The great HD port was Okami, where it’s clear that HexaDrive, the studio given the responsibility of porting a great, unsung classic, took that legacy seriously. Okami HD is a game that cleans up the original version, adds in Move functionality that apes the Wii release, with sharper graphics that never fail to meet—and sometimes exceed—the standards set by the original.
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.
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
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just launched three new digital sales that offers steep discounts on various combat, family, and free to play games for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, including many Xbox 360 games right now!"
I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.
I would like El Shaddi, Afterburner Climax, and outrun 2 please. I am sure that there are other games as well but those came to mind for me right now.
Silent Hill HD is a prime example of how to do a shitty HD port. i'm actually on the fence about the budokai HD collection for one they changed the soundtracks for each games which is bull but they also failed to even include budokai 2. what kind of budokai collection is that, if i want something remastered in HD then it means i want everything intact. the only REAL changes there should be is graphical updates.
EDIT: btw i always wanted a HD port of indigo prophecy GREAT FREAKING GAME MAN
I just bought Okami HD, never played Okami before and am still very early on in the game but while playing it last night there was one word that I couldn't get out of my mind and that word was 'perfection'. I'm not the type to declare something 'tha best gaem evurr!!!' after playing a few hours but honestly, after playing a few hours of this game and searching for a single flaw I cannot find one. It's literally stunning.
I recently picked up the Silent Hill collection too. While I didn't play Silent Hill 2 on its original release either, I did do enough YouTube research into how the game should look and how the collection had screwed the pooch and I have to say, after installing the patch and turning the brightness down 2 notches it looks fine and plays great. Obviously that doesn't excuse the shoddy state of the original release but anyone worried about buying the collection (on PS3 at least) can relax. The patch really seems to have cleared up all the issues.
Its a fantastic HD port full native 1080p and 60 fps! I really hope Konami patch ZOE HD on Ps3!
Every one of Sony's HD remaster collections have been nothing less than stellar and you can tell they put the effort in to bring back classics, and are reasonably priced. Trust them to set the standard. You can only say the same about select third party games from third party companies. I'd say Sega have done a pretty fine job too.
I'm actually surprised at Capcom for how well they did with the fantastic Okami. what isn't surprising is the price they're charging.
