HD Collection PS3 Exclusive (Hah! 360 too) /New VAs

Hmmm....

Apparently the ComicCon trailer is a fake

Well replacing the sounds and voice actors is a big no no for me. Remastering the original scores to be clearer I would accept.

As for James's voice actor, if they jipped him so long ago and now they paid him, wouldn't that be an admittance that Konami was at fault and make them legally vunerable?

Sadly its unlikely I'll touch the remastered stuff. I have a hard enough time readjusting to Director's Cut movies (especially the Dawn Of the Dead 2004 one with the extra scenes). It tends to grate for me and make it unenjoyable.

[Rombie]

Ooh, cheers. I hadn't heard any of those tracks.

There is a new song on the trailer, what that actually means for the collection... well, who knows. Hard to tell how HD it really is off a shakey ComicCon camera, but visually it looks good.

Actually, it's not new. It's an old Silent Hill 3 era unused track that was recently released with the Silent Hill Sounds Box.

That's because the series has gone from bad to worse lately, re-releasing what most consider the best SH game along with the other good PS2 SH game would have been selling point enough for those who like these HD re-releases. Fucking with it takes that selling point away because it's no longer the same game, the nostalgia element is removed. Given that the only other release Konami has coming up soon is the MGS HD re-releases you'd think they would want to tread very carefully. I really don't get how some people can say this isn't a terrible move. Heck if they came out and said "Hey we're replacing all the voice work in the MGS-HD release" there would be blood in the streets!

[DarkMemories]

Maybe they figure that by changing so much it will be an actual selling point for the games beyond being meer remasters? Stranger things have happened, and Silent Hill doesn't rake in the dough for them the way other series do.

Speak for yourself, I will will buy these and enjoy them. "He always busted my balls, man" "Lets party!"

Brilliant writing, man.

Crazy people don't tend to be master linguists.

Unless I read that wrong and it means that she's the voice acting director and not actually in the game herself, in which case this is so far off my list now.

That's exactly what it is, she directed the new voice overs, she isn't doing new vocal work herself and her songs might not even be in the new versions now. I've always said before this release was announced that an HD re-release of the SH games from 2 onwards is pointless, with every passing statement it becomes even less pointless than i thought. Konami are getting to be as worthless as Square-Enix these days

[Darkmoon]

If they do? I know where Konami lives. On an unrelated topic, I know how to reduce a building to rubble with the ingredients of my kitchen cupboard.

[PracticalAl]

I'm confused as well. Are they remastering the OST or making a completely different one? Is it because Akira Yamaoka is a free agent now? Do they owe him money too? WTF?!.. I wonder what they'll change next.. Maybe they'll 'enhance' the game to make it more like the movies! Big breasted nurses and a female James anyone? ..

I joke and yet, I'm really dying inside..

[Darkmoon]

They're usually fairly economically sane though - panties and porn sell. Refusing to pay one guy so they decide to pay a bunch of others, unless they owe the first a fuck ton of cash, seems nuts.

And this is where we all go "...It's Japan. Home of used panty vending machines and tentacle hentai."
