Rather than steal NeoGAF’s bandwidth, I’ve put the screenshots up here, if the original poster wants them removed, naturally I will do so. The screenshots are taken from this thread. Thanks must also go to the user “Lime” on the NeoGAF forums. If you don’t believe me, have a look at a couple of these amazing screen-shots. In fact, with a little effort it becomes the definitive version, surpassing the shoddy HD remake quite easily.

If you’re wondering how the PC port stacks up, the answer is pretty nicely indeed. It makes a firm point about PC gaming when you consider that the PC version, released in 2002, actually supports a higher resolution than the recently released HD collection. Most importantly, this version still runs on modern Windows PC’s, 32 or 64 bit. Expect to pay between £20 and £30 for a copy in good condition. This version of the game is now somewhat rare, but still readily available on E-bay. In the case of Silent Hill 2, the PC received an improved and updated port in the shape of Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut. The Silent Hill HD remake isn’t the first HD version of these games, that honour falls to the PC versions. Pyramid head would certainly not approve and is no doubt chasing the tortured programmers down brown coloured corridors in their sleep. Destructoid was even more scathing, calling the conversions a “pathetic mess” and branding the package “Incomplete, glitchy, and visually degraded”. Eurogamer called the remake “sloppy in places, inexcusably inattentive in others”. Few games have the atmosphere and eerie creepiness of these excellent titles, so it’s a shame that the remake has been met with such widespread disappointment. An eagerly awaited remastering of the two seminal survival horror titles, Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, the HD collection should have introduced a whole new generation of gamers to these psychological thrillers. The internet certainly isn’t staying silent about the new Silent Hill HD Collection. Note – This version of the article is out of date – this page is now maintained and updated on here.
