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. 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. As such, this is also an attempt at preserving some of the best games of the medium's history.
Silent Hill HD Collection is a good deal only for the new gaming generation that had no chance to play both games in the past. The PC releases look better in every scene! Look, I'm not a. Do yourself a favor and avoid the Silent Hill HD Collection at all costs.
Silent Hill 3:PC version allows for 4096x4096 internally rendered textures, but I imagine it is only a select few, as many of the textures still are identical to the PS2 version.Depth of Field effect remains at the original PS2 resolution, thus creating a jaggy DoF effect in the PC version.Otherwise it's probably the best port.Silent Hill 4:Cutscenes run @ 15 frames per second. So far I haven't encountered a solution to this problem.Post-processing filters, such as the noise-efect or the crackled hair on the camera when encountering a ghost, is missing from the PC version.Object-blur is bugged and thus creates a hazy look to cutscenesThese bugs are no longer relevant after nemesis2000's SH4 fix. Realtime shadows are pretty bad though.
