Downpour will be ported to PC?

Oh god no. I have seen the Xbox version already. Bugged and lagging as hell. It would be unplayable on the PC for sure.

I notice some serious issue with screen tearing, bad fps at certain place. No v-sync.

Also Homecoming for PC too. I'm waiting this classics on GOG.

Konami is horribly useless and stupid company, so I am not holding my breath, but if SH appeared here I would buy them, second and third especially.

How does Downpour fare against other Silent Hill games? The opinions of critics seem to differ a lot, some say it's a good deal better than the other Western Silent Hills, when some think Downpour is an utter mess. I'd like to hear a legitimate Player's opinion.

The negatives seem to focus on some technical issues and lack of innovation. Since this kind of game is so rare though a lack of innovation is not a problem.

Dude, this thread's two years old. Jotamide bumped it up to babble on about how the HD versions sucked. Which is a really important point that needed to be made. The US just decreased their DEFCON rating because of that.

A lot of SH2's praise goes towards its plot and how everything just clicks. Like the monsters, that actually represent James' persona and his sexual anxiety. Other games did this too, but not to an equally great effect. And when it comes to Homecoming and Origins, they basically recycled the sexy nurses and Pyramid Head (albeit he had a different name in those games, but it's still the same thing: a punisher), although they were tied to James; that's why they look like that. Personally I think SH2 is my favorite of the series. SH3 might be the scarier game, though.

I noticed these things in the plot, the town definately has a connection to James that the other titles in the series don't show nearly as well with their protagonists. And the game definately has a lot of fun for me because of it's adventure game elements. It's simply managed to be more unsettling to me than scary, but I'm only about half-way through at this point.

Homecoming and Origins definately had their moments though. I think they were more competently produced than fans would suggest. Maybe thats because I came to them first, I dunno. Has anyone here played Shattered Memories? I think it's quite inspired.

SH3 definitely freaked me out. I think playing a fragile girl adds to that, whether that is sexist or not, lol.

I am a scaredy-cat though, most scary games freak me out a lot (Doom 3, Dead Space, etc.).

Doom 3 certainly made me jumpy but I had a hard time finding anything scary in Dead Space outside of a few jump scares. Survival Horror isn't what it once was.

dead space is only scary on the hardest difficulty. I had doubts with it but it becomes a proper survival horror when you run around monsters with low health and no ammo.

Dead Space was probably the weakest of all but it still got to me a bit. Especially the part with the song. Overall though any game designed to make me anxious usually succeeds.
