Q: How is the Silent Hill HD Collection version of Silent Hill 3?Ī: It is an absolute disaster, worse than SH2 HD, and I highly advise against playing it as your first experience as it may do permanent damage to your perception of an otherwise very well-built game. First came the original PS2 release in all regions, then the PC port and then much later the HD remaster in the HD Collection for PS3 and Xbox 360. Q: How many versions are there of Silent Hill 3?Ī: As of 2019 there are three. Q: I heard that you get the Official Soundtrack with SH3 in North America, is this true?Ī: Yes, something exclusively for North America. Q: In Europe does it come with the Making of SH3 DVD with the game like SH2? These are in the game-specific post.Q: Why did Europe get it so much earlier than the rest?Ī: Who knows. I have also made some Custom steam icons for those who want shortcuts into their Steam library. Refer to this post for examples.Ĭustom Steam Icons for use at your leisure higher resolution than 480p) will cause several glitches, such as missing shadows, unplayable FMVs, and other bugs. However, be aware that emulating them through hardware emulation (i.e. So far I've only seen FOV hacks for SH2 and SH3 for PAL and NTSC versions, while the Japanese version have FOV hacks for all three PS2 games. The hacks have to be placed in the cheats folder and you have to remember to Enable Cheats in PCSX2 in order for the FOV hack to work. Differences between the PS2 and PC versionsĪlternatively, if one is completely deterred by the complexities below and lack of port quality from PS2 to PC, then it is also possible to emulate the PS2 versions through PCSX2 and use the FOV hacks, depending on your region. If you have any corrections or suggestions, I'll add them whenever I have the time to do so. I will go through each game in 3 posts below the OP, in order to make the instructions more readable. The games are handled differently in how to get a proper non-4:3 aspect with whatever resolution you want. However, you might get lucky and get a copy of either game for a lower price. This is a shame, as the used copies goes around anything between $20 to $120 on Ebay or Amazon, depending on the quality. Unfortunately Konami lack many standard brain functions and haven't released the PC versions of the games through digital distribution (I could imagine Konami don't want the potential licensing and royalty issues of the voice actors once again by re-releasing the PC versions). Where to get these excellent Team Silent games on PC? Special thanks go out to all the excellent people who did the various Widescreen hacks, FOV values, and so on (Angular graphics for sh2 fix+corrected fmvs, nemesis2000 for the SH4 fix, emoose for SH2proxy, Squizzy for the original SH2 fix, Rope, whoever made the SH3 FOV tool, etc.). As such, this is also an attempt at preserving some of the best games of the medium's history. Thus, I figured I might as well make a thread as a guide to it, especially when one considers the fact that Konami has completely mishandled the console HD collection with the inexcusable bugs and abhorrent changes to the original material. So I regularly get contacted through PM's or specific threads about how to get the Silent Hill 2, 3, and 4 running on a PC with widescreen and a less amount bugs.
