Upcoming Silent Hill games re-dated

It seems that Konami has changed their minds about the releases dates for their Silent Hill games at the very last minute. Even though we were just given release date information for Silent Hill Downpour last week, we now have a new date for the latest entry in the series. Hold on, don’t freak out just yet, Silent Hill Downpour has been pushed by just a week from its original March 6th date. Downpour will now officially arrive on March 13th; for real this time.

Unfortunately, the Silent Hill HD Collection has also been delayed from its original release of January 24th. This is very unfortunate, because I was hoping to spend some time maxing out the achievements in both Silent Hill 2 and 3 this month. The new date for the HD Collection is March 6th. Delays hurt, but hopefully it’s for the greater good. In this case, the game’s level of polish.

Lastly, Silent Hill Book of Memories, the Playstation Vita spinoff title, will release March 27th. This no longer puts it in the launch window of the Playstation Vita. If my time with the game is any indication of its level of completion, then by all means delay it, Konami. Nothing worse than an unpolished game.

Well, there you have it. Just like that we now have the–hopefully–final release dates for the three upcoming Silent Hill games. Hell, I certainly hope so! March 13th is my birthday; the last time a high profile horror series released on my birthday was Resident Evil 5, wait… I hope that’s not a bad omen.
