>>381902642
Even if 4 is a little sucky, there's no reason it should not have been included. Considering how poorly the port-job was though, I guess it's for the best.

>>381901964
I heard someone say that this port got patched a long time ago and all the shit-talking is undeserving now. Is this true?

I posted in the thread last night why I thought SH2 was a step down (I played them all in order for the first time last year/this year).

-less enemy variety
.smaller world map with less to explore and find
-opening area is waaaaaaaay too long and dull in SH2, which really sapped my enjoyment jumping in

By the time you are FINALLY finishing up the apartments in SH2, comparatively speaking in SH1 you will have explored the opening area of the town and discovered the keys, made your way into the school, and probably made your first trip into the otherworld, if not already beating the area and moving on to the next town section - Three distinct, memorable experiences that throw a lot of new sights, sounds, and plot at the player to unnerve them.

I really loved SH2 but it takes too long to really hit its stride, and even then it has a few unfortunate limitations (perhaps signs of a rushed development?) compared to the two games its sandwiched between.

>>381904040
A lot of posters here (myself included) are broken records about it, but yes. It's an awesome game, and best to go into it blind. It's personally my favorite of the four.

It's best to go in without spoilers, but all I will say is that important items and locations are easily missable if you don't explore the maps. They won't stop you from beating the game, but it might affect the ending you get. Go play it! It's a great game!

>>381903808
SH2 has a weak otherworld and weak enemies that barely fight back. Weak puzzles, weak boss fights.

Silent Hill 2 is so good and it aged so well but the best way to play it is either on a PS2 or if you want HD then PCSX2. The PC version now has a shit ton of mods to fix some of the fuck ups but the PS2 version still the superior.

The PS2 version has superior fog effects, which is a deal breaker in a game where there's fog everywhere, and it's the only version where the CGI is encoded at 60fps which made the game feel more creepy. The PC/Remaster/Xbox version also have worse audio quality and pre-recorded music, so you'll gonna notice when the music ends and restarts.

>>381904531
>>381905043
I understand your points, but i still think 2 is better simply because of the story and characters. James is the best protagonist in the series in my opinion.
The "leave" and "in water" endings gave me a lump in the throat. None of the other games managed to make me care like that.
I also liked how every enemy and location had a reason to exist instead of just being thrown in there because they look spooky. The prison is probably my favorite location in the series.

>>381905845

PC has more fog than PS2 version these days:

But they don't, James could just drive to the hotel and the game would end in an hour.

>>381906398
I also think that SH2 is the best story of the original run of games. It's very well-told, filled with emotion and symbolism, and is an amazing ride start to finish.

I just think of the way the game is designed and feel like I would rather play SH1 or 3, which either offer more satisfying combat, maps, and locations. But when I want to replay SH2 it is solely to experience the story again.

>>381908707
>muh story canon but nobody cares
nah come on now.

The story in SH is half the fun, and the plot of origins is soooo lame. It's deflating to see characters like Dahlia dressed like some white-trash tramp, when your only reference to her is this mysterious, cryptic old lady dressed like a nun in SH1. Not to mention Dr. Kaufmann, a small-time crook in over his head, turns into a scientific mastermind badguy with eeevil poison gas booby traps.

>>381909094
each to his own,I had a blast with the gameplay it simply felt like something SH needed it as a franchise.

>>381908707
It's because Origins not only sucks but it only adds bullshit to the lore. If it added some cool stuff that preceded the events of SH1 and Alessa. If it was just some trucker experiencing some weird stuff and that the otherworld is ancient and existed way before Alessa's ritual, i would have no problems with it. The problem is that it attaches itself to SH1 in the worst way possible and keeps doing fan service for no reason instead of doing it's own thing and having original characters.

Homecoming has the Pyramid Head fanservice and rips a lot of stuff from the movie, but at least it takes place outside of Silent Hill.

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.

>>381904531
This. 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.

>>381910118
It's funny that SH1 feels larger and more open ended than the other two despite being made in a much weaker hardware.

they don't officially support it, as the format did not even exist back then. However, some people have gotten certain gamepads to work out of the box, or with some tweaking.

Man, of all the new SH downpour had the best chance to do something interesting and it totally fucked it up. After hating Origins and Homecoming I tried to be open minded with Downpour, and like in all honestly if someone put a gun to my head and said "You need to play a SH game after 3 or I will murder you." I would probably have to pick Downpour, but I still wouldn't be happy about it.
Shit just had so many wasted opportunities. You had a neat idea with using Murphy as the Cop's bogyman, which was a neat concept brought back from 2 with the people's different nightmare's blending. The problem is that is never worked out, you had guy who killed kids on accident, but it never goes into that, you had D.J. Black Guy, who it never goes into besides a fucking phone call from the town. And you have wheelchaircop, who, is he even in silent hill? Why is he there, did the town create him? Can girlcop see him? Oh right, THE GAME NEVER FUCKING TELLS YOU.

>>381914532
Homecoming was offensively bad to me. Everything was just a complete crock of shit and I could spend hours just listing off all the problems it had, like how the loading screen tips spoil monster reveals and destroy any tension the previous scenes had, or the fact that you fight real human enemies in this which is just fucking stupid. Fuck everything about this game.

comparatively speaking, SH2's town is less interesting, taking in combination James' seemingly slower running speed with less locations to explore.

SH3 doesn't even let you off its railroad path until halfway -if not more- through the game, and even then it is a short stint in a small portion of the SH2 map.

Downpour is like one huge mix of terrible ideas. Those characters like the DJ and the mailman are some of stupidest things ever.

>>381914532
At least Homecoming tries to be Silent Hill, with an industrial otherworld and enemy design that looks grotesque. Downpour's monsters are literally pale crazy women, pale guys, Auschwitz prisoner, juggalos and gas mask man.

Not to mention the fact it turns Silent Hill into a literal purgatory where the people can never leave until they've paid their sins. Since when Silent Hill has been about paying for your sins? And If you don't pay for your sins you have to keep delivering mail for all eternity.

>>381917223
I think 1's town gets a lot of points for dogs and fucking pterodactyls chasing you around. There was a real sense of urgency to figure out where to go and get the fuck off the streets for most of the time. The rare enemies in the streets of SH2 also aren't very fast, meaning you can wander around pretty much unhindered and explore, which was obviously the intent as there's more to see. I think both of these designs has merit, and SH3 went yet another why by having nearly no time in the streets.

>SH3 went yet another why by having nearly no time in the streets.
this is my least favorite thing about SH3. It felt like it was constantly shuttling you from one location to another, without any downtime to decompress.

>>381910000
This needs to be a pastebin and not a png. No, I'm not gonna do it.

>>381918921
>>381920424
>try to explore a little bit of the town
>Heather goes "oh i shouldn't be going this way"

SH3 is full linear. SH2's resort and rural areas are relatively small, but at least you could fully explore it and there were healthy drinks scattered in every corner.

>>381920582
This generation's getting lazier every second

What's the consensus on the Xbox version of SH2? i got it for $14.

>>381901964
>comic sans

>>381921164
I forgot about the text-boxes preventing you from exploring. That was pretty frustrating. I am not really sure why they felt the need to make everything so linear in SH3. I didn't mind it at first, but by the time you were exploring the second or so shopping/apartment complex with no real break in the action it got very fatiguing. The game needed more breathing room.

>>381920537
here's hoping for your three-day ban dude.

>>381921969
Pros:
Per pixel lighting flashlight beam just like the PC version. On the PS2 version the flashlight beam is blocky.
Dynamic lighting has soft shadows just like the PS2 version. PC lacks this.

Cons:
Fog is dramatically reduced just like in the PC version, but PC version has a mod that lets you have even more fog than the PS2 version.
Sound quality is inferior to the PS2 version, a little bit better than the PC version.

>>381923579
for me, the sound quality might be the deciding factor, but honestly, all the differences are so minor that you aren't missing out with either version of the game.

Those silky smooth shadows in the Xbox version are pretty sexy though.

How's Forbidden Siren? Looks very interesting and is from the same director right?

>>381919983
She was a teenager and probably trying to rebel against her pick up and go lifestyle in hiding. Kids don't typically take well to that kinda stuff so it's not unreasonable for her to be angsty. Harry wasn't a bad father, it's probably because he was such a good father but she didn't understand what was going on that she was so pent up and trying to find an identity for herself.

>>381903309
Do re mi

What's with all these Silent Hill threads lately? At least the spike in Resident Evil threads made sense, with RE7 and the movie coming out, but what provoked this? Not that I mind, of course.

>>381924331
Playing through it now, it's pretty great. It definitely has a bit of a Silent Hill-ish feel. There's an obscure local religion, it's heavily implied your in some fog world instead of the real world (characters often remark on places that "shouldn't be here"), and most puzzles are solved with mundane items. The similarities with Silent Hill pretty much end there, however.
There's an ability called sightjack in the game, which allows you to see through the eyes of enemies. Overall, the game is way more stealth-focused than Silent Hill. Also, instead of following the story of one person, you constantly bounce between 10 playable characters, as well as bouncing between different times (such as going from old guy in the morning to little girl last night). This kind of makes it pretty hard to follow the story, and overall it feels like there's more emphasis on the backstory than the main story. Also, unlike Silent Hill, as you bounce between characters you're given a mission and a pretty small map to explore. So you might run around half of a hospital before the mission ends and you're somewhere else. And since these maps are re-used quite a bit, they get kind of old after a while. Nearly every mission has a second mission to complete instead, but the requirements are usually pretty damn obscure, and due to the broken-up timeline it's hard to tell what you need to do to meet the requirements of the second mission.
Don't mean to make so many complaints, just want you to know what you're getting into. It's a pretty damn great game, and anyone who's into horror games will probably like it. Takes a little while to get used to, though.

>>381924781
given how attached Heather is to Harry, it's hard to call him anything but #1 dad. Her room in her apartment says it all: cutesy, pink and cozy, with stuffed animals lining the wall. Her home (wherever it was) was her sanctuary.

It's a little minor detail, but I wasn't a fan of how Harry, as portrayed in SH3, had serious doubts and reservations about Heather - and even was tempted to kill her as a baby.. It just seems so out of character for him, especially after the touching (good) ending of SH1 where he runs from the collapsing otherworld with the baby.

>>381910000
SH2 is missing the noCD patch.

>>381925728
I've always wanted to try out the other Team Silent games, like Silent and Shadow Memories (w/e it's called).

I'm always a bit bummed out that Siren 2, which apparently is much better than the first, never made it out of JPN and PAL territories.

>>381921969
it's good, but only works on Xbox Fat.

>>381927065
*like Siren and Shadow of Memories

>>381926620
like said in the guide: the sh2proxy's EXE is the fix.

>>381924331
A series I wanted to like, but horrible gameplay + shit English dub in original ruined it for me.

>>381921969
It has the same shortcomings as the PC version, except without fixes.
Still, p. litty.

>>381927197
>>381927065
Siren is not Team Silent game at all.

>>381927261
most of those shortcomings are exaggerated nowadays, and Xbox port does run at higher res + has smooth lighting.

Is there a fix for the inferior PC sound?

video related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E5Nt8ahZRk

>>381927665
WOW, it's fucking nothing.

>>381927845
Clearly you are mad about something but rest assured I did not mean offense, I was merely curious if there were mods to replace the PC sounds with the PS2 ones because as show in that video, the PS2 version has the better sounds.

>>381927985
I'm merely pointing out that the differences aren't significant. I'm sorry I hurt your fee-fees.

>>381928154
>muh fee-fees

I think you need to get your ears checked.

>>381928154
C'mon dude. No need to be a dick about it.

>>381927985
I think it's just down to programming. Since the game was programmed to play the sounds from a PS2, they probably had some extra audio manipulation going on that was entirely absent in the PC/Xbox release, which probably just plays the "raw" sounds or something. It doesn't make a huge difference unless you are looking for it, at least.

>>381927665
>>381927985
Like said many times before, that video's both exaggerating and very biased. The difference is NOT that major when actually played, and without such stark side-by-side comparison, you would not realize the difference.

>>381928572
Yeah, even though it probably doesn't make that much of a difference it wouldve been nice to mod that stuff into the PC version so the PC version has even more merit.

>>381903224
Why fight when you are correct? 1 is the weakest of the original three games, and by a wide margin. Nostalgia is the only reason people rank it so high. Even in 1999 it wasn't scary.

>>381928824
You're wrong on all statements.
SH1 is the strongest, most balanced and impressive game, and easily one of the scariest games out there.

>>381928669
>exaggerating and very biased

He didn't link a Crowbcat video, shit turd. That is an honest comparison that shows the PC version is inferior in the sound design, deal with it. Small difference or no difference, it's all in the numbers, fuckwad. Just because you've been pissing and moaning about it "many times" doesn't unfuck the shitty sounds, pissant. God, I hate holier-than-thou shitters.

>>381928885
It's not scary in the slightest. It never was. It's about as scary as Shattered "HEY DUMBASS ENEMIES ARE COMING NO SURPRISES HERE" Memories.

>>381929126
Horror is subjective, I guess, but playing SH1 for the first time a little over a year ago had plenty to make me freak out.

It's not just about jump-scares, or knowing that enemies are coming for you. It's a combination of mood, atmosphere, and in-game events designed to throw you off your guard. The opening of the game in the alleyway is scary because, if you are just starting, you don't know what is happening, you don't know if there's a way to defend yourself, and you will likely be panicking trying to find an exit while the enemies swarm you. Combine that with the eerie camera angles and POV shots that lead up to it, and you have a very tense encounter.

That's just one example, but SH1, outside of obvious loud noises at vulnerable moments, plays tricks with the player and that puts them on edge, if not outright scared. Since part of crafting horror is exploiting the fear of the unknown, SH1 does that pretty well, from the fog covering the town, hearing enemies before seeing them, and pulling the rug out from under their feet when they don't expect it.

>>381907775

i enjoyed it. the mirrors was a neat trick. no where near as good as the others, but i'd say it's worth a play through. the puzzles were also fun.

>>381929109
The audio experience depends on your sound hardware, your settings, your volume, etc. My game sounds nothing like that game in real life.

I actually own both PS2 and PC versions, and the difference absolutely ain't that big.

>>381929126
it's the scariest of them all and always was.
SM ain't scary, but it's a great game.

>>381907775
yes, it's horrible.
No, I wouldn't wish it to even my worst enemy.

>>381929109
That video is bullshit nonetheless. It's comparing Vanilla SH2 PS2 vs Director's Cut SH2 PC. The PS2 Director's Cut has the same exact gunshot sounds as PC but in higher quality, while that video uses vanilla PS2 version to make the difference sound much bigger than it really is.

James's footsteps on the PS2 version produce too much echo by the way, it sounds like James is running inside an hangar even when outdoors.

>>381930095
The mirror idea would be better in a different game unrelated to Silent Hill. Because in Silent Hill it doesn't make any sense.

>>381931448
The games stopped caring about making sense after 3.

>>381932364
You mean after 4.
Because just like in all past TS games, there was clear rules and evidence for EVERYTHING in SH4, and it even kinda fits the past games' set of rules too.

>>381901964
The Silent Hill HD collection is awful
Here's Demo's video on it. You can see some of the horrible changes they've done to the game. This is Resident Evil HD OST-tier fuckups

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.

>The name comes from the legend of the people whose land was stolen from them. They called this place 'The Place of the Silent Spirits.' By 'Spirits,' they meant not only their dead relatives, but also the spirits that they believed inhabited the trees, rocks and water around them.

>According to legend, this was where the holiest ceremonies took place. But it was not the ancestors of those who now live in this town that first stole the land from these people. There were others who came before.

>In those days, this town went by another name. But that name is now hopelessly lost in the veils of time. All we know is that there was another name, and that for some reason the town was once abandoned by its residents.

Hullet thought silent hill was emo tier shit judging by the boxart.

>>381905431

Why are PS3 collections so comfy? There's something cool about having 2-4 classic PS2 titles of he same franchise in one physical box.

I'm thinking of getting the Prince of Persia PS2 trilogy next, I own Jak 1-3, Sly 1-3, Ratchet 1-3, DMC 1-3, Metal Gear 2-PW, God of War 1-2 and God of War origins 1-2.

How's the Splinter Cell collection?

the HD collection is ultimately offensive. but i own it, i waited in line when it came out, and it does have crisper lines and colors while maintaining the grain/noise effect. but why revoice? and FORCED new voices????? the person responsible for that should be shot. not to mention the *biggest offense* sign. but all that considered : i love putting the disc into my ps3 and seeing the HD SH background before booting. i remember when i got the HD collection and that menu decor made me feel happy.

SH is the only truly bad collection, the others have a few problems here and there but are ok.

>>381937789
did you know that Hulett is literally the biggest fan of Silent Hill?

Being the biggest fan nowadays equals actually thinking that it's a great idea to change a masterpiece. Rewrite dialog. Clean up textures. Hire amateur voice actors to do a piss poor job, not calling the original voice actors. Using an alpha version of the game as a base and only figuring that out months later and so on.

I hope the fuckhead killed himself.

>>381940516
The HD version must have removed what ever was causing the license problems. The HD collection never came to PC and I know Pandora Tomorrow is nowhere to be found on PC besides the old hard copies.
Might have to set up my PS3 and download it.

>>381940920
Pandora Tomorrow was so hype when it released back then. I remember I got it on PC, but my Pac couldn't run it, so I had to get it for the PS2, which looked much worse but had a cool extra mission.

>>381940789
are you fucking kidding me.

Shadow of the colossus is a disgrace. The whole game is fucked and the player character stumbles around like a fucking moron. It's almost unplayable and makes me rage.

What's worse is that the fuck heads at Sony though it would be a brilliant idea to make a Limited Edition for the Japs. But then not include the Japanese making of on the fucking 2 discs in Nippon. I guess there was not enough space on those discs left.

Nope, instead put those making of videos onto the US disc. And give Europe the middle finger aka digital download codes.

Or adding those stupid speed run trophies to Ico. Yeah, great idea.

Or what about removing developer commentary from Sly Cooper.

Or what about removing TONS of content from Metal Gear Solid 2+3 collection.

Or the ton of bugs in Prince Of Persia collection. Or 2 out of 3 games running like ass in the Splinter Cell collection. So you are literally paying for Chaos Theory HD.

Hitman collection was sorta fine though.

Most of those collections are hack and rush jobs.

For the Jak&Daxter collection they could have ugh idk, maybe fixed the broken as shit turret part in hero mode. But nope, can't be bothered.

>>381940789
just because one collection takes a full dump on the original games doesn't mean that the other collections would be okay-ish.

Want a definitive version of MGS2? Well, get the PS2 original Subsistence or whateverthefuck it's called. It's definitely not the one in the HD collection. Want a definitive version of MGS3? Well fuck you. You will have to get the HD collection for 60 fps and then still get the PS2 version too, to actually get all the content.

I fucking love SH4 and I don't care what anybody says. It has problems but it also has some of the best art in the whole series and some of the spookiest moments, best soundtrack and 2nd best story as well. It was incredibly unique and dripping with atmosphere, had a bit of an urban vibe that 1-3 didn't have, and felt more J-horror.

>>381940835
Don't forget asking said new voice actors to shit on Guy when all Guy did was point out that none of the VAs got money/residuals from all the rereleases that Konami did, and Konami lost their contracts so they didn't have an excuse as to why they never got paid. I love Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's voice, but fuck is she a terrible person.

>>381915204
Homecoming is easily worse than Origins and Downpour, those two games are abhorrent but at least somewhat got the mood right at times, Homecoming feels like a fucking parody. Shattered Memories is the only western SH worth even thinking about.

But he also took a big fat dump on Silent Hill 2+3. He's the idiot responsible for the disaster that is called Silent Hill HD collection.

The fuckhead even wanted to originally change even more of the script of Silent Hill 3 than what he actually did change.

You were never going to get MGO because they closed their own servers down years ago. And MGO 3 is going to be dead soon if it hasn't yet.

>>381944202
No, Document of MGS2 is not a "document", but is actually a very large and indepth making of documentation of MGS2.

You can fly around in all the levels + cutscenes, which means you can also check out Raiden's Wiley or the lack thereof. Scripts. AI logic and so on. It's an absolute must have for any fan and it's basically a joke that Konami was too cheap to make it available.

>>381944591

>>381944665

First of all some nice hackers have made MGO work again on PS2.
Second MGO was not the only thing on disc 2. Way more content was on it too.

>>381944972
>underrated gem
rather unfinished piece of donkey shit

It's almost as a massive downgrade compared with MGS3 than what GTA IV was to San Andreas.

Sure, tons of videos, because gotta fill up dat blu-ray. But why bother with codec conversations? Tons of eastereggs? Tons of actual content? Nah. Also add stupid installations and then try to be funny saying that blu-ray is soooo advanced that you do not have to change discs anymore. Instead you now have to wait 5+ minutes for a single chapter to install.

The "game" was actually a big fuck you to MGS fans.

Go back to Shadow Moses - good idea
Execution however? Yeah put those fucking stupid tiny robots everywhere. Those are not annoying at all.
don't be consistent with the level design, because fuck the fans.
And then add a boss with terrible AI to the mix.

Silent Hill 4 is so good that it's my Mom's favorite game. Yes, she got out of her 40 year old mom-doings when it came out to play it. It fucking caught her for some reason. My dad played 1 through 3 only, in retrospect.

Do you think they changed the settings to make it thicker, or maybe they used an older version, or what? I don't think it was even that thick in the PS2 version (though it's hard to tell from videos because of the lower quality).

Was Document of MGS2 a standalone thing?

>>381945858
oh, okay. Then I actually agree. SH4 was different. Had a few silly designs, but was still typical Team Silent quality.

>>381946250
This user Nekorun found out that there are many different fog models and behaviors in the game. See if one of them matches the type of fog that you're talking about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDV-MTn49qs

>>381944972
It was such a great way to tell the story, through the letters under the door, looking through holes in walls, checking the radio, etc. It feels different to all other SH games but fits in perfectly IMO.

>>381945719
What are you on about, this is about SH.

>>381910000
The ps2 version of SH2 also had superior shadows, does the fog patch fixes those too?

>>381946419
>but was still typical Team Silent quality.

And it wasn't even made by Team Silent, which makes it even more impressive.

>>381945895
Eh, I played the PS2 PAL version even.
Trust me, the piece of shit HD collection does not work like even the PAL version. NTSC was piss easy. PAL wasn't, but player character didn't act like a stupid retarded mongo all the time.

In the HD collection sometimes the monster doesn't even MOVE at all and the fucking moron still stumbles around.

If what you are saying was true, then the trophy percentages wouldn't be as bad as they are. Almost no one beat all the time trials. On PS2, even PAL, those weren't difficult at all. You simply had to know what to do. HD collection however, good fucking luck. I knew exactly what to do, and #3 or so took me hours to finally be lucky. I tried my PS2 tactic and it didn't work at all. I had to do some crazy shit, like jump directly to the belly, then be lucky to get a few stabs in. Then jump like a mad man onto his back. Pure RNG luck. No skill to be found.

btw. I actually got platinum on it. But the HD collection made me hate both Ico + SotC. Yorda wasn't meant for speedruns. Her AI wasn't meant to do that, but nope some moron thought it would be a great idea to add speedrun to a game, that wasn't designed for it.

>>381946419
>silly designs
Agreed, but I'd be disappointed if it didn't. It was always great at not taking itself too seriously. I haven't played anything after origins but I'm guessing they lost an important balance there.

>>381946418
For Europe, yes.
For US, no.

>>381946817
Show me an article starting these discrepancies so I can be sure it's not your autism, because that's what is sounds like.

>>381946612
It's really amazing. Fuck the contrarians, it's such a rare gem.

>>381946612
When you try to nit pick that hard, then no game was made by "Team Silent".

In reality, SH4 was also a Team Silent game.
http://silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Team_Silent

>>381947034
But I'm in the US and clearly remember it being sold separate. It was the Saga DVDs that were packed-in with certain preorders.

>>381910118
This.
I remind buying this game almost on a whim to try out this "resident evil" clone, little did I know what I was in for.

The game was a masterpiece, I loved how he managed to make scary again childhood fears (like the darkness) and how much more relatable the locales were, only added to that.

A school, a hospital a mall are much more reletable location as a teen than a huge ass mansion or a police precint (Unless you're a nigger)

I loved how in SH1 I thought the town was creepy at first, then I shat my pant when ti became dark and when I went to "otherworld" for the first time I was totally disturbed.

I still remember how elated I felt when after defeating the first boss, you could see that soft white light filtering from the windows, I was super happy it was foggy again. What a game.

Again it's sort of hard to tell because of the quality but mine most closely resembles the type at 1:04. Right now I'm at the beginning where you encounter the first monster, and the tunnel makes the difference between my game and the videos I linked most noticeable. Not a huge or anything, hence why I'm not even sure the fix isn't working, but mine seems a bit less full and in-the-foreground (obviously my screenshot's the one without the YT shit).

>>381910439
YM stopped working that gloryhole so they patched it up.

>>381947059
Play the fucking games, you fucking mongoloid.

Do you really want to say that Dark Souls is an easier game than Shadow of the Colossus? Because trophy percentages look like it is. Way more people have gotten platinum of DS than of SotC.

Do you fuckhead believe that GTA IV is literally the 3rd best game ever made? Did you buy the Silent Hill HD collection, because IGN said 9.5/10 or 10/10 or whatever the fuck the paid shills "rated" the turd? Because that's what gaming journalism does. They want you to buy games, that the publisher paid marketing dollars for. That's what they are there for.

Can you find any "journalist" complaining about for example the PS3 X/O problem? You know region free and all those lies. Can you find any "journalist" complaing about the expensive Ico + SotC Japanese versions missing out on content compared to the western releases? No? Well I am totally in shock.

>>381947768
Were you also scared by the haunted house levels in Mario World?

>>381947597
My bad, it was the other way round.
Document of MGS2 was bundled in Europe. Not in US.

>>381947915
Show me someone other than your autistic ass talking about these """"""""""issues"""""""""" you so claim are crippling the otherwise excellent port.

>>381947245
The thing is that SH4 was produced alongside SH3, so all critical members were working on SH3.

Team Silent was already composed of Konami's leftovers, so SH4 was literally developed by leftovers of the leftovers. The end result is a weird game that turns into a escort mission halfway through and forces the player to backtrack every single level, the same exact levels with no changes or anything.

>>381947768
I wish I started with 1. After going through 2-4 first, it's harder to appreciate.

>>381948264
Backtracking is the only real sin, especially since it involves particularly frustrating areas. Everything else though? They got it spot on. Played it 3 times. It's easily forgivable.

>>381948636
The things that slap your shit on the escalators are also bullshit.

all I want is a HD collection of 1,2,3, and 4 done correctly before the series fades into pachinko again

>>381948532
Oh, so it's all in your head then? If these """issues""" you speak of were real, it would be all over forums and articles. YOU show me proof these are real and not just your autistic delusions.

>>381948719
OK, two things. I can't remember anything now but there were absolutely annoying moments like that in every SH, all of which are kinda minor.

>>381948804
you are already so autistic and such a sony cock sucker, that I'm sure that anything I would link to would be called "well, that's you who wrote it". Which means a waste of time for me.

Go kill yourself and make the world a better place.

>>381925916
Hey man, being hunted by cultists and needing to constantly run will put some dark thoughts in your head.

>>381948804
also you fucking mongo, those are not just "issues". The game is fucking broken.
Silent Hill HD still takes the cake, but SotC is close second.

The player is MEANT to feel sad about killing those things. But instead on PS3 most players will be cursing because how stupid the player character acts.

Anyway, explain the trophy percentages Sony cock sucker.

Normal time attack is 6%
Hard time attack is 2.7%

On the other hand
Rite of Kindling - 56%

Fucking broken the piece of shit.

Hell, The Dark Soul - 17%

>>381947791
Try modifying it then.

Go to sh2fog.ini
And change fog_layer2_size to a massive number.

Don't forget this:

So you can't find any evidence because the whole thing is in your head? Fine then, now I know.

>>381949429
Prove to all of us that the SOTC port is "broken" as you claim it is. Show us evidence, comparison videos, forum posts, anything that can back up your claims.

Oh but you can't because it's not real and you're just imagining things in your rotten autistic brain.

>>381949429
You do realize that Rite of Kindling is from one of the easiest bosses? Even if you went down there around level 20.

>>381949510
Guess that confirms it's working, sufficiently large and small values (1024 and 0) made the fog disappear except for the basic gray wall.

>>381950708
Tweak the the fog_layer2_density_mult a little bit and see if it can match one from the video.

this post is 100 percent spot on, most gaming reviews are paid shills, back in the day they had some credibility. Now its an automatic 10/10 for the next call of d00dy or GTA game made for the unwashed masses. Gaming should have been kept in the autistic realm, the normies took it from us just like everything else.

Looks like that's what they did. Though, looking back at more PS2 videos, it seems like the defaults are more accurate. But it's good to know, anyway.

all i ever wanted in the last decade was silent hill 2 and 3 for the VITA, all i got was a fucking diablo clone with reused assets

One of the worst ports I have ever played of any video game ever. And there are a lot of bad ports out there.

>>381953348
I found this:
> Several fans suggested changing fog_layer2_density_mult to 1.5 in the sh2fog.ini file for a closer representation of the PlayStation 2's fog.

Also this:
fog_transparency_layer1 = 160 // original value 128;
fog_transparency_layer2 = 160 // original value 128;

fog_layer1_x1 = 0.750 // original value 0.125;
fog_layer1_x2 = 0.750 // original value 0.125;
fog_layer1_y1 = 0.750 // original value 0.125;
fog_layer1_y2 = 0.750 // original value 0.125;

>>381953464

All of the ghosts scared the fuck out of me, especially the floating fat dude who sang and pic related, that intentionally glitchy shit was masterful. The areas were all just incredibly spooky to me as well, I can't really put it into words but SH4 scared me so hard it was physically difficult to complete, none of the others made me feel this way except maybe SH2 in Toluca Prison.

For how incredible SH2 is as a game it's a shame the series as a whole is littered with mediocre shit.

There's a lot of cheap looking effects through the series, though the last episode had some fantastic effects which would seem to show that it's intentional. I wish I could find the full version of that scene, the weird editing abruptly ends when they flip a switch on the outside of that room.

I havent finished 3 yet but pic related is the only design ive really liked so far. The other just werent that interesting or scary.

>>381957051
3 and 2 follow rather different ideas on how to design monsters, and I think I just like 2's way of handling it more, if only for the fact it's psychological horror actually done right, something that's quite rare in video games.

Also would you consider the mirror room to be an enemy in 3 ?

>>381957042
Yeah its amazing how that scene is both sad and scary. Shame about the way Harry says "-Lisa?" after he closes the door, its retarded as fuck and ruins the mood

By themselves, SH3 monsters are admittedly forgettable - but as a whole, it really set up a great tone for the game and stuck with a very fitting body-horror theme. Not the scariest, but unnerving.

>>381957526
Fair enough, I'm a big fan of 2 so I can't argue with that. I wouldn't consider it an enemy but that was such a great moment. Bosses in 3 were fun and challenging, too.

Kill yourself. Document of MGS2 was only bundled in with the game in Europe. All Ape Escape references were removed for obvious reasons. The Secret Theatre got removed because the videos were in 240p and Konami nor Kojima Productions had the assets.
