Konami planned a big push for their Silent Hill series with the release of 3 Silent Hill games (Downpour, HD Collection, Book of Memories) in the same month. Unfortunately, everything didn't go as well as planned, with Book of Memories' release getting pushed back and numerous technical issues being reported on Downpour and the HD Collection.
Thankfully, it looks like things will be all fixed up shortly, as Konami has just announced that they are working on patches for both Silent Hill Downpour and HD Collection:
