mean by "the soundtracks for two classic survival horror titles will be completely updated"?
I'm so excited for this. I do with Silent Hill 1 was included but I can understand why it was left out.
