20 Biggest WTF Moments In Silent Hill History
12. The Silent Hill HD Collection
The Silent Hill HD Collection is a miserable, awful thing that shouldt exist.
Not only did it senselessly remove the fog from Silent Hill 2 and 3 (which might be the single most stupid thing any developer has ever done, ever), but it also butchered several key sequences by adding a pointless widescreen option to the game. In the original Mannequin Storeroom sequence from Silent Hill 3 for instance, players views are restricted so they cant actually witness the severing of the Mannequins head; its assumed, and that makes it scary.
In the HD Collection however, the widescreen perspective means that the Mannequin itself can be kept in sight at all times, meaning that players can actually see the head clip out of the game. As you can imagine, it completely destroys the magic of the whole thing.
