And in case someone's once again new to this PC gaming stuff: Use a program like DaemonTools Lite to 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" works as a no-cd crack as well, and is included in the pack.

You know for a Survival horror game, Silent Hill 2 is very generous with the ammo.

SH2 was always the easiest and least spooky of the original SH-games. It's a much more story and character-driven game.
One of the reasons I still prefer SH1 over it.
But don't get me wrong, I love SH2 to bits too.

>>321552321
Now go watch the real silent hill experience on youtube and learn about everything you missed, you won't regret it.
>>321552321
hope you played SH1 before it.
>>321552569
I'd really recommend playing SH1-3 before watching their videos. Preferably 4 too.
>>321552569
Will do anon, thanks.
Is SH3 connected to 2 in any way? I didn't play 1.
>>321552872
No, 3 only connects to 1. SH2 was just the story of james, the only thing that ever gets referenced afterwards in the series is pyramid head.
>>321547020
The PC ports are shit and emulation is better.
>>321553015
Or just bust out the old PS2.
>>321552997
Can I just dive into 3 or is 1 recommended first?
>>321553119
Why did you start with anything other than 1 in the first place you idiot?
>>321552872
>>321553119
SH3 is almost a direct sequel to SH1, so you better play in release order.
Plus SH1 is the best game in series, and the most important chapter in the whole lore.
>>321553015
Wrong. PS2 emulation requires A LOT more CPU power than the 12+ yo PC ports. And with the fixes (mostly needed with 2), they work fucking fine on modern systems, even at 4k.
>>321547239
Play on hard mode or you're doing it wrong.
>>321553245
I was looking for a new horror game and a friend said 2 was his GOAT, so I gave it a shot.
>>321553249
Emulation doesn't require third party fixes in order to work properly and they all ran fine for me.
>>321553492
2 is an alright starting spot since it isn't connected to 1. But you should've played 1 before 3.
>>321553119
no, you really can not dive into SH3 without finishing SH1 first, preferably with one of the "good" endings as well. In general, the release order works the best with this series.
>>321547393
It's still a game, dumbass. Your point is completely invalid.
>>321553557
>>321553627
Alright I'll play 1 first then.
Thanks anons.
>>321553537
emulation, especially PS2 emulation, requires very specific tweaks for the games to work and look right, and even then you need that 4Ghz CPU for the best results.
So, are you seriously implying that dragging & dropping ONE file to game's root is too demanding and difficult for you? Especially when you only need to do it with SH2.
>>321553557
>2 is an alright starting spot since it isn't connected to 1.
That's not exactly true though. The SH2 is a direct result of SH1's events. It just has an all new cast.
>>321553884
Finally, a good choice!
Here's the good ol' recommended settings for it, if you plan to emulate it. You can also buy it from PSN Store for few bucks.
>>321553945
>emulation, especially PS2 emulation, requires very specific tweaks for the games to work and look right
The only "very specific" tweak I had to do while emulating any Silent Hill game was to use DX9 in SH3, and even after that it ran well enough on my 3+ year old CPU, so I have no idea what you're on about.
Sounds more to me like you actually have no real experience attempting to emulate these games and are just reciting what you were told, either that or your machine is a literal toaster.
Reminder.
>Homecoming was suppose to a trilogy
>Old characters like Heather, Henry, and Laura(who was Elle) were suppose to return

>>321554298
SH2-4's PC ports would run on ANY Windows PC or laptop made in the past 10 years, at HD resolutions at that. No tweaking or mods needed, SH2 being the only minor exception since it doesn't cope well with multicore CPUs without a manual tweak or the sh2proxy fix.
I've played these games for a good 16 years on numerous platforms, emulation included. My PC ain't exactly a toaster, but not a hi-end rig either anymore (i5 2500 + 8GB + 560ti).

>Gameplay isn't important in SH2
That depends on what you mean by "gameplay". There's not much fun to be found through engaging in the combat. The puzzles can be decent, though most of them basically boil down to exploring an area to find all the key items necessary for progress. It's similar to an adventure game, in that respect.
Exploration feels great though, given how much the game hits it out of the park with its presentation.
I agree that you usually have more than enough supplies if you're being thorough with your exploration, but I never felt so over-stocked to the point of trivializing the decision to fire a gun or engage an enemy without necessity.
remember that time in the hotel
you said we took everything
but you forgot that video tape we made
i wonder if it's still there
>>321554867
480p is already double the original resolution, yet keeps the polygon wobbling at minimum
>playing at widescreen resolutions
enjoy your BUTCHERED GRAPHICS and glitches.
>>321555321
I've been emulating PS1 games for ages and never experienced any "butchered graphics" or glitches resulting from playing at a widescreen resolution, nigger.
This problem is more widely affected by PS2 games.
>>321555542
SH1 has numerous issues in widescreen. The most apparent glitch being the Harry's flashlight floating off his chest as you move.
Also, unless you use the GTE Hack version of OpenGL2, the PS1's trademark polygonal jiggling gets worse and worse as you increase the resolution.
>>321552070

>>321555270

>>321553731
It's not a game, it's an interactive novel.
>>321555892
>covered
Hah!
>>321555825
I have yet to notice anything game breaking while emulating any game with these settings. Also polygonal jiggling will always be there, just far less noticeable at lower resolutions and the trade-off is far worth it regardless.
>>321554980
Wheres downpour? I thought downpour was "Muh daughter" for Murphy + "Muh father" for whatever her name was.
>>321546261
MUHRIA
COME OVA HERE!
>>321556556
I'm pretty sure Murphy had a son, not a daughter.
Also, his deal with a bit more complicated than just mourning the death of his son. That was definitely part of it, but it was also learning to deal with the rage he felt towards his son's killer, and the guilt he had for allowing that rage to ruin his life.
>I got a letter. The name on the envelope said, Tom Hulett.
>>321556556
Most of Downpour was pretty much Murphy crying over his dead, molested son.
>>321556987
Oh, it's Mr. Blame The Cihi.
>>321556217
GTE accuracy hack almost eliminates it, especially if combined with lower resolution.
also christ, lower that brightness! And can you really live with that stretched image?
>>321556217
Looks great.
>>321557709
It never bothered me, senpai. Can you really live with that retarded pixelation filter?
>>321558186
>pixelation filter
it's called "dithering", and I've worked hard to restore it back to the emulation, without having having to use software plugin and deal with 240p.
pic related is pretty much how I play SH1.

SH3 is better on the PC if you can ignore how much better it is with a controller, but SH2 is much better emulated. Widescreen patches work automatically with it once you enable them and it has the best fog. Opening up the menu in the PC version always took an abnormally long amount of time, it runs perfectly emulated.
>>321559552
>SH3 is better on the PC if you can ignore how much better it is with a controller
So, use a controller! I play these with KB only just fine myself.
>but SH2 is much better emulated. Widescreen patches work automatically with it once you enable them and it has the best fog.
The fog difference is quite minor, and PC port has better lighting. Also once you apply the widescreen tweak via sh2proxy, it sticks to it until you change it.
>Opening up the menu in the PC version always took an abnormally long amount of time
that was with the old, now obsolete widescreen hacks. The sh2proxy fixes that thing as well.
>>321560238
>So, use a controller!
That's the problem. The PC versions don't support gamepads natively.
>>321561312
Oh, they do. Hell, they even got gamepad control bindings in the options BY DEFAULT!
But I guess you meant that they do not support the modern Xinput gamepads (x360 controllers) natively. They do work, but you either gotta re-bind all keys again to match the button layout, or use some xpadder-kind tools.
If you got an older type, Directinput controller, they work just fine. Logitech even makes pads with a switch to swap between Direct- and Xinput modes.
>>321561615
>they even got gamepad control bindings in the options BY DEFAULT!
True.
>>321561615
>They do work, but you either gotta use some xpadder-kind tools.
Or you can simply emulate it and have everything you need to start playing properly out of the box and not have to download a single thing other than the game itself.
You're trying way too hard here, buddy. The minimal performance upgrades are not the extra time and effort in making the PC ports work properly.
>>321552070
The implication that what heather is seeing is not what everyone else sees. A lot of people have thought this means she has been killing actual people and not monsters.
Or it could mean that members of the orders don't see them as monsters but see them as angels.
