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.
If SH3 runs like shit even on a strong PC, check and lower the Rendering Resolution setting.

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.

>Protips
-Play in the release order.
-Never play below Normal difficulty.
-Replaying them all is recommended.
-Turn down the ingame Brightness setting,
-Don't try to kill everything that moves, especially outdoors.
-Turning OFF the flashlight can really help.

Suck it up and don't be a loser.
The tank-controls, and the overall gameplay as whole, are exactly the same in SH1-3. Plus, SH1 has great art-directing, and absolutely superb audio-work; Akira Yamaoka was already a genius in 1999, and his tunes and ambiance make more than half of the series' atmosphere.

I started watching some niche horror films from the early 90s and the 80s and suddenly Japanese horror lost its magic to me, they are full on making refferences to western media I was just too young to remember.
For example saya no uta is just Possesion + In the mouth of madness
And silent hill is the mist + jacob's ladder + etc

it takes like 10 minutes tops to learn the controls, and less than an hour to master them. The graphics are what they are, and definitely not "bad". In fact, the noisy low-res visuals only make some things creepier IMO. You can, obviously, do what ever the hell you want with the graphics if you emulate the game.

the fog and stuff started as a necessary evil, but the TS was quick to realize the potential and atmospheric gains it all added, so they embraced it.

By the time PS2 arrived, they had no real reason to coat everything in mist and darkness, but they still CHOSE to use it, and improve their visuals too.

The fuck? The combat in these games is fucking awful. They're practically walking simulators. The good thing about these games is the atmosphere. These are probably some of the few games that are best on the easiest combat difficulty setting, harder difficulties just increase tediousness. Now, riddles on the other hand...

They still have to ask for Konami's permission before they make new Silent Hill. You know, that company who disbanded them in the first place.

You're assuming they'd be making a new Silent Hill game, per-se.

They do have, however, some pre-production work and ideas for a new SH game, for PS4 at that. Check out Ito's Tweets from past couple weeks.

He doesn't exactly hate the creature itself, just its excessive misuse and re-appearance ratio in games and media it doesn't belong to.

It's all just a nail to the old ass coffin all fans already knew: PH belongs exclusively to SH2.

Isn't yamaoka at grasshopper? How would he get around that to work with the old team again?

TS, KojiPro, Grasshopper, and few other teams, have always been close friends with each other. Yamaoka himself has also done music gigs with a band from time to time, he's not locked in with Suda51 at all times.
He already mentioned before release of Downpoor that he'd gladly do more SH stuff if asked. No one asked him for DP.

>>389988478
Yes, see >>389988373
They do keep some touch though. The Kojima's failed attempt with Silent Hills already brought them closer together again, and many of ex-TS guys are mere freelancers or stuck making mobile-shit these days.

Konami's not doing anything here, it's all an initiative of the old TS members here. Jewnami prolly doesn't give a shit, as long as they don't come asking for a license for what's practically their own game.

>>389986284
If the combat is too easy you don't feel threatened by it, taking tension out of the game. You want to avoid it whenever possible because it's a waste of ammo and the controls are cumbersome, but that's part of the game's atmosphere. It makes you feel weak. This is good for the overall mood.

>>389984440
So, a spiritual successor that can get away from Konami's influence?

Different anon, but I always play Easy Mode on replays.

The sticky awkward combat isn't what I found scary about the series, so getting through it quicker was a plus for me.

The only time it's disappointing is when the final boss in SH2 dies almost immediately.

I thought it was just kind of.. inconsequential?

Like they keep throwing in scenes with old Silent Hill characters from the first game, but they don't really connect to Travis's story at all or have any sort of payoff minus a wacky demon ritual they throw in at the end.

So it's not really terrible, but apart from the mirror world puzzle idea it doesn't really distinguish itself much either.

I really hope they go back to Siren after Gravity Rush. Such a great series, I think 1 is one of the best games ever made, but every game has severe flaws, it feels like they never got it perfect. The series needs its Chaos Theory.

SH2 doesn't but it is regarded as a masterpiece even though 3 is better.

You can run past monsters and I'd probably recommend it when you are on the streets, if you stop to kill everything you'll probably run out of ammo and you don't wanna be in that situation in a boss fight.

>>389991962
The Pyramid Head art in his avatar is an unused art for Homecoming's music CD cover and manual, the CD was never finished, so it ended up unused, that's why he uses it as avatar or retweets it every 6 months or so.

>>389992252
Ps3's Siren was more of a Sony's thing. As a remake it wasn't as good as first one despite utilising some of Siren 2's elements. Also Siren 2 really added lots to the formula, like with Gravity Rush 2. Though this transition from creepy-ass violent horror to cute superheroes is bizarre.

Masahito Ito was actually ok with Pyramid Head appearing in the first movie because the first movie had a decent budget and marketing.

Ito even created a short comic that shows Pyramid Head in the otherworld receiving a message from some flying slurper, it's called White Hunter. He just doesn't want Pyramid head being reused because he was made for SH2 and if a new game needs another pursuer character he would like to design a new one, he said he had plans to redesign Valtiel for a future Silent Hill game but only made some sketches, not sure if i screencapped it.
