Mr. Sexy Hat Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Did you say Silent Hill HD collection. I'm fucking there. Personally I would love to see the NGP knock Nintendon't off its ivory tower. Sony I once hated you for killing my dreamcast. But now we have a common enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I know it's too early to ask, but i'd love a SH 1 remake. (Shattered Memories doesn't count). I never finished it and would like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 So is Silent Hill 1 ever getting an HD remake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 sadly, too far back, so no one's put in the effort...except Climax, kinda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 *sigh* you're right, though. bish often says the good news is you can repress all the weird drug stuff the plot used towards its end, at least. i do wish to relive moments like the sheer horror of that nurse falling apart in front of you.

Maldron Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Silent Hill Collection to be PS3 only. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/09/silent-hill-collection-will-be-on-playstation-3-only-this-fall/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If Gears can have a "pay $200 and get a life-sized lancer" edition, why can't I have a Pyramid Head edition. ...just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 ok, so first things first: 1) it's coming to 360 as well. 2) it's apparently looking to show in 2012 for some reason. next up, cant recall if we talked about this elsewhere, but Konami's apparently not ponying up royalties to the original voice actors (...), so here's what it's currently sounding like, before being remastered: there's some rough spots in there, but to be honest, James sounds more insecure, and Maria sounds a bit more aggressive, and both of those things fit 2's narrative so i'm alright with this. Eddie still sounds silly, but i always figured most of that was his dialogue. really curious to hear how 3 sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hm Do not know if want new VAs. Other than that I'm glad Xbox is getting a release but I'm slowing loving my PS3 more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah, id like to hear more. James is close, its Maria/Mary i wanna get a better feel for, and the crazy chick too. another take: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 "What's that?" "Who's there?" "Huh?" "What was that?" "Wha?" "Did you hear that?" "What was that noise?" "Hello?" "Wait!" "Who are you?" "It's locked." Does it really matter aside from cutscenes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 if you're mimicking the YTMND, that's from 1, and you know it. still, i'd argue that even though part of it was hammy, 2 is important in its delivery... parts like Angela confronting her "father", or on the burning staircase, Maria in the cell there, James after she dies (several times), the "confession" if you stay in the hallway and hear about Mary's fate, etc. maybe it was just the impact it had about 10 years ao, but even when some people mocked the VA here & there, i thought some of it had that subtle delivery i need from a man who's clearly a bit unhinged & searching for his dead wife. or course, you might be right: if one thing is gonna date this for people (especially guys like Mal who never played it in the day), its gonna be them tank controls.

Iambaytor Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm not mimicking the ytmnd, I'm mimicking the game and part 2 was rife with that shit as well. I never played part 3 so I can't comment. Though, to be fair, 2's cutscenes were far more integral than 1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 aw man, you passed on 3? fuck, id send you my copy if i still had it. it's the great one that doesn't get talked about as much, give it a chance when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Not so much passed as walked into a gamestop and said "There is no fucking way I am paying $40 for a PS2 game." I have purchased exactly 3 PS2 games for anything above $20. Guitar Hero, God of War 2, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. But that was when all 3 were new and I regretted 2 of them. I also paid $30 for Psychonauts but I don't regret that ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 yeah, shit's overpriced, no doubt. id check ebay/half or something, god knows this collection should drive down the price. some of the best VA work in 2 (huge spoilers, obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopcruz Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) VA was pretty good, esp the Maria/James scene. James even sounds like it MIGHT be the same guy which it can't be due to disputes over royalties for SH2. 2's voice acting was by far the worst part of the game, even though it worked in spite of itself (it was damn alien and creepy, which fit the game's mood.) The big question is going to be whether or not the voices can fit the performances, remember SH2 did the Uncharted thing where the acted out the scenes on a stage for the mo-cap, then animated the faces by hand. Edit: Ok, listened to the original Jail scene again. Shit that was bad. James, had I never played SH 2 before is laughably bad. I think the game did so well on all other levels that the bad VA just washed away after a while Maria had the best actress, but even she is mediocre by most VA standards. Honestly if they were going for a big name director, get Andrea Romano, no one is better. Still here is the prison scene: Edited August 18, 2011 by bishopcruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 ^yeah, i too went back & listened to that very scene, and...wow, i forget how low my expectations for VA work were in the PS1 era, that really didn't hold up. good call. the worst i (and Losifer) said about the new one is that Maria came on perhaps a bit too strong/forced, but again id like to hear her in other bits. Also, more Mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtype Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Goddamn, a cover that doesn't suck. Is it Europe exclusive or something? I'm suspicious. Going by the M rating I'll say it's ours. If they take the cover out from 2-3 it'll be prefect. Edited August 28, 2011 by Newtype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
