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!
If 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 & PS4 gamepads natively. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M. There's OK emu-settings for SH1 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! Try the PGXP emulator 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.

Bump because i was late for the other thread

Here is an idea for a Silent Hill game: You play as multiple protags.
The fact that this wasn't done in an actually game is a damn missed opportunity.

>You play as multiple protags. So you wanna turn SH into a Siren ripoff? A game with shitty pacing and immersion-breaking pauses all the time?
Ian Nguyen
>tfw Heater trap user will never deliver Because it's a shitpost. Multiple anons do this in these threads to bait people like you.

Does the 2nd game have Shakespeare tier hard puzzles as well or can I go with hard on the first playthrough
Brody Davis
I think it could work with two protags and at the end their stories would complete each other Imagine if SH1 and SH3 were a single game
Austin Hernandez
No, but it will be more cryptic.
Noah Evans
Is the SH1 newbie lurking around here? It was fun listening to his tales. Last time I think he was in the Hospital?
David Morgan
What if you're free to choose which character you can play? like, depending what you did or how much you play as any particular character, you can change the outcome of the game. Say, for example, you have 4 characters, each with their own set of missions, and depending how much you did with them, their story arc could intertwine with each other or they could even not meet each other at all.

Andrew Brooks
better, faster emu settings for SH1, dozo
Benjamin Jackson
what in bajeezus is that even? why is it wearing a bra? there's a hospital?
Juan Rivera
Doesn't sound too bad actually. Only games I know to even try such things were the old Resident Evil games and KH: Birth By Sleep. And obviously Siren games.
Grayson Brown
You uhhh What?
Ryder Gomez
Go actually play the game before posting and lurking in these threads, mate. You don't wanna spoil a thing for you of the SH games.
Michael Williams
I've played 1, 3, and The Room. I don't remember there being a Hospital.

I've got a feeling that the only way Team Silent will be able to make a good game again is if they all leave Konami and form their own company, the problem is that they would need to get funding but that's next to impossible since Konami isn't afraid to use Yakuza tier tactics to stop former employees from being successful, keep in mind that Konami threatened legal action against former employees who put their time at Konami on their resume and even got Kojima Productions blacklisted from health insurance companies

>I've played 1 >I don't remember there being a Hospital. You might have amnesia, m8.
Benjamin Collins
You literally visit a hospital in practically ALL Silent Hill games. No sane person could just forget them.
Time to replay the series from the very beginning, I'd say? And play the SH2 as well while at it.
Cooper Rodriguez
>I've got a feeling that the only way Team Silent will be able to make a good game again is if they all leave Konami and form their own company They don't need to "leave" anything anymore. They were all kicked out a decade ago! The few "lucky" ones who remained in Konami, under Kojima Production's protecting wings, also met their demise couple years ago, when the history repeated itself.
Most of ex-TS members have been freelancers and such ever since.
Christopher Jones
I haven't played that game yet. I don't like running around being chased by monsters I couldn't even look at.
Liam Evans
>I've played 1 >I haven't played that game yet You most definitely have issues. You don't even remember what your said in your previous post.
John Howard
but who was the phone????????
Brandon Flores
...you just LITERALLY said you played 1,3 and 4. Try to make up your mind, or go see a doctor, ASAP.
Plus, you don't fucking play SH3 without finishing SH1. You just don't.
it could work, like two partners in crime take refuge in Silent Hill and the town starts tormenting them by manipulating and manifesting their inner demons in real life they could, for example, get separated but still be next to each other because the town is playing tricks on them one problem with this concept would be the switch between the characters, it has to be natural and subtle (i.e not press X to switch character), maybe different chapters?
