Sony's PS3 has seen its fair share of HD Collection releases over the past couple of years -- here's four that could have done with an extra coating of spit and polish.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.
Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.
Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.
silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.
for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
GF365: "Silent Hill 2 is the sequel to 1999's Silent Hill, and it was released in 2001 by Konami. Here's why Silent Hill 2 is one of the best survival-horror games of all time."
i played a couple of months ago for the first time.
i agree that its a great survival game, but i think the minute u realise you can "kill" them, its takes alot of the initial fear out of it.
the same thing happened to me in Siren Blood Curse.
but its definitely one of the best games, when you start looking into the lore and the symbolism
Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.
I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it
The Humble Capcom Summer 2022 Bundle just launched. It features games like Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry 5, Street Fighter V, and more.
sincerely: all of them were disappointing. will not buy any more hd collections in my life.
The Prince Of Persia collection is terrible too
I don't think they were all terrible. The Sly Collection was pretty nice, save for having to exit the entire game to choose a different episode. By itself, Chaos Theory HD was fun. Same thing with Blood Money HD. But as a collection, they weren't really worth it. Better to just buy them separately off the PSN.
Also, The ICO/Shadow of The Colossus HD Collection was fantastic. Really improved both games visually, and technically.
i can die a happy man if i can get a proper Onimusha HD collection, now that Kingdom Hearts is getting one. I'd perfer if they did all 4 games on 1 disc (1, 2, 3, DOD) but i'd settle for 1 and 2 then 3 and DOD
The Silent Hill HD Collection was the first HD Collection I ever bought, and it almost put me off HD Collections for good. Not only was it not even a collection (2 games don't constitute a "collection" imo), but they were so heavily edited that they barely even resembled the original games. :(
