To me, atmosphere and ambience

I'm a one man myself. It started it all and has a big, open area to explore.

>why is it the first Silent Hill?
Because it has:

-Largest, most interesting and varied town sections.
-Best pacing out of the whole series; the slow beginning and Apartments in SH2 really grind people's gears.
-Great, varied major locations (School, hospital, sewers...)
-Better enemy and boss variation, all of 'em are fairly dangerous
-Nicely balanced difficulty, both action & puzzles.
-Scary as fuck, full of mindfuck parts as well
-Great visual design, full of small details.
-Awesome soundtrack and audiowork in general.

I don't understand people who voluntarily skip SH1.

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 Widescreen Fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!
The WS Fix fixes and overhauls SH2 in numerous ways, making it definitive SH2 HD experience.

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.

2 will always be the best.

2 is great in many ways, but pales in comparison to 1 and 3, even with 4, when it comes to actual horror and challenge.

1 also has way better pacing than 2.

We should make our silent hill game.

Too early for daddy-posting anons? If so, I can wait.

Atmosphere and music.

youtube.com/watch?v=lz6gBM7E2xY

Music makes a hospital in broad daylight to be absolutely terrifying.

yes.

>We should make our silent hill game.
I tried to, some 15 years ago.

Thank you.

looks like a giraffe but i'm not sure since there's no zoo around

Harry is based

Lol no, It is the worst of the 4 games. Just like mgs 2

>Harry, please accept this third ressurection attempt baby version of myself as your responsibility
>now take care because she is also the biological daughter of Dhalia Gillespie and short tempered crazy BITCH is in her very DNA
>oh btw did i mention she is already carrying the dromant destroyer of worlds in her womb right now tee hee?
>oh and don't feed her ice cream and stuff after midnight or she will kick off big time, believe me
>oh and when she becomes a teen don't let her near cigarettes
>or booze
>or anywhere near cocky badboys, im super serious about that one, she will find them fast. A lot.
>oh and she might carry knives so keep an eye on that
>K THNX BAI

Harry is cucked user, not based.

SH3 would be the best if heather wasn't so annoying

Thats a weird way to say super cool and hot as fuck user.

You are wrong.

True, but i still like 2 more because of the characters and story

I liked how she was a cunt to everyone but immediatelly turned into a sweet little girl when it came to Harry.

i thought she was actually less annoying than your typical rebellious video game protagonist girl, maybe because she was sad and mad for a reason

God i know another vidya girl like that, that makes my dick milk all on its own

REVIVE IT

why you repost same boring shit

Eh, who knows. I still got the files and all.
Story-wise, it was pretty much going to be a SH4 x SH1 ripoff, with some monsters spookily close to shit we saw in Homecoming later on.

Nah m8. He is right.

There literally is no best. 1=2=3. Only difference is preference, and I prefer 3. Feels the most refined to me, the team distilling their best and brightest ideas through the experience of the previous two into this one game.

3

Open area of nothing to interact with. Let's be honest, you'd call that a walking simulator in any ither game.

Also for silent hill 2, play that shit on hard, I played it on normal and by end game, I was swimming in ammo for all my weapons .

Thats what pasta is for user.

I fucking love it when Heather starts to reeeeeeeeeeeeeee, she can yell at my erect wetting dick anytime

Hard tends to slap many rookies against a wall at the hospital underground running section. I recall being stuck on said part some 2 months when I started my first Hard playthough.

Interaction is not the focus of the game. It's all about exploring for environmental or literal written lore bits and scavenging for supplies, both that there's way more in 1 than in all sequels.

I was looking forward to downpour but it sucked.

SILENT HILL 3 A BEST

It sucked so much that it partially redeemed Homecoming for me, honestly.

Heather is nothing like Chloe
Chloe's dad dies and she becomes a cunt
Heather's dad dies and she go and kills the fucker and everyone associated with it while joking about it.

3>2>1
All of them are 10/10s on their own, but on a personal level, SH3 is my favorite.

Still impresses me how SH3 models still look so good after all these years

Heather is so beautiful for PS2 it's unreal.

>Heather will never be real
Why live?

no, thats sean connery

because I can play her game

Just goes to show how far good art-directing + good basic art skills (3D topology + texture work + hand made animations) can get you. I'd have no problems playing games that look like SH3 & 4 today, and such assets would barely tease modern components.

what's impressive IMO is that TeamSilent managed to rival the FMV quality 3D models and animations, with their real-time models and anims, just a couple years after the release of SH2, which still had a quite noticeable quality differences between in-game and CG FMVs.

Similarly, SH2's real-time visuals look even better than SH1's pre-rendered FMVs.

>4 better than 2
even origins is better than that turd

Why do you guys like silent hill? Please be specific, it could be for something as small as camra angles or tank controls.

Cause it's trying to be about personal problems and inner demons of main characters in those games.

Unfortunately, only SH2 and SM is successful at that.

>Which is the best Silent Hill and why is it the first Silent Hill?

Biggest Silent Hill, best paced Silent Hill, damn fine attention to detail the others lack. But it's PSX and ugly, so people will avoid it and start with 2.

God-tier puzzles put SH at the top of my favorite games.

its clearly not about personal problems and inner demons if only two games in the series do it dumbass

We can always be together, user, you know what to do!

If you ask fans, they will tell you every SH game from "TS" is about that.

She really was annoying and ruined most cutscenes by acting like a edgy brat all the time.

You faggots make me hate these fucking threads. Every fucking time there's a good SH discussion you degenerates come in and trash it. I like sh3 as much as the next guy but holy shit quit shitting up every thread you retarded Heather poster

I don't think you seem to understand the capacity for my self distructive sexual prefrences in girls user

I like the setting. It manages to pull off the evil small town cult pretty well, while Hollywood always fails at doing this.

I like the idea of this small resort town having this ancient power that hides a world filled with industrial structures and deformed creatures roaming it.

The execution is spectacular and the atmosphere is amazing.

>you retarded Heather poster
>singular

user.

Nah. The guy you're replying is 100% right

In SH1, Alessa wasn't facing anything, the creatures were just a byproduct, the result of the ritual to birth God.

In SH2, Silent Hill is trying to awake James from his delusion, so he can kill himself. The town really is trying to make him face his hidden memories, but not for any moralistic reason.

In SH3, another byproduct, Heather is not facing any personal problem or trauma, the creatures are acting out of instinct of defending their territory and in turn Heather is getting angrier and angrier and making the God in her womb get stronger and more developed.

In SH4, Henry was just unlucky to rent the wrong apartment and Walter is not facing any personal problem, he wants to have his "mother" so he executes the ritual. You could say the women bodies in cages at the spiral staircase could be his hatred towards women for being rejected his entire life, but he was rejected by everyone.

how did u do this? u got a comm app u can use? discord vent? etc? LET'S TALK!!!!

>muh daughter

>muh daddy

To be fair, most of the people she met were creepy assholes (though she warmed up to Douglas eventually).

muh dick

why did harry leave a stungun in heather's room

>Silent Hill
>RPG
way to ruin it.

you just know

You're wrong about every game, except for 3.

Silent Shill

This shit gif wasn't worth it

Those faces are actually better than the ones you can see in bloodborne

Don't get me even started with shit like FO4

>how did u do this?
RPG Maker 2003 + tons of hours in MS Paint & ripping shit from GBA's Play Novel, PS1 screenshots, official promo stuff, etc.

>t. Silent Hill wiki editor

Can you at least provide arguments? In SH1 the LE GUILT factor didn't even exist, the director just thought it would be neat to have a traumatized child's psyche project onto the world. It projects even things she likes like the Magic of OZ and insects.
in SH2, James's subconscious desires punishment, which gives the impression that the town in punishing him.

It wasn't until SH0 that it really became about trauma.

Travis didn't have any trauma.

You clearly don't understand what are you talking about.

He gifted her with a stungun so she could protect herself. The cult was hunting for her, remember?

what happens when 2 very different people go into silent hill together?

His mother trying to kill him and his father's suicide, retard. The entire game is about these two events.

Is this Silent Hill newfag week? I have to school even Hulletfags now.

Depends who they are and stuff.
Either nothing, literally one and the same thing, or something totally different for both.

All of the original trilogy's games are examples of these.

Origins doesn't really matter, so it's fine to not quite "get" it.

>never play below normal difficulty

I recently played through 1, and there's no way I would be able to play that shitshow on hard. Those outside sections were fucking terrible.

okie

>I recently played through 1, and there's no way I would be able to play that shitshow on hard.
And it was just half a day earlier that I saw some tryhard HC gaymer claim that these games are piss easy even on Hard modes.

AHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHA
someone please kill me

how about you place some rightful vengeance upon Konami's HQ instead?

Blame Kojima. Konami gave him the chance to revive the series and he fucked it up.

SHfags, why in Silent Hill 1 the creatures and the otherworld only appear after Cheryl arrives at Silent Hill?

Fuck you. Don't you even try to shift Konami's sins on the man who actually tried to revive the long old series.

because Alessa's soul is made whole again, which activates the catastrophic spreading of the involuntary psi-projections, corrupting the town little by little into nightmarish hellscapes.

it would help if kojima didn't spend all his budget on celebs

SH1&3 for the spooky shit and 2 for the feels

>implying
it's not like they built one of the most impressive and best optimized game engines of our time, and attempted to best all the previous titles in the series.

Plus, $80M budget and 5year development time is nothing compared to 100M and 6 years it took to finish Zelda: BotW.

>Why do you guys like silent hill?
-Spooky, in good way.
-Superb OSTs.
-Great visuals, even in SH1.
-Awesome stories and lore, that will take you a long while to fully unravel and understand...
-...thanks to extensive use of symbolism.
-Tons of replay value thanks to unlockables, different endings, different difficulty settings, and tons of small details you WILL miss at first.

SH literally took RE's gameplay, but made everything you see and experience in the game much more sinister, deeper and mature. They're the kind of games you will end up thinking about for days after you finish them, and also will probably learn brand new details about 'em years later.

Needs graphical remaster.

don' you have a DDL for SH3? I can't use Torrent at Uni for some uknown reasons.

Now that The Return has ended, I hope some good fella develops a new horror video game based on the fresh elements of the series!

>don' you have a DDL for SH3?
I do. It reads right there in the post.

>I can't use Torrent at Uni for some uknown reasons.
it's the most KNOWN reason in the world:
your school's blocking it, to stop students from pirating shit.

>actually scary
>doesnt rely on jumpscares too much
>atmosphere
>fun puzzles
>good stories
>good characters
>good enemy design
>amazing soundtracks

Ranking the ones that I have played:
SH = SH2 > Origins > SH3 > Shattered Memories > Downpour >> Homecoming

Yes, I like Origins more than SH3. Fight me.

The Return barely features the Twin Peaks town or the occultism lore. It's mostly Dougie acting like a retard and boring FBI scenes.
