4? I’m gonna assume 2 and 3 are also getting a re-release then.

Silent Hill 1-4 going to GoG as well would be amazing. Also, was Downpour ever released on PC? Absolute hidden gem for me but the PS3 port was fucking aweful. Worst framerate in history. Propper PC port would be neat.

Why 4? The least popular and least...good of the japanese SH games.

Downpour was never released on PC. Just like the first Silent Hill, so I guess only 2-4 (and maybe Homecoming) are eventually coming to GOG.

They ok but they ain’t no SH4! My bet is they want to celebrate the game’s 17th anniversary

How long has this game been locked to the PS2/Xbox? I remember an old PC port but I think it was botched, correct?

I played the whole game on PC back in the day and don't remember being bad.
I mean, wasn't really great. Basically have no stuff for PC gaming, but plays well

Mods are gunna be lit, hopefully. (complete texture overhaul, new high detail LOD’s, shaders and ray tracing etc.)
There are already mods for the existing pc version. Mouse support, HD res, unlocked framerate etc

While the order is questionable, I'm assuming we'll get all of the originals on PC. At least the ones that made it to PC that is, which I believe is all of them except the first one...

Omg yes! I'm so excited.
Possibly 4 because 1-3 are tied to their remasters licensing wise?

Does it support high resolutions? Does it have some kind of frame rate cap?

Says September 2004 for Windows.Good luck finding it for a good price. Silent Hill 3-4 are going to cost you around $40 or more and you can’t even trust the quality of the disc. I had the Xbox version of SH4 and I bought the PS2. It just needed a new case, but I got it for $40. Anymore, the prices increase over time.

I was wondering this as well. I'm glad to have it no doubt but IMO 2-3 were the best of the series. 4 would have been much better if they did make you go through the same areas over and over again towards the end.

Get an ISO from a torrent site and give it to GOG to fix for all I care! I hope they didn't but I have no issue accepting a bare bones port either. I just prefer a legal digital version but if none are available I will get whatever I can get.Didn't Konami lose the source code for 2 & 3?

It has always been on PC but just not digitally. If it runs the same as the CD version it will be fine.

Could 2 and 3 be released in theory? Wasn’t there some issue when making the HD release about music and/or voice acting? Royalties?

It was also the least "Silent Hill-ish".

Apparently it's the only one they still have the source code for.

I mean you don't get the full experience but you'll live obviously. Nothing changes when you go back to your apartment. Your apartment is supposed change as you progress through the game but it doesn't. The progression is ruined and will be boring but "you'll live."
It's becuase it was a good Japanese horror take. SH doesnt really matter in the name but the cult will always have intention to resurrect God. Which is Silent Hills actually main story. Walter was a victim of the cult and used to summon God.

Silent hill 4
The most LMAO and Funny of the saga
Its full of Memes
Walter Sullivan for me is one of the best antagonists of the silent hill franchise.
Henry is a laughing character.
Eileen the hottest chick character ....
The nurses burp is one of the funniest things in the game.
It's weird because ghost enemies and baby-headed monsters were disappointing. but it's still a good game.
This game is so good that even have ray tracing in this generation xD

Picked this up on GoG this morning when it was posted on another thread earlier. It is a superior port to the PC than the one that was botched. Yay for not having to mod to get cutscenes over 15FPS.
still excited to mod this game.

Personally, I never agreed with this view. SH4 had the best story in the series after 2, and it was BY FAR the scariest SH game ever made. Being trapped in an SH shaped by the mind of a serial killer and coming upon his murders right after they happened was wild. There's also all the hype around Walter that had been built up ever since he was mentioned in SH2.
SH4 should be experienced by every horror fan IMO. It was a psychological affair that was never hampered by the cult subplot that held back 1 and 3.

Walter Sullivan is fucking awesome… Indeed is one of the best antagonist of Silent Hill...

Never played this one, always looked extremely janky from the videos I saw. Is it really?
Are the cutscenes at 30fps?
Also more importantly is the game itself running at 60fps? Would be huge if it is as that's got normally game breaking bugs.
