For the doubters out there, my first game was Silent Hill 3 and I did not know it was in any way related to Silent Hill and did not feel there were any holes or otherwise incomplete parts of the story. Note: I highly recommend NOT setting * RestoreBetaSound = 1* . This was a sound effect that plays at the end of the game that both removes some ambiguity of one of the final scenes as well as begs further questions. It's existence is interesting, especially on later playthroughs, but is non-canon and can alter your understanding of the ending in a way that was not developer intended. It was removed from the final release for a reason.

Silent Hill had a huge impact and legacy on the survival horror genre since its release, showing what horror video games could be capable of. In its series, it has spawned seven more main installments, comics, two films, and more. It has also had a significant influence on horror and narrative-driven video games as a whole, showing the extent of how video game stories could have emotion, depth, complexity, and meaning. Notably, the game touches on themes such as family, religion, spirituality, grief, etc. The item menu's color is different depending on the game's difficulty setting. Green represents Easy, blue represents Normal, and purple represents Hard. The FMV cutscenes are stretched horizontally to appear as widescreen, which is more problematic than Silent Hill 3 because Silent Hill 2 is more FMV-heavy. The incorrect aspect ratio results in a slight "stretched" or "fat character" look. This one can either go swimmingly well or be very difficult. At the time of writing, Steam006 is actively updating their Fix and it may change how effective this guide is. I'll try to keep up on updates as they release. With recent announcement of Silent Hill 2's remake, Silent Hill f, and the others, I wanted to fully compile a way to play every Silent Hill game possible on PC with modern enhancements and maximum compatibility. I'll try to keep it simple and short so it'll be easily digestible even for the least computer-y of you out there.In a letter to Konami, Guy stated that it was not about the money but rather "the thoughtless way that those involved in the production have been treated" such as not notifying him of any re-releases and hiding his contributions in " The Making of Silent Hill 2" video. Guy also called for Konami to allow the original voices and give fans the option to choose between the original dub and the re-dub. [5] Guy's close connection with fans of the series played a strong part in his decisions regarding these issues. Monica Taylor Horgan supported giving fans an option as well. [6] Note: This is for the NTSC/North American release ONLY. I do not know the PAL/European or NTSC-J/Japanese code. I will update if I do. Available only on 2000's mobile devices. I don't know much about it, but this post goes into more detail on how to get it working. The Silent Hill HD Collection was in development for more than two years. The development team had to work with incomplete source code provided by Konami, as the published source code had not been archived. This consequently resulted in their having to fix technical issues both arising from porting the two games and those that the original development team had previously dealt with. An arrangement was eventually reached between the original voice actors of Silent Hill 2 and Konami to allow for an option to have the original voice acting present in Silent Hill 2 's port, although the Silent Hill 3 port does not have that option. Critics were divided over the Silent HD Collection, particularly in regards to its updated graphics and voice acting. Some enjoyed it as an updated presentation of two favorably regarded games, while others criticized the quality of the compilation, citing the technical issues. I'm also pretty active on Reddit and frequently answer questions and concerns over the particulars, weird snags, or oversights, so please leave a comment if you're having trouble. I'll do my best to keep this up-to-date and functional!

I also have a Patreon since I'm writing a visual novel and Silent Hill as a major influence on my writing. During Eddie's rant in the Labyrinth, when he says, "It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty...", the subtitles say "your" instead of "you're". [9] There has been some debate over which ending of Silent Hill is canon. While it is a fact that the Bad endings can not be canon as Heather Mason is not "born" in these endings, there has been debate whether or not Good+ can also be considered canon. The "If Looks Could Kill" achievement/trophy (received for obtaining Heather Beam) icon is an image of Heather in her Princess Heart costume.

While today's standards greatly date them, the graphics of Silent Hill were praised for its time, showcasing the power of the Sony PlayStation. Fog and darkness were heavily used to disguise the limitations (draw distance) of the hardware. Along with the grainy and pixelated textures, also from hardware limitations, most reviewers felt that these factors worked in the game's favor; IGN described it as "adding to the atmosphere of dilapidation and decay" and giving the game a "distorted" and "nitty gritty" feel. Ah, October. In many parts of the U.S. the leaves are turning, the air is getting cooler, people are putting up their Halloween decorations, and survival horror fans are looking for the perfect game to curl up with as darkness comes earlier and earlier. There are countless games to choose from, but one series has managed to ascend from a basic video game into something that permeates the collective conscious in a way few others have: Silent Hill. Homecoming had difficulties in passing censors in some countries before it could go on sale. The Australian classification board, the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC), refused to classify the game, due to "impact violence and excessive blood effects". [50] The objectionable scenes included various body parts being drilled into, as well as the bisection of a character by an enemy. [50] This had the effect of banning the game for sale in the country, and representatives for publisher Atari mentioned that they would be asking Konami to tone down the violence to allow the game to receive the needed MA15+ rating for its sale to be permitted in early 2009.
