Silent Hill HD Collection Xbox 360 patch scrapped
Good news, Silent Hill fans on PlayStation 3! A patch for the Silent Hill HD Collection rolled out yesterday, with fixes for problems including the framerate and wonky audio-syncing. Bad news, Silent Hill fans on Xbox 360! Your equivalent patch has been cancelled.

"Plans for an Xbox 360 title update have been cancelled due to technical issues and resources," publisher Konami said in the announcement. "Konami apologizes to any players who are continuing to experience these issues on the Xbox 360 sku."
Well, at least Konami apologises, which must be of great comfort to those left with a shoddy game. Konami has told Joystiq it will still sell the game.

Thank God they are only fucking half their customers.

When I hear Silent Hill, I always think of Sony more than Microsoft.
-
-
And your point is..?
-
-
So your point has nothing to do with the article topic? That's what I was curious about, since you responded to someone who was clearly on topic.
-
So your point is that my point to counterpoint someone else's point is that person's point is on topic but mine isn't? And for no reason other than the fact that it's my point and not his?
I don't doubt you're already confused and probably don't know how to diagram sentences so let's review.
soundcreepy: When I hear Silent Hill, I always think of Sony more than Microsoft.
Endymion_: When I hear video games, I always think of Microsoft more than Sony.
Now, you obviously feel that anything I have to say is off topic because I'm referring to video games, but this is clearly not the case when Silent Hill and all its sequels are, in fact, video games. The point here is opinion, and while everyone's is subjective, the context of both Silent Hill and video games are extremely relevant to this opinion. His is simply that "Silent Hill belongs with Sony," for whatever idiotic reason, while I'm merely pointing out that Konami stands to do a lot more business by keeping their XBox 360 customers happy.
A lot of what I have just gone through the helpful explication of for your benefit is understood by persons who have grasp of context. The context of both Silent Hill by the title of this article, and the context of video games by way of the article being on Shacknews, are well established.-
I'm pretty sure his point was that Silent Hill is for the most part associated with Sony, implying that most of the sales are on Sony's console (which currently holds true). You responded with something that appeared to be flame bait (MS vs Sony), and off topic (relation to Silent Hill HD). So asking that apparently prompted a madbro post. So either you were flame baiting or you were being a dick, using an analogy to troll this guy despite it being pretty obvious what his point was.
Also you should really think hard about what on topic is, because what you described is not the general consensus.
GG NT-
It's nice that you know what he thinks, but that is better suited for a PM.
But it's terrible that you don't know the difference between the topic and an opinion that you don't agree with. Pointing out that most previous Silent Hill games have been sold on Sony consoles is probably correct. I am not and have not even tried disputing that--nevermind that exactly this wasn't stated by you or anyone else. All I am pointing out is that there are more XBox 360s out there than Playstation 3s, and this is very on topic when discussing a game available for both of them. How much previous Silent Hills have sold is completely irrelevant to this collection, and just like how appropriate you, or soundcreepy, feels the game is on one console as opposed to another has no bearing. Sure, saying this opinion actually is on-topic, but it's just your opinion. It isn't any more or less on-topic about the (very) simple fact that with a larger pool of potential buyers Konami stands to sell more on one platform than the other. Unless of course you seem to think that PS3 owners might buy more than one copy. Maybe PS3 owners are like comic book collectors from the 1990s and purchase multiple copies of their favourite games in order to drive up collectors' prices. Pointing this kind of logical disparity out isn't being a dick. It isn't even baiting. Feel free to white-knight soundcreepy. I don't mind. If you truly believe that previous iterations selling more on previous platforms means that one system will necessarily have more sales of a collection then you have at it. You might not want to think about how many PS2 owners later purchased a 360 and not a PS3, though.
I will try harder to live up to your expectations and think hard about what on-topic is, if you do a better job at resurrecting newsgroup lingo appropriately.-
How sad of a man do you have to be to not only try to white-knight a company, but do it in a thread where no one has ACTUALLY BADMOUTHED that company.
Holy crap.

Exactly, seems like a nightmare if you want to support a game made for xbox.
-
This really makes me wonder just how costly/difficult is it to patch an xbox game...
-
Does the PS3 patch solve the issues, at least?
