Other than it making for some cool imagery I don't understand what the hanging ladies are supposed to represent.

>>390032317
This is the PC version isn't it?

Looks like it's missing a lot of effects.

>>390032865
Suffering? They are permanently hanged, in a perpetual state of suffocation.

>>390033634
I mean, yeah that's literally what can be described as happening, just usually there's a bit of deeper symbolism.

It could just be a case where there isn't any here though, not everything has to be.

Played the first game today, it was very short. How long are the others comparatively?

>>390033965
They're a bit longer.

Gosh, i miss Silent Hill but i'm glad the series is dead.

>>390033965
Second one is longer
Third one is pretty short

>>390032865
Alessa and Heather/Cheryl?

>>390034475
Hmm, I like that theory.

Could definitely be something there.

>>390033965
First and third are probably comparable length, however I think third can take longer on a first playthrough.

2nd is longer, and 4th is probably the longest.

People love to shit on the 4th but I think it is still on the same level as the others, maybe not as good overall but it's still team silent quality.

>>390032641
This is not sexy.

>>390032641
Are my eyes fucking with me or does it kind of look like she's got hairy legs there?

>>390034924
4th is shit.
Why?
1. Burping nurses.
2. Wheelchair fight.
3. Whole second part of the game is the same as the first, but now you walking around with criple and spooky Brad Pitt stapled to you.
4. First trailer was way to good. I have never felt anything from this trailer in actual game.

>>390035361
Nope.

Stagnation my friend. It's been said in the past for a reason, and it's completely true. Silent 1-4 cover quite literally everything, and leave essentially no room for another game in the series that wouldn't be a complete retread. Wanting him to outdo what he's already done perfectly in the past is a waste of everybody's time. Let them start a new IP at leave Silent Hill to rest.

>>390036209
Well Silent Hill 3 originally had a different premise.

Half the team wanted to make the original premise and the other half wanted to appease fans and tie up loose ends, the latter won out.

So there's still that potential seed of something different that could be done, however that's only in a hypothetical scenario where Team Silent actually reunited which will literally never happen.

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.

This guide is commendable but pretty much unnecessary at this point when you can emulate 1 - 4 with pretty much zero issues and with all the visual bell and whistles the PC versions don't have.

On the contrary. PS2 emulation still sucks major ass, and requires ten times stronger PC than the PC ports.

From the wiki.

Don't have the original source but I have no reason to believe it's not true.

And I disagree. I love what we got but I have no reason to believe the alternative couldn't have been just as good or better. 1 had by far the weakest plot and 3 is a carbon copy with different characters. What makes 3 amazing is the atmosphere and gameplay which is probably the best in the series, put an original story on top of that and I think it would have been even better than what we got.

Who said there's anything wrong with SH2, you mouth breathing troglodyte? Unlike you I just don't want the same 'protagonist faces inner demons' game made over and fucking over again. One game like that done perfectly is all I need.

>>390037859
I wish they did, the cult is the most boring and uninspired part of Silent Hill when it comes to plot.

Pretty much only serves as a base to explain the strange properties of the town, which it does well. Nothing else ever has to be said or done with the cult again and just limits the possibilities of a SH game.

>>390038025
Someone facing their inner demons objectively has more possibilities than yet another "cult ties to birth god" rehash.

Please enlighten me on what else they could do with the cult that would be more interesting.

You can't because that story has arch has been closed in SH3. That's the point I'm trying to make here. There's no substance left in the series because they explored everything perfectly within the first three games. Just leave the fucking series alone already. We don't need a game to be called Silent Hill for someone to face their inner demons in a town. Fuck off.

So you just don't want a sequel.

That's fair, but inner demons is flat out the best scenario for sequels if they are going to be made, especially because there's a precedent in Silent Hill 2.

I also disagree, plenty can be done to make a unique story with the same conceptual premise. It wouldn't "literally" the same game.

>>390037130
He's referring to the old times of gaming when the PAL games actually ran at slower speed, thanks to the 60hz to 50hz conversion, which was often done lazily, and thus resulted a minor slowdown compared to American versions.

Some devs however did learn to sync their games to the TIME instead of framerate, or actually optimized their games' speed to compensate the PAL conversion's reduction, so there was no visible slowdown. By the mid-00s, PAL 60 also became a thing, and any LCD can run both 50/60hz, with numerous PS2 and GC games even offering a choice between the two at the beginning.

AFAIK, SH2-4 were well ported to PAL regions.
SH1 however, being an older game, runs a tad slower than NTSC.

The problem with the western SH games is they followed the SH2 formula but without doing anything interesting with it. Instead of taking cues from Angela (rape victim) or Eddie (bullied retard) or even Maria (playing a lost fabrication of the town), they did James again (dude guilt lmao). SH3 is unique because the horror is influenced by the POV of a teenage girl, so the level/monster design will tell stories of loss of innocence, those kind of fears (one of the boss is literally a giant cock poking through holes). Even Room had the right idea by making the town's version creator be the antagonist serial killer rather than the character you're playing. It's possible that the original idea for SH3 was simply a similar character to Heather, quite different from James' story about guilt.

There's so much one could do with the concept of a town that twists an unconscious psyche's fears and desires into some kind of abstract hell. But it requires different kinds of themes, traumas and personality types to change the experience. Homecoming/Downpour/Origins completely missed that because they wanted a generic competent male protagonist/rugged action hero instead of psychologically weak and vulnerable nutcase.

Hmm

>>390039426
I legitimately did all of that on my first playthrough without ever having any knowledge of the game. I still didn't get the good ending though because there were other prerequisites I didn't meet.

>>390039426
none of that is required for the Good ending. Just for the +, which doesn't really matter much in the end.

I literally just beat SH2 on PCSX2 and it was perfect, and this is from someone who owns the actual PS2 version and has beat it 5+ times.

The mistake you're making (just like everyone else) is disconnecting the events from the cause. Why is Heather going through the events of SH3? Because of the demon god within her womb. Why does she have a demon god within her womb? Because of what took place in Silent Hill. What is Silent Hill? So on and so forth, down the rabbit hole you can go. Silent Hill is way, way more than a spooky town forcing people to face their inner demons. Every game - and I mean every single game from 1-4 - added new context to the town's history and its inhabitants. When you continue to make a game just because you think the premise of SH2 is cool, regardless of who is developing it, you get origins, and Homecoming and Downpour.

>PS2 emulation still sucks major ass, and requires ten times stronger PC


PS2 emulation isn't perfect but it's one of the most memed things I've ever seen. 90% of games can run almost flawlessly on PCSX2 if you know how to set up the plugin settings. It requires no more patience or knowledge than fucking with graphics settings on PC games, people just have no patience, or they don't have all the right bios or something I don't even know.

>>390039839
I just watched some emulated SH3 footage on YT from this year, and the shadows etc are all fucked up.

>>390040245
>It requires no more patience or knowledge than fucking with graphics settings on PC games
Far from it. Different plugins and individual settings with no clear meaning can give very varying results, and even then the PCSX2 is far from the optimal choice for ANYTHING.

Despite the flaws its a very nice game.

>>390040382
>I just watched some emulated SH3 footage on YT from this year, and the shadows etc are all fucked up.

He did it wrong then, I'm playing it now and all the shadows are in tact. You honestly just don't know shit about PS2 emulation and neither did the people you watched those videos from.

>>390040476
I'm assuming you're using native resolution and default shadows, not enhanced?

Still, you're awfully defensive for one of the shittiest emulators out there.

>>390040564
No, I'm using 8 times resolution with original aspect ratio.

You have to use OpenGL - hardware option in plugin settings to keep all the shadows and effects in tact. Switching it to any other video plug in will fuck it up. And call me defensive, whatever I just think PS2 emulation is very underrated.

I'm not trying to say it's perfect but people give it way more shit than it deserves. And it is far from one of the shittiest emulators out there.

>>390040795
>No, I'm using 8 times resolution with original aspect ratio.
so no shadow and other effect enhancements?
So yeah, +1 for the PC port right there.

>>390040425
Guns in that game feel just right, if i recall.
I need to replay this game, and actually finish it this time.

>>390040193
Pregnancy themes could have still been relevant with a SH2 formula, themes of post-partum, abortion, etc. Demon womb is a theme common in horror for its metaphors of young mothers psyches (Rosemary's Baby for example), but a lot of people rightfully don't care much for the cult stuff in SH3 because it's too literal and generic, like the writers were just going through the motions because of SH1. Fighting a demon god as a final boss isn't interesting, but fighting "your baby" is. If SH3 had been more abstract than literal instead of trying to have both ways, the boss fight could have been more memorable, without retreading James story.

I don't know how the Team Silent worked on SH3 but if you remember for SH4 they just slapped the cult lore on top of the themes they really wanted to explore, and the game could have worked just as well as a stand-alone title without the SH justification.

Homecoming tried to have it both ways and had cult stuff as well as retreading James storyline and it was still complete lazy uninspired garbage.

>SH and TEW fans in one thread

All the autists fighting over which silent hill is best aside, this is a good thread.

>>390041292
Walter still is a cult baby. Without the cult's teaching he would never know about the ritual. So i think the cult aspect of Sh4 was very necessary.

>>390042165
The point isn't that the cult shouldn't be in the games, it's that they shouldn't be the focus, and they most definitely weren't in SH4.

What would you like to see in a Silent Hill 5?
Anything gameplay related?

>>390042221
I don't see how you can say that, as SH4 is probably THE most cult-centric SH game to date.

>>390042353
You know those Silent Hill games 1 through 3?
Do more of that.

>>390042367
I guess that just goes to show it's the only one you've played. It's plain asinine to have that opinion when 3 and 1 were 100% about the cult and birthing god.

Walter just used his knowledge gained through the cult for his own ends.

>because it's too literal and generic
Highly ironic, considering Silent Hill had a much more layered and in-depth story than SH2. And tell me, what about SH1 and 3 is too literal and generic? How is it that SH2 is less literal and generic when both 1 and 3 explore multiple themes, contain characters with varying motivations and a demonic power that creates all manner of character-specific environments and monsters?
>If SH3 had been more abstract than literal instead of trying to have both ways
Mentally tripping all over yourself. I'm just so fucking glad that 3 turned out the way it did, and that they didn't fall for the 'face your inner demons' shit again. God that would have been truly horrible.

>>390042437
>I guess that just goes to show it's the only one you've played
Nigga, you gotta be fucking kidding me!
I've literally played every single SH related game as they have come out. I own every single main-series' game, and SH1 is still my very favorite.

>3 and 1 were 100% about the cult and birthing god.
Nope, both were all about a personal struggle of one small girl, resulted by a mistreatment of religious parents and bullying community, resulting in twisted nightmarish infestations that alter the reality itself. Literal personal demons spawned from subjects of fear and hatred.
In the foreground, you got the gameplay premise & plot: A man looking for his daughter in a spooky town, a girl trying to get home from horrors, followed by a revenge quest.

>Walter just used his knowledge gained through the cult for his own ends.
He was literally the plan B for in case Alessa project would fail, and you also get to see some of the cult's facilities and read about their past. It's very much about the Cult and what it can do to people.

>>390042512
The part i linked is not about Downpour itself. It's master Rosseter saying that you have to be stupid to think that Silent Hill is not all about the cult.

>>390042701
Just admit you don't like inner demons because it's SH2 is the most popular and regarded game in the series and be done with it. You're embarrassing yourself at this point.

>>390042790
timed links don't work on 4chan, just that you know.
But you're right; the cult is an essential piece in the SH's story and lore, but it has for the most part played a background detail role.

>>390042810
>you don't like inner demons because it's SH2 is the most popular and regarded game in the series and be done with it.

Not that guy you replied to. But i don't like because it's extremely corny and there is a reason why no one in Hollywood copied such a dumb concept, because any writer would laugh at something like this.

>>390042905
It's no more corny than a doomsday cult trying to birth a god.

Also what works in games doesn't always work in movies.

>>390042810
>Just admit you don't like inner demons
Yes, because it's already been done perfectly in SH2
>because it's SH2 is the most popular
Nah, I love SH2 as much as I love 1 and 3. They're all works that exceed themselves. It's because of this love that I don't want more games sharing the same title, trying and failing at being the same thing.

>>390042701
>Mentally tripping all over yourself. I'm just so fucking glad that 3 turned out the way it did, and that they didn't fall for the 'face your inner demons' shit again. God that would have been truly horrible.
Again, I love 3, it's my favorite even (that doesn't mean I can't be critical about how uninspired the cult stuff ultimately is), but your view of the inner demons formula is obviously tainted by the unimaginative western sequels. I'm sure team silent would have made something unique and different even with a similar concept/no cult stuff.

>>390042975
>It's no more corny than a doomsday cult trying to birth a god.
Except it was not a "doomsday cult". In fact, the cult itself wasn't even trying to birth a god; it was all an idea of the tiny group of Gillespie's, who wanted to hasten the biblical prophecies on their own.

On the contrary, the sheer amount of references, allusions and easter eggs packed shows that whoever was responsible actually cared about the games, hell, maybe they even PLAYED them unlike half the people in this thread.

>>390048386
The first movie was a cliche horror flick with silent hill imagery which was inserted into it out of place and with no consideration to actual game lore.

While Silent Hill is all about the cult, the cool thing about SH was facing the results of the cult's actions and not the cult itself. That's why i found the movie's focus on religious and Christian stuff to be really stupid.
