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

[rewak]

The games are nearly 10 years old, if you don't have compatible hardware what kind of PC do you have? They aren't demanding games to run.

Both games were released on PC, that's what i meant. Here's shots of both PC versions running 1080p, probably exactly what the re-release will look like.

Well, then my response wouldn't change. You're still hoping that you've got the compatible hardware to run it either way.

Heard about this a bit late, but I'm pretty excited. Kinda iffy on the VA thing, but then again SH2's VA wasn't exactly stellar.

hey, what resolution are those running. i get pretty good at 1280x1024 but i always have a bitch configuring my logitech to play the game. in fact My ATI is running pretty awesome with this game.

but yeah i have no PS2 and am on a budget. the only reason im getting a ps3 is its my birthday in august. so these collections might be my only chance of replaying these games since mine were stolen

What a wonderfully short sighted view

What about those who don't have a PS2? What about those without the PC hardware to emulate? What about those who DON'T already have it?

Outside of the PS2 thing... I own the games (including both the PAL Director's Cut) and I'd love it in HD. HD editions of Silent Hill will be epic. Silent Hill 3 already had high render options on the PC which the console edition was lacking for obvious reasons.

I somehow doubt the voices in SH3 will be changed, it looks like they are referring to the voice issues in SH2. But it's silly because Cihi did the mo-cap as he mentioned (some of it is shown on the SH2 making of disc), so they might as well just pay him for his work and get the thing out there as it was originally rather than hiring new actors.

I also hope they are putting the Restless Dreams edition and not just the original.

I think I'll stick to my original intention of picking up the Splinter Cell HD Collection. Least I don't run from enemies like LITTLE LITTLE COWARD MAN.

HD repackages are totally worthless anyway, just hook up a PS2 or install them on a PC and play them, why pay again for something you already have? To smooth out a few lines? Looks aren't what make a game good, the first SH looks like shit and it's still awesome.

Personally I've tried playing several PS2 games on HDTVs and they mostly look like crap to the point it detracts from the game. I don't have or want a PC to emulate them and I got tired of PC gaming years back.

But most of all, I'd happily pay for the ability to play those games without having to get my PS2 back out from being packed away and instead enjoy the easy of playing them on my PS3 without crap like memory cards and wired controllers.

HD remasters = awesome.

It's pretty disrespectful. It would be like DC Douglas voicing Wesker in the HD versions of Code Veronica and RE4...on second thought I better not jinx myself.....*knocks on wood*

[Darkmoon]

I own Silent Hill 2 and 3. I like the voice acting in both. I will not bother buying these versions when all they offer is, likely, some cheap and inferior voice actors trying to sound like the voice I've heard for the last decade. Oh, and slightly updated graphics...

This is unbelievable BS. Silent Hill 3 had awesome voice over work. It's also an insult to Richard Grosse who died shortly after the release of SH3. "No-one will be crying over my grave", damn right, Konami don't give a crap..

[Rombie]

^ This all came out of the wood work a year or so back, so he's not lying... he's not stalling for more time or to make more money one would think, because he tried contacting Konami about it several times. If he wanted more he'd be forcing it through the system now to enforce it and also make more money off the HD edition in further royalties. He's not an actor by trade, so he's probably busy with his actual work.

The fact they announced the HD editions, I'd thought they'd worked this out but clearly they haven't. Might mean a delay in the release depending on what happens next.
