In a blog post in July 2020, Microsoft said: "It's our intent for all Xbox One games that do not require Kinect to play on Xbox Series X at the launch of the console." The Silent Hill HD Collection, a compilation of the high-definition remastered video game ports of Silent Hill 2 (2001) and Silent Hill 3 (2003), spent more than two years in development. [1] Silent Hill 2 follows widower James Sunderland as he journeys through the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his dead wife. [2] Silent Hill 3, in contrast, is a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill game, centering on Heather Mason, a teenager who finds herself entangled in a plot to revive an evil god. Both games belong to the survival horror genre and as such, their gameplay elements overlap. Access to the various environments within the games' worlds is limited, and progression through a particular area or building generally entails finding the relevant keys, which are sometimes obtained after solving a puzzle; puzzles often take the form of riddles and sometimes consist of gathering various items to help solve them. " Health" restoratives and a limited range of weapons and ammunition to fight off various hostile creatures can be obtained. Both games have multiple endings available. [3] The Silent Hill HD Collection featured 720p resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, a frame rate of 30 frames per second, achievements for Xbox Live, and trophies for PlayStation Network.

But there were too many occasions where I was left wondering whether Hijinx actually bothered trying to line them up at all. It's all over the place, to be honest, the worst instance coming at the climax of Silent Hill 3 - quite an important bit of the drama - where my characters lips were moving, but the words didn't come until seconds later. Nyarlathotep - I've never been keen on mouse and keyboards for games. The only time I ever got that down was for Elite on the Amiga 600, everything after that seemed less than appropriate. Hehehe. Camera actually does me alright as I got my gammy Halo-esque setup going on there. Worth a stab though, thanks for the suggestion. One of the biggest complaints from the time was of terrible frame rate drops and stuttering, trouble with the audio and particularly the lip syncing; some even wrote that thinning out the fog in the second game revealed more of the game’s technical limitations that couldn’t be swept under the carpet. On the plus side, less fog did mean that textures became visible that couldn’t be seen in the original games, including some with clues about the various puzzles, so every cloud and all that. When I did eventually buy it I was more than happy with my experience, as it recreated the games that I remembered playing from my youth, and I do love a trip down Memory Lane.

Both games are categorized as survival horror and share gameplay elements with each other. Published worldwide by Konami beginning with North America in March 2012, the compilation features a graphics overhaul, new voice acting, and Xbox achievements and PlayStation trophies.

First off, no offence taken at all. I'm frustrated also. The game is a little different indeed, and is orientated towards fiddly and very specific timed combat. Which is shabby if you can't control it properly. Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine

So then, Xbox One owners now have the opportunity to experience one undeniable horror masterpiece and one less dazzling, but still excellent game. Which would all be wonderful if it wasn't for the fact that both remasters in the Silent Hill HD Collection are exceptionally poor efforts, and far from the best way to sample a legendary series. However, while less demanding games such as Braid and N+ perform flawlessly, the more CPU-heavy titles do struggle, with Halo: Reach and Gears of War: Judgement singled out as games that suffer in the emulation process.
