Konami not patching Xbox 360 Silent Hill

Well that's one way of handling it. "oh we soo sowwy you game bwoken but we no can fix it, suks tu be yu. We still sell game tho, we still sell bwoken game so we kan make mowe money" Doesn't really instill much consumer confidence in their company. Also what is the point of telling people to contact customer support. Say they are willing to issue refunds then wouldn't they also pull the game off of shelves, no point selling a game that you are gonna have to refund right out of the gate.

Bet it's due to having to pay Mircrosoft X amount of dollars to allow the patch to be on their network. And Konami not charging for the patch, nor wanting to charge for it.

So I had the hd collection since 2010 on my PCSX2! and currently I'm playing Front Mission 4 and 5 Eng. patched In HD oh yeah the only downside is no trophies support :( I like my trophies

Don't go multi-platform if you can't handle it / not going to support it (looking at you too Bethesda). This is pretty sad though, when any dev or publisher provides differential treatment to its customers based on platform access, it's bad news for gamers everywhere.

I played through Part 3 on 360, uninstalled, and hardly had any frame rate issues. A few audio sync hiccups here and there, but nothing to get bent over.

Are these the same "technical" issues that caused them to release a broken game (E.g. laziness)? I have the PS3 version, and the originals, but this pisses me off just on principle...

well there goes my sale.

They probably ported the game from the PS2 and the tools they have don't work so well on the 360.

Stick to PS2/Xbox original versions :P

PS3 games are regularly updated - infact nowadays I dread buying any PS3 game because of the expected yawn inducing wait for lengthy updates/installs prior to actually getting to the game play. Although to be fair it seems that most developers release games in a piss-poor state these days regardless of the format.

I never like these HD collection, they always tend to end up being buggy and messy, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection also end up like this too. Fortunately I'm glad I still got the originals on my PS2.

I love coming to these messages boards, it's all the same stuff "Microsoft sucks" "Sony is the best" "Xbox is an inferior platform", if people would stop being ignorant and get their facts straight before spewing out nonsense most would know that the Xbox 360 version was actually better than the PS3 version on release *GASP*.

The reason the PS3 version is getting patched is because it was nearly unplayable, huge frame-rate issues, hang ups on loading, odd Vsync issues, and horribly bad audio syncing problems in Silent Hill 3 (characters voices were head literally 1-2 seconds after the lips move).

I have both PS3 and Xbox 360 and the reasons I just stated were why I bought this game on Xbox. I had almost no hope that they would patch it at all, on either platform. While the Xbox version still has minor flaws (syncing isn't perfect in SH3 and SH2 slows down a bit in the fire scenes) that I would love to get patched I have had no real game breaking issues at all after about 3 playthroughs of each game (I read a comment earlier about someone not being able to finish SH2 because of a glitch, sorry but it might be your disc or what I consider "user error") so this doesn't matter to me all that much. Hopefully PS3 users will now have a playable product, it's unfortunate it took Konami so long to fix their mistake.

damn... i'll just have borrow ps2 versions from my friend =/

That's pretty suicidal in my opinion. Talk about spitting in the face of your fan base.

I feel the fury and the pain for 360 gamers, this is just wrong.

Actually if you read amazon, few xbox users even experienced frame rate issues on the 360 version, they had sound synching problems here and there but nothing like the ps3 version. Ps3 version wasn't selling so it was marked down below the 360 version quite a bit. Don't know what it is priced at at the moment.

for all xbox owners should demand a refund from konami I will never buy a konami game also pszone your an idiot fanboy thats why elderscrols plays like dog shit on ps3

Game runs better on ps3 and pc if they had pc vision xbox epic fail for paches enough said.

Oh? Will pick it up then.

Bad form Konami! It's a good job I only rented this collection and decided to keep the PC versions!

to those saying that xbox charge to release patches sony also do for the ps3 thats why developers like pc better you can patch any time you want.

i for one am annoyed as hell i have it for xbox and due to a bug i cannot finish silent hill 2 guess my hopes for a fix are gone.

Ha,ha,

Goes to show Xbox 360 players they bought a inferior platform.

If you want someone to blame, talk to your buddies at Microsoft, since they don't care about you the gamer which is typical of Microsoft.

This is a bad move, obviously, but honestly, I can understand. Xbox patches cost a lot, wasn't it something like $15,000?

disappointing, way to screw your fan base Konami.

Well..I was gonna get it lol!

And no one could have cared less...

Silent Hill 2 and 3 were developed for the PS2 and apparently the PS3 has the architecture to allow a patch (probably always did, but then they switched it off). The 360 doesn't. It's an entirely different system. It sounds to me like the only way to properly address the issue is to completely build a PS2 emulator for the 360. Building an emulator is the resource issue, getting permission from Sony would be the technical issue.

Still a dirty move if their Q&A revealed this issue and they decided to sell it anyway. The honourable thing to do is to note the issue on new boxes and reduce the price of the 360 version.

...right, "technical issues" .... so this is how is called these days , interesting :D

And this is why we can't trust them and buy games on release anymore. The "beta syndrome" (yeah I just pulled that out my ass) is gettting so out of hand that it now affects games that were released long ago without any problems...

What a shame and a pity, really

People boycotting Konami over this are overreacting. 

Not enough people bought it on 360 I guess
