Running down the ridiculously long hallway in silent hill 2 to reach the prison under the historical society building, they removed that creepy repeating horn-like noise that plays and replaced it with weak lying figure footsteps that happen every few seconds. Thanks for ruining the mood there!

This happened to me too. I was hoping it was just the sound glitching out. Seriously, WTF?

[brandonh83]

The question is, are any of the audio changes present in 2 if you use original voices?

Not sure. My mind is still warped by the performance differences. Anyway, thank you for the recommendation.

wait they took out the fucking SIREN in SH2? Tourettes Guy: ARE YOU SHITTING ME

[badcrumble]

Nothing wrong with the 360 version, but the PS3 version has horribly choppy framerates and borked controls.

And both versions have some pretty bad stuff altered in the sound mix department :(

[Persona7]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

Why did this game ship broken?

[Cudder]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

OMG

[Typographenia]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

Thanks, Tomm.

[badcrumble]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

What about the alterations to the sound mix?

[brandonh83]

YES THANK YOU TOMM

whew I'm so glad they informed us before I had to do something drastic like exchange the PS3 version for the 360 version. really dodged a bullet there.

[Y2Kev]

What will the patch fix?

[Combichristoffersen]

Wait, is Roland Stiles Tomm Hulett, or where did that message come from?

And why did this game ship broken to begin with?

[Wario64]

I came in for the thread title. Well, before when it said DO NOT BUY PS3 VERSION

[DemonNite]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

and what about the changes in audio for both platforms?

oh? not important to you guys?

[kyo_daikun]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

What will the patch entail?

[Cisce]

Is it bad that I'm now calling Amazon to un-cancel my order?

And I would've gotten away for it if it wasn't for that meddling Tom. >:(

[Audioboxer]

Remember Skyrims first PS3 patch? Also are we going to see more stuff removed from the game to improve the framerate?

Finally, you simply do not remove sirens from SH games.

[wonderland]

i want this on my vita!

[Oscilet]

Don't panic - PS3 being patched shortly. -Tomm

Ah, nice.

[Mileena]

"Don't cancel your order or tell other gaming sites."

[TheVampire]

What a complete mess.


DONT THEY AT LEAST TEST IT ON A FEW RANDOM PS3'S BEFORE GOING INTO MASS PRODUCTION??

[Typographenia]

Wait, is Roland Stiles Tomm Hulett, or where did that message come from? And why did this game ship broken to begin with?

It's Tomm, check his post history.

[kyo_daikun]

Translation: "Don't cancel your order or tell other gaming sites." -Tomm

Haha, yea not going into detail feels like damage control

[Persona7]

What were all the delays for if not for making sure the game is at least semi-acceptable?

I was going to exchange it for the 360 version but I am just going to take that 40 bucks and buy some DS games. This is just unacceptable.

[DMeisterJ]

Ahh. PS3 SH HD owners got Skyrim'd.

All the way down to the 'don't panic, we're making the game playable' thought process from the developers. So I guess in 2-3 months this should be a playable game for them.

[GotchaForce]

Saw these on SHH... Textures that are worse I can take, certain graphical effects missing is pushing it, but missing or changed audio (excluding voices)???? Why would they even want to do such a thing?

Is this 360, PS3 or both?

[Fantastical]

Don't panic! We just knowingly shipped a broken game without telling our customers we will patch it after it releases.

[Y2Kev]

Skyrim'd on a ps2 port

[brandonh83]

Ah well, I had Homecoming on 360 anyway so now I have all three of them on the same console. Just glad that you guys who still have it on PS3 or are getting it will be getting a patch.

[Combichristoffersen]

It's Tomm, check his post history.

Oh. That's nice. Certainly hope the patch will fix the PS3 version. I really want to get the HD Collection, but I can't justify knowingly paying for a broken game.

Or maybe Tomm can sell me a PAL copy of SH2 Director's Cut for PS2 :p

[WickedLaharl]

Well if this patch happens soonish and actually works I could end up paying nothing lol

[Skullkid]

Why does this game have a 5+ min long install on the PS3? I'm sitting here waiting for it to finish.

[brandonh83]

5 minutes? lucky, mine was like 10.

[Audioboxer]

Is this 360, PS3 or both?

All the graphical/sound changes apply to both, it's just the PS3 port has really bad technical issues on top with framerate.

[kyo_daikun]

Don't panic! We just knowingly shipped a broken game without telling our customers we will patch it after it releases.

But it has releaseded.... in America at least, europe has yet to feel the pain which is why the patch comment has appeared I assume before word gets around.

[Roland Stiles]

I'm upset too guys.

The patch fixes the synch/framerate/sound issues in the PS3 version. If you don't like the arranged music, turning off 5.1 should revert to classic (regardless of Voice selection).

Patch should be up shortly--sorry I don't have an exact date. But it'll be days/week as opposed to months.

Try not to enjoy RE too much in the meantime : /

(This post is the opinion of Tomm personally and does not reflect Konami or its partners)

EDIT:(issues won't be present in EU release)

[Persona7]

The EU version was delayed again to March 30th, I wonder if they knew this was broken before hand and tried to delay it in time for a patch.

[Typographenia]

G-Fex didn't even remember having an install. Curious!

[Levito]

Add me to the list of people that bought the PS3 version and immediately noticed stuttering and lag, oh man this is disappointing. I hope that patch comes soon Tomm!



Also, I believe the audio changes are only present in the "new voice acting" section.

Good to hear. I'll wait for the patch then.

Edit: Wait, the issues won't be in the EU release? How does.. what? How? Now I'm getting curious. Are you fixing the game before it releases next Friday?

Thanks, Tomm. I hope you guys are able to hammer it out quickly, for everyone's sakes.

Were these issues not noticed before release or is it only certain PS3's being effected?

At least RE isn't a PS2 game up ported running badly ;)

[brandonh83]

I'm upset too guys.

I'm too pleased with Downpour to stay mad at you guys. :(

thanks for letting us know about it regardless. also, why is it that the original sound mix can only be heard without 5.1?

Thanks for the update.

I'll be getting this in the EU so I hope this patch works out.

it sounds like the people responsible for the new mix did a lazy job and missed out certain effects (pitch, reverb etc...) or did a different sound entirely

Can you fix Downpour while you're at it?

[Somnium986]

Hmm, guess I'll wait it out now. :lol Almost done with SH2 anyway. I really hope the patch comes out in days as opposed to weeks. I really wanna play this to death AGAIN, as soon as possible. >:[

G-Fex's stream hasn't been nearly as bad as some of the other footage. It looks like it's more of a case-by-case thing, or something wacky is going on.
Either way, glad it's being addressed.

Hmm that's what I was thinking, tho Brandons footage made me want to punch my monitor..

As said tho glad they are on it and will purchase when its released in europe with the issues ironed out.

So, the EU release is getting the patch on the disk? The disks haven't been printed yet or have these PS3 issues been known for awhile? The EU versions comes out in ten days.

How about re-issuing the NA release with the patch on the disk.

[Somnium986]

So is this patch just going to fix the issues with SH2? Has anyone played a good portion of SH3(PS3) to give any impressions?

Thank you for responding to this thread Tomm, and thank you for not brushing this off as the usual "Silent Hill Fan Rage" you're so often blasted with.

[Audioboxer]

Can anyone here with the game check the sound differences with 5.1 off?
