Konami announces HD remakes of SH2 and SH3

Heather finds out why it's true that you shouldn't talk to strangers. Or look in mirrors, quite honestly.

That's good news. Too bad they didn't give the first game the HD once-over, though. That's the one everybody wants upgraded the most.

Oh wow this is going to be FANTASTIC
But I agree with AITT, the first one deserved an upgrade as well. Still, 2 and 3 are going to look amazing and be so creepy it'll almost be like playing a new game~

I know. It would need more than a simple increase in resolution. It would need all new textures and models, the sound would have to be remastered, they'd have to hire actual professionals to do new voice acting, and a retooling of the controls, which were far too loose and sluggish compared to its sequels. In other words, they'd have to completely remake the damn thing.

2 and 3 only need some graphical touch-ups to make it HD-worthy.

I recall Guy Cihi recently being contacted by Konami or something, I don't have a source and I could just be remembering something else, but I could have sworn this happened a few months back, perhaps we are getting new textures, a higher resolution, remastered sound and extra scenarios/trophies?

I'll have to see if it's worth it first and... Ah who am I kidding. I'll probably get it anyway.

There is already a thread in the General section. That is the best place for this post because it involves SH2 also.
