HD Collection PS3 Exclusive (Hah! 360 too) /New VAs

[rewak]

What a wonderfully short sighted view

What about those who don't have a PS2? What about those without the PC hardware to emulate? What about those who DON'T already have it?

Picking up a second hand PS2 and copies of both games would be cheap, maybe cheaper than picking up a new-release priced HD re-release. Both games were released on PC, that's what i meant. Here's shots of both PC versions running 1080p, probably exactly what the re-release will look like.

hey, what resolution are those running. i get pretty good at 1280x1024 but i always have a bitch configuring my logitech to play the game. in fact My ATI is running pretty awesome with this game.

but yeah i have no PS2 and am on a budget. the only reason im getting a ps3 is its my birthday in august. so these collections might be my only chance of replaying these games since mine were stolen

Heard about this a bit late, but I'm pretty excited. Kinda iffy on the VA thing, but then again SH2's VA wasn't exactly stellar.

Well, then my response wouldn't change. You're still hoping that you've got the compatible hardware to run it either way.

[rewak]

The games are nearly 10 years old, if you don't have compatible hardware what kind of PC do you have? They aren't demanding games to run.

[Stu]

Can you guarantee they'll work for everyone then?

[rewak]

Unless you're running a relic on Windows 95 chances are you'll be just fine, they're pretty flexible games unlike a lot of recent ones. PC gaming not even 10 years ago was so easy, i miss those times.

rewak - the PC controls like ass, and SH2 in particular was a very sloppy port. I'd take an HD console edition over the PC versions any day. Hell I have the PC editions and outside of how good SH3 looks in particular I'll still play my PS2 versions because the controls are shoddy.

[Canas Renvall]

Really? I didn't have a problem using my 360 controller connected to the USB port. Works like a charm.

[Rombie]

Well, correction then. I didn't have a gamepad to use, the PC control without it was very lackluster. Ignore my control issues.

[Scream]

I would also say I had no problems with the PC ports of SH2/3 - I used a PS3 controller via USB. In fact I was almost impressed by how little problems I had, the only issue IIRC was configuring the correct buttons for SH3 which took a little trial and error. Graphics seemed good if not better at times.

[Dot50Cal]

I recall hooking up the SH2 pc version a while back. It had some issues I can't really recall though. In the end, I went with the Xbox version through 360 emulation..we all know how that turned out. Glad to see they are doing HD versions though. Its just the excuse I needed to play them again.

Have they said if they will make them widescreen at all?

[Scream]

Did you patch it? I remember before I applied the patch it wasn't doing something right.. funny no-one can remember, must of erased our memories.

[Canas Renvall]

^ You're just suppressing it, Scream. Remember...

Remember the terrible things you did...

[Scream]

Yeah actually.. I think.. I remember...

.. Shit, lost it!
