Silent Hill HD Collection/General SH Thread

axlegear83 · 06-26-2011

So, is anyone curious about this upcoming HD remastered collection for Silent Hill 2 and 3 on the PS3?

http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/si...p&cross=270837

Product details from the Gamestop site:

* Experience the two classic Silent Hill titles previously released on PlayStation 2, Silent Hill 2 & Silent Hill 3, that defined the Survival Horror genre in its early inception.

* Both titles re-mastered to HD at 720p for improved graphics on PlayStation 3.

* Completely updated in-game voiceover directed by series vocalist Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and soundtrack score enhancing the storytelling and ambient music within each re-mastered game.

* Full PlayStation Network Trophies support integration.

The third point seems sort of dubious, but I'll admit that I'm also slightly intrigued.

Also, I guess anyone can use this thread for general SH discussion if they're interested!

I almost forgot about the general discussion portion...here are the usual topics regarding Silent Hill (at least, the ones I've seen make for the best discussion/analysis/et cetera):

1. Are the angelic and/or demonic forces worshipped by the Order real, or just part of the town's delusional phenomena?

2. Are James and Laura trapped in some sort of (presumable) limbo like Angela and Eddie, or are they able to leave Silent Hill?

3. Was Heather really killing "monsters," or something worse like Vincent insinuates in Silent Hill 3?

4. Are Pyramid Head and Valtiel, respectively, the "Red God" Xuchilbara and the "Yellow God" Lobsel Vith mentioned in the Order's creation myth (as related through the track "Sun" on the SH3 soundtrack)?

5. Were Travis Grady and the "Butcher" one in the same?

Feel free to add your own topics!

Yeah, it's coming out on September 20th as far as everyone knows...it'd be nice to have a release date for the HD versions of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus AND The Last Guardian, though.

Oops...sorry, I jumped the gun on Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD. Thanks for clearing that up!

The Valtiel-esque chair/statue looks pretty interesting...
