We have a surprising bit of news here, as both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gamers have been waiting for Konami to release a patch for the Silent Hill HD Collection. The patch has officially been released on the PlayStation 3, but they have canceled plans for the Xbox 360 patch.
While it is suggested that the PlayStation 3 issues were more widespread, there are those on the Xbox 360 who have been unable to play the game. Here is the official announcement from Konami:
PlayStation 3 Online Patch Deployed. XBOX 360 Patch No Longer Scheduled for Release
Today, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced that while a PlayStation®3 online title update for Silent Hill HD Collection has been deployed for download via PlayStation®Network, plans for an XBOX®360 title update have been cancelled due to technical issues and resources.
Understanding the issues some users are experiencing, KONAMI issued a title update for Silent Hill HD Collection (PS3), which fixed frame rate issues as well as audio-synching and other reported issues. KONAMI apologizes to any players who are continuing to experience these issues on the XBOX 360 sku.
The original plan was for Konami to relaunch their Silent Hill franchise with three titles to be released around the same time, but this hasn't gone smoothly for the struggling game publisher/developer. Gamers are still waiting for a patch to Silent Hill: Downpour, but thankfully, Rely On Horror received word that it has not been canceled. We'll have more information on that release as it becomes available.
