Honestly? Most likely cost. It was probably cheaper to hire Hijinx Studios to do the ports than to hire Bluepoint. Sadly, I don't think Konami thought of this release as much more than a quick cash grab that could be released alongside their new SH game, so they just had it made as cheaply as possible.

It was a joke.:p But yeah it's sad how this collection turned out. They really don't seem to care.

I just noticed that they made damn sure to synch the voices in those stretched low-res CGI cut scenes. :lol

Have we already ruled out that it isnt just his ps3? are other people experincing these issues? I thought that guy made a video the other day where he was playing it just fine

There at least two people ITT that have confirmed the game running like shit on PS3.

Seems like people at GameFAQs and the SH forums are experiencing awful framerates too;

Hey, can people saying, "LOLZ you should have known better than to buy a Konami product" just get lost? If you never had any intention of buying the game, why are you in this thread in the first place? I just bought a $40 frisbee. Your comments aren't helping.

Hello,

I'm so sorry that the video game you received was defective. I realize how inconvenient this is on your part.

Unfortunately, we're not able exchange the item for the Xbox 360 version because of price changes.

However, I've requested a refund of $39.96 to your credit card since the video game you received was defective.

Once processed, you'll be able to see the refund request here:

https://www.amazon.com/?tag=neogaf0e-20

As an exception, there's no need to return the defective video game. Please dispose at your convenience.

Just played the 360 version.

No slowdown in the ~10 minutes I played, and the whole brightness issue pre-release was blown 100% out of proportion. There is a brightness slider, and when you turn it all the way down, it is 98.7% dark. As usual GAF blows any- and everything out of proportion.

We're talking about the PS3 version being borked shit. The 360 version apparently runs fine.

Major technical problems are on the PS3 front. It's still a shitty port for 360 with missing shadows, certain fog, certain graphical elements and the whole VA ordeal.

edit: Seen your reply. Seems that most pre-release captures that come out these days are always too bright, or completely black crushed.

I know :( Still, would be a far better solution than shoveling this shitty PS3 port out the door, since there's no chance in Hell they're gonna bother fixing it. Or even just put up the PC versions on Steam or GOG or whatever.

We just got the PS3 version delivered - should we keep it packaged and return it?

Yes.

I'm glad I held off placing an order for this.

HOLY FUCK!!!!

360 version of SH2 HD is FLAWLESS so far. There hasn't been one discrepancy in the framerate, no stuttering whatsoever, contrast isn't nearly as dull as the PS3 version

oh my god they fucked. up. on PS3.

there needs to be a worldwide warning about this shit, even my girlfriend who was listening to me bitch about the PS3 version watched me play the 360 version and she's like uhm, is this even the same game?

OMG... this is the final nail in the coffin for me, I intended to buy this game on the cheap someday but "it's gone now".

Further confirmation that PS3 version is janked. On a slim model as well.

Worse, I own the original and a 60gb BC PS3 - but I figured the early reviews were positive, it was safe. 40 bucks well spent.

I can't even... wow. It's seriously like night and day. I don't expect the same out of Downpour, but I got it on 360 as well. Glad I didn't get very far in just yet.

There was a PS3 game here, it's gone now.

I contacted Amazon and they we will be re-routing the order back to them and refunding me for the purchase. Incredibly good phone support, got in contact with them in less than a minute.

Saw these on SHH...

i couldnt beileve they made the camera clip throught the ground during the closer scene. that just blew my mind. and the framerate. along with missing a lot of ambient music parts and rhythms/beats when encountering enemies. Lol they didnt even put the beats in when you encounter the numb bodies in the mall. So now it just sounds like nosie the whole time. like holding down the sustain petal on a keyboard.

Big fan of the industrial and ambients so i should know.

Running down the ridiculously long hallway in silent hill 2 to reach the prison under the historical society building, they removed that creepy repeating horn-like noise that plays and replaced it with weak lying figure footsteps that happen every few seconds. Thanks for ruining the mood there!

I will back up everyone's claim that there is ambient noise and music missing or changed, at least in SH3, which is unfortunate. I know the first GLARING instance of this is the opening, it no longer makes that loud distorted sound prior to You're Not Here in the attract mode.

Textures that are worse I can take, certain graphical effects missing is pushing it, but missing or changed audio (excluding voices)????

Why would they even want to do such a thing?

Because IGN will still give a 10.

GAF needs to assemble and make a huge fucking fuss about this wank port so that Kotaku create an article to produce a domino effect amongst journalists. Anyone who buys the PS3 version return to retailer and let them know it's because the game is a mess.

Wow. Go to hell Konami. I was really looking forward to finally finishing SH2 and playing SH3 for the first time but this sounds atrocious.

Man, I was going to pick this up on PS3, but I won't unless they fix these issues.

But then I shouldn't be surprised. This is Konami we're talking about. Such a horrible company.

Told you.:)

The question is, are any of the audio changes present in 2 if you use original voices?

I'm late to the thread but can anyone sum up the issues with the ps3 version and if there's any issues wuth the 360 version. Fuck sake konami i was looking forward to this on ps3 but I guess its 360.

It's a shame there seems to be so many differences between the original version and this the collection. I'll probably end up playing the games with this collection anyway, though (on 360 of course). Wish they were more faithful, though.

Nothing wrong with the 360 version, but the PS3 version has horribly choppy framerates and borked controls.

This happened to me too. I was hoping it was just the sound glitching out. Seriously, WTF?
