After the HD remakes of SH2 + 3 for some time in my players matter waiting to be finally alluded times, it was finally time come ..., although I wondered why I even have the original Silent Hill 2 ( for those Xbox) on my shelf have just stand by, but then a lot of it to me again, I had it then canceled because it indeed was always that these are just "rotten" advised the remakes and I the erroneous assumption by went, this game would run on my PAL Xbox360 yet, since it is, after all, also listed on the compatibility list of Microsoft, unfortunately only has failed to point out that that only the American and Japanese NTSC versions, on the respective American and Japanese NTSC consoles and was meant just the PAL version excluded is ... (So Pustekuchen).
So ... while I as "grip" ... much just me again, as then, the HD remake was formally broken in the air and that's why I wanted to cancel the original unbending, only I could never play yes and read so evenly also the remake totally untouched, because I "my" Silent Hill did not want to leave, hoping to ruin just always, it'll give you a patch or whatever and it lay dormant for a long time just to himself ...
The negative points that have been listed so were that the new Synchro only "atrocious" is simply that the atmosphere lacking because of (as in the title already mentioned) nebula, completely broken "ge-remastered" would have been that it also Other small differences in sound and in the other view would be present that the PS3 version still on top kinky Slowdowns and technical problems would etc ...
But lack of alternatives (just have a Xbox360 and just only one original of the 2nd part in a version that is not running on my console) at last to play and because of the "urge" again Silent Hill 2 +3, I thought me then you let the mood not spoil so as then and put it into your console and for yourself what image ...
A side thought was:
"Has not the time precisely why the PS2 version so torn in the air and compared with NEM N64 game, because the sight (because of the many mist) was so small and so beautiful pointed out" how weak "but the console in many eyes Therefore, was ....?! "
However, it is just right, the fog is not just one thing that was introduced in 2002 because the PS2 was not as powerful at that time, but is a very important element of style, as well as the coarse image by partially arg at the HD versions " ironed "was, are an important mood element that is missing just ... how managed Konami here has such an important stylistic elements even worse display than in the more than 10 years old original versions, is truly a mystery and really an indictment of their quality assurance. ..
Here one has truly sloppy and it is not surprising that the distribution of HD remakes was set less than 2 years later, the Imageverlusst was probably too big ...
The new Synchro however is perfectly fine, here it is really splitting hairs, that now that now and then occur "Un-synchronicities" so much in the foreground is because the new Synchro has been recorded much more professional, not as "read "not so" artificially "like the originals, the individual voices far more credible (except for the" wheezing "by James Sunderland, the main character of the second part, the very're next to it and sound more like Sägegeräuschen), also it is understandable set, which has to go to more than 10 years and through countless license agreements, various recordings / releases either lost or even no license was available for at Konami ..., in view of this have been given here really went very professional speakers and the music is very, very true to the original enacted, what a hell of task has been alone must be ..., also the original Synchro is besides original soundtrack remained eligible for part 2, here is a number of new productions times ne page from can, how much more painful it is but that hardly boasts a new production with such a good selection of speakers or which new production has been a "perfect" lip sync and would have in 2002 already excited about it (I do not think) ?!
All in all you can say but, if you are not predisposed to all purist and have constantly sloppy about "upset" how much the producers here but (at least for the graphical implementation), you still get but Silent Hill 2 + 3, "almost" as good as the original, the mood is still very, very close to the original, is also hard to distinguish the re-recorded soundtrack (SH2), it all finally in 16: 9, with better texture sharpness than ever and give Part 2 and Part 3, which is for example never appeared on an Xbox.
It is therefore not zuuu meticulously, are the "pluses" failed clearly greater in my opinion, and I can recommend the remake anyone who has no console collection / want / can afford, the Xbox360 version does have a patch, such as the PS3 version spendiert get, but this patch is also more likely to eradicate violent slowdowns on the PS3, the other "mistakes" were not really improved even with the PS3, ran the Xbox360 version and runs without patch constant at 30FPS and had also otherwise had less to contend with the other Beinträchtigungen the PS3.
Accesses, while you have no alternative, Silent Hill Part 2 and 3 are truly "Icons", I have to buy, but only used, no regrets!
