Which part of Silent Hill is best, /v/?
>>344800964
I haven't played SH in awhile, which part of SH does 1 take place in, I know the map you posted is from SH2.
>>344800964
The hospital. I think it's a location we don't see at all, do we? I feel like we haven't seen a single hospital in Silent Hill at all.
The hospital and the historical society for sure.
>>344801263
SH1 is a different map.
All the streets are author names in SH1 btw.
>>344801263
Top left and the part with Riverside Motel and the sanitarium is from Origins.
>>344801349
is that a joke
>>344800964
My House
I've only played 2 and it was fucking great. Should I play 1 or 3 next?
>>344802210
Play 1 before 3 for sure
Best way to play is PGXP

3 is a direct sequel to 1, so play 1 first. They're both fucking awesome, you're in for a good time.
>>344802210
3 is a continuation of 1 so play 1 before 3

Oops, meant to quote. My bad.
>>344800964
Lakeview hotel must be really pretty without all the fog and the sexual mentally projected monsters.
>>344801782
Obviously. Half of Silent Hill 2 is in the fucking hospital

>>344802392
Thanks! I currently own only 2&3 so guess I'll have to play 1 on emulator ;_;
>>344801263
only bottom left and Lake View Hotel are from SH2, top area is from SH1, not clue where bottom right is from, maybe Downpout
>>344802665
could get the ps1 version on the triple if you have one
>>344800964
The Old Silent Hill, AKA the SH1's starting section.

You should play the games in release order, duh!

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.
>>344803273
here's the recommended emulator settings for SH1. Works great on all other games too.
The plugins used are:
Pete's OpenGL 1.78; has more options & better performance than 2.x versions.
Eternal's SPU Engine.
alternatively just use a software renderer for very 1:1 PS1-like graphics, including 240p only.
...OR just buy the game from PSN Store for few bucks.

Rampart is a fun game, why haven't they remade Rampart in HD?

Lake View Hotel after watching the tape in SH2
>>344802569
>Lakeview hotel must be really pretty without all the fog and the sexual mentally projected monsters.
As of 2 it was burned down. By the time of 3, it would either be torn down or rebuilt as something else.
>>344803376
>epsxe
No, the new hotness is pgxp, because it has anti-jitter, and texture perspective correction. It's not perfect, since it lacks dithering, but it's pretty good.
I was really annoyed that 3 mostly just re-visited the areas of 2. That was kind of a rip off. I wanted to either visit the areas from 1 or new areas.
>>344804813
>No, the new hotness is pgxp, because it has anti-jitter
latest ePSXe has been capable of that for ages. Didn't know there was a perspective correction hack out already, but if it's connected to the tweaked Pete's OpenGL2, then I bet it does / will run on ePSXe too.
And yeah, the lack of dithering just ruins tons of visual appeal and style in SH1, and widescreen literally breaks some graphical effects.
>>344803571
There was a import to PS3, not sure if it were HD though
>>344804716
The hotel never gets burned down; you must be mistaken from the Angela scene where she dies, but that's her own projection.
>>344804973
No, it does not run on epsxe. Only pgxp, an enhanced version of pcsx-r. Texture perspective correction makes a MASSIVE difference in PS1 games.
>>344805241
is the emu stable tho'?
PCSX-R was laggy, crashy and glitchy as fuck for me all the time.

The hotel burned down. The wet ruins you visit is the real place.

The roof where you confront Maria is real too.

>is the emu stable tho'?
yeah
Just started playing SH4 today, 4 hrs in already. What went wrong? Locations are uninspired and the haunted house gimmick isn't that good.
I wish some Silent Hill fans made some kind of interactable, remade Silent Hill not infested with monsters and all that weird shit in Source or Unity or something.

SH1 took place on the North part on the map. Elementary school is there in the north part of town. SH2 was in the NE part since theres a harbor there and you go to it.
SH3 was in the south part but the game itself was rather linear since you go to the next area after completing the one you are at instead of leaving the place and explore around town to reach the next location.
>>344810154
>SH2 was in the NE
I meant Sh2 was in the SE part.
