Yeah, it'll never get fixed properly. Glad I didn't hold my breath on this one. Silent Hill Vita was probably finished a few months ago but they're holding it for some damage control due to the HD fiasco.
I'm officially done with Silent Hill.

For a moment I thought the Zohar was rising from the lake.
Actually, it's a reflection from my monitor. I probably should have turned it off before taking the pictures. Regardless, your photo made me laugh way more than it should have.

Based on what I've played so far in Silent Hill 3 post-patch, it's still a garbage port. I wasn't expecting much with a patch anyway. However, the performance and voice-synching seem much better.

I also thought that I'd add that James Sunderland still has a serious limp problem when running.

Wasn't that only with the new voices?

that was my understanding, but when i get around to a replay, i was hoping to try those out. that sound though...that'd mess me up if it was as prevalent as i recall it being.

Probably busy preaching how everyone are just hating on the new SH stuff released the last many years because it wasn't made in Japan.
It's not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. It got more blocky shadows and apparently a bit less thick fog (not as bad as the collection at all) but running the SH2 in 1080p is fucking awesome, not a bad way to play the game at all.
In the world of games a turd can be transformed into a diamond with enough patching.
Shame they didn't pull it off though...
Had to bump this thread too for this:

Thanks for the link. It's a good reminder for people still considering the collection thinking "it's probably not too bad". This collection is so messed up.
Should probably also mention that they completely spoiler both games in that video. So only watch it if you completed both games before.

Really? I bought the collection as a Silent Hill virgin and really enjoyed my time with 2.
Yet to play 3, but I didn't have any issues with the game whatsoever.

Anymore updates on the way?

They cancelled the patch they promised for the 360 version, so..
A bunch of stuff is really bad if you compare it to the original games. I guess if you play it for the first time it won't bother you as much.
But in comparison the originals are a lot better.

Holy crap, I'm glad somebody finally showed what was wrong with this port. That is very disappointing

Well yeah, but it's wrong to say that the HD remakes are bad games. If it's your only way of experiencing Silent Hill then I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a shot.

That's crappy.
But only if you really really have no other way. I recommend watching the whole video when you're finished with SH3.
Also, going purely by performance SH3 seems to have a lot more issues (at least on PS3).

How bad is the 360 version? I never finished 2 before my PS2 got stolen ages ago, and never touched 3 and want to give them both a shot.
If I'm itching for some survival horror, what are my other options on 360? Are the other SH games garbage?

Konami only patches games called Metal Gear.

I believe it Kojima Productions who actually does the patching nice try thugh, if Kojima was handling the port I am sure it would have been perfect since he is obsessed with perfection...
Dear lord, this is worse than what I could ever imagine!! (Nice video btw, thanks for the link...)

Kojima's budget comes from Konami.

Same. I still want to try the HD versions before abandoning all hope, though. People tend to over-exaggerate online, but this does seem pretty low-end.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The 360 version is .. ok at best .. the PS3 version had way more bugs and issues, the patch this topic is about mostly brought it up to the same shittyness as the 360 version. Not a good port job either way though. SH3 is a much better port than SH2 (new voice acting notwithstanding).
On 360 you can also try ..
- Fatal Frame 1 & 2 (via backwards compatibility, both games work great, no frame drops or weird glitches)
- Alone in the Dark (shitty)
- Deadly Premonition (Amazing, but in all the different ways)
- Silent Hill Downpour (some people on GAF love it, some absolutely hate it, I thought it was an average game at best).
- Amy (ambitious XBLA game that has some reaaaaaaaaaal shitty control problems).
probably a few more.

Holy shit, that's painful to watch (I mean the video is great, but what Konami did to SH 2 and 3...). HD collection is a bigger dissaster than I thought.
Holy crap... did they fix any of these major sound issues? The missing effects and cues alone make the collection a no-buy.

They fixed some of them in the PS3 version, but 360 owners are shit out of luck since Konami cancelled the patch for the 360 version.

Which is shitty when you see that MS gives them the first patch for free. So they wouldn't fix a broken game for free but will pay to patch a game that works perfectly fine (MGS4)

L4D like Downpour.
As much as i found these two guys obnoxious in the past (and to a degree, in this video too) this was incredibly detailed and eye opening.
Wow.

Silent Hill 2 HD is the lesser of the two evils, and was before the patch too. It's still not a very good port, though.
