Is it strange that of all the Silent Hill announcements ... I am most looking forward to (

I’ve had my PS2 out lately and have been using it with a small CRT that I’ve been lugging around for the past 10 years. And John Linneman of Digital Foundry made a comment recently that part of what made SH and SH2 so good was that their art style was intended for low-resolution screens and that they enhanced the sense of unease and uncertainty by not revealing fine details that might break immersion. Great, I thought. I’ll just find some used copies and play them how God intended. Well, both SH1 and 2 are currently selling for over $150 each on ebay, and that’s even for the ugly greatest hits version! So I guess I’m waiting until the Silent Hill bubble bursts or else I find a garage sale that doesn’t know how much Internet idiots will pay for them.

Arguably that holds good for PS1 content and 2D PS2 games, which do look like god intended on a CRT screen or with a CRT filter on. I'd say most 3D games from the PS2 era almost uniformly scale up well to higher resolutions without the need for CRT fuzz; at least I haven't seen anything from that time period actively diminished by it.

The OG PS2 SH2 release had the option to remove the crappy film grain (called "noise filter" by the game) once you finished the game. The game looked amazing with it off. SH3 looked better than a lot of early gen PS3/X360 games.
If there are any games that would shine from high resolutions, it's SH2&3. I've never played the PC ports but the high resolution screenshots that I've seen over the years looked amazing. These games don't remakes, just remasters to bring compatibility with modern hardware.
