It's a fucking scam!

Why? Two reasons. First reason is that it only has two games from a seven game series, and the original is still nowhere to be seen. It's be an issue for X360 players since they can't download the original and it's become a tad expensive overtime. The second reason is the voice acting. You know how iffy the voice acting was originally for 2 and 3? Well Konami was all like "You know, I think we can make this worse! Hire the worst actors you can find and tell the original casts to go fuck themselves!"

Yes, Eddie sounds that awful.

I like the new Eddie, James and Mary/Maria need to stop smoking so much.

Yeah...I'm not liking these new voice actors.

Hey dudes, this is just one sneak preview from two entire games that haven't even been shown yet. Chillax until more has been shown.

Chillax? Do you think I am jumping up and down and smashing things? I simply saying based off of that clip...the voice acting doesn't sound good so far.

For some reason, they seem to be on bad terms with the guy who played James in SH2. His character model was based off the voice actor so having someone else's voice coming out of his model is pretty bizarre. I don't think this is something the fans wanted to see and it is a slap in the face to the original voice actors.

Yeah, I remember the original voice actor for James threw a shit fit about them changing the voice actor. They had to change them all due to contract reasons.

Fixed.

It wasn't bad enough that the games after 4 sucked, now they're fucking up the best games in the series?

Btw are Mary and Maria being voiced by Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn? Who on top of being the vocalist for like every song in the series, is also the voice director for this rerecording? Way to cut corners Konami.

So damn pissed right now. I'd have LOVED to play SH2 in HD, it's the bestest of the series, etc. etc. but... yeah, fuck. Some of the James comparison wasn't THAT bad, but Maria and Eddie... ugh.

Mongo · **Posted:** Sat Aug 20, 2011 3:52 pm

I haven't played any Silent Hill game ever....sorry guys, just haven't, but that new Eddie I guess, the guy talking about killing guys or whatever is by far the worst change. He's terrible. I could deal with everyone else though I guess.

The Bastard Gamer · **Posted:** Sat Aug 20, 2011 5:59 pm

I think the new voice of Mary shows that Mary died from smoking too damn much.

Dave Schaufele and Guy Cihi sign the SH2 rights waivers - Sept. 29, 2011
Very special thanks to Monica Taylor Horgan and Donna Burke for signing their waivers! Fans, you need to understand that this simply wouldn't have been possible withou...t the cooperation and support of Tomm Hulett, Devin Shatsky and Michael Ranja of Konami USA. Plus, I would like to issue a special note of gratitude to Michael Patrick Arnold of Silent Haven who worked selflessly behind the scenes to get everyone together on this, and make the Win-Win ending possible. I don't think we could have done it without you, Mike! — with Monica Taylor Horgan.

Also, this collection is a PS3 exclusive, sorry 360 owners.

Yeah, the staffer of the game himself said it's gonna be on both systems. Even the worker at Gamestop said it'll beon PS3 and 360.

Ignore me. I'm reading outdated news (but the new voice cast isn't.)
