Which do you prefer and why?

silent hill 1 is still the best but lets talk about the ps2 games
>>
sh3 is better cause it's scarier
>>
>>384447594
i didnt play any of them

isnt 2 the one where you killed your wife or whatever? one of the truly heaviest stories written in games. i approve of the video game very much

i played the first one, but it scared me too much.
>>
>>384447594
Do you need to play sh1 to understand sh2?
>>
>>384447671
>isnt 2 the one where you killed your wife or whatever?

yes
>>
>>384447708
No, silent hill 2 is pretty much standalone. SH3 on the other hands requires you to play 1.
>>
>>384447708
You need to play it first so you don't ruin your opinion about 1 being the best.
>>
>>384447671
>>384447714
also that bitch getting set on fire in the movie is honestly one of the most gruesome movie scenes ever shot. I have seen some horrific REAL things and I will never forget the way her face catches on fire from the heat (i never thought about catching fire from radiant heat before and the idea is so scary, it's so hot even though the fire isnt touching you directly)

this has happened to me 3 times in the past decade trying to play it.

>>384447836

I prefer 2, but that's personal preference and not saying it's objectively better. I just prefer the tone of 2. The soundtrack as well still causes intense emotional response in me.

3 is fantastic as well, though. Heather a cute.
>>
>>384447893
Huh the mall is probably the better part of the game. I mean there's a lot of good stuff halfway through but the mall is a real good start.

Rest of the game is like the mall imo... so yeah

>>
>>384447594
Honestly they're both as good as each other, since they have different themes and hence different horror styles. If I had to choose though, I'd go with Silent Hill 3 for technical and personal reasons. 3 is a lot more oppressive with its horror, so it tends to be scarier, and the pacing of the game is the most refined in the series. Every time I get to the catacombs in 2 I feel it could have been cut/altered since it feels like boring filler compared to the prison level that comes before and the hotel that comes a little after. I also find 3 a lot more interesting in terms of what it shows the player throughout the game.
>>
SH3 is legitimately the scariest game I've played in my life

SH2 has my second favorite story in gaming after xenogears

both are great but I have to give it to SH3 because it's also not a cake walk like SH2
>>
>>384447594

>SH1 the best

No it's the worst. 2 is the best.

2 > 3 > 4 > 1

Didn't play the others they barely count anyways.
>>
>>384447594
>silent hill 1 is still the best
Is it? The level design, enemy variety and such is pretty weak. That it usually just transports you to the next level after finishing the previous one is a pretty big design sin.
>>
>>384447594

SH2 is too fucking easy. The handgun hits like a fucking magnum. Literally the only enemies that are a threat are the bed fuckers because they swarm you in pairs and there are only like 4 of them in the whole game. Pyramid head was a fucking joke because you can run circles around him and he won't hit you.

SH1 and 3 are much harder/better games.

>>384448728

A factually based true opinion.

SH1 is literally nothing special. The series didnt get truly good until the PS2. And all 3 PS2 SH games were god tier. SH1 feels like a prototype in comparison.

>>384448825

Yeah it's pretty weak as he said. Only maybe 2-3 of those designs kinda stick out, where the PS2 games had tons of memorable enemies.

2 for its characters and soundtrack. I adore 3 too though.

The Room is nice too. I liked that it was kind of obtuse and challenging like other survival horrors.

16, what's that like 3 per dungeon and 4 for the overworld? Like I want to say 70% share the same couple of attack patterns? It's pretty weak, guy.

I was playing that Indonesian Fatal Frame clone recently, had 10 complete unique patterned enemies just in the first act.

Not a bad game or nothing, mind, and still better than the clone on other merits.

No they are physical copies becuase you ARE an underaged little shit, who didn't grow up with these games and seeks to prove fanship by possessing a physical volume of the game

I've never seen someone so butthurt about SH1 before. I never even knew it had a fanbase kek. I've been in plenty of SH threads before and it's always talk of the PS2 trilogy, how shit the HD version apparently was and how shit all the games since the PS2 was. The only talk of 1 is people emulating it and saying it still holds up today.

You are the only person on this site who has ever claimed that 1, outside of well done visuals, is a better game than the rest of the series and gets wildly butthurt when someone disagree's. I am just amused at you right now.

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 fix mentioned in the guide, you can use sh2proxy's .exe as 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 into a black screen during launch, close the application and restart it again.

you can now see fine emulator settings for SH1 in the pic. You can also try the PGXP emu for wobble free PS1 graphics.

But all three games are pretty much amazing in their own ways. Too bad that all other SH games are fucking abortions of the series

>>384450876
It should be definitely noted that removing black bars for SH3 cutscenes is a bad idea. Considering all cutscenes are in-engine, removing black bars reveals what was intended to stay hidden.
>>
>>384451441
depends on your screen res and aspect ratio.

On my 16:9 monitor, I use:
0,9
1,2

>>384451503
Some decade or so ago, I was a die-hard SH2 worshipper, yet still liked the rest.
Later on I replayed SH1 numerous times, did some research, and then attempted to play the sequels. It soon became apparent how much I'd missed and misunderstood about the original, and how damn well designed and paced the OG truly is compared to the others.
>>
>>384451351

Yeah no it isn't newfag. Sorry but you don't dictate this boards culture.

>>384451404

SH1 is barely scary. It's just a full 3D clone of Resident Evil with a more physiological story focus. It's not really that good. SH2 was when SH came into it's own thing really and distinguished itself. I much preferred the RE games on the PS1 over SH. The PS2 SH games however were pure ludology and a massive improvement.
>>
>>384451741
>SH1 is barely scary.
Opinion noted but disgarded.
I was a total RE fanboi up until I finally played this "another Resi-clone". Literally gave me nightmares for a long while, and got me switch the teams instantly.

In my opinion, the sequels did not really improve anything. They just added their own twists on the basics SH1 coined. Hell, they even managed to DOWNGRADE some other things, like making the experiences even more linear, and difficulty laughably low.

>>
>>384447594
SH2 all the way, for me.

As a direct sequel to the original, the story of SH3 was pretty uninteresting. A lot gets hinted at, but never fleshed out. It's got much less mystery than the first two games.

My impression of SH3 is that they upped the ante in terms of visual horror, but didn't quite know what to do with the story.
>>
Silent Hill 2 was underwhelming. It wasn't THAT scary; and I guess James Sunderland just isn't the kind of character I identify with. Silent Hill 1 is better.

Silent Hill 3 is the best in the series. Heather's a better lead character than James, revisiting Silent Hill the same was you did im Silent Hill 1 is haunting, and even before you get there the whole idea that Silent Hill follows Heather EVERYWHERE she goes (seriously, there is no respite in that game) makes the game convey the most ominous sense of dread in the entire series. It's the second best horror game on the PS2 after Forbidden Siren (maybe third).
>>
>>384452423

>>384452426
Also I wasn't feeling the music in SH3 as much as SH2.

Just seeing that I contradicted myself in the first post, things are only hinted at but there's less mystery. I guess what I mean is, there's nothing interesting behind the curtain, no revelation.

I like SH3 better, the first time I played it I almost shat my pants at how scary the first few enemies were. And while I enjoy SH2, I find the apartment complex really tedious to go through so I really haven't done a bunch of 100% playthroughs.
>>
>>384452834
4 freaked me out the most the first time I played it but it's a lot more focused on gimmicks in design and because you revisit areas so much it doesn't have much impact on repeat playthroughs for me. 3 still scares me for some reason.

I prefer SH3 because the aesthetic looks like genuine hell. It feels like you're exploring a really messed up place.

Silent Hill 2 is more like an abandoned town with weird places(otherworld hospital) and really weird places(prison and mine).

I feel you. I personally loved Heather and Douglas, and enjoyed Vincent, even if he's just a tease with not much substance. Claudia can fuck herself with a broomstick. her and Vincent working together to revive the cult is very jarring and is hard to swallow considering there's seemingly only two real members remaining, with one of them just trying to make a profit

I really liked the moody theme to the music in 2 and probably enjoy more tracks in it than in 1, 3 and 4 combined, but 3 had good direction for what it was going for, too, I think

The first movie is straight garbage
Horrible acting
Terrible characters
Retarded plot
It has little to no redeeming qualities
They could have kept the fucking story straight from the game and it would have been fine but they had to shit all over it

so where do you guys think kojima would have taken SH? The radio in PT seemed to follow an ancient alien/demon theme by implying that the Orwell broadcast was actually true. I always found the ufo endings kind of cool and funny but they do connect all of the games together in a weird way. Don't forget that the cult were using sigil stones in an attempt to contact aliens.
>>
>>384454519
It would have just been a more interesting Homecoming imo. More to see and probably fun/spooky, but still misses the point of SH. Honestly they could still make the game and just call it something else, and give a sly fuck you to Konami by saying it's inspired by Silent Hill.
>>
that SH1 demo as a kid was scary as fuck, cant remember what game it came with.

>Small black shadows lurking around in the school
>>
>>384454307
I think the reason SH3 only has the two cult members is to not end up like Homecoming, where you have to fight hordes of stupid cultists who are stronger than the monsters themselves. In SH3, her followers are the missionary and the scrapers, so Claudia did have an army.

3 is the scariest
2 had the best story/characters
1 had the best atmosphere

There are many other series like GTA or Manhunt for example where you can shoot humans. Humans in Silent Hill just doesn't work, Eddie boss battle being an example of that.

I should also note that 2 also had the best creature design and that 3 had the best sound design.
Shattered Memories gets a bonus point for trying something different and doing a pretty good job all things considered.

Except for the part in the mall where a sports store turns into a torture den and the restaurant starts serving dog barbecue or escalators that lead to nothing but an abyss, plus gurneys everywhere.

Hilltop center gets more torture devices, a lot of bodies inside cages, the places get a completely different geometry with blocked or unreachable doors because the floor disappeared, some rooms become larger with no explanation.

Silent Hill 2 is just abandoned places, even the prison itself is abandoned and nothing really happens in there. The developers had the opportunity to show some really cool stuff in the prison by showing that the power is so strong near Toluca that it can produce some really crazy stuff but instead you get an abandoned prison and a bunch of corridors.

Silent Hill 3 has better graphics, a higher difficulty, better bosses, and I think Heather is a better protagonist, and the way everything goes absolutely crazy in the final level is a better climax than Silent Hill 2.

But I still prefer Silent Hill 2 for the sheer amount of "OH SHIT" moments. Like Maria getting impaled by Pyramid head was legitimately nightmarish, and the way James just rides the elevator down in silence and complete defeat is a poignant moment of restraint that video games never have. And the moment when you watch the video tape I literally said aloud to myself "no fucking way!" and that ending with the letter being read is so fucking sad. Silent Hill 2 has depth and subtlety and there are so many great moments.
>>
>>384460692
One of the things that impressed me the most about 2 was how Maria kept showing up after you see her die. Other media doing this would make me indifferent to the character because if they die and just come back it takes away the impact of their death, but how she comes back and James' muted reaction made for some really unsettling moments.

Silent Hill 3's plot is too derivative of 1, reuses assets from 2 and has an over reliance on gore for shock value moreso than previous games. Also don't end your psychological horror game with "LE BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN xD"
>>
>>384460692
This, but id say that James is a better protag.
I love how he is calm, weak and submissive most of the time but every once in a while he'll turn into an asshole for 2 seconds and you start seeing cracks in his personality.
Also, "you'd better do something about that cough" was probably the scariest thing in SH2.

The jumps felt really hamfisted because there were too many of them and some feel "dreamy" because James just falls from great heights and doesn't even get hurt. The first hole is the only good one, in my opinion. The one where the corridor is vertical was the worst one.

>>384460396
The prison is good, i don't deny that, i just wish it had more flavor to it, like a boss and more threatening creatures and more weird stuff happening, but this problem applies to all of SH2. But it is really creepy and the most atmospheric area in SH2.

I think SH3 looks a little more simplistic to be honest. The textures seem to be lower resolution in SH3 and the flashlight on SH2 PC/Xbox version uses per-pixel-lighting which for 2001 was a really beautiful and incredible effect considering back then almost no game had lighting effects that good. SH2 seems to be have more detail on the levels.

Just feels like James was more well developed and that the world was most tightly designed around his psychology than any of the other games. Best Silent Hill.

SH1 they're bugs and animals with human skin. Not sure if it was the PS1 limitation or what, but they don't look gory or grotesque.

SH2 they're like dolls or something, again not much gore. Pyramid Head seems to have the apron sewn to his back, but that's about it.

SH3 is the only one that goes full fleshy creatures that look like a bunch of bloated cancer stitched together with surgery. They look like they were made by some surgeon from hell.

Question...

In the intro scene of SH3 there was a brief clip of Heather laying on the ground (presumably dead) and some creature bends down to spread her legs. I never got this scene while playing the game.

What is the context of that clip?

I'm agreeing with you. SH2 has the weakest designs of the three and yet it's the one people love the most because of le deep symbolism.

I've always wondered what SH4 would be like if they had followed some of the original ideas they had in the trailer. Those twin babies would've WAY scarier if they had those screams from the trailer instead of the retarded grunts. Still, as much as people tend to shit on it had some of it's moments. It just needed more time to be refined. A diamond in the rough, to say.

That happens at random when you die but Valtiel is there to ensure Heather does her job. I don't think he is there to do anything... "Sordid" with her corpse, but in fact to ressurect her, as is a theme with Heather. It's purley symbolic though, he is not literally brining you back to life. he also isn't fucking her you freaks, it's just you lot who think that because the second you see legs being split apart all you can think about is Heathers hairy wet mound and rightly so, rightly so.
>>
2's story and characters were much more interesting. I never cared much for heather.
On the flip side, besides the story 3 has 2 beat in pretty much every other aspect. It's just a much more terrifying game.
My opinion is 3 > 2

That is literally what he does. He is keeping track of Heather and i believe he is also responsible for leaking "otherworld" into the real world and i think he also plays a hand in reincarnating Heather/Cheryl/Alyssa everytime she gets shat out into the world as a newborn again. reminder that Heather has carried the genes of pic related for three lives now and is somehow a fucking 10/10 developed young woman despite this.

Konami shouldn't have pushed it out so early. Instead, main team, who worked on SH3 while B-team worked on SH4, should've polished it.

I love SH4, but it's just sad that it was obviously rushed and not polished.

Since SH1's success, Konami wanted an anthology horror game that could be released yearly like PES.

Valtiel's job is literally to make sure the God is birthed. If anything is implied, it's that Valtiel takes you to the nearest save point to begin again, considering the symbol (Halo of the Sun) represents a number of things, one of them being rebirth. Has absolutely nothing to do with rape.

SH2 had a more spooky vibe to it while SH3 was always up in your face making loud noises and shit.

Didn't played any of the two but the magazines I've read back then were pretty much in line with the opinions here.
2 =better story and atmosphere
3= hell lot more scarier

A majority of people like Silent Hill 2 the best but 3 was always way better for me. I just found it a hell of a lot scarier. It really played into my claustrophobia and had way more rust and blood and the monsters were more terrifying (except for the nurses, the nurses in silent hill 2 were way scarier). Silent hill 2 was still pretty creepy but no way near as scary for me.

I know, It's just a lot of what makes Silent Hill work is ambiguity, so I don't really care for the whole "Valtiel was born in a log cabin in Missoula, Montana in 1959" levels of lore
>>
For real though, i like to think that maybe a year or so before SH3, Heather was a bit of a brat and a wild child who took drugs, booze and slid wetly onto chad dick, before shit got to real and Harry had to reel her the fuck in. During SH3 Heather feels like a very bright but recovering teen who although better now, has some clear mental health issues she is still dealing with. Now she just stays home and behaves in the flat. Im tired of the old "pure virgin" trope and hope that Heather was the complete fucking opposite and was a but amp, and enjoy that attention.

Plus Heather is a LITERALL gift from god. yfw Harry was torn about murdering her in those first development years and sometimes briefly hated sweet baby Heather as he hated Silent Hill. yfw this is a painting of "Heather" holding baby "Heather"

The only interesting thing about Silent Hill is the lore. No one cares about the muh symbolism bullshit.

Why are you overreacting? Valtiel has a specific function, just like a lot of things in all 4 Silent Hill games which have reasons for existing. Outside the environmental stuff that's suppose to creep you out and make you feel uneasy, 99% of things make sense, and that's not a bad thing. Things are a lot scarier when they make sense, because then it feels more real instead random things happening for no apparent reason.

Heather is a good and smart person, but also was a bit of a bitch hopefully. She has all the genetics for a nice body, decent ass and breasts and despite the freckle skin, her facial symetry makes her a fucking worldie. She is a beautiful girl. But miserable and a bit weird. So no doubt she was bullied for it all her life.

I like to think the school chads and such bully the fuck out of her for being an emo shit, but they are secretly all DESPERATE to fuck her, no protection. Then one night one of those Jock Chads who bullies her, meets up with her in secret, cheating on his stacey cheerleader gf, and she fucking rides that cock like sea busicuit and makes him fall in love as his spent dick goes all soft against her. Then she just packs her shit up and leaves, his hot wet load still up her as she storms off home, and she never speaks to him ever again and acts like a cold bitch to him forever. Those crazy bitches are best.

It's interesting what you can infer from a few little things about her, like carrying around a knife, or that she used to smoke.

Silent Hill 2 is better in story, atmosphere, exploring and music. Silent Hill 3 is better in technical things like animation, voice acting, graphics, effects etc; that doesn't mean that the story or atmosphere is bad, it's just that in my opinion SH2 exceed at it.

I kinda like both for different reasons so I don't know which one I prefer. I guess it depends on what kind of horror you like; SH2 is a more dread and psychological experience while SH3 is more agressive in it's atmosphere.

She far suits better a bit of a bad girl growing good than a "muh pure" anyday. Its more interesting to think that despite a DEEP hold on her heart, that maybe Harry struggles with Heather during her early teen years. She is clearly very, very affectionate, but also foul tempered as well. I bet she smoked pot, drank and at least got sticky with older boys that she shiuldn't meanwhile being bullied by others for just being... Weird. And she is. I actually like girls like that a bit. They have stories once they grow out of it. I can absolutley see Heather fucking good looking boys who bully her and then being a cold bitch when she discovers them to be unsatisfying after.

I think he was just a member of the cult that had no real interest in their goals but stuck around to study the occult magic. I think it just facinates him and he is warped enough that he would allow bad things to happen just to see it happen and investigate it. He seems to try and use both the cult and Heather to serve his own needs, but his goals are not clear. He may just be crazy.

The occult aspect of the town is more interesting than the "soul purification" spiritual bullshit that SH2fags keep trying to shove into every Silent Hill.

What is it about Survival Horror and having the best vidya waifus?
>>
>>384447594
SH2 is the best "classic" Silent Hill, though SH3 is an EXTRAORDINARILY close second. Homecoming is the best nu-Silent Hill and gets way more shit than it deserves even if it doesn't compare to the originals.
>>
>>384476537
He wanted money, i think he just wanted to continue using the otherworld's powers to attract more faithful followers to get more money.
It's pretty clear that the only reason the cult was created is because the power they mess with is legit.

A lot of people get into SH through 2 first because of PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR and SYMBOLISM being very blatant. It basically spoonfeeds you the story which- while good - is not particularly as atmospherically scary or interesting to explore than 1 or 3.

1 is the legit creepiest though from start to finish.
>>
I thought SH3 would have been the best way if they didn't reuse stuff from 1 and 2. I guess it's hard because it's all based in Silent Hill, but if 3 was more standalone in story and experience I think it would have been for the better.
>>
>>384470363
holy shit
>>
>>384447594

SH2, because you're actually in Silent Hill and exploring it.

3 takes place generally in buttfuck nowhere and stops by the town at the end.
>>
SH3 has always been my favorite but SH2 has traumatized me badly the first time i played through it
>>
2
I love psychological horros, I like how other random people were dragged into SH and had their own hell to go through
>>
Did the any community patches fix the shitty shadows in the PC version of SH2?
>>
>>384481151
There is no fix. The shadows are the same, the thing is that the PS2 version is so low resolution that they look "soft".

It's not a huge issue or anything like that, I was just wondering if there was one before I dived in.

So exactly how bad is the HD version? I want to replay the games and that seems to be the cheapest alternative.

One of the great things about her character is the conflict she's constantly in, she was created outof pity for Harry so he could have another chance to raise a daughter, but the strangeness of the whole situation left its effect on both of them. Still, the last thing she and her dad said to eachother was "I love you", so she's about as good a being as one could be with her origin.
>>
>>384483775
They're pretty bad, especially the 360 version. You should really try the PC version or emulate the PS2 version via PCSX2. If you really dislike PC gaming then try to go for the PS2 or Xbox versions, or the PS3 remaster as a last resort.
