The Xbox version Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams is ported to the PlayStation 2 in Japan.
Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo has announced it will release its survival horror game Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams for the PlayStation 2 in Japan. The game will be a port of the Xbox version, which includes an added scenario called Born from a Wish that lets players assume the role of a character named Maria.
Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams for the PlayStation 2 is scheduled for a July 4 release in Japan.

I dunno, I read this post, and kinda chuckled to myself for some reason. But I did want to play this game, and since I wasn\'t exactly planning on buying the xbox, I pretty much had given up on that thought. So much for exclusive games these days.
-
Damn... A port of a port? This reminds me a lot of DoA2.
Oh well, I guess it\'s good news to those who never picked up the original.
-
Think it will make it to US/Eu?
I doubt it.

Ok, I admit it, I\'m an idiot. I didn\'t realize that Silent Hill 2 had originally been released on PS2, was ported over the xbox, and now is being ported back.. :mad:
Bleh. I really am stupid
-
:laughing:
Good thing you cleared that up... the title certainly raised my eyebrow.
-
but this version has the extra scenario dammit!
:fro:
-
Did someone say Capcom??
Huh.. must be imagining things...
-
Hmmmmmmm. So much for that "exclusive" version for the Xbox. :rolleyes:
Gotta love a port of a port. Wonder if Capcom will follow suit with that other game. Hmmmmmmmm. ;)

-
Silent Hill 2 is simply put incredible!
It really is an amazing game, one of the best on the PS2.
So its good news that PS2 owners will now see the extra sernario its just I can\'t see many owners of the original game getting it. I hear the extra game can be completed in around 20 minutes and just explains how Maria came about in the game.
-
Well, i didnt get SH2, might wait for this new one before i pick up a copy

the xbox here in Japan is pretty much close to dead as of current: there just isn\'t enough games or anything of quality flowing in, thus not a lot of people even know that its still there, for instance television commercials were plentiful for the xbox when it was first released here, but now there\'s only one commercial that I know of that\'s runnin for the xbox, and its for Halo (as compared with I dunno how many numerous tv ads they run for PS2 games, including 3 different ads for the PS2 console itself, using the slogan "Does everyone have one?", and all of you out there who are reading this really have to realize that this is simply one long run-on sentence.)
... how did it go from Silent Hill 2 to xbox sales in Japan?? :confused:
-
i still thnk they should just make it a add on disc, and if you buy sh2,you get the addon disc for free, but if you already own sh2 you can buy it for a £5-10
