Just about everything to be honest.
SH1 > all the rest.

-Largest, most interesting and varied town sections.
-Best pacing out of the whole series; the slow beginning and Apartments in SH2 really grind people's gears.
-Great, varied major locations (School, hospital, sewers...)
-Better enemy and boss variation, all of 'em are fairly dangerous
-Nicely balanced difficulty, both action & puzzles.
-Scary as fuck, full of mindfuck parts as well
-Great visual design, full of small details.
-Awesome soundtrack and audiowork in general.

>>376222587
You're wrong. SH2 is like a standalone expansion pack to SH1, and way less scary + notably easier to boot.

I was playing this then got sidetracked with other games. Jumped back to it and suddenly I'm fighting the cop (Cyril?) as a boss. Controls are all
Wack and foreign again though. I want to play SH3 but feel like I'm
Supposed to finish the first. How much left is there of SH1 after the cop boss? (Not sure if my save file deleted as well )

It's all around a pinnacle of the survival horror genre, right alongside with REmake. Superb art-design, awesome soundtrack and audio work, nicely challenging, and spooky af. Tons of replay value as well, thanks to multiple endings, unlockables, and numerous small details and symbolism you easily can miss on your first playthrough(s).

Now that is out of the way, let's repost the handy SH PC Guide + the DL links to games:

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" is a all-in-one fix, that works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!

In case you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.

SH2-4 do not support Xinput gamepads. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M.
You can now see some decent emulator settings for SH1 as well in the guide. If the image of the game does NOT fill your entire screen in fullscreen mode, check your plugin AND GPU control panel's image scaling settings!
Also give the new PGXP emulator a shot for a lot less wobbly PS1 graphics.

>>376220938
It isn't exactly brilliant in the gameplay department but everything else is fucking superb.

>>376223521
If its been a while since you played it last then sure. Do not play SH 2 or 3 from the HD collection, they are awful.

just don't play the hd remake, its not worth it

SH2 > All the others

>>376223521
I don't think there's any relevant difference. But dude, you're really doing yourself and the games a disservice by playing the "HD" version of SH3. SH2 is SOMEWHAT acceptable because, ignoring graphical glitches and stupid decisions, you can at least still use the original dub, but with 3 you're stuck with the new awful one, and the game has this weird problem that suddenly makes you walk either too slow or too fast because the framerate is all fucked

You have a PS3, right? Don't those read PS2 discs? You could pirate the games and play them that way if you don't have a PC

Yeah. The game can be easily ran through in less than 2 hours if you know what you're doing. Might just as well pay more attention to the surroundings and plot this time around, as you prolly missed something.

>Also I've got SH3 on the hd collection on both PS3 and 360
Jesus fuck, why would you do that?? Why would someone give money for THE biggest blunder of the century, twice?!

>anyone know if SH3 runs better on the ps3 or 360?
PS3, simply because Xbox one never got patches. But don't expect it to be much "better" anyway; the tech and graphics are still a mess, and you have to deal with the awful, awful new voices + terribly remixed soundtracks.

>>376224046
Never ever, because Konami has never cared for Silent Hill in the first place.

Also, in native form, SH1 is not "blurry". It's crisp as fuck. And I do honestly think that the low-poly, low-res visuals add to the eerie, uncanny feel.

Thanks for using my ancient screencap compilation tho!

>>376224225
>You have a PS3, right? Don't those read PS2 discs?
Not him, but ONLY the first, "fat" release versions of PS3 ever ran PS2 discs. All the other versions cut the feature out completely.

I find it a bit disturbing people don't remember this anymore. Only a bit less so than the fact that some Anons didn't know that PS2 runs PS1 discs tho'.

>>376224225
>You have a PS3, right? Don't those read PS2 discs
I think only one version of the ps3 could play ps2 games and those were prone to get the ylod
I doubt he have the one that can

No one liked their business practices of 7th gen in the first place, but PS3 is still way better investment than 4. At least it has a impressive gaming library, and ALL PS3 versions still do run PS1 discs. And they also have notably bigger PSN store library, which for some weird reason is NOT accessible on PS4.

This stll gives me shivers after all these years.

I played it last Halloween: it's a pertty good game, entertaining story, decent puzzles, great atmosphere. I think it holds up pretty well.

>>376224791
Yeah, can't deny that. I meant people act like Sony is deeply caring and still helping support the PS3 with games, as if they made P5 or the latest sports game rehash (and as if the latter ever matters). But to be fair that's mostly for the sake of shitting on the Wii U by comparison

Btw, got me curious, is the PS4 backwards compatible instead?

>>376225019
>is the PS4 backwards compatible instead?
No.
At all.

>>376225019
>is the PS4 backwards compatible instead
No, they went full jew and you have to buy a (((psNOW))) subscription in order to play PS3 games. In streaming. I still like the PS4 thought, and you can find a ps3 pretty cheap these days. the PS3 can also be hacked fairly easy from what I've heard.

>>376225491
it's even more bitter irony knowing that it was Sony that pretty much spawned the whole backwards-compatibility thing with PS2, which meant that people could use their already existing, vast game libraries on the next-gen console, thus making it a complete upgrade.

Nowadays, it seems like instead of offering this handy (and fairly easily + cheaply provided) function, they instead want to generate even more cash by making people buy exclusive ports of their old games, again.

It's one reason I'm sticking to my old consoles with claws and teeth now, and also why I actually ended up grabbing a 2nd-hand WiiU just now: having a single system that can run games from 3 generations (GC-WiiU) natively, and who knows how much more via homebrew emulation, is just amazing deal IMO.

I'd like to add some even less known facts about this:
>PS3 consoles that had a physical PS2 emulation chip were never even released in PAL regions
>later PS3 versions used software emulation but this was eventually removed in a system update for no given reason
>neither physical or software emulation were 100% accurate or bug free

But seriously though, we "know" what the reason was -Sony thinking the emulation would eat their digital PS2 game sales- but I just wanted to stick to facts in that list.

>>376220938
The atmosphere is like 90% of what makes a good horror game, that's basically what it did right the most, that and great sound direction. The gameplay isn't anything great but I do think it's controls slightly better than the PS1 Resident Evil games.

Nothing, combat is awful, the only thing you do is either running like a headless chicken between the key items and puzzles, gathering resources on the way, or stop every 30 secs to press r1 and square until all enemies die. And the story is completelly retarded and full of plotholes.

It's pure style over substance, a game created solely because RE was popular and Konami wanted a carbon copy, and wich only exells in its art and music, both of which were great.
