Retail Releases: Week of March 26th, 2012

Fore!

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 26 March 12 at 12:58

After the bombardment of new games last week, North America gets a more sparse collection this week. Meanwhile, it's Europe and Australia's turn to be showered in new releases. This week's biggest release, fittingly in the same week as Tiger's real-life comeback, is the new Tiger Woods PGA: Now with Babies! The previously delayed Ridge Racer is now popping up in all regions, but we haven't received confirmation of this new date. We'll run with it for now, but update this post if necessary.

Note: The Silent Hill HD Collection has been delisted from Amazon in all regions due to customer complaints of bugs and glitches. They will not be offering the game until the issue is resolved.

What? The SH Collection was delisted? Is the game that bad or does Amazon do that often?

Sadly, Downpour has a few upsetting bugs too. Maybe they should've been delayed some more.

I recommend them if you have even the smallest interest in golf.

So they couldn't fix the problems with the Silent Hill HD Collection before they released it in North America but they can now? And last I checked, it was only the PS3 version having problems. You know, 2 seconds being cut out of Pyramid Head's love scene, lagging during the running animation and awful framerate.

Maybe this is a sign to developers to stop trying to port Silent Hill games, they're never anything but trouble afterwards.

The Silent Hill HD Collection for Xbox 360 isnt that bad at all.

A few hiccups with sound but overall very playable, i'm enjoying it alot, i have some friends that own the PS3 version and they said it is VERY buggy and unplayable, avoid like the plaque.

That is how mine is. I bought it for the PS3 because I only ever played it on the PS2. I am surprised I was able to beat Silent Hill 2 with how bad the lagging during the running animation was. And the framerate started getting awful about halfway through the game. Once I beat that I tried moving onto Silent Hill 3, I don't even recommend attempting that on the PS3. It's somehow worse than Silent Hill 2, the framerate sucks from the first cutscene on. Also, the first two seconds of the Pyramid Head love scene are missing which is a big problem as those two seconds are very important so you know how masculine Pyramid Head was.

I just don't understand how it could be so bad during the PS3 release but the 360 release doesn't have half the problems. Especially since the game was originally on the Playstation.

Strange, yes, but not unheard of. PS3 games have a history of being buggier. Is Skyrim even playable yet on PS3? That was so broken, it should have been illegal to sell.

I'm glad to hear about the 360 version being okay though. Downpour has some framerate lag when entering some new locations or during autosaves, but that's it really. If HD isn't so bad either, I won't wait for a patch. Can they even patch them anyways?

Who knows? And even if they can, are they going to? But when Konami posts things like this on their Facebook, "Attention Silent Hill HD Collection PS3 Users: We’re very aware of the PS3 frame rate/lip-synch issues with Silent Hill HD Collection and a patch was already under development.

The patch has been deployed today, and is now available on the PlayStation Network. We’re sorry for any inconvenience and we appreciate your patience.

(Note: This addresses an issue not found in the Xbox 360 version of the game, or the upcoming European release for both platforms.)" It makes me really wonder if they were ever planning on it. Within the first sentence it seems like they knew of the problem but sold it anyway.
