Silent Hill

I don't remember hearing that shit at 2:02 at all. Spooky.
Outstanding sound design can carry a lot of games, but it's even important for horror. Hard to imagine what we'd end up with if Silent Hill sounded generic.

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.

Fungo is the SH master.

I don't see why not. The Minimum, and even Recommended system specs for these 15+ year old ports are laughably low by modern standards, something at least Pi3 should pass with little effort.

However, some problems MIGHT surface when it comes to handling DirectX. Sure, the DX7 is old as fuck and prolly easily emulated / even ran on a Linux distro of some sort, but it might end up being the Achilles' heel in the end. Perhaps if you install Windows XP or something on it, instead of mini-Linux? Dunno.

That being said, if my 2011 model craptop with nothing but i3 + HD Graphics 3000 can run these games smooth as butter at 1366x768, even managing to avoid some of the known visual glitches people have reported on desktop PCs, I have little reason to doubt that a modern pocket PC couldn't do the same.

>>385809380
There's a lot of afterthought put into the game, iirc they explain all if not most of the little details that make up the ambiance in book of lost memories (the artbook)

what kind of toxic waste have ya been eating?
Especially Downpoor totally dropped and popped the ball when it comes to monster design and plot - or rather, the absolute LACK of it. Both games totally bust the set rules and canon in numerous ways, and HC is pretty much SH Movie x Hostel mashup, with typical Ahmurican Boogeyman subplot. The whole thing also totally falls flat when you can acquire motherfucking UFO ENDING as your very first, regular end!

And themes?
Downpoor's just prisons and clocks and waterslides. HC is > muh brother and a reverse-twists of MC not even having been in the army. Both tack on tons of random TELEPORTATION on top.

Biggest problem would probably be the limited ram Pi3 only has 1gig of system RAM so even something like WinXP would drag the thing down substantially.

It's been a couple of years since I played the first Silent Hill. How was the player to know to use the red goop on that boss? I'm sure it hints at it somewhere but I can't remember.

Dunno if that's really a problem. I mean, WinXP's RECOMMENDED RAM size is 128 Megabytes, while SH2's recommended is 256 MB + 64MB VRAM. That leaves quite a bit of room to wiggle around, especially if you don't multitask.

I still vividly remember days when I gamed on my P4 + 1.5GB DDR1 RAM + 6600GT machine, running stuff like UT2k4 + mods without much of issue.

Still successful but idk about as successful. The most important part is that Team Silent were bold enough to take what was suppose to be a lame RE clone and make something that rivaled RE instead.

Great audio-design is THE most important part of creating atmosphere. Even more important than the graphics ever will be.

Visuals may work as the main information feedback system in games, but audio will directly affect the "game-feel". If a gun sounds loud and strong in a shooter, you want to use it more. If a normal-looking situation or thing creates uncanny noises, you get easily disturbed.

Even in SH games alone, there are many scenes where totally safe places are made into terrifying scenes via sound alone.

SH1 is the best game in the whole series in general. Best and largest town sections, best main locations, best pacing, perfectly challenging, actually scary, great soundtrack. Lot's of replay value thanks to various endings and unlockables.

SH2 is less scary and has worse pacing, but the symbolism + nice story make it a must-play classic.

SH3 is like a more modern SH1-lite, which suffers from linearity and pacing, plus bit from the recycling of SH2's areas. Perhaps the scariest game in the series in the pure-terror -way.

SH4 is quite underrated game. It's quite damn disturbing and spooky game, that only suffers of some gameplay design-choices, like how the limited inventory works and replaying old areas.

SH0 might've been interesting addition to the series, but the way it handles its themes and tells the story make it a big failure. It tries to "explain" things that didn't need explanation, and just manages to screws up the original lore & even logic! Has poor gameplay and recycless SH2 & Movie's elements

Homecoming = wasted potential. The first "next gen" SH game, that somehow ended up looking worse than the previous-gen games?? Tried to do the RE4 to SH-series, which technically means action-izing the gameplay, which really ain't the series' purpose. Looks and feels like a SH Movie -ripoff.

Shattered Memories got plenty of unnecessary flak even before it was released; I'm guilty of this as well. The moment you realize that it is not a remake of the original SH, but it's very own entity merely utilizing your own memories and expectations of things against you, the game actually becomes a fascinating, atmospheric experience. Cons: Not really scary and puzzles are poor.

Downpour seemed like it'd FINALLY do "next-gen" SH game right by, and not copy the SH2. Yet it STILL did recycle tons of SH2 material, while skipping a lot of that "subtle-ness". The gameplay, visuals, and whole tech were broken as well, and there's technically no story!

>origins > the room
fuck off, 4 is underrated and origins is ass. 4 has the best story alongside 2, is the scariest, and is actually super unique and tried to change the formula up (and succeeded). It had tons of cool new ideas and was by far the scariest in the series and had amazing atmosphere and visual design. Origins is wet ass in every regard, it just rehashes the SH 1-3 formula but does it poorly, adds a shitty durability mechanic, completely unoriginal, rehashed areas, bland monster designs and the story is not only shitty in it's own right but also fucks with major series lore.
SH4 has some shitty, questionable design choices but it's flaws are vastly exaggerated and nobody gives it credit for all the good things it did and how fresh it was after 3 started to make the formula a little stale.

even if it was (it wasn't) Origins didn't do anything exceptional to make up for it's flaws unlike 4. There is no reason to play Origins, it's literally just SH1-3 but astronomically shittier. At least HC and DP tried to change things up.

I agree 100% on this. That game made me sad and angry beyond belief. Looks significantly worse than a game that came out in 2003, combat that plays like a clunky, barely functional Zelda clone, a story that DESPERATELY wanted to emulate SH2&3 and failed miserably and a completely nothing protagonist. I haven't played it in years and it still offends me to just think about it.

Seriously, why don't you have a quick turn in a game where you need to quickly turn? why is the camera attached to the MC?

It's buggier because they use an older build version of Silent Hill (which is especially bad on SH2) since Konami lost the fucking source code for one of their best franchises. Then, they had the original VAs replaced by anime voice actors.

I have managed to replay HC once so far. DP, however, I don't want to even touch anymore, ever again. Its controls are terrible, gameplay design in general is awful, Murphy is annoying prick who can't shut up, and the game is plagued of many modern cancers and broken tech in general.
It also looks like shit, literally worse than HC in every way, and doesn't even have Akira's music to compensate.

tl;dr: I have no fucking idea how any sane person can even try to defend the existence of Downpoor.

SH1 was what I started with. It's aesthetics draw me in everytime and it is by far the most terrifying. The sound design is adrenaline inducing. Pic related, the scene where you transition from day to night the first time is unforgettable. You always feel like you're being hunted. It's my personal favorite.

SH2 is all around amazing too but it's hard to say 1 is better than 2 or vice versa. 2 is also a very personal game for me. It didn't have that terror factor that I felt in 1, but has a way more interesting characters and the soundtrack is easily the best OST composed for a videogame.

SH3 for me was pretty forgettable. Heather is cute but fierce, she did come off as a brat sometimes but grows up. The gameplay and controls were a lot tighter and more polished. The puzzles, especially on hard, are just insane especially the fucked up brookhaven keypad riddle.

SH4 I didn't particularly care for. The gameplay was awful. The environments weren't anything special. Henry is easily the worst protagonist simply because hes a blank slate with no personality who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

SH:HC had potential, but trying to compete with Resi with emphasis on action and combat for american audiences I guess, was fucking retarded, and they fucked it because the combat was dogshit. The plot was generic, the puzzles were braindead simple, PH fanservice began here, game was optimized like shit. I did however enjoy Alex ironically enough.

>>385823092
I couldn't get into 4 either. Did a ton of shit to get the PC version working but the game just felt pretty mediocre to me.

I also feel like 3 is underrated. I liked the gameplay aspects of it more than 2 and felt it was a scarier game, and Heather is probably my favorite protagonist due to her interesting relation with the whole Silent Hill cult. I like how she just slowly comes to terms with all the crazy nonsense going on and starts to become more relaxed with it as she starts to remember her memories of life as Alyssa.

Why does the Silent Hill wiki think everything is a metaphor for sexual frustration?

So can we all agree all the spooky shit originated from an asteroid and then provoked by native American magic?

>>385825154
Anon, everything IS a metephor for sexual frustration. Especially in 3. The game is about a perky and attractive 17 year old girl. It's fap or thirst city at that age. Plus the whole game is literally about how fertile Heather is so...

>>385825154

Because it takes the sex and death meme too far.

>>385825154
Because every Silent Hill game must be SH2.

In all fairness though there is a large number of monsters that have sexual themes in their design so it's that much of a stretch to try and find it other parts.

I like how all the pregnancy fear dispells any talk of "muh pure" Heather. She can't be afraid of pregnancy if she isn't riding nerd and Jock dicks up her like seabuscuit unprotected.

>>385825987
I haven't seen the other endings yet (excluding dog ending), but I thought the In Water one felt out of place. From my point view James didn't seem to have intentions to kill himself, he even told Angela he wasn't going to off himself and refused to give back the knife so she wouldn't kill herself either. Also, after reading that one letter, I was expecting James to search for the little girl and leave the city with her after wrapping things up with Mary.

This is a shit meme.

>>385828123
To be fair, James isn't the most reliable narrator. In my mind all the endings are just dependant on how he handles the situation.

But I'll also admit I don't like the In Water ending myself.

I dunno anon, i know say, Resident Evil 2 very very fucking well, id know to be able to point out shit if it were wrong, but i can't say that about nearly 95% of other games that might get re-released with bugs/missing content, so it doesn't hurt to have someone document it. Put it this way: imagine it was your favorite game you knew like the back of your hand.

>>385812345

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 Heather is even smiling with her eyes closed and she is grunting and huffing and he just fucking prematurely explodes thick goo deep inside her cervix and she strokes his hair, sweat falling off her cheek onto his face, 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

>>385828512
Never said she was a virgin.
I'm saying that because she might not be doesn't imply being a loose slut who has unprotected sex.

You need to remember that the only reason people even talk about SH3 is because of waifufags lusting over Heather. If the game starred a male, you wouldn't be hearing much of it. These threads would just be a SH2 general.

REmake, Zero and 4 have good HD ports on Steam too.

Still really good though. Watch some gameplay on it. It can be emulated.

literal lore-rape, clunky as fuck infuriating gameplay, ugly as sins, one of them even lacks Akira Yamaoka's music, and the writing range from "poor fanfic" to "we have no idea what to do with this topic, so let's just pull shit out of our heads!".

SM is technically a "walking sim" with monster-escaping scenes. It's heavily a story and character-driven ride, that does however focus on YOU, the player. The game does psychological profiling on you constantly, and many, many things can change in the game world and story accordingly.

>>385833805
SM is a good game indeed, and it would NOT work even half as well without it's SH-connections.

>>385834364

It can be trivialized as a "walking sim", but where you walk, what you see and experience changes from person to person. Yes, there are puzzles and monsters too, both which aren't too challenging often, but all of it are designed around Wii's numerous gimmicks (motion controls, gamepad's speaker...).

I'd call the game an atmospheric "urban explorer".

>>385835496

The happy birthday caller mentions that Stanley is the "#7" in the basement level 3. Upon going there, various bodies are hidden under cloth, and dying sounds can be heard coming from the bed with the 7 labeled under it.

>>385835468
Kinda sorta a walking simulator, yeah.
There's a couple of chase scenes with things.
And there are quite a lot of puzzles.

A lot of the things I like in this game is that the game itself sort of shapes visually and mechanically though specific things you do, things you look at for various amounts of time, and choices you make.
>inb4 "your choices matter"
It works a lot in a way to how some of the deciding factors for some of SH2's ending did. Like how often you look at Maria's photo, etc. Lots of things like that.

Also utilizes the Wii's controller and speaker in some interesting ways.

You know if you would be capable of thinking logically, you would understand that hiring some overrated hack always results in tons of money wasted on said hack. In this case we would have 2 overrated hacks.

And now guess what happens when you waste tons of money. You need to have tons of people buying the game, which means the actual game (let's assume there would have been a game underneath it, which I doubt anyway) would have been dumbed down to hell and back. Actual Silent Hill games were basically survival horror. And you know what died off because of shit millenials wanting HD HD HD? ACTUAL SURVIVAL HORROR.
