Silent Hill creeps up on March

Konami packing month with Silent Hill HD Collection on March 6, Silent Hill: Downpour on March 13, and Silent Hill: Book of Memories on March 27.

59 Comments

Silent Hill fans will want to keep their schedules open in March. Konami today announced that the Silent Hill HD Collection, Silent Hill: Downpour, and Silent Hill: Book of Memories will all be released during March.

March is apparently
March is apparently "Silent Hill Month" for Konami.

Leading the group is the Silent Hill HD Collection, which will ship on March 6 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The compilation pack includes new versions of Silent Hill 2 and 3, complete with new voice-overs for the characters. It was originally scheduled to arrive on January 24.

Next up will be Silent Hill: Downpour on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on March 13. The first new console installment in the series since 2008's Homecoming, Downpour follows convicted felon Murphy Pendleton in the aftermath of a prison bus crash that leaves him stuck in Silent Hill.

Rounding out the month will be the PlayStation Vita game Silent Hill: Book of Memories on March 27. The game will center on a mysterious book that contains the protagonist's entire life story, which can be edited to change the past and present. The game will also introduce multiplayer to the Silent Hill franchise with a new cooperative mode.

For more on the games mentioned above, check out GameSpot's latest coverage of the Silent Hill HD Collection, Silent Hill: Downpour, and Silent Hill: Book of Memories.

@Gelugon_baat : I second that, Mighty Switch Force has the best soundtrack I ever listened on any portable game. WayForward's games are pretty carismatic and they have original ideas, I do believe they are good enough to bring us a good game. Still, being careful is never too much.

I would be careful with that VITA game (Book of Memories) if I am any of you. WayForward has a spotty record with contracts for big-name publishers, and now it's working with a handheld that it hasn't had much experience in. On the other hand, there is one thing that you can count on that would be superb - the soundtrack. Jake Kaufman, the lead audio designer at WayForward, is heck of a talented dude.

It would be great to have SH1 in this collection... But I'm happy to have SH 2 and 3. And still believe in Downpour...

silent hill 2 and 3 are the best in the series --- sh 4 was ok - and homecoming was an average game with good graphics and a poor story ---

It's a big disappointment, that KONAMI did not include SH1, SH4: The Room, SH: Shattered Memories and Origins in this so called Silent Hill Collection. It's doesn't matter, if half of them are spin-off's or not... So now, the only reason to buy this collection is SH2 (cause let's be honest SH3 is not that great)

Max Payne 3 and Mass Effect 3 own March. Not a good month for a release. Especially if Konami wants to win back their fans. After all, Resident Evil is also out in March.

Anyone knows if "Downpour" will be available as a Digital Download or not? @GamerYnoX @diegomode They'll never include SH4 in the "Collection"...because SH4 is A SPIN-OFF. It doesn't have ANYTHING to do with SH's main story. I guess it technically kinda IS part of the SH Universe... but it doesn't have a place in a "Collection" (typically, this are "the key games we need to play to understand and enjoy the story of the franchise"). Soo...it will NEVER be a SH4 HD for PS3/X360.

It wouldn't hurt to stuff SH and/or SH4 in the disk. I know the first Silent Hill may not have the best graphics but no one would complain and it would make the collection sort of complete.

They didnt include Silent Hill 1 because the graphics are so dated they would of had to completely remake the game, they stuck with SH2 &3 because the graphics still look decent so all they had to do was up the resolution like Capcom did with Resident Evil 4.

Stupid Konami - what we, Silent Hill fans, waited form them is great HD remake of the first game. They are just to lazy to make it. Like everyone else. Just like MGS1 - one of greatest games - just imagine remade it with MGS4 engine...

I like the other games but I don't really need a remake of them. What I NEED is someone to fix that f***ing mess I paid £15 for on Steam called "Silent Hill: Homecoming". WHAT THE F*** WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU MADE THAT GAME?

Excluding SH1 from the HD collection was the deal breaker for me. As for Downpour I'm ganna pass or just wait to get it dirt cheap. Last SH I played was Homecoming which was a big disappointment.

@THE_DRUGGIE I feel your pain bro. SH2 is one the few games with real adult thematic though is so subtle. The new games are just holiday horror movies.

This series is dead to me now. Good lord, it was actually physically painful to watch anything related to Book of Memories. I won't even glance at Downpour since it's being made by those people. Seriously why? Why? Why why why why why why why why why?

I'm guessing that PS1 titles are lower priority for HD upgrades than PS2 titles, because not every PS3 is backward-compatible with PS2 titles, but they are all backward-compatible with PS1 titles. Which may or may not be bad for XBox users.

they're prob gonna do a complete remake of the original since it's so popular and release it as a stand alone game. that's my guess as to why the original is not being included...

Why are Konami leaving out originals in their HD Collections ??? No MGS1 or Silent Hill 1. Although I will still be buying the MGS collection to play 2 & 3 with up to date graphics & controls. Silent Hill though... Probably not. The first was and still is the best in the series.
