Aside from that there's minor annoyances or nitpicks that fans like myself will catch, but most people wouldn't.
They added "Konami Present" in the opening which causes the rest of the intro to be out of sync to the musical accompaniment.
Then you have misspelled names and bugs that feature a lack of... well, bugs!
Add to that, some features have been removed that were present on earlier copies of Substance and Subsistence.
MGS2 for copyright reasons have taken out the skateboard game.
With MGS3 in particular they lack most of the content on the second disc. Secret Theater was removed. Another copyright issue has meant Snake vs. Monkey had to be taken out. The original Metal Gear Online is understandable to an extent (MGS4's MGO is shutting down) but to remove boss survival is upsetting. "Snake's Nightmare" from the campaign was also taken out along with the hilarious codec conversations that followed it despite trailers showing specific scenes of it in HD.
These however are minor in contrast to Silent Hill. For one, the European glitch happens by doing a specific task on a specific location. With SH:HD the glaring problems are constant all over even though I personally never had to restart my game despite them. There was a patch for Peace Walker, however it was a universal one so PS3 users in North America who had the option to return to the menu and select another game have the feature removed from Peace Walker only. Reason for that was laziness because Peace Walker HD was sold separately in Japan where as in North America and Europe the game is included with MGS 2 and 3. You're also only getting two SH games where as MGS has three main MGS titles along with the two original MSX Metal Gears that were added with MGS3. That's five metal gear games. So of course I'd choose that over Silent Hill.
The sad thing here is I gave the HD Collection a chance. I was not impressed with the idea of new voice work, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt when they added the original SH2 actors back in and said they couldn't for SH3. I could even get over a few bugs and some minor frame rate drops since Downpour proved to be entertaining despite its technical shortcomings. What I cannot believe is that the HD collection was constantly delayed, and for what? Laziness in its final release.
