I realized a few things playing this game, 1)that games were a lot harder than I are now, 2)that not having full three dimensional control over your character is not as good in games these days.

That said I am very happy to return to Silent Hill once again, and I am having fond memories of swearing and controller pounding from the original games.

Is it just me or nobody cares about those infernal fog rectangles that randomly form specially after changing areas? That ruined the whole experience for me.

There's way more problems with it's presentation than that. Lower contrast and color, sound looping issues, sound effects sounding odd or not being there, audio sync issues in the cutscenes, and framerate problems that for me seem to affect button input, I don't know if everyone else is having this problem but it's really annoying when you need to run. The contrast and color I can fix with my TV, everything else I guess I'll just have to deal with.

rmedtx5176d ago

I agree that some times it's hard to catch some bug when making a game but this bugs are pretty obvious like in your face and they left them there. I'm getting really sick of companies selling broken games that they can eventually fix with a patches.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26948d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake948d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69947d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26947d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

100% agree! SH2 is undoubtedly a stone cold classic.

gold_drake1110d ago

i played a couple of months ago for the first time.

i agree that its a great survival game, but i think the minute u realise you can "kill" them, its takes alot of the initial fear out of it.
the same thing happened to me in Siren Blood Curse.

but its definitely one of the best games, when you start looking into the lore and the symbolism

1nsomniac1110d ago

Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.

P_Bomb1110d ago

Pyramid Head or Red Pyramid. Which do you guys call him?

Pickledpepper1110d ago

I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it

Knushwood Butt1109d ago

Nice.

I have the games, just no PS2.

Pickledpepper1109d ago

I have a ps2 for sale and a n64 lol

how is it after the patches? Aren't there also more to come?

Amplitude1496d ago (Edited 1496d ago )

Did people not like the Mafia 2 remake? I got so into it. Thought it was amazing. Never played the original.

Some of these are fitting but I can't help but feel like the author just has nostalgia for the original Mafia 2 here. Dmc Collection on PS4 is fiiiiine its just a collection of PS2 games and the PS3 performance was not amazing. The point is to just have the PS2 games for a new gen of people. Crysis Remastered is also totally fine and has been patched and updated to death since launch. The original version essentially ran on one CPU core and they couldn't fix it let alone get that running on console/switch so they had good reason to do what they did to boost interest in Crysis before the Crysis 4 announcement

Lots of way worse remasters out there lol GTA, THPS HD, that Mario 3D All Stars trash, etc

jeenyus1496d ago

That's the issue, you haven't played the original.
The new one is slightly better looking but it's bugged af by comparison.

So in essence ... 2020 the year of bad remasters

Army_of_Darkness1496d ago

Sounds like a case of quick cash grabs during the pandemic.
