Silent Hill Hd Collection Pc
There are some very questionable omissions (on an artistic / creative level) that make it inferior, but I'd wager that if you don't know any better it wouldn't be too deterimental.BUTThe games in their original forms are absolutely fantastic and perfectly honed with their presentation (both audio and visual). I'd recommend the originals over the HD remakes, but I acknowledge how hard it is to find the originals now so I wouldn't begrudge anyone for playing the HD remake.There is a two hour review of the HD collection that is pretty exhaustive with why it's not really a good remaster, but I think this 15 minute video sums it up pretty well despite the shitty captureI think the new voices are awful too, but I can't remember if Konami ended up making them optional or not.
WOOOOW.I'm not the biggest Silent Hill guy, I loved the first one when it came out but have been largely staying away from the series ever since, this is the first time I've ever seen that.That is FUCKING INSANE! What the hell happened? I know there was a lot being said about this release at launch but holy shit, why weren't people (figuratively) rioting in the streets? That is without a doubt the most egregious lack of attention I've seen in any kind of remaster or adaptation. Completely unacceptable.

Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is an ongoing project of enhancement packages that makes the PC version of Silent Hill 2 compatible with modern hardware and playable in a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, while improving visuals, audio, and bugs.

Silent Hill 3, meanwhile - which turns its gaze toward teenage protagonist Heather Mason - is a little more conventional in some ways. It favours a more traditional storytelling approach over its predecessor's all-pervasive symbolism, but it still knows how to wrong-foot its audience where it matters - the fact that Silent Hill itself doesn't show for almost half its run-time is one of my favourite tricks, making the eventual arrival of its hellish streets a perversely comforting reunion.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.Digital Foundry 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. 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.(EDIT: As noted in the comments, it seems that PS2 originals are currently 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). 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.If you've an original Xbox 360 disc copy of the Silent Hill HD Collection or Silent Hill: Homecoming, you just need to pop it in your Xbox One for the console's backward-compatibility magic to kick in.
Or, if I haven't completely put you off, both games are available to download digitally on the Microsoft Store, priced at £8.74/$10.49 USD and $19.99 USD respectively. Homecoming, for some reason, appears to be absent from the UK store.
