Who? You mean that pachinko machine manufacturer?

>>378422386
No.
Also, if you're talking about the RE1's REmake, that's not just a remaster. It's a full-blown remake, made from scratch.

And yes, SH1 Remake done by OG group would be amazing.

>>378422805
what's the best silent hill track?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY92NAdGaR4

>>378422386
How is this game? I've heard 2&3 are great, not much about 1, just for reference I've play all the classic REs and liked them.
I've been meaning to Silent Hill 1, might get it off eBay if you'd recommend.

>>378424163
Better than all of them combined.
1 is the game to play,and if you crave for more of the same emulate Silent Hill Origins on PSP,its the same style now in arcade mode.
Autist will scream about muh lore but who give a shit literally.

>>378424352
Cheers, been wanting to broaden my collection. Without spoilers, what's the game play like, is it at all similar to 2?

>>378424163
It's pretty great. One of my absolute favs. It does the being alone in a misty town-bit the best of all four original games.

>>378424617
Pretty much, menu navigation is different though.

>>378424709
That's good to hear, I do like good atmosphere and exploration of a lonely place.

>>378424739

>>378424617
The game is more like The Mist meets Twin Peaks meets Carrie meets Phantoms meets good game design and devs that knows how to scare through atmosphere and mindfuckery

SH1 is still the best game in the series, and SH1-3 all PLAY the same. The atmosphere changes a bit between all of them, but they're rooted to same basic designs. Compared to SH2, SH1 is more terrorizing, scarier and aggressive by its mood and pace.

Play them all in release order, preferably multiple times each. Here's the SH PC Guide + DL links:

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.

>>378424910
Thanks a lot, Anon, I plan to buy them all eventually, like I've done with RE.
I will test the games out with those downloads to see if I like them though.
Basically, I've been avoiding any spoilers for SH as I've always wanted to get into it, but I know it does disturbing imagery and atmosphere really well.

I was pretty damn HC RE-fan as a kid, and thought that SH would be just one of the many RE-clones that'd popped up at the time. However, once I finally ended up playing SH1... jesus living fuck how horrifying!

I pretty much switched teams that moment. Still love me some RE1-4 as always, but SH1-4 are just sooo much deeper, varied and disturbing experiences. Yet gameplay-wise, they're clearly like long lost cousins to classic REs, thus you should be right at home with them after a moment.

>>378425603
Not OP, but I've actually made your same argument on the graphics. I legit think good graphics have killed the horror genre. The better the graphics, they better the conveyance, and for all of those late PS1/early PS2 era horror games, the graphics were good enough to give you an idea, but not good enough to make that idea clear.

The player filled in the gap with their imagination. The irony of it all is that being more adept at conveying what the "horror" of the game is meant to be actually damages the ability to inflict said horror.

This. At least in 90s and early 00s, games were still very varied, to the point that different games of seemingly the same genre could be polar opposites of each others style and gameplay-wise.

Nowadays, it seems what differentiates "good" games from "bad" ones is the budget of their marketing.

>>378424163
It's my favorite of the first three

Can we all agree that Midwich Elementary was the scariest part of SH1?

>>378426270
Remake has a negative connotation to it in the normie purview. It's associated with all the shitty movies that have come out in the last few years that have been cashgrabs. But a remaster? Boy. That sounds awesome. Remasters are what they do with classic rock albums. That's how you know this thing's gonna be awesome.

That, basically. it's why early access changed from work in progress to a work in process. A change in nomenclature because people were catching on to getting fucked over by low effort games.

I only played through the PS1 era RE games last year and they definitely held up. They feel more like games if that makes sense. The puzzles, the logical leaps you have to make, memorizing item locations and actually learning the games' maps. They had some genuinely good scares, too. Don't get me wrong. There were plenty of times I'd hit a dead end and quit in frustration only to come back to it later and have an oh shit moment and it would make perfect sense but over all it was a pretty good time.

It's not. It's the best western "Silent Hill" game. Only bad thing about it is inability to fight.
It's not even a remake per se. Konami ordered a remake, so studio had to take everything they've made so far and turn into "remake".

>>378431390
That's counting SM? I usually play 1-4 only. I have tried replaying the others but usually leave them in the middle. Though I kinda still love the atmosphere in Origins and SM .

It's a timeless classic, no need to Markiplify it for the nu-males.

No it fucking didn't. Monsters look like hobos that didn't pass Condemned casting, interiors are copypasted and uninteresting and story was another guilt trip that didn't make sense at all.
Turning otherworld into Wonderland didn't help it since they ruined it with a red void that's chasing you.

Homecoming, on the other hand, had nicely designed monsters and Yamaoka's soundtrack (even if they didn't know where to put it).

>>378438803
Downpour's worst is better than Homecomings "best". People can say that Downpour was a poor man's SH2, but HC was that also.

>>378439061
I agree the monsters in Downpour were an all-time low for the series but it was still far more fun and atmospheric than Homecoming.

The gameplay was hair-pullingly frustrating, illogical, and plain out unfair. People can bitch and whine about tank controls all they want in SH1-3, they clearly have never touched the truly clunky controls of Downpoor.

Nor do I appreciate the game's generic, modern style of changing the whole play-style for "cinematic set pieces", like those fucking water-sliding sections, and handful of QTE-wannabes.

And lets not forget about the super fun-fun of COMPLETELY EMPTY, COPYPASTE OPENWORLD. Yes, THAT is exactly what SH needed! Not a cohesive and well written plot with memorable sections & puzzles, but side quest gallore with zero connection to anything, placed in copy-pasted BUILDINGS at worst. Not just rooms, but entire fucking houses, copied and pasted around.

Atmosphere? Wew, those EMPTY streets with screeching dudes occasionally jumping at you sure is ATMOSPHERIC. Even more so since you hear roughly TWO tunes on repeat throughout the entire game, none of 'em made by Akira Yamaoka. Those horrible UE3 console graphics with their stock sunshaft filter effect certainly don't flatter the end result either.

>>378439347
>At least Downpour tried to be a Silent Hill game
no, it tried to be a Alone In The Dark 2009: Alan Wake edition.

HC at least sounds, looks and feels like a SH game most of the time, no matter how awful The Movie: The Game -title it is.

They are both shit, but Downpour is irredeemable.
Devs managed to fuck up monster disigns, interior designs and sound design. On top of that they took worst thing from SM (running away mechanic) and implemented them in every fucking otherworld sequence.
But hey, they've added retarded "sidequests" that should help the atmosphere. Too bad they are horrible too.

>>378439764
>I wouldn't expect you to read an a fucking blog of my opinion on Downpour.
Yeah, tells a lot about Downpoor fans.
The typical SH fans I know and relate to would gladly spend 2 hours dissecting a single game to bits, analyzing every single pixel and byte until their ultimate hidden meanings become apparent.

tl;dr: Fuck off, and start reading.

I'm not a typical SH fag. Don't give a fuck about lore or any of that and I certainly don't wanna spend more than a couple minutes arguing about a late-entry Silent Hill that was fun but not mind blowing.

Either way, I'd wager I've been playing Silent Hill since you were an itch in your dad's crotch. Silent Hill was one of the first games I bought on release date because I was so fucking pumped from the demo disc.

HC looks better, partly thanks to custom in-house engine of the devs, aimed for the target platform of 7th gen consoles, and thanks to it truly trying to simulate the SH games + film with its designs and color palettes. It's amazing how much just having the same fonts and item finding effects add to the overall experience. The enemy design and variation is obviously miles above the clowns of DP.

Sound design works way better thanks to Akira's involvement + recycling of old SH sounds. Once again, the end result is like a bootleg copy of a well known series.

Gameplay also is way smoother, with the control scheme making actually some fucking sense. HC also does not do foolish things, like requiring you to use certain melee weapons, while simultanously limiting the number of weapons you can carry + making all weapons break apart. You can literally lock yourself out in DP if you accidentally throw your key-item weapon to a ditch.

Story is a silly mess, but at least it's mostly self-contained side story spinoff, barely even taking place in SH.

Now, I will repeat once more that I'm definitely not fond of HC, DP, nor Origins. I pretty much loathe them all. That being said, I was able to replay HC once, hope I won't have to do it again any time soon. The other two I shall never even touch again.
