Last week the original voice actors of Silent Hill 2, Guy Cihi (James), Monica Taylor Horgan (Mary/Maria) and Dave Schaufele (Eddie) met with Konami Producers Devin Shatsky and Tomm Hulett for some “pizza and beers” in LA. As someone whose been following the HD voice of controversy over the past few months I was so stoked to see such a happy resolution with both sides talking and having a good time. Monica and Guy both posted some fun pictures from the meet up on their respective facebook pages and it looked like everyone had a blast!

Late this afternoon Guy Cihi posted an update regarding the meet up with the team week and the status of the HD collection. According to Guy, the HD Collection is on schedule for its January 2012 release and happily all the major actors for Silent Hill 2 have signed releases… so we will have the option to choose between the new and the old voices! Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with getting the same for Silent Hill 3…

Guy says this is because Konami has been unable to locate/contact Heather Morris, the original voice actress for Heather, and the protagonist of Silent Hill 3. If they can’t get into contact, she can’t sign a rights, meaning the HD game will not be able to include the original voice work.

This is a real bummer to hear. Hopefully Heather can be found soon…maybe they should hire Douglas to track her down? 😉
