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

[riderkid]

the PC versions work on windows 7 with the no CD patch. also is there a release date? i plan on getting a PS3 in august for my Bday

[Rombie]

Dot - I don't think any comment on widescreen has been said, but everyone else is supporting it (including the HD editions of Konami's other major porting effort of MGS2 and 3) so I would be surprised not to see it.

riderkid - No official date.

[Kaneco]

Hmm...My only concern is why did they not include SH4 into the mix.

The game wasn't exactly great for an SH game but it was great game that shares the same graphic art style and engine...so why?

It would have been a more complete package for including all three games of that specific console generation, except for origins which was more of a port from the PSP to PS2 (only).

[riderkid]

maybe they 'll add them last minute. origins will probably be in the REmaster series along with shattered memories

[riderkid]

well gamestop has an american release on sept 20th. so i will be getting my friend to buy ti to make up for him not BRINGING MY FUCKING DVDS AND GAMES TO HIS AUNTS HOUSE OVER THANKSGIVING LIKE I FUCKING ASKED HIM!!!

GOD SAKEAS THEY WERE ALL IN A FUCKING SPACE BAG!!! IT SHOULD NOT HAVE INCONVIENCED HIM AT FUCKING ALL!!!

FUCK!!!

[Canas Renvall]

Seriously man... if you're gonna force someone to buy a game because he forgot to bring your games for Thanksgiving, you might wanna get that checked out.

ok, so i am supposed to forget that when i asked him to please look out for my games the bastards i lived with stole that he just stood by and let them sell them?

also i know this cause they were stupid enoguh to use my gamestop rewards card i left in the case ( i use the keychain card )

besides he offered to buy the game without me asking. I brought it up in conversation and he said he'll buy it to make up for the loss of both my silent hills and fatal frame...REALLY pissed about that. plus im gettign a ps3 in august for my Bday and really want that game for it.

[BeefWellington]

The new voice over shit is just an outrage. The god of war collection didnt get new voices why the hell should silent hill?

[Smiley]

The games were synced to their performances too right? Doesn't that just make the new lineup "dub work"? Really sounds like mixed results here.

[Rombie]

For SH2 at least, cutscene voice was recorded with motion capture at the same time. So yeah, it'll be interesting with them done separately unless for some odd reason Konami does both again.

[Mr_Zombie]

I wonder what will they do about CGI; they can't rerender them too. And with different voice actors, lip-sync will be off.

[MeanBob]

It's a real shame. IMO, Silent Hill 2 and 3's voice acting was great. It had its hiccups here and there, but the voices made those games what they are (besides Akira Yamaoka's music)

[Darkmoon]

So...if they decide to dump the voices, they'll need to dump all the mocap for it to make any sense, and therefore need to redo all that as well, paying a new Mocap minion and voice actor...

Wouldn't it be more cost effective, Konami, to suck it up and admit you're wrong, then pay the fellow and not fuck around with an all time classic?

[Scream]

I'm sure it will be hacked and replaced with the original files some time or another.. I guess we can check out these new voices until then..Maybe they're better? Who knows! Is there a preview out yet?

[Darkmoon]

I'll be honest - I'm not sure 'better' would do any good, for me. I'm so used to how James sounds, any change would like make my teeth itch. Better or worse, the voice would be wrong. But really, what's the point - it seems like Konami will end up paying almost as much or more to redo this stuff as it would cost to send the man his check. Send him the money and save yourself some effort. Seems a no brainer to me, unless someone knows why, exactly, Konami decided to stiff the original actor?
