Silent Hill: Townfall (2026) Help me enjoy this game

7 Upvotes

I love survival horror but the stealth is just completely ruining this game for me. I can’t bring myself to keep playing and I haven’t even made it to the medical center yet because it feels like you’re forced to play that way, every time I’ve tried to play even a little more aggressive I get punished hard. The melee weapons don’t last for shit and when I use the gun I get jumped. Any suggestions?

Silent Hill (1999) who the hell is she?

0 Upvotes

I just finished the game, and in the credits/bloopers, characters and their names appear. What's confusing me is this scene. At the beginning of the game, they tell you that Harry's wife was sick, and since they show this woman with bandages, I assumed it was Jodie Mason. But then the game ends, and this woman is Alessa Gillespie? The little girl? But here she's older. I don't know if I've missed something or if I'm overthinking it.

Townfall is a solid survival horror game but the obstacles blocking pathways to other areas should be more believable! This is just one example I fixed.

General Discussion Is there anyone having problems finishing P.T on PC?

1 Upvotes

As basically everyone, I'm enjoying the P.T. Port on PC and I must congratulate with the one who worked on it, they really did a huge work, it's such a pleasure to play this demo again, after 12 years. However, I'm having problems solving the last enigma, specifically triggering the third laugh. To put it briefly, I use a microphone to trigger the second one, but the controller doesn't vibrate, and the third laugh never gets triggered.

At first I thought it was a bug that would be patched, but everywhere I look, it seems everyone is reaching the end of the demo and completing it. So, am I the only one who's having problems, or are there other people?

One theory I have is that, maybe, the reason I can't trigger the third laugh is because I'm using the microphone of a normal pair of earphones and not the original PS4 microphone. Could this be the reason?

I don't know who approved this but somehow, somewhere someone managed to slip the Roblox OOF into the soundtrack. This was not my edit. This is in the actual movie.

edit; Now that I've gotten off work, I can confirm that the Roblox OOF is at 41:11, exactly

Silent Hill: Townfall (2026) was townfall translated from a different language? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

there are certain dialogue lines that bug me, ones that pop up on the screen that are the characters thoughts.

the main one being when they get too close to the edge wall and say "i dont like to look at it." what does that mean? it sounds like it was written in japanese and then translated LITERALLY. im almost certain there's more. but i cant remember, so oh well.

edit: sorry to those SEVERELY angered by this question... jesus christ

General Discussion Novels based on the games

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I heard a lot about Silent Hill games, but unfortunately i don't really have the console or the pc requirements to play them. Only the Silent Hill 4, is playable for me and so far i love it.

I would like to ask if by reading the books based on them (for 1, 2 and 3) one can get the experience, thoughts and generally the phycological horror, Silent Hill gives you.

Any opinion is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Reference Anyone watch Ghost stories (2017)?

2 Upvotes

Just was recently rewatching it for the lead up to halloween and couldnt belive how much h it reminded me of silent hill. I dont want to spoil for those that havnt healed with it but it deals with themes of limbo, guilt and death. It also mentions at least 2 names from silent hill 2. If this movie was a silent hill game it would fit perfectly. I'm suprised I didnt see any connection between the two online already! What does anyone else think that has seen over and played silent hill 2?

Silent Hill 3 (2003) Replaying Silent Hill for spooky season.

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

I'm currently doing my annual playthrough of Silent Hill 1-3 for spooky season.

I just finished doing 2 re-plays of Silent Hill 1 on Next Fear mode and unlocked the katana for the first time. Aside from the Midwhich Elementary school levels and the Floatstinger boss battle, hard mode really wasnt that bad.

Just starting up Silent Hill 3 today. I always love seeing my old save file from over 22 years ago still on my memory card. It brings back alot of nostalgia. I had purchased a copy of SH3 at gamestop for around 25-30$ back then. Insane how much it goes for now.

I bought a copy the day before I was out of town getting a major foot surgery done. I was 15 years old at the time. When I got released from the hospital I was pretty much stuck on the couch all summer long recovering and playing video games.

I immediately opened my copy of SH3 and delved in. I fell in love with it instantly. I had only previously played Silent Hill 1, so the upgrade with the graphics was mind blowing back then. I still feel like this game visually holds up so well for being a 23 year old game. Easily one of the best looking games the PS2 ever had. Plus in my opinion the best monster designs, sound track, atmosphere re-playability and combat. I love how visceral Silent Hill 3 is.

I know Silent Hill 2 is always held in high regard to be the best in the series, and I love it as well, but for me it will always be Silent Hill 3.

Silent Hill 3 (2003) My first ever Silent Hill game is SH3 and I’m absolutely terrified

60 Upvotes

My experience with survival horror has mostly been through Resident Evil. I’ve never played a Silent Hill game in my life, but I decided to jump straight into Silent Hill 3 because its aesthetic, protagonist, atmosphere, and overall vibe appealed to me the most.
Holy shit, this game is terrifying.
I feel like a little kid who’s too scared to watch what’s happening on the TV. Every single step I take into a dark room feels like a threat to my mental health. I’m constantly dreading whatever might be waiting around the next corner, and I genuinely have to convince myself to keep moving forward.
The puzzles have also been a massive reality check. Not in a bad way, but I’m so used to modern Resident Evil games, especially RE4 Remake, and titles like Alan Wake 2, where they practically paint the solution yellow for you. Silent Hill 3 has been a serious wake-up call.
Like, HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIGURE OUT THAT I NEEDED TO MIX BLEACH AND DETERGENT IN A TRASH CAN TO GET RID OF AN INSECT NEST SO I COULD PROGRESS?
When was I supposed to think of using a pair of bread clips to fish keys out of a box?
And how the hell was I supposed to know that I needed to crack open a walnut with a pipe wrench and put whatever was inside into some creepy-ass door?
I’m genuinely amazed by how much the game expects you to figure out on your own. I keep staring at random objects, wondering what kind of unhinged combination the developers expect me to come up with next.
I’m currently in the basement area after leaving the subway, and this place is an absolute nightmare of a labyrinth. I’m getting lost, I’m crying, I’m scared to look at my screen, and every step forward feels like an act of pure psychological warfare.
Every checkpoint is a mira le sent from god. I stop playing every time I reach a checkpoint to keep my mind sane.
I’m having an absolutely miserable time. I fucking love it.
I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without playing a Silent Hill game. If the rest of the series is anything like this, I think I’m in for a hell of a ride.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who felt like a helpless little child playing this game for the first time.

Silent Hill: Townfall (2026) How in the world do you get the other endings? Spoiler

10 Upvotes

I just finished my third playthrough, each time I’ve gotten the abandoned ending. I even used a website that was suggested on a previous post to track my memos, Simon kills, Zoe mistakes, and IV refills.

Simon kills: it was at 17 by the time I made it to the Weight boss fight.

IV refills: 0, I lost the starting one and never refilled it, didn’t even craft one

Zoe mistakes: 0, beat that section fairly quickly too

Discoveries: 85, I even got the achievement

What in the world could I be missing?? I don’t care if I get forever, or justice, or even the other two I’m just tired of this same stupid ending.

Am I not allowed to kill things as Zoe? Is it that I picked up the axe as Simon? Maybe that I don’t have all the strange postcards? Genuinely, whatever it is I’ll do it, I’m just stumped

In my case, while playing SH1 for a third time, I started listen to Fleetwood Mac, specifically the album Mirage. I liked the combination so much that I played it in that way several times, and now, every time I hear it, I think of SH1.

Merchandise Looking for Gecco Heather Mason

Hey guys,

I’m trying to eventually add the original Silent Hill 3 Heather Mason statue by Gecco to my collection (complete with box).

The 1,000€+ prices on eBay are way out of reach. Does anyone know good Japanese proxy sites, reliable second-hand shops, or collector circles outside of eBay where this specific statue occasionally pops up for a more realistic market price?

Any advice or website recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Silent Hill 4 (2004) SH 4 headphone fix?

3 Upvotes

I used to play SH 4 a lot on my PS2 as a kid, so much the disc broke. So I grabbed a PC copy of GoG for my birthday and I gott ask, was the audio mixing always this bad? Or is this just a PC port issue? Is there a way to set it up for headphones so the music isn't always 20 times louder than everything else without just disabling the music?

Silent Hill 2 (2001) Huge fan looking for higher quality "Making of Silent Hill 2" to encode and preserve, any help please?

7 Upvotes

I'm working on a high-quality archival encode (10-bit HEVC, 50/60 FPS deinterlaced) of the Making of Silent Hill 2 documentary.

Unfortunately, the European PAL bonus DVD (authorized by Fun TV) is a technical mess: they duplicated the entire 32-minute video stream just to add hardcoded French subtitles, cutting the MPEG-2 bitrate in half to a weak ~4000 kbps (despite having GBs of empty space left on the disc).

I already processed this PAL source with bwdiff bob deinterlacing, custom Mod 16 cropping (752x576), and x265 psy-settings, but I would love to find a higher bitrate source (like the Japanese NTSC TDK DVD release or an uncompressed master) to truly preserve this masterpiece.

Does anyone have an ISO/VOB rip of the Japanese version or know if a higher bitrate master exists? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
