Silent Hill HD Collection |OT| Programmed in Smoke Signals
- Thread starter ULTROS!
- Start date
I can't for the life of me think of a reason why they thought that needed to be changed, even Downpour uses the original sound.
I was WTFing with the live stream when the guy picked up a health drink the first time. How did anyone think that was a good idea?

it's still a fucking awful port, be it on ps3 or 360. these latest hd remasters are starting to turn out really bad.
The team that did the ICO and Metal Gear Solid collections does an outstanding job, aside from them though....
I feel like these days I can't look at anything Silent Hill related and not be somewhat disappointed.

I don't think good ideas were a part of the gameplan from the beginning.
From the initial announcement the collection sounded bad and it's just gotten worse and worse as time has gone on. I will admit that even I didn't think it would be this bad.
So they turned it into a true HD game.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
The climbing controls in SotC are borked and shit though
That has less to do with any programming errors and more to do with it being based on the PAL version of the game.

The climbing controls were fine in the PAL version, weren't they? I can't recall the climbing controls being so completely broken and terrible when I played the PAL PS2 version.
Silent Hill has been on a downward spiral since SH4 that would make Sonic blush.
Konami needs to be legally convicted of rape at this point.
The controls are fine, but it's the physics that got changed, hence Wander flailing around more frequently than in the US version.

Maybe one day
Haha. Yeah, right. Even if it were, the other changes and glitches would still make this collection a travesty on par with mass genocide.

I see. Too bad they couldn't use the NTSC version then, as the HD Collection version was almost completely unplayable to me due to the shittastic controls and flailing.

And I'll never forgive the MGS HD team for changing confirm from O to X and exit from X to O. Fucking savages.

It was only a few minutes, but I couldn't see anything while you were without the flashlight.
Things seemed okay once you got the flashlight, but it still seemed darker than I remember it being in the ps2 version. That might just be an inaccuracy on my part, though.
The Team Ico and MGS collections were top notch, despite those extremely minor discrepancies.
This, on the other hand... I would have rather allowed Konami to rape and murder my family than release this abomination.

What,. Why? It's the most iconic sound in the series.
edit: sounds the same to me in SH2

When watching G-Fex play, it seemed like some of the other sounds were fast as well. If I recall, the lying figure's noises sounded fast.
There was a post here...it's gone now.
Check out that fog in the HD version. Amazing! :\

So not only did they port the worst version of SH2 which results in shitty fog and ugly shadows, but they actually BOTHCED that port completely and ended up with inferior textures, lots of slowdown, and various other glitches? They should have contracted BluePoint to handle this one.

I don't get it. Those games were being built on the fucking Playstation 2, and yet the Ps3 version of this HD collection is an abomination?
Its starting to become apparent that only Bluepoint can do these HD ports justice, MGS HD is excellent. Well I haven't played them, but Sly and Jak should be fine as well. Dunno who did those (Sanzaru?).
I was set to pick up this game at the 30th, but this sounds and looks bad. Might go for Orochi 3 then.

yep, i fixed it though.
No kidding. Was literally going out the door yesterday (never played a SH game before). Seriously disgusted.

tell me about it, everything after 3 was a letdown for me.
But then they would've missed out on "Silent Hill Month"
That whole "Month of Silent Hill" thing is such crap, they've done next to nothing with regards to advertising all 3 releases.
BULLSHIT.
I'm not sweeping ANYTHING under a rug. They knowingly released a 100% broken game.

Something else too... the fog in SH2 looked like square patches. In the 360 version, something about it is "better," it no longer looks like noticeable squares and something else about it seems more... organic for the lack of a better word. It's still not good, but better.
Fuck that, I am not paying money for this bullshit.
They delayed it multiple times and it seems that they knew the game was fucking broke and STILL RELEASED IT. They just pushed the EU version back ten days at the final moment so the patch would be out by the time fans in europe get this game.
What happens in ten years when someone buys a copy of this game but the servers that issue the update are long gone? They have to suffer through a broken game.
The lighting in Silent Hill 3 looks like squares as well, you can see the candles in the intro video.
I don't think anybody knows at the moment. It seems that Tomm Hulett knew this game was broken WELL before it ever came out.
Maybe Konami was pushing the development team to get this out the door, I wish some people from Hijinx Studios would talk about this.

and look what just arrived... i'm so glad I went this route. wonder how much i could find a PC copy of 2 on Ebay for.
Yeah you're right. I'd be fine with them fixing the game asap, ( what else can you do but either wait now they've replied or get a refund)but i didnt think about down the road purchases for when the next systems hit. Could they just not ship anymore of the unfixed versions?

Was going to grab this for the PS3 last night. Glad I held off. I'll wait until I hear better news - maybe. I may end up getting the 360 version but SH somehow feels "wrong" on that controller. I'll keep my eye on this thread.

Can you PM me the original item pick-up sound clip, or direct me where I could find it? I desperately want to use it as my SMS tone now. =)

Is it known who's going to be behind ZoE HD? Chances of Bluepoint since they were also behind Hideo's MGS?
Download Zedge and search "Silent Hill item sound" on your phone, that's what I did.
I don't think it's been revealed as of yet, but Bluepoint seems like a good guess.
