After all, Hijinx Studios wasn’t competent enough to correctly port two games, let alone possess the capability to handle three. Item: 334744230796 The Silent Hill Collection - PS2 UK PAL. Comes with all 3 games, disks have minor play marks but all games have been played through to the end with no issues, please see photos for box condition. P&P is free EDIT: As noted in the comments, it seems that PS2 originals are currently a lot easier to find than they were when I last tried to replace my copy of Silent Hill 2 - although you'll obviously also need an appropriate way to play the game once you've bought it). The original Silent Hill games ran on hardware that didn't enjoy the benefits of hardware anti-aliasing and it appears that Hijinx hasn't made any effort to introduce it here. Resolution is confirmed at native 720p, but there's no evidence of any edge-smoothing as such. It's more than a little disappointing when directly compared with Bluepoint's work on the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, where both MGS2 and its sequel flowed smoothly at 60 frames per second with multi-sampling anti-aliasing adding greatly to the quality of the overall presentation.

One horrible side effect of the added audio is that the new actors struggle to match the lip movements of the characters, and as such, vocals sometimes end up horribly out of sync with the visuals. There are also times when some words have been altered or skipped entirely, the importance of which will depend on how much of a purist you are. Specifically, two lines have been rewritten while other words have been left out of certain sentences. Because nobody bothered to alter the subtitles, all the changes are as clear as day. Follow the footsteps of three who have inexplicably found their way into Silent Hill, pursued a bloody trail in an eerie mist-filled town harbouring the most unspeakable, depraved secrets... and descended into a nightmare full of mutilated fiends lurking in the shadows and fog... of which there seems no escape!

Hey, Richard's going nuts again! He lost his temper this time.""Next time will be more fun." The Residents of South Ashfield Heights Bizarrely, the same choice is not afforded to players of the remastered Silent Hill 3, where only the re-recorded voices are an option. It's a frustrating inconsistency between the two games and an inexplicable decision certain to annoy the Silent Hill fanbase. It's a shame because, in a great many other respects, the HD version of Silent Hill 3 works rather well. Konami significantly upgraded the engine in the original game, allowing for higher-quality models, improved animation and more detailed artwork.

the Great Knife in Silent Hill 2 and the katana in Silent Hill 3. While the Great Knife is only useful for one boss fight, the katana is As for Silent Hill: Homecoming, that released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2008. 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. The previous games in the series have mostly been about exploring the town and solving puzzles; this installment has much more combat involved. There are more enemies in a given area, and more narrow areas and cramped spaces. Henry mostly uses a standard Silent Hill arsenal of weapons, such as the steel pipe, pistol, and (new to this game) a golf club. The story, controls, or core gameplay mechanics have remained the same, however there have been various changes in other areas Eurogamer.net is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited.One horrible side effect of the added audio is that the new actors struggle to match the lip movements of the characters, and as such, vocals sometimes end up horribly out of sync with the visuals. Complaints have been levelled at Konami that the development studio tasked with carrying out this HD remaster doesn't have that much experience with high-profile Xbox 360 and PS3 projects, and there's certainly a feeling that the power of the current-gen platforms isn't being tapped that much here: the notion of PS2-era games requiring a 4GB mandatory install on Sony's current console rings alarm bells, and when compared to the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection in terms of frame-rate and image quality, the technical inadequacies of these Silent Hill ports are swiftly brought sharply into focus. Silent Hill 4: The Room is similar to past games in terms of atmosphere. The game is dark and foreboding, never letting the player know what's behind the next corner or down the street. This installment of the series includes multiple new features. Henry never actually leaves his apartment: he utilizes a strange portal to travel to alternate dimensions, including a hospital, a cult command center deep in the forest, and a prison. Aside from the traditional third-person-view, there is now a first-person mode, which is used to control Henry when he is in his apartment. Objects that can be interacted with are highlighted by eyeball icons. Digital Foundry exhaustively summarised the Silent Hill HD Collection's shortcomings at the time of release - but perhaps all you really need to know is that, in a series best remembered for its iconic, fog-shrouded streets, the remasters didn't even get the fog right. That said, original PS2 versions of both games are somewhat harder to come by these days, so there are limited official alternatives if you want to experience these two highlights of horror gaming. It’s been tough as a Silent Hill fan, watching Konami poison what once was the reigning champion of the survival horror genre. Even if you enjoy some of the sequels and spin-offs that have been produced over the years, there’s no denying that the credibility and prestige of the series is all but dried up.
