this game hasn't even been fixed yet and people are giving it high scores.

because despite the voices not matching lips which seems to be the only thing i can notice that people are complaining about, doesnt automatically mean the game sucks imo.

in any news the game is awsome yet to touch silent hill 3 portion since im almost done platting silent hill 2 which is scary to me but after couple playthroughs the fear is lessen but still gets the better of me lol

DigitalAnalog4417d ago (Edited 4417d ago )

From my understanding there's more than just "Lip-sync" issues. Frame-rate is abysmal, textures were a complete mess, fog that was originally mean to cover inconsistencies is almost eliminated. When you have a remaster that performs WORSE than the PS2 then it is a failure of epic proportions.

Heck, DF already made an analysis regarding that further justifying the complaints of the game.

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.

bfrye26201d 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_drake200d 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.

CrimsonWing69200d ago

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

bfrye26199d ago

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

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

gold_drake363d 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

1nsomniac363d 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_Bomb362d ago

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

Pickledpepper362d ago

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

Knushwood Butt362d ago

Nice.

I have the games, just no PS2.

Pickledpepper362d ago

I have a ps2 for sale and a n64 lol

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

Amplitude749d ago (Edited 749d 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

jeenyus749d 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.

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

Army_of_Darkness748d ago

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