Not necessarily. Out of the non-traditional SH games (SH: Orphan 1 and 2, SH: Shattered Memories, SH: Arcade, SH: The Escape, SH: Play Novel) the Orphan games were the only ones I played and enjoyed. Arcade was only released in EU and Japan, Play Novel was only released in Japan (and it was utter shit), The Escape was initially only released in Japan and later ported to iOS, and Shattered Memories was terrible as far as I'm concerned.
Doesn't help much either that I find Diablo to be dreadfully boring, so making Diablo Hill doesn't look appealing to me in any way, shape or form.

HD collection - Buy if the original VA is available on BOTH games.
Vita - Fuck multi player garbage bullshit in my Silent Hill. Nobody should buy this so Konami can eat shit and die. Both Silent Hill and MGS deserve to go to other better companies.
Downpour - Buy if they take out those stupid on screen button prompts and helpful tip bullshit.

The saddest part is probably how Tomm Huelett is talking about it "oh and yes and a very special monster with a big sword will make a return" or something similar in the announcement video, just sickening to listen to. This is of course also the guy that thinks my chemical romance - mama is a good fit for silent hill and calls people who don't like the korn song in SH narrow minded, so it's hard to have too much faith in anything silent hill related under his control, no matter how many times he claims "i'm such a big SH fan, guys!".

Licht has already shown that he is pretty damn capable of making some great atmospheric music and I haven't seen anyone saying anything close to what you are saying here, no Yamaoka is a huge loss but I think they have come out of the situation well, hiring Korn however... Yeah fuck you konami.

Doubt the tips will go away but you can tick off button prompts in options.
Lime said:
Yeah sure, was just pointing out that it wasn't like the PS2 version was missing those things. But yeah the PS2 version does look a good bit worse :
Recent change or something? When they showed it off, it had James and Heather and whatnot.Spiegel said:

They aren't, but one thing that's always important to remember is that there are two distinct modes that WayForward operates under: Pay The Bills and Passion Projects. BoM does not look like a Passion Project.

Nah that has always been the case. Some journalists or what not just got clever and tried to remake the old characters and some journalists got confused when they got to play it.

I was thinking more along the lines of SH2, SH4, and SH:SM, but sure that works too.Combichristoffersen said:
Oh, right, everyone here still treats Tomm as the big-bad-ruining-silent-hill-forever guy. Sorry, I'll go back to hating him and everything he touches like everyone else does.WoodenLung said:

Oh there's a lot of people who has ruined silent hill, but he is the guy being a big troll about it everywhere. It's hard not to hate him with all the bullshit he lets out.

SH2 wasn't really very 'different' though. SH4 was, and it definitely suffered from it (even if I liked the game, despite all its flaws). SH: SM.. yeah, no.

Fixed that for you.Ridley327 said:
To be fair, I don't think it's possible to "handle the fans" in a way that won't cause back-lash.
SH2 not different from SH1? They shared a common location and gameplay style, but that's pretty much it.Combichristoffersen said:
SH4 definitely had its flaws, but it had a solid story and tried something that shook up the formula. I would still say it was a success, personally.
Oh... so you're one of those people? : (
People that like SH and don't like SM makes me sad.

If you're referring to the story, I'll give you that. SH2 was more psychological horror than SH1. I was talking about the gameplay.
SH4 was OK. Funny thing is, I had far more sympathy for Walter than whatshisname guy you played as. Also, limited inventory, unkillable ghosts and forcing you to go through the same locations twice just made for a not very pleasant experience. The story was kind of forgettable too, much due to the main character being completely bland and forgettable himself. Still, I liked the game for what it was.
I liked the story in SM, but that's about the only good thing I could say about the game.
The last original SH game I really cared about was 0rigins. Homecoming was just plain bad, and Downpour looks like more of the same, now with 100% more Korn.

Konami's just a horrible mess in general now-a-days. It's really sad to see, but that's how it goes, I guess.
edit:
SH2 had different tone of music, different visual design, no relation to the cult stuff, an escort npc, and hardly any red (yeah, I still think that matters).Combichristoffersen said:
SH4, yeah, but that's going to happen when the game is focused on Walter. It was his story, after all!
You have a limited inventory, people complain. You have an unlimited inventory (SH:O) and people complain. They really just needed to fix the way it was used more than anything.
: (
Okay... You are free to feel that way about SM, but it still will make me shed a tear every night, before I fall asleep.

Oh man, that would be a really great thing to happen. Then I could own it on even more platforms, mwahahahaha! Still don't plan on getting a Vita, though.

I don't think the unlimited inventory in 0rigins was the problem, it was more that the game simply gave you far too many weapons to make up for the fact that weapons were breakable (which sucked in both 0rigins and SH4). Lugging around two drip stands, three file cabinets and a couple of typewriters (in addition to the firearms and regular melee weapons) at the end of 0rigins was a bit WTF. Also, the final boss in 0rigins was just a massive disappointment. The earlier bosses had been pretty cool, very Silent Hill-ish in design, and then comes the final boss; the most generic, red cartoon demon imaginable. Son I am disappoint.

Origins was a major disappointment to me anyways, since it's my least favorite. I don't know why people always hate the idea of Travis carrying around all those things, since SH2 had it possible to carry around multiple types of melee weapons, guns, a chainsaw, and a huge sword.
In origins, all you need are your fists and then a gun for the boss fights.
But, yeah, glad it has been fully confirmed and all that they're coming out then. My wallet won't be happy with them that close together, but whatever.

Probably a combination of the team needing more time and the whole voice acting debacle. Likely more of the time, less of VA, but yeah.izakq said:

Konami needed more time to think of how to ruin the games. I heard they wanted to replace the SH2 soundtrack with the latest Limp Bizkit album.

Aww, I thought we were getting "Silent Hill 2: Electric Boogaloo."Combichristoffersen said:

Depressing but wouldn't surprise me if they ever did something like that (lol Korn). I wish so bad whoever's involved with SH at Konami could read posts like this and respond. I wish they would just be honest and stop fucking with fans so much. Explain their rationale, are they being run by idea ball manatees.Combichristoffersen said:

I think it was Brian Gomez who was talking about how the whole Korn thing got in the works. Konami wanted a band to try and get more people to notice the game, konami made a list of bands that would want to/desperate enough for attention too that they would make a SH theme song and they ended up on Korn. So sounds like something that was just forced through and not something Vatra actually agreed on.
Calling Konami manatees is not that far from the truth I would say. The developers are also obviously frustrated at Konami constantly fucking up everything, like they will suddenly show a one year old video with things that has been dropped or changed a long time ago. Not to mention them also sending around the game to conferences without any representants or anything to tell them about the demo (that was built for another conference), so that journalists for example goes in assuming that the fighting level (there was two modes in the demo, a fight one and something that was from the game) is an actual part of the game and not just a mode in that demo to show off the fighting like it was.

Origins is still far and away the worst (canon) Silent Hill game ever made. Inconsistencies for the sake of inconsistencies,
twists for the sake of twists
That being said, it was still enjoyable for the fact that they just don't make games like that anymore. I miss the old school survival horror games ; _ ;

HD collection is as good as mine. Never played neither SH2 or 3, and have been waiting for this, the only PS3 HD collection that interests me. The rest of that release line is not relevant to me.

Didn't the 360 version help with the delay since it was originally announced as PS3-only?
