Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
W10's own virtual disc app may not work. If so, try programs like Daemon Tools v4.
Also don't install under "C:Program Files" ! This will cause issues.
For SH2, follow the instructions on the Enhanced Edition homepage to the T, and you should be fine.
The "Enhanced .EXE" is also the no-CD crack.
For SH3 & 4, check the Guide or PC Gaming Wiki.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
I recommend the DuckStation, which is modern and easy to use, but most emulators work OK as well.
>Protips
-Play in the release order.
-Start with Normal difficulty.
-There's TONS of replay value, so replay them all.
-Turn down the ingame Brightness setting, for better gamma & colors!
-Don't try to kill everything that moves, especially outdoors. Leg it, or sneak!
-Turning OFF the flashlight can really help w/ stealth!
>Silent town released installer friday which will do all the modding work for you now
Nice!
Gotta update the SH PC Guide soon then.
Probably clean it up a bit, might even start using a new format.

Also obviously playing SH1 first is highly recommended.

Nobody lives in the fog world. It's an alternate dimension. Only those who have a reason to be there find themselves within it. In the first three games, it's a handful of characters which are functional to the story, not random people that used to live in Silent Hill. There is no cult living and having a stronghold in the fog world. There are no organized groups of survivors trapped within it and larping as The Walking Dead characters.

There are three dimensions, or realities, or planes of existence, call them whatever you want. The real world, which is basically never seen in the games, except for a few moments at the beginning of SH3. The fog world, which is the setting where most of the games take place, which is a sort of "purgatory" where the fears and fricked up traumas of those that are "called to" or involved with Silent Hill manifest themselves mainly as monsters. The Fog World then shifts into the Otherworld, which is basically a living nightmare.

No. Alessa warps reality and turn the city into the fog, when shit gets out of control it get nightmared.
Think of it as if Alessa was Wanda and Silent Hill as Westview, maybe your zoomer brain can understand
SH1 and RE1 to me are the posterchildren of games that have aged poorly. I'm certain that back when they came out they were peak horror, but when replaying them nowadays its just hilariously outdated and not spooky in the slightest. The music and ambience are still good (aided by the weird PS1 texture wiggling and stilted VA work), but otherwise I didn't find it all that great when I played it last Halloween.
People who put it above SH2 or SH3 are either being massive contrarians, blinded by nostalgia or know something that I don't because imo the two SH games after the original absolutely shit on it.
>SH1 and RE1 to me are the posterchildren of games that have aged poorly.
I literally played both almost back to back for the very first time last year. They have aged tremendously well, and I was hooked the whole time.
>People who put it above SH2 or SH3 are either being massive contrarians
Nope. Both games just nailed it the first time.
The sequels might have introduced some QOL improvements, but they greatly nerfed everything else, especially world-design, exploration aspects, and replay value.
Believe me kid, I used to have this hardcore SH2 phase in my teenage years, but the more I played the games in general, the more I realized that SH1 > all the rest.
-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 frick, full of mindfrick parts as well
-Great visual design, full of small details.
-Awesome soundtrack and audiowork in general.
Same thing applies to Resident Evil.
The good ol' semi-nonlinear "Metroidvania" style world design with alternative routes and endings were killed off instantly after the original. Even the fancy pants REmake streamlined things a ton, making replays less fun and varied.
>or know something that I don't
Yeah, they actually played the game. SH1 enemies are considerably more aggressive than SH2/3 enemies. God help new players that don't understand the flashlight dynamic.
I have many times already. I would love to play a version of it that upgrades the gameplay to make everything a lot tighter/better. If it controlled and was as fluid as SH2 for example, the game would be even better.

It would be really cool to see SH2 or SH3 demake with PS1 graphics. SH1 has a style about it unmatched by all other games. Seeing Pyramid Head with PS1 visuals would be pretty spooky.
it sucks, so no
I've already played it a good ~50 times, but I will revisit it again around Halloween.
Shut up b***h Black person, it's one of the greatest horror games ever made, and the best SH.
same
did a month ago, so I'm good for the time being
i've never played it but i've been spoilered up the ass anyways
Go play it, dammit

Could you drop a link?
Never played SH but I was thinking about doing it yesterday.

Note that you still need to provide your own game, in which case
are handy.

I'm not fiddling with an emulator. I'd rather refresh the catalog and hope to see a porn thread
>is still the best SH
How did they do it?
Passion and skills.
No.
Why does Ganker love Homecoming threads so much?
Homecoming was a steaming pile of shit.

And haven't people lived in "normal" SH since the first game?

No. There are no "dimensions" in SH games.
There are three dimensions, or realities, or planes of existence, call them whatever you want. The real world, which is basically never seen in the games, except for a few moments at the beginning of SH3. The fog world, which is the setting where most of the games take place, which is a sort of "purgatory" where the fears and fricked up traumas of those that are "called to" or involved with Silent Hill manifest themselves mainly as monsters.

You are talking shit because I sure don't care for that game.
Just finished playing SH1 for the first time. It was pretty good, but not a masterpiece.

Reddit Hill 2 is a massive downgrade from SH1
and only a zoomer redditor who watches e-celebs jerking off to Reddit Hill 2 will disagree

I did last month or so. Top tier survival horror.

No.
Every time I've played that fricking game the girl I was dating called me up and broke up with me. I'm not touching it.
