Silent Hill HD Collection (Import)

Product Information

However, while less demanding games such as Braid and N+ perform flawlessly, the more CPU-heavy titles do struggle, with Halo: Reach and Gears of War: Judgement singled out as games that suffer in the emulation process. Nyarlathotep - I've never been keen on mouse and keyboards for games. The only time I ever got that down was for Elite on the Amiga 600, everything after that seemed less than appropriate. Hehehe. Camera actually does me alright as I got my gammy Halo-esque setup going on there. Worth a stab though, thanks for the suggestion. a b Goldfarb, Andrew (March 1, 2012).

Because the original source code for Silent Hill 2 and 3 had not been preserved, the development team at Hijinks Studio had to work with the incomplete code provided by video game publisher Konami, which was not the code from the published games. Thus, the team had to simultaneously handle technical issues arising from porting the two games as well as those which the original development team had previously fixed; some of those problems included Heather turning blue. Furthermore, the team examined game textures that were present in the original games but not seen by the players, and highlighted them in the remaster; among the previously unseen textures and details are scratches on walls and clues to the games' puzzles. [1] Masahiro Ito, the art director for Silent Hill 2 and 3, has speculated that the games' translucent textures, such as those used for the fog, might have proven difficult for the hardware of the PlayStation 3 to handle. [6] Only SH fans have I witnessed that will proclaim they despise an entry in the series BUT STILL play it. It just boggles my mind man.In a blog post in July 2020, Microsoft said: "It's our intent for all Xbox One games that do not require Kinect to play on Xbox Series X at the launch of the console."

During the production of the Silent Hill HD Collection, senior associate producer Tomm Hulett was the target of harassment by a small portion of the Silent Hill fanbase, being blamed as the source of everything perceived as wrong in the series, including lost source code, the inclusion of new voice acting in the Silent Hill HD Collection, and that Silent Hill: Book of Memories was a dungeon crawler. [12] Release [ edit ] Silent Hill HD Collection is a 2012 video game compilation of remastered video game ports of Silent Hill 2 (2001) and Silent Hill 3 (2003) developed by Hijinx Studios for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Silent Hill 2 centers on widower James Sunderland who travels to the titular town after receiving a letter from his dead wife, while Silent Hill 3 is a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill game and focuses on Heather Mason, a teenager who finds herself in conflict with the town's cult. Both games are categorized as survival horror and share gameplay elements with each other. Published worldwide by Konami beginning with North America in March 2012, the compilation features a graphics overhaul, new voice acting, and Xbox achievements and PlayStation trophies.

Silent Hill HD Collection is a product that screams "will this do?", when it should be a loud celebration of two gaming greats. And yet in spite of all that, the games themselves have aged far better than I would have expected, their foreboding atmosphere and striking imagery as impressive now as they were over a decade ago. None of the mishaps I've described were game-ruining for me (note: I haven't played the collection on PS3, which reportedly comes off worse). But we really should expect better treatment for titles of this calibre. Nothing better sums up the sheer laziness of it all than a glaring typo scrolling past in the new credits.First off, no offence taken at all. I'm frustrated also. The game is a little different indeed, and is orientated towards fiddly and very specific timed combat. Which is shabby if you can't control it properly.

If you don't like different that's fine, but there's nothing ACTUALLY wrong with it. It works just fine. Yin-Poole, Wesley (November 23, 2011).

It was built specifically for the then-current console generation, and offers a decently engaging, somewhat modernised spin on the series' core formula. It manages a handful of memorably unnerving set-piece moments, but it does feel rather too in awe of its forebears to find its own voice, and suffers as a result. At least Konami's continued attempts to develop the series in the west did eventually give us the marvellously idiosyncratic Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

So then, Xbox One owners now have the opportunity to experience one undeniable horror masterpiece and one less dazzling, but still excellent game. Which would all be wonderful if it wasn't for the fact that both remasters in the Silent Hill HD Collection are exceptionally poor efforts, and far from the best way to sample a legendary series.a b "Silent Hill: HD Edition" (in Japanese).
