Silent Hill HD Collection is a compilation of remastered ports of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Original games were developed by Team Silent, and ported to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by Hijinx Studios.

Features

Since Konami lost source code for both games, Hijinx Studios had to work with unfinished versions of Silent Hill 2 and 3. The core play mechanics and story for all games remained mostly the same with some artistic changes in the remastered versions. For the remastering, both games have had a graphics overhaul to allow them to support modern 720p resolution on consoles, as well as run at locked 30 frames per second. Both games also feature an alternate voice dub, as well as PlayStation Network Trophies and Xbox 360 Achievements. Players have the option to switch between the original voice acting and the alternate voice acting for Silent Hill 2, while the re-dub is mandatory for Silent Hill 3 because it lacks the original voice acting.

Reception

Silent Hill HD Collection received mixed reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PlayStation 3 version 69.00% based on 21 reviews and 70/100 based on 33 reviews[1][3] and the Xbox 360 version 67.56% based on 16 reviews and 69/100 based on 17 reviews.[2][4]
