Meh, I still prefer the older one but it won't stop me getting it! I still say the 'SH Collection' could have been brill if the first one had been updated...SH 1,2&3 would have made it pretty much an essential purchase for fans. Add a bonus disc of interviews and making ofs like the Deluxe SH2 had...awesome.

PS2 original on a CRT, external speakers and the lights off.

Some of the music and atmosphere effects are missing in the "HD" version.

It is? I stand corrected; haven't played SH2 on PS2 for a good while, so just going on memory. :oops: Maybe I should just fire that up instead! I stand by my comment about the harsh lighting, though.

Only reason I'm voting for HD is because the lighting in the original is so poor throughout the game. Great for CRT televisions, but those of us who only own an HD TV struggle with Playstation 2 games and their poor lighting.

The PS2 version and PS2 games in general don't have poor lighting. Neither do many Xbox and GC games either.

I much prefer last gen lighting to overcooked blooming of so many current games though it does seem to have lessen somewhat in the last year or so.

Why do they need HD ports? They were pretty decent graphics in the first place.

I have been thinking lately, why buy the new one? Played em to death already, do I really need to play them on the 360 as well? Kind of talked myself out of them...Great games but don't need them again already. Maybe I'll wait for the next 'reimagining/remakes' on the next gens... :wink:
