+1 to Silent Hill 1, 2, 3 and Downpour....
Silent Hill 4 is a forgettable game ...
because they didn't.
Really hoping they come soon after. It's honestly a dream of mine to see these games available outside of the horrible "HD Remaster" and on GOG of all places!

Actually, SH 2 and 3 had PC ports (see pic*) along with SH 4. SH1 was Playstation but can be played with an emulator on Windows 10 fine. I have all four on disc and they play great.

Konami managed to lose the code for SH2 and 3 (hence the abysmal HD collection). Wouldn't hold my breath for a release as it would involve more than zero effort on Konami's part, and we all know what they think of SH :/

Does it really matter that they don't have the source code when this is about re-releasing existing ports with minor fixes added and not about doing completly new ports from the ground up?

Right. I was just responding to "because they didn't", but I must have misunderstood what the poster was saying. Thanks.
I think original voices rights could be the biggest issue.

I wouldn't mind to see the games re-released with the HD collection voices... But I don't know if it would be possible (on technical or legal point of view).

Oh right, there was that whole ordeal with the voice actors, but in the end, this got resolved for 2 at least.

Also, the HD collection was basically a new game, while releasing the PC ports here would be a mere re-release of a game for which the usage of these voice actors has already been dealt with, right? Not sure how this works.

The HD collection actually had the original voices in them. so it should not be an issue. even if we get the games but with the reworked voices I would be fine with. Hey at least we get SILENT HILL 2 AND 3 HERE! :)

Only for Silent Hill 2, not for the 3rd one.
Maybe they want to put more work into them before releasing since they're bigger profile?
