does it fix the ridiculous amount of crashes and the fact sound is louder at one left and far quieter on the second?
I don’t remember these issues back then, must have been lucky
For some reason, this game isn’t available in many countries on Steam…
I finally played it one month ago, I may finish it one day.
I liked this game when it came out but god this PC port was bad. It’s a shame that this is the only Silent hill game on steam 🙁
The download says that a virus was detected for me…
Konami should have re-port or remaster all silent Hill title and put it on steam…but considering Konami nowadays,that’s just impossible dream..
Sadly konami mostly made it for the money and didn’t let it evolve like other survival horror games such as Resi 🙁
Considering the remaster of SH2 and 3 was mediocre on previous gen, best not to bother
TBF there’s already a decent port of SH3 on PC. Quite why Konami refuse to put it on Steam is beyond me.
Silent Hill 2 was noticibly improved in the remaster, SH3, not so much…
>Silent Hill 2 was noticibly improved in the remaster
Eh? What universe do you come from?
I admit the fog is too much, its like the level designer had a fight with the atmosphere designer and the atmosphere designer was like “oh yeah? well i am gonna hide the buildings you made with my fog, hahahahh”
But yeah the remaster has too little fog, you can see how fake everything is.
You got that the other way around. SH3′ remaster was pretty great and very well done.
With Silent Hill 2’s remaster the devs didn’t have a 100% final build of the game to work with for the remaster and had to fill in the blanks themselves with utterly pathetic results such as the terrible fog. The variable frame rate was atrocious too.
They let incompetent company handle the remaster…they should give it to Bluepoint or other competent dev
since the other guy said the SH3 port is decent id like everyone to know there is a emulated version for the first psx game that is like a port, it even has graphics options and control mapping.
It would basically mean free money for them, people would buy the sh*t out of those games. But I guess Konami gonna Konami.
Good job by the modder but shame on the developer that this mod was even needed.
Good stuff, maybe i’ll play it later
I don’t remember these issues back then, must have been lucky
Wow talk about doing gods work that guy should be paid by konami because he just may have made the game worth buying on sale. I bought it a few sales ago and it was awful if you played above 720p the map was just broken so either you play at a blurry jagged mess or a broken map. 30 fps lock too, ill check it out again with this mod when it next goes 80% off
Thank you Steam006. Few days ago we get a fan PC PT made with real PT renders, and now a fan PC SHH improvement patch. Lotta love for these guys.
which fan game is this ” fan PC PT made with real PT renders”?
And still doesn’t look like that much of an impressive game when compared to 2001’s Silent Hill 2.
Looks like the site is down, any mirrors?
I can’t get on either.
There is a steam guide with working download links, just google the link
Chrome and Edge both say it has a virus and deleted the file.
it says unable to find files, maybe because it’s not Steam version? it should still work though, I put it in the Bin folder
what a game i just finished,love it !!!
