Also it looks fucking amazing.

...the fuck? I already noticed this back in PS2 + CRT TV days.

But yeah, we've had endless "Holy shit, THIS is a PS2 game??" threads about the Silent Hill titles. Gotta re-post the guide and links next.

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.

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.

You can see fine emulator settings for SH1 in the guide too. You could also give the new PGXP emulator a shot for wobble-free PS1 graphics.

He's got no style, he's got no grace, this Closer has a human face!

that FOV seems a biiit to wide. You're no supposed to go THAT out of bounds with the camera.

>human
friend that is a vagina

>Force MAXIMUM GRAPHICS through GPU

SH 2 & 3 are possibly the only games that look aesthetically better with the original graphics.

They are not meant to look clean.

I have it on PS2 but only ever played it on PC, but never on a PC that had a good enough graphics card to push anything higher than the low default.

I still don't understand why the downloads and PC bits of this years old guide that still gets updated don't just link to the PCGW article.

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME
but yeah still tweaking, just launched the first level with everything on

who the fuck wrote that guide ?

2, 3, 4 are meant to either be played on the PS2 or via emulation.

please guys don't waste these games playing the PC ports.

>2, 3, 4 are meant to either be played on the PS2 or via emulation.
fuck off. The PC ports are superb and require far less PC specs & time to work nice than PS2 emu.

The PC ports run miles better than emulation on a lot of computers, and in SH3 the only real downside I've noticed is the unlockable outfits are missing. And they can be modded in.

SH2 fair enough if that shit fog hasn't been fixed.

>The PC ports are superb

not really, apart from the textures they are almost as bad as the HD collection in removing the atmosphere.
seriously whoever wrote the guide ignore it, it's not even a question. SH are are all about the ambiance, the PC ports ruin it.

If by "The PC ports are superb" you mean "the fog effects and stability are better on the PS2" Then sure, man.

>they are almost as bad as the HD collection in removing the atmosphere.
No, they fucking are not.
Crawl back to where ever you came from.

>he hasn't heard of the ""new"" Fog Fix
>he hasn't used sh2proxy or the newer fan-patch
wew lads, the newfaggotry is strong ITT

>The PC ports run miles better than emulation on a lot of computers
jesus, you are literally fucking people over spreading this bullshit.

PS2 emulator / PS2 console is the only way to play Silent Hill. Trust user.

This.
First, PS2 version's lighting....

That face doesn't look human to me.

Looks like a weird vagina-tube.

....versus PC's lighting.
Checkmate, Tomm.

I can read what you're saying but it's not making any sense.

jkjk, you are entitled to your opinion. But once again, emulation has only been possible for a fraction of the time that the ports have been out, so you're excluding a lot of people who played the game on PC port only.

Also it's dumb as fuck because the first time I played, it was identical to the PS2 port. It's only SH2 that has this fog problem.

Emulation of PS2 games to a higher standard than the console has only been fucking possible for most people in the past 5 or so years, the ports have been out since the game was released. What I'm saying is that since it was released not everybody was able to play the PS2 version (or wants to because of legality or whatever) or could even run it for a long time. So what's the point fucking arguing that only a newly-accessible way of playing is the only way to play it?

>most people literally have ancient craptops with no dedicated GPU and sub-mediocre CPU
Yeah, good luck running PS2 emulation on that crap. Meanwhile, the PC ports run flawlessly on them, even better actually than on expensive desktops.

>Checkmate, Tomm.
wtf does Tomm have to do with the PS2 light ?

also your PCgif is not really good, it's totally flat and there is no flare. if you are trying to make a case in favour of the PC you failed.

>reasonably optimized PC titles that ran on decent machines back in 2003
>PS2 games running on an emulator that still has sub-par optimization in 2017
Truly superior.

>it's totally flat and there is no flare. i
why the fuck would there be flare on the back side anyway?

You're really grasping straws now, sonny.

Are you implying Tomm had anything to do with the PC port, or that he massively prefers them? Because if anything he preferred the console versions.

also reviving this ancient antiquated infographic

Nope.
Problems with reading comprehension, by any chance?

I'm not gonna argue with a poor slav-bro but the fact that the guide is poor people friendly doesn't make it good.

you are misleading people. PS2 ISOs is the only acceptable way to play SH.

Links for widescreen and resolution fixes?

I really want to play now

>the fact that the guide is poor people friendly doesn't make it good.
....what the fuck are you even babbling anymore?

>PS2 ISOs is the only acceptable way to play SH.
Nope. As way older and original SH fag, I can honestly say that you are nothing but full of shit.

As long as you stay the fuck away from the abysmal "HD" "Collection" on PS3/360, you will be fine.

>Nope.

then why mention Tomm ?

>why the fuck would there be flare on the back side anyway?

The fuck should I know ? You made a terrible gif, you make a better one that actually shows the PC version is better.

Different people. I'm literally psoting screencaps of my graphics pushed up to maximum. I could play it with an emulator, but I'd rather integrate it to Steam so I can play with the Steam Controller easily like I can with the PC port.

>Checkmate, Tomm

didn't bother to read the thread? >You made a terrible gif, you make a better one that actually shows the PC version is better.
1) I didnt make it.
2) You're blind and clearly IT illiterate as well, not realizing the obvious per-vertex VS per-pixel lighting comparison.

>all this faggotry over ps2(emulation) vs pc
Can't we just say shit about Tomm like fun times?

Your picture suffers of very clear aspect ratio problems. Shit is stretched, and you somehow also seem to see beyond intended limits too.

What about the widescreen and resolution fixes? The guide gives links for just the game

>Posting SH2 port gifs to prove the SH3 port is shitty

THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PORTS

The light in SH3 is improved above the PS2 version for fucks' sake

I uhh.. I don't see it..
Isn't it just a vagina?

See previous post
Honestly, probably. Still tweaking so haven't seen any past that level. When I played it in the past I thought it was a vagina but it seemed like a squashed face with a nose and eyes in this and I haven't seen any further in-game.


PCGamingWiki has links.

>the guide gives links for just the game
....uh, no. It does not.
The GUIDE is the picture. It tells ya what to download and apply.

Ignore the DL links and the step-by-step instructions for casuals that's copypasted besides it.

>PCGamingWiki has links and optimisation guides.
is what I meant to quote.

>not realizing the obvious per-vertex VS per-pixel lighting comparison.
it looks flat.

>I'm literally psoting screencaps of my graphics pushed up to maximum.

yeah I can see that and I'm telling you it's not meant to look like that. Masahiro Ito said way back it's not meant to look that clean.

>do what op says
>Pick up ammo
>Doesnt register

I cba anyway, all the doors are locked

You're the one who doesn't realise he's just saying this shit because you're assblasting your boypussy over it

>it looks flat.
you don't even know what that means.

And have never heard of Ito saying jack shit about running the games at HD resolutions. They hold up fucking well.
He only ever bashed the god-awful, actually flattened and cleaned up HD ports.

>the only acceptable way
Not even actual cows are full of as much bullshit as you
As long as the port isn't a janky mess that's broken beyond repair, you don't get to decide what is and isn't acceptable no matter how loud you can screech autistically

If you're referring to his years-old post where he says screenshots someone posted were too clean and so sterile (or something), he was referring to the HD version literally scrubbing the fucking dirt off of textures. You're just making shit up.

you seem to be under the impression that he has replaced the textures to make the game look "clean"

ITT: The only acceptable way to play the game is the way that has only been possible with a decent emulator in the past few years rather than the way everyone played it since the game came out

>you don't even know what that means.

you imply I don't know what "per-vertex VS per-pixel lighting" means.
because flat means flat. and it's not supposed to look flat.

You don't know what "flat" even means.
then again, you haven't even played the game.

this thread = an educated discussion about the merits of different brands of turd polish.

Fuck you, my brand is best.

>you don't get to decide what is and isn't acceptable

The fact that the PC ports are better than the HD collection doesn't make the the best way to play the games.
The fact that the PC ports can run on shit CPUs doesn't make the the best way to play the games.

They are a fine compromise I guess but the best way to experience the games is the PS2 isos via emulation or console. Especially for someone new.

Why? Objective reasoning, please.

Pretend we're having this conversation three years ago when Dolphin was shit on most computers (and still is on a lot)

What the FUCK would you recommend?

Best fog effects

Fog Fix can make the fog even thicker than on PS2. And you only see actual fog for like 3 whole scenes in the whole game.

Next.

I've never had any luck getting these games to run properly. Followed the guides to the letter, but SH2 always ends up not accepting any input, and the shadows are always fucked on 3. I've tried on 3 different PCs, 2 with Windows 7 and one with 10, and the results are always the same.

SH3 doesn't have worse fog effects on PC that I know of. Can you show screenshots of both so you're not just reciting the same shit you're reciting about the flashlights in SH2?

SH2 PC PORT =/= SH4 PC PORT

Also please make these screenshots include any fog fixes, as any fixes past the release date are as valid as the fucking ABILITY TO EMULATE THE GAME PAST RELEASE DATE

SH3 PC PORT*

Huh. I've never HAD problems getting the PC ports to run. Not natively back in my P4 + WinXP times, not on my previous Core2duo times, when I had to use the manual affinity fix (old ass pic related), nor with my current i5 + 560ti + W7 Ultimate system, using sh2proxy.

I only few weeks ago tried the new SH3's widescreen fix, and with those hi-res shadows & DOF effects... holy shit it was orgasmic!

>Masahiro Ito said way back it's not meant to look that clean.

It's okay because he ignored everyone telling him why he's full of shit so that means he's right

>Dolphin was shit

it heavily depends on the game bruh. SH 2,3,4 are both effortless to run on the PS2 emulator and are the best visual choice.
I don't know why the OP gets triggered about "muh Pentium 4".

...

>Be me
>Use past tense in reference to my whole point as to when Dolphin had inferior emulation and optimisation and could not run most games

>Be you
>DURRR IT'S FINE NOW IT RUNS NO PROBLEM

Silent Hill 3 is the best game of all time

prove me wrong

I can't

BECAUSE IT IS

No its face is supposed to resemble a fleshlight. Not a human face.

Nice, good taste. Though you can't really disagree with objective facts, my friend

>best game of all time

Nope, 2 was superior and 1 is arguably better although I'd still give it to 3 by a slight margin. Also plenty of better made games out there than SH3.

tho actually I've started replaying Beyond G&E since palying it on PS2 years ago and oh my god I forgot how amazing it is

Especially as I'm trialling my steam controller and it works flawlesslly so it's as good as I remember it being

not him but
Dolphin was shit on most computers (and still is on a lot)
>(and still is on a lot)

2 has an objectively better story on its own because 3 relies on 1 to make any sense, but 3 is still my favourite because it doesn't shy away from the past games or any lore

>Implying everyone has a great PC
REMEMBER THIS WHOLE FUCKING ARGUMENT STEMMED FROM THE PC PORT RUNNING ON A FUCKING TOASTER AND THE EMULATED VERSIONS NOT RUNNING ON ANYTHIGN THAT WASN'T HOT SHIT

>6th gen

like I said I was just popping in, and 5.0 runs great.

>Japanese refuse to port games to PC until a good few years have passed
Standards for ports kinda sorta rose
PeeSeaMasterRace meme got out of control
Japs won't bother anymore
Everybody buy a PS4

FUCKING THIS

It's like playing the steam version of ffix over the original

A few days a go in a thread about the 6th gen some guy started spouting shit about how everyone ever hated the PC/Xbox ports compared to the perfect PS2 version because "muh fog", that the PS2 lighting looked "comfier" and that i wouldn't know about such complaints only because i "don't lurk enough SH threads"

This guy ITT is either the very same kind of PS2 fanboy or a dedicated troll that took inspiration from them, i insist that I've never seen people bitching so much about the PC ports in all these years

Mentioned it in another post about that, but since then I played beyond that level and yeah it is more vagina-like. But in motion in that scene I swear it looked so much like a stretched out face rather than anything yonic.

I choose to believe it's meant to be both maybe, like a once human face distorted into Heather being weird about fannies.

SH1 is the best SH game alone, so #3 can't be best anything.

youtube.com/watch?v=nna2yt1c9gI

Digital foundry literally made a video showing how the ps2 version is objectively better than the pc version

Just emulate it if you can't play on ps2

it's nothing like that at all

literally the only similarity is that you're playing a PC port

>Everybody buy a PS4

Bitch please, everyone and their mother had a PS2. The PS4 is a fucking Pippin compared to the abundance that was the PS2. If anything, the smaller console userbase should mean a greater chance of games being ported.

HOT OPINION COMING IN

best way of playing SH is on the console it originated from. from there, its the PC ports since they run very well and look really good. then lastly, emulation. probably the most susceptible to bugs and needs of fixing, but will do in a pinch.

now can you faggots please stop arguing?

2 came before 3 though. So technically before 3 was even a thing you could have easily came to the assumption that each game was supposed to be different and that would have been a fair thought to have.

They are all good anyways though.

Yeah SH1 is great and all but its not really replayable, too old

So I dont give a shit about it

humans have vaginas

>Yeah SH1 is great and all but its not really replayable, too old
...the fuck are you babbling?
It's whooping TWO years older than SH2, and has EXACTLY the same gameplay as its two, prettier sequels. It also has far superior world design, pacing, and is notably scarier game to boot.

>Just emulate it if you can't play on ps2

this.

>The PS4 is a fucking Pippin compared to the abundance that was the PS2.

the PS4 is selling better that the PS2 given the same time frame.

>SH1
>not replayable
The fuck you saying?! I got over 40 playthoughs clocked on SH1 by this day, plus numerous shorter fooling around sessions.

SH2 is close second with ~30 playthroughs.

Before I watch this shit, does it cover the various fog/ DOF fixes that have come out since?

Yeah, but a lot of the complaints you hear about SH3 are stuff like "it didn't abandon the entire cult aspect of the town like SH2 did" (even though SH2 DID NOT, it just wasn't a big part of the plot so it was in lore/sidelines only). For some reason people get pissed off at SH3 like it dragged SH back into the dark age of cult-only by being the first game to do so in a story that made sense rather than blaming the hamfisted american fucking versions.

>probably the most susceptible to bugs and needs of fixing, but will do in a pinch.

what bugs ?

>tfw own HD collection

It'll be rare one day because everyone threw their copies in the garbage. You'll see, you'll all see!

...

it'll be the next Superman 64.

Sh1 is clunky and kinda boring

Sh2 and 3 are better

>Sh1 is clunky and kinda boring
It plays EXACTLY the same as SH2-3. Without suffering of total slog of a beginning like them. And it's notably scarier than SH2.

SH2 and 3 are merely standalone expansions of the original, without ever quite nailing its beauty.
