They look pretty much the same, but SotC runs much smoother than on PS2. You should definitely get it if you're a fan.Screamarie said:

I do, and there's no need to fear. I have both the original Shadow of the Colossus and the HD collection. And I can tell you that the graphics and framerate have noticeably improved from the original.Screamarie said:
Geez. That looks bad. I don't know how you would mess that up.Kakulukia said:He's right to be miffed. Look at this shit:
I would like to thank Konami for giving me a reason to plug my PS2 back in. I'm definitely not buying this until those graphic and sound issues are fixed. And if Masahiro Ito is to be believed (and I think he is), they never will be.
XD Actually I wouldn't have bought it anyways. Can't stand to play scary games, the interactivity freaks me the fuck out. So that's what youtube playthroughs are for!Kakulukia said:They look pretty much the same, but SotC runs much smoother than on PS2. You should definitely get it if you're a fan.Screamarie said:

But thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I think it's been mentioned before, but if you take the PC version of SH2 and put the graphic settings to maximum you essentially get a HD version of the game.
Yikes.
That's like saying that "the Nintendo Wii is great, but when it comes to rendering sprites the NES did it better".
But to be so weak that it's worse than the PS2? Really?
Yikes.

When I noticed we only get two games in the "collection", I decided to wait until it's only around £9. After seeing the screen shots I'm not so sure I'll get it at all. Looks awful.
How does it feel being the most quoted person in the entire thread? Really, I can't understand this. When I read the article I thought it was something minor about the fog not being quite the same and the water looking too bright and joyful. The water looks like a tragedy and not the kind of tragedy that adds to the mood. The kind of tragedy when they decide to make it in paint!Kakulukia said:He's right to be miffed. Look at this shit:

It looks really crappy. I don't know how it is possible to use better hardware and end up with worse results.
Why is that silly man in the PS3 screenshot rowing a boat through snowdrifts? Does he not know that boats are for water!Kakulukia said:He's right to be miffed. Look at this shit:

Feels pretty good... After how many quotes do I get to be called an Internet phenomenon?Yopaz said:
Oh man, this is depressing. On the plus side I got to read Jim Sterling's review in which he says that Silent Hill 3 is an "intense, stressful ghost train of mind screws". Yes. Yes that sums it up nicely. I'm glad I've finally found someone who put that into words.
I don't really know what to say except: this is real, it looks this bad, Konami knew but shipped it anyway. Silent Hill: Downpour, while not abominable, was still a big let-down, and now they're confusing a new generation of players with glitchy, well-lit re-ports of the old games. Few people understand the tightly weaved mythology of Silent Hill, and now they have to figure out three sets of VAs, glitchy textures, side-stories, not being able to find SH1, etc.
If, like me, you have the original SH 1-3 (plus 4), lend them to your friends before they get the HD Collection so they can see the true beauty of these games, unchanged.

It is absolutely fantastic. It is the pinnacle of PS3 HD re-releases (for what that's worth). The best part is that the texture work and such were there anyway, but couldn't be seen on the PS2, so the HD clean-up artists really didn't change anything. Those games were the perfect candidate to be re-made in HD. It was a first-day buy and I definitely don't regret it...Screamarie said:
In short, worry not. It's worth it!
These HD remakes are annoying. They aren't even going to bother releasing them properly? It makes me not to want to ever buy a Konami game again. It should not have been released in that condition. I chalk this up to no playtesting. People should be fired for making such poor decisions.
I played the game when it was first released and didn't find it to be all that frightening in its original itteration. However the story mixed well with the forbodding asnd mystical atmosphere. Which by the sounds of things this release undercuts.
Then again the terrible voice acting did largely the same thing so... Either way they (Konami) should have just re-employed Blue Point and done the thing right.

I got the Silent Hill HD collection on the PS3 and everything seems fine to me.
The only real problem I had with 2 was it was way too dark, too the point where it took me a full hour and a half of wandering up against the wall tapping (X) to find the right door to get to the flash light in the apartments. The thing is I've already done all of this (many times) in my PS2 version.
Problem was fixed after I adjusted the brightness on the TV.

Totalbiscuit happened to have some interesting thoughts on this matter just a few days ago on an episode of his Mailbox series, which you can find here (skip to 1:25 if you want):
I agree with pretty much everything he said, he covered the subject well.
