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" fix works as a no-cd crack as well, and is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW widescreen fixes mentioned in guide, the sh2proxy's EXE works as no-cd crack too.

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.
You can now see fine emulator settings for SH1 in the guide. You may also try the newer PGXP emulator for wobble-free PS1 graphics.

you've literally played one of the worst games in the whole series, and a total bastardization of the glorious quadrilogy the Team-Silent once created.

Yes, SH1-4 are all superb. Literally the pinnacle of oldschool survival horror genre, plus revolutionizers of the genre thanks to their themes and style.

Grab the games from the links above, and play them in release order. Preferably multiple times each, and never on Easy modes.
Forget anything you think you might have learned from the Origins. It's just like a horrible fanfic, made by ignorant morons who had to salvage an almost canceled project of another, even more incompetent team.

>>377355292
Yes, although SH4's quality is debatable. You shouldn't skip the first game either.

I have a modded PS2 so i can play them on there. Is it better on PS2 or PC cause I have a good PC as well?

>>377355560
#4 might be the weakest of the TS-original Silent Hill games, but it's still a great horror and SH-game. After that one though... I can only recommend Shattered Memories, with a small caution and open mind.

>>377356102
Play it on ps2

>>377356102
Both versions have their pros and cons, and it really goes to nit-picking zone.

PS2 versions are obviously the very originals, and you lose next to nothing by playing them.

However, the PC ports being legit PC games, and 15 years old at this point, they're piss easy to run even on craptops of yesteryears. At HD resolutions and stuff.

One reason to play the PC's SH2 would be seeing the Director's Cut -only new content (Born From A Wish -campaign, new end).

Just don't skip SH1 for any reason. It's a superb game, and very essential in the series' lore.

>>377356102
PC ports of 2 and 3 are fine. 3 in particular has incredibly high res textures for its time. You'll need to patch SH2 to run on a single CPU core by downloading this:
https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp#sh2

I can't remember how good the SH4 port was though.

>>377356135

It's pretty different in style, but I'd still recommend playing it.

It's not really as outright scary as the original games, but the story and atmosphere is good.

I actually kinda like origins

>>377356658
The game is built around a pretty good concept: there's a psychologist in it that tests your personality, and as you progress you'll see more and more of yourself projected onto the actual game. It can be something important and obvious such as an entire cutscene playing out differently, or something really subtle like graffiti on a wall. However, the game is unlike the original games so I wouldn't recommend if all you want is just more classic Silent Hill.

>>377356658
Shattered Memories is very different but it is by far the best post SH4 game in the series.

...and the story is legitimately good, don't let /v/ tell you any different.

>>377356658
Shattered memories is quite unique, and you should play it if possible

I felt like Origin's weakness was that a lot of the story was just there for SH1 characters to make cameos without really having a full or conclusive arc about them. I would have preferred if it was just about Travis and his parents.

The music was good though.

Loved a lot of the ideas it had, especially the early apartment sections, with Henry trying to reach the outside world and failing at every turn, but things start to feel more frustrating than scary when the ghosts and escort missions come into play.

That comparison video is bullshit because it compares vanilla SH2 PS2 vs Director's cut PC version. Director's cut PS2 version has the same sound as the PC version, just with echo and higher quality. Team Silent changed the sound for all versions, PS2 version included.

I kind of have a soft spot for Downpour. It doesn't really compete with the originals, and it has the weakest monster designs in the series, but I kind of liked some of the ideas that an open-world Silent Hill had. Though it's ironic that all the best scares that I remember were completely optional to find.

At the very least it was trying to do its own thing.

>>377359394
>it was trying to do its own thing.
I have no idea how anyone can say that.
The plot's trying to pull SH2 all over again, the mailman's a thing from the terrible comics, and the whole otherworld shenaniga's is like totally out of American McGee's alice. Oh, and places are simply just haunted now.

Is it worth playing Silent Hill 2 if I've never played a Silent Hill before? Did it age well?

>>377360754
I actually liked the family idea behind Homecoming.

Just wish they rehashed less of SH2's ideas to do it.

>>377361706
I'd say it's still worth playing. fyi, if you think the controls feel outdated, they have several control options to choose from.

>>377357587
Same here. The music was good, true, shame its overused in every level. Very rarely that game had a moment of silence where you just ear the ambient noise... It killed the tension from most of the levels.

It's a standalone story, so SH2 is a fine entry point.

How it's aged might be subjective though. I think it's a genuine classic if you're interested in psychological horror at all, but the actual gameplay is definitely a little rough.

What? I don't remember a message like this in SH3.
If you're talking about Heather giving birth to God if she kills Claudia, that's more of the God feeding from violence and suffering and having the strenght to be born rather than a message about revenge.

Douglas tried to tell Heather that throwing herself into danger in Silent Hill for the sake of revenge wouldn't solve anything, but she brushes it off.

It's not the main recurring message or anything, I just find it amusing that she ignored the obvious moral and played things straight.

Though that isn't saying much.

>>377362664
>>377364264
The first one is decent but relies too much on the cult and it's terribly executed. This is what SH1 and SH3 do so well, even though both are all about the cult, you mostly interact with the results of their actions and not the cult itself.

Now the sequel is a genuine disaster, one of the worst movies ever made.

The thing that still stands out about the movie to me is the ending scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu1RgAQXZDY


I don't know, I just found it really haunting. The lack of dialogue, the somber music, the way it's shot. It veers off from the game's plot, but it feels like it's the closest the movies got to that genuine Silent Hill feeling for me.

>>377367725
Exactly. So it wasn't "You were dead the whole time", it's "You were not what you thought you were at all".

I'm not saying it's a flawless game (I happen to think the GAME itself is kinda ass) I'm just saying that the story is more complicated than "Lol, ghosts tho!", and certain aspects of the imagery are interesting.

>>377368059
Harry was dead the whole time, the game made you think you were Harry. Thus it was literally, You were dead the whole time, what a twist.

To be fair, you could boil most of the game's stories down like that if you wanted.

Harry wants to find his daughter. A wacky cult takes exception to that.

James is running away from something he doesn't want to admit. Pyramid Head takes exception to that.

Heather doesn't want to remember the past. Claudia takes exception to that, while the wacky cult takes exception to her.

Eh, it was an interesting idea that Walter was the real star of SH4, but I think they could have done more with Henry and the victims as well.

It was really odd for a Silent Hill game to have your character meet other survivors and not even make a big enough deal out of it for them to have a cutscene and talk to each other.

I get that Henry's quiet, but it feels like he doesn't even really care about what's going on half of the time.

>>377369384
There is no silent hill manifestation at all in SM, zero none, no cult, no spiritual energy. Its all an illusion in her head. Fucking nothing happens in SM. You can defend SM for having good graphics, and pretty decent controls, the ice was neat and the the actual reading into what the player does aspect works. You can't defend it for its non-existant story, its boring characters, or its fucking pathetic puzzles(minus the one or 2 in the school, which were still not great, but definitely better than all the others in the game.)

>>377369554
Walter really is the best villain of the series at least. He's not cartoonishly evil, he just wants his mom, so you feel bad for him even though he's a monster who's murdered dozens of people in terrible ways.

Did you guys hear the news? Death Stranding is secretly Silent Hills. Some tripfag told me, so it must be true.

>>377369336
I actually thought it was interesting change from how supporting casts were done in previous games. In the other Silent Hills it's pretty obvious that everyone you meet in town is off kilter. But in Shattered Memories, you're the only one who's acting strange because reality keeps shifting and none of your memories match up to what other people are saying.

Not to mention that, a lot of them might not even be real. Michelle's story basically mirrors Cheryl's, romanticizing the idea of someone who doesn't really exist in her life anymore, which might imply that she's another delusion, like Harry.

>>377369554
Room of Angel also is easily one of my favorite SH tracks

>>377369763
Claudia is my favorite, unlike Dhalia, she doesn't really know its a demon, and she truly thinks she is saving the world. Plus you have her past with Alessa that plays into it as well, her pure faith in the god that let's her do terrible things because she believes its for the better good. Unlike Dhalia, Eddie, or even Walter who acted selfish.

>>377368929

>>377370576
See, the way I see it, is that the down kinda let's you play into your fantasy in 2. You can play into it (Maria ending, killing people as Eddie) or you can reject it and become a better person(or kill yourself, which would be James coming to terms with what he really wants). Eddie fails this by killing over and over, and eventually falls apart because of this.

>>377370636
I like Murphy more than Travis, Downpour doesn't fuck up the story on SH1 unlike Origins. I love the look of the Downpour otherworld, even if it isn't scary. Origins is just bland all around and leaves a bad taste. Downpour is generally worse on average, but has a few high points:
Sewer side quest
The fucking play puzzle
...I kinda like how he went into other's nightmares and was the boogeyman for the coplady?

>>377370595
Mumblers are easily avoided, not like the million slurpers you encounter on tight halls on SH3

If anything i'd argue that dogs and air screamers were the real pain in the ass in SH1 but it's still not nearly as recurrent as in SH3

>>377370885
I ran from nearly every enemy in the halls in SH3 consistently. The only time I fought was in the rooms when it couldn't be avoided. I felt like SH1 had more enemies you had to fight, especially in the sewer.

Oh right, I did like the play puzzle. I do think that Murphy being Anne's bogeyman would have been better if the DLC actually came out or if the comic came out on time though.

>(Lisa banging kauffman? Fucking really?)
He was her dealer, so I wouldn't say it was a huge stretch for them to have had relations.

It bothered me more that characters like Lisa didn't really do anything in Origins. She has no connection to Travis or the main plot, she just kind of keeps popping up and then doesn't really show up again in the end. It just felt kind of fanservicey.

Downpour doesn't even have Akira yamaoka it's not a silent hill game. Even the worst silent hills like origins shit on downpour. It's nonsensical and broken and unplayable. What a fucking travesty.

This game made me mad as fuck.

Remember the scream Murphy does when hes being chased or hit? What the fuck?

>>377371052
Its a neat concept, but badly implemented. It was way better done in 2. Eddie thinks you are egging him on, and you appear as Angela's mom for a moment both of which were way better done.

>>377370973
Oh yeah the sewers were pretty bad, i'll agree on that

I just feel like SH3 wasted away a lot of potential with adding so many enemies, I also ran from most enemies in halls but that meant i had no time to stop and appreciate the work that had gone in the textures and artwork which is one of the major things that draws me to SH.

I felt SH1 had a much better atmosphere that encouraged running through and excellent ost that makes you feel paranoid or panicked while SH2 has the appeal of SH3 and it actually gives you time to appreciate it

>>377371316
My other reasoning for why I like 3 more than 1 is here:
>>377370051

>>377371316
Luckily, on a first run of SH3, you can kill every fucking thing if you want.

>town kinda let's you play into your fantasy in 2
But Maria was sick in the end too, like Mary. So I don't think it's the town just indulging their wishes in the end if they buy into it. Though self-loathing seems to fuel the town's delusions for the three people drawn to it. Less about the town wanting to punish people, and more like it lets them do all the damage to themselves.

While Laura is probably just chilling out exploring a perfectly normal resort town.

>>377371129
I still found it less frustrating than the second half of The Room.

Yes that is what I meant by plays into your fantasy, it makes you think you are getting what you want, but its not. I should have been more clear.

SH4 is about autism, social anxiety and hikikomori behavior. Henry is just disconnected from everything and everyone even when there are creatures from hell wandering around.

>>377372314
Did they ever acknowledge Henry as a shut-in in the game? I remember the creators mentioning that, but don't recall any of the characters really talking much about him.

>>377353546

Maybe I'm just remembering instruction book wrong.
>Henry is a "calm" young man who "never lets his feelings show".
More about his introversion than him being genuinely agoraphobic.

>>377373335
Ah, all right, I can understand that. He does seem introverted given his interaction with that first chick who literally said she'd bang him for helping her.

>>377371080
>It just felt kind of fanservicey.

This is the problem with Origins. It's cheap attempt to connect with the original game is just a terrible idea. If Origins was just about a trucker who ends up in Silent Hill accidentally and gets fucked, it would've been much better.

>>377373928
>given his interaction with that first chick who literally said she'd bang him
To be fair, I'm not sure how he's expected to respond, after being locked in his apartment for days on end and crawling into an abandoned subway tunnel with a random party girl.

Yeah but then he kinda blows her off and abandons her.

>>377374427
I imagined that he either raided the bowling alley's storage or he saw a section of town normal enough that he could buy one. Unless Pyramid Head delivers.

Though I guess it's kind of tragic in retrospect if readily made food is just a part of his delusional perception of the town tying into his self conscious perception of his weight.

Yes, i agree with everything they say. In fact, after i watched the entire TRSHE, it made Silent Hill's lore feel even richer.

I don't even understand why that Silent hill forum hates them.

>>377376367
Because they disagree and what to think what they think and Twin Perfect is totally unapologetic about being right. Also because the later games kinda shit on all the lore which is what the forums and such follow as canon as well, while Twin Perfect bases everything on the first 3 games.

Best bet is a spiritual successor of sorts.

>>377376683
Oh yeah, there's that. I noticed most Silent Hill forum users are Tumblrites who like Silent Hill because of the "MUH PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF MUH FEARS AND TRAUMAS" trope that SH2 created, so no wonder they like the Western Silent Hill games.

>>377378318
I mean I like that part of the series too, SH2 is my favorite, but they disregard stuff from the other games to try and make that is what the series is about. When it was about occultism and natural spiritual power warping the world. Like, maybe they never saw Twin Peaks neither, because growing up watching that gave me the perfect point of view to look at Silent Hill from that angle I feel that it was intended.

I wonder why? Does her dad touch her or something?

>>377378874
What the other anon's post was implying is that they want it to be "their own" trauma, as in like self inserting their traumas. The only game to do that was 2(I suppose you could argue the penis' in 3 count as well, but I figured that was more just the theme of impregnation of demon god, not heather's fear of it, since she never says she is scared of that.). In 1 you were going through another person's suffering, not your own.

I suppose a better question is what happens to Laura if you kill yourself.

>>377378629
The thing is that Alessa does that because she is special. Harry, Kaufmann, Lisa, Dahlia all experience Alessa's hell, because the otherworld is Alessa's creation.

Whenever a "How would you survive in Silent Hill" thread shows, some smartass always replies "i never did anything bad and i don't fear anything, so nothing would happen to me lol", which is completely missing the point of the games.

I watched Twin Peaks in VHS back in 1996, in a wooden house in a small town. I get nostalgic just by thinking about it.
Then i played Silent Hill when it came out, and my love for small towns just increased.

I only played silent hill 2 I play a lot more fallout and I feel silent hill generals and new vegas generals are in the same boat. Sure us fallout fans get a new fallout but its never the same when the OG guys arent at the steering wheel developing the game so our series is kinda dead. Much like silent hill doesnt really have hopes of a new proper silent hill.

While I'm here I'd like to mention I own silent hill 1 on ps3 digitally. Does playing SH1 prior to SH3 enchance the experience of SH3?

>>377380346
That's kind of the vibe I got, but I assume it'll be more action driven.

Probably the same thing that Konami thought when they devs were making The Room.

Someone had an original idea, but they ended up throwing the Silent Hill name onto it during early production to get some more extra marketing hype.

>>377380648
But the room, despite having a lot of fucking problems at least kinda fits in. The western ones don't really do that at all, maybe its because it still had some members of the dev team prolly.

Walter, the orphanage and the circular prison are all mentioned in SH2 though. I even recall reading some pretty cool theories about the Walter Sullivan's grave in SH2.

Getting to see the circular prison with your own eyes is a huge disappointment nonetheless. When i read about a "circular structure" in the middle of the Toluca Lake, i imagined this hellish industrial nightmare, especially after it's implied the energy comes from the depths of the lake itself.

SH4 causes more harm than good with all the teleporting around and Walter's personal otherworld. It breaks so many rules of the lore and doesn't even take place in Silent Hill, it really would be better if it wasn't a Silent Hill game and was simply called The Room.

It feels like she's essentially giving herself up to the flames and the trauma she couldn't get past. Her ultimate fate is left ambiguous though.

The "painting" looks like a male figure that's had its genitalia dismembered, which probably either relates to what Angela did to her father, or feelings of what she wanted to happen to him.

If I was president of a company like EA or something, I would do whatever I could to get people who are passionate about the games they made under my label, regardless of actual skill.

There were people making the original Silent Hill that literally didn't go home. They stayed past close of business and slept on the floor when they couldn't keep going. People who are passionate about what they are doing like that just need to be given a canvas and time. Skill will come with experience, and as long as you let them pursue their passions, you know you'll get a product with a cult following, at minimum.

Having entire teams of people like that would certainly be an investment, but it would almost certainly pay off over time.

The ambiance of the SH OST is genuinely great and atmospheric. SH2's OST in particular is pretty emotional and evokes some feelings.
