Monica Taylor Horgan supported giving fans an option as well. Guy's close connection with fans of the series played a strong part in his decisions regarding these issues. Guy also called for Konami to allow the original voices and give fans the option to choose between the original dub and the re-dub. In a letter to Konami, Guy stated that it was not about the money but rather 'the thoughtless way that those involved in the production have been treated' such as not notifying him of any re-releases and hiding his contributions in ' The Making of Silent Hill 2' video. No written contract between Guy and Konami was available. McGlynn, Troy Baker and Thessaly Lerner refuted this, stating that Guy did not own James's voice and motion capture and that his performance was always owned by Konami this was the reason Konami never paid Guy for residuals. The reason for the re-dub was due to Guy Cihi requesting residuals for the multiple ports and re-releases of Silent Hill 2 as he claimed that he owned the rights to James's voice and motion capture. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn was approached by Konami to direct the re-dub. This resulted in both versions of the HD Collection being hampered by severe technical issues.

The collection was originally supposed to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but an Xbox 360 release was eventually announced.ĭue to the age of both games involved, the only code available to be given to Hijinx Studios by Konami was an unfinished incomplete beta build of the final version because Konami lost the source code. It was revealed that both games would be given new voice-overs. Silent Hill HD Collection was first announced in Konami's 2011 Pre-E3 show.

The collection was directed by Tomm Hulett.
