Game Podunk blogger, DocStrangeLove writes, "Gaming companies have realized something in the last year or so. If they update their games to support HD graphics with a few extras like trophies or concept art, they can sell their old titles to a whole new generation of console gamers! While I love the idea of being able to play newer versions of my old favorite games, I hate that I don't have a choice between the old versions and the new versions on my current gen consoles. But that is a rant for another day. Today I'm here to call out Konami and their various forms of shenanigans."
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.
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection launched in 2011, and is still the best way to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ahead of the remake.
Can’t wait to one day break that game out of the collection vault
Currently playing Snake Eater HD on CRT 16:9, via Scart RGB. Game looks great but not as clean as MGS2, but thats due to the setting. Can't wait for the remake + the next HD collection on PS5.
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
Who cares. It's not like Konami and the others are forcing us to buy their HD ported games. They DON'T own our wallets, WE, gamers DO.
Edit: Just read the whole article and I'm feeling a little stupid.
Well, the author had a point, like some of the games that started the whole series being left out.
I don't have any problems with the V/A recasting though.
These are HD collections Not Silent Hill Game collections, Whats the point of having a Ps1 game HD?? it wont make a diference these collections are for fans of these games imo, if you really wanted to play the 1st MGS or Silent hill Buy them on PSN
The guy has a point
I've been waiting a while for the HD collection of Metal Gear Solid because I knew it was an confusing story to wrap your head round and I thought that it would be better to get into the franchise with one big collection (plus with a HD make over) but is there any point in me getting the collection when the first game isn't included.
I've beaten Silent Hill 1, 2 so many times that I can't even remember. Will the voice acting in 2 change the way I feel towards the game? I guess I'll find out when it's released and I will pass judgment then.
I don't get why people keep crying about how it doesn't have silent hill 4 in it.A: It was a horrible game there was nothing really Silent Hill about it, it was easily the worst of the series.And B: It was not developed as a silent hill game it was just the room the only reason it finally got Silent hill slapped on the box was because Konami knew they would sell more copies of silent hill the room as opposed to the room. Other than that they just threw a couple of last second weak silent hill references into the game.
