It'd be faster to list what went right:

they got back the original SH2 cast after enough fans complaining

>studio takes the time to record new lines of dialogue
>fans complain because it wasn't the old, disjointed shitty VA

Could this be the point at which Konami gave up on its consumer base?

They also signed away their rights for a shitty port no one wanted. What a fucking waste.

Not even worth a (you)

>gives you the choice between genuine conversation and awkward script reading
>fans still complain
>fans wonder why Konami pulled out

I can't wait to Homebrew my buddy's PS3 so I can run the ISO for this series. I started with Silent Hill but lost my PC to shenanigans.
Is there anything I should know about the games before I start again?

>Genuine conversation
The original
>awkward script reading
Nu-anime voices

Glad you agree.

Most of the things fans complained about were either fixed in patches, or minutia like "muh original VA".

The game has some slowdown when using the SMG in 3 and the fog is toned down in certain areas, but beyond that the games play exactly the same as their PS2 counterparts.

>years later, Silent Hill purists are still this obnoxious

I'm not gonna touch the collection, I'm going to play he ripped .ISO after finding them. I've seen what's in store for me on the collection, and I can't patch them on console

Play the PS2 versions.
is full of shit. The patches they did fixed some things and broke other things. Overall, you're still getting a broken, garbled mess of the originals.

If you need a movie describing why you should avoid this trainwreck watch part 1 and 2 of this review: youtube.com/watch?v=wya4XhTPMcc&t

>Mary McGlynn admits she wasn't right for the role of Mary
>Heather doesn't sound like a teenager
>Laura is an old woman pretending to be a child
>Patroklos doesn't revel in other people's suffering like he's supposed to

It misses every nuance and in Silent Hill, it fucking counts. I'd pay for a good collection like the MGS collection or the DMC collection, but I'm not supporting Comic Sans half-ass work like you are.

The people behind it.

>I payed full price for a literal unfinished mess and need to justify my purchase

It's also funny when you realize Silent Hill threads go off far better than others in terms of discussion. There's always the PC ports infographic poster and everyone talks about how great the games are.

Only James va wasn't great and even then it's uniqueness made up for the actors badness. That's like replacing the actors in a classic movie with Tom cruise, maybe he's technically a better actor then whoever you replace but it's cemented in people's memories a certain way

Really? Most people are quick to jump on Angela as the worst voice actor. James sounds pretty fucking natural. Then again, Angela's character isn't supposed to sound natural since she's obviously disturbed.

Best way to play these digitally without emulating?

Angela's VA gets top tier in the last chunk of the game.

I haven't heard that much, personally I love Angela's character and voice acting. Although it's true never in a million years would a teen sound like Angela

Yeah, but it was intentional that she isn't supposed to sound or even look like she's 17.

I wouldn't change a thing in any game. They were fine the first time, and Silent Hill 1's VA is just endearing.

>58.23 minutes
>part one

I did say it was a movie, didn't I?

>too stupid to just rip the game from a disc
>use some shitty alpha build instead

I know it's intentional but it really was too much of a stretch. If anything they should've gone for Angela being the age she looks and sounds like, a late 20s woman, that was never able to grow up properly hence her still blurting things out like momma.

They got a studio that makes mobile games to do it

i have this for 360 and you can choose orig acting or new acting. soooo, if that's the only complaint, it was already fixed

There are many, man more complaints.

wow my apologies gentlemen i was clearly wrong about annoying SH purists

Of course there are, it's the Silent Hill "community".

Have 2 hours worth of complaints. Silent Hill 3 also doesn't give you the option for old voices and the 360 version also got no patches. Have fun playing the worst possible version of these games.

>He's still defending an early access game

such as? i really only played it for about 15 mins before turning it off. played it enough already back when. impulse buy

Fuck you guys konami dindu nuffin wong

already played the origs' enough to have had my fill of them

Wish I could find the infographic, though the videos posted go over it. Although they're far, far too lengthy.
Basic gist is that they based it off of unfinished builds of SH2 and 3.

Best, most accurate way to play them is emulate the ps2 versions. Even the PC ports with the fixes still have some inaccuracies compared to the ps2 version.

I'm glad Silent Hill is dead so hopefully they never try this shit again.

Maybe homebrewing a PS3, seems to be the only option. What the hell do you mean by digitally?

tl;dr: everything.

>Is there anything I should know about the games before I start again?
Yeah: Do NOT play the "HD" "Collection" versions!
Also, the series ends at SH4. Nothing else comes afterwards.

Play the games in the release order, and never on some casual easy/beginner mode. Replaying them all a few times is recommended.

Shut up baldie

I haven't played any of he enters in the series yet, but I have the first game and the third game's OST downloaded and love the absolute fuck out of them. Reminds me of Drakengard

ah. well good thing it was a 5$ impulse buy. was just feeling nostalgic

psn, steam whatever

Retard alert. The collection is aids user. Stop spreading lies.

Nothing wrong with playing on easy mode the combat is the only bad part of the games.

People born AFTER these games were released are allowed to post here now. Let that sink in. These faggots are way too hooked on trying to fit in.

I remember when I was underaged on this site I lurked for 3 years until making my first post in 2008 and remember it getting archived. Genuine discussion of videogames people have actually played is almost impossible to tell since they refuse to speak about the games mechanics and probably just watch their favorite YT celebrity review or Let's Play it.

What's your problem with emulating?

What has he said so far that's been wrong? I'm a consumer and I expect the product to function and be quality. They cared so little for the sound design someone standing on the left side of the screen have their audio come out of the right speaker. If they can't even put in the effort to make a decent product, I'm not giving them any money. Simple as that.

it's fucking amazing that there are STILL people who missed the outrage towards this literal blunder of the century that is the SH's "HD" Collection.

For the tip of the iceberg explanation why to avoid that shit, see If you want more in-depth analysis and review, look up the TwinPerfect's TWO HOUR LONG video set on the thing.

tl;dr: graphics were downgraded, effects are missing, audio and music is fucked up beyond repair, new voice actors are terrible and ruin characters and plot points, plus the overall performance and STABILITY of the ports are simply but pathetic. And to add salt to the wound, the porting team's artists apparently considered Comic Sans to be a totally OK font to use in these games.

For the first time in years, I replayed Silent Hill 4. Have to say, I really didn't like it. What's done well is interesting, but the gameplay is just flat out poor. Am I wrong here? The trilogy is phenomenal , but 4 was just over the line for me.

>entitled
Show me a single post in this thread that is entitled

>we need the shitty baits to keep sh threads alive now
stop it guys

It makes me feel bad
those dont look legal

The wish house sign in SH4 was comic sans, though. IIRC

>hd "collection"
>only includes 2 and 3

>Nothing wrong with playing on easy mode the combat is the only bad part of the games.
it really is not, and having trouble with the combat would make you way worse player than some literal 10 year olds and girls. Even 10yo girls.

The difficulties in SH games change a lot more than just enemy numbers or HP. For example, in SH2, you can LITERALLY not die to anything but certain bosses on the Beginner mode.
Ignoring that, I will say it out right: dying should be a real threat and a punishment in horror games.

You're not wrong. It's the worst entry in the Team Silent series. I'll play it once in awhile but I certainly don't care much for the gameplay.

>"collection"
>only includes 2 games

So basically you want to know if you can buy Silent Hill on steam. No, you can't.

What about playstation store or xbox store? Or maybe directly from them?

>those dont look legal
The OG games are literal abandonware at this point. You can literally not buy legit copies from anywhere any more, and used copies go for fucking 200 bucks on Amazon and Ebay for said reason.

Plus the old dev team is long gone, Konami does not care of the IP or vidya at all... yada yada. Just grab them and enjoy the REAL, UHD quality versions of these classics.

they didn't have the source code lmfao konami

There's no way you can legally support the series anymore. Not to mention, there's no point in trying because the series is dead and NEEDS to die.

It's not worth giving Konami your money when Team Silent has long left Konami.

Difference of opinion I guess but to me the combat in SH is the most boring aspect of the game and I'd skip it if I could. I'm not bad at it, it's just boring

>What about playstation store or xbox store?
Nope, and no.
Like said: SH1-4 are not available for modern systems, at all.

And there's that sorry excuse, again.
Friendly reminder that the BluePoint studios, the great team behind the great HD ports like MGS & GoW HD Collections, did NOT use any sort of source codes. Instead, they took retail PS2 discs, and reverse-engineered all of the OG data out of them.

Guess I just wont be able to enjoy this series, thanks anyway user

>they chose not to put SH4 in it

They needed a way to re-release SH2 without drawing too much attention

You can probably buy the HD collection digitally but the HD collection fucking blows. You obviously can't buy the ps2 versions digitally.

im not making an excuse nigger

I ask you to reconsider, but if you're that much of a moralfag I admire your conviction and bid you farewell.

>to me the combat in SH is the most boring aspect of the game and I'd skip it if I could.
But that's already possible, even recommended, and does not require you to play on casual babby modes that make enemies move in literal slowmotion and you yourself invincible. Just turn off the flashlight, and start sneaking or running like a madman.

Though I'd be the one to say that bashing Nurses' heads with the Firehammer never gets old.

>I'm too much of a whiteknight moralfag that cares about soulless mega corporation, that has been buttfucking its developers since mid-00s and keeping their IPs hostage, to play some of the greatest video games ever created
FTFY.
Just look up used PS2 console and the games if it makes you feel better. You're still not supporting the Team Silent in any way.

I just checked and it isnt on psn
It just really makes my stomach turn whenever I emulate, I want to play these games along with many other gems but it just hurts to emulaate or play them in such a way

Play the PC versions. No emulation required.

What if the used copies dont work? I just wish this damn collection was good, at least silent hill 1 is on ps3 digitally
Will I be giving konami money?

>It just really makes my stomach turn whenever I emulate,
Why emulate, when there are LEGIT PC VERSIONS??
You just cannot BUY them anywhere brand new any more.

Nothing went wrong the new silent hill was always just this reality in which silent hill is over.
Its just too meta for you to get ;P
.... :(

He's laughing at konamis incompetence, not making an excuse for the port teams lack of skill.

No, because they don't deserve you money. Not now, anyway.

Why would you include only the 2nd and 3rd games in a collection when the 3rd is a direct sequel to the first?

>What if the used copies dont work?
What if new copies don't work? It has happened, and it could be argued that the "HD" collection indeed does NOT work. It's so bad, even the original creators of the games HATE it. Pic very related

>Will I be giving konami money?
No, and at that point you really should not. They're not the ones who made the games.

My little brother is like this. Go steal some sock from Walmart and stop being a little bitch

Because originally, it was meant to be JUST a remaster of SH2, only for PS3.
Then, the project became a multiplatform release.
Next, out of "fan's wishes", Todd threw in a bone in form of SH3 HD.

But at that point, no more games would've fit on a single Xbox 360's DVD, plus Hulett considered 4 to be "too controversial" to be worth their time, and remastering SH1 to be literally impossible.

tl;dr: more proof of the guy's and his team's incompetence

They just wanted to make sure that its status of worst remaster ever made would stand the test of time

Just emulate them, Kenshiro-kun, no one will get raped or killed over it. I am 200% the developers themselves would recommend you download them if you could.

I don't get why.

Same thing happened with no MGS1 in the 360 MGS collection.

But am I giving them my fucking money man? I want to support them and pay for the product
Why not? they are giving me what I want
I know about all that, watched a bunch of videos of how bad the hd collection is for months. I really want to play this series and resident evil but I feel like my cock is in a knot
I stole gummy worms out of a bag from pathmark once, and to this day I regret it and feel bad when I look back on it even though that pathmark is no longer there
I rather the actual devs tell me it is ok, that would make it much easier for me
Just something that hurts me whenever I think about it

Konami's incompetent as fuck, alright, but they're not the only major studio that has not held on to their source codes for decades. Capcom, Square ... most Japanese teams in fact have had to deal with the fact that the OG project files were lost or scrapped on purpose years ago, simply because nobody in 1990s even thought of people wanting to release the same games again, with a bit fancier coat of paint.

And even ignoring all that jazz, it is important for people to know that the "lol they lost teh source-code!" is not the one and only excuse that explains why the SH HD Collection is garbage. A lot of it has to do with decision choices done on purpose, either by Konami themselves, or by Tomm Hulett.

the 360 and PS3's HD Collections are identical, and only have MG1-2, MGS2-3 + PW.
It wasn't before PS3's exclusive Legacy Collection that we got a set that has all of the HD Collection's games + MGS1 and 4.

>Wanting to support Konami
Just don't play the games, user.
You're not going to enjoy them if you can't even consider things outside of your comfort zone.

Holy shit you fucking sperg. If you want to pay for the product that bad, your only options are to buy a used PS2 and games, buy the HD collection and a ps3, or buy used PC copies. That's it!

>But am I giving them my fucking money man? I want to support them and pay for the product
No, and you really should NOT support nu-Jewnami at all. Not after they literally kicked out both Team Silent and Kojima, keeping their IPs hostage while doing nothing but Patchislot machines with them.

>Why not? they are giving me what I want
They are not. You must've been living under a rock.

>I really want to play this series and resident evil but I feel like my cock is in a knot
You don't even have balls, so why would you have a dick? Just grab the games and play. You can LITERALLY not support the original team in any other way than by hunting down the OG members and giving them a big pile of dosh, in person. Which I'd much rather do than give a single cent to Konami.

>I rather the actual devs tell me it is ok, that would make it much easier for me
not really the same thing, but even Konami themselves APOLOGIZED for the HD Collection years ago, giving people some free games "in return". Heck, the 360 version is still literally unpatched after nearly 10 years! Not that the "patched" PS3 version would still be any "good"; practically all these infographs and reviews are of it.

I just bought MGS Legacy collection and MGSV Definitive edition physically so am I giving Konami my money?

>It just really makes my stomach turn whenever I emulate, I want to play these games along with many other gems but it just hurts to emulaate or play them in such a way

The actual devs are
A. Working in the Pachinko mines so even if you do find a way to legally purchase these games they will receive none of it.
or
B. Not working at Konami anymore so thus they again receive none of it.
If you find a way to legally support this series your money will go into a hole, it won't help the people who made it, and it won't fund future endeavors with this series. It would be the equivalent of getting lighter fluid and burning your money.

If you still feel squeamish about not wanting to give money to a megacorp who couldn't give a fuck (because they literally are bathing in Pachinko money) then just don't play them.
