Using the 99.88% completed decompilation as a base, there are several groups now working on different PC ports of Silent Hill 1.This project using Claude AI is making good progress but there are other non-AI projects in development by different groups toohttps://youtu.be/vbrs9g_xdD0
>AINo thanks saar
>>736643475cool, I love these little projects. they free the vest era of gaming from the claws of time. even better that the devs can't touch this shit
Fun fact, the guy who is working on the decompilation of Silent Hill (not this gay-ass AIslop port that will probably have numerous problems) is also the same guy who revived Outrun 2006 via Tweaks.
>>736643475Why? Bloober team is currently working on a superior remake.
>>736643475thanksjust reported this to konamimaybe you will learn to keep your mouth shut
>>736643603AI is fine here. A non-programmer wouldn't be able to do anything like this even with AI. Plus, it's just a port.
>>736643475This confirms AI is one of the reasons why we're getting so many source code ports.I literally brought up this very idea around 2012 and I was laughed out of the room. "Do you have any idea how much work you're asking people to do?"Now flash forward 14 years and people are pulling source decompilations out of their assholes left and right.
>>736643752I wouldnt be surprised if Konami in collaboration with GOG have been talking to one of these decompilation port teams to organize an official saleable PC port. GOG have been publicizing the demand for a SH1 port for the last few years and it semi-trends on the internet every time they mention it
>>736643603>literally free source port>uhhhh no you have to make it by hand
>>736644070muh water
>>736643475>Silent Hill 1 PC Port???Literally what is the point when you can emulate the original on a pocket calculator now?
So what makes this better than the PS1 version?
>>736643908There are official pc ports of 2 and 3 and konami is refusing to sell them.
>>736644070Correct. Do it right or don't bother, no slopping it up with generative shit.
>>736644210have you ever played a PC port before?
>>736644210>>736644220fixing any issues playing above 30 fps>inb4 muh authenticity30fps was always dogshit and is objectively not enough for a video game
>>736644358Yes and they're always worse than simply emulating the thing.
for what purpose?
>>736644210There are major issues with the emulated version when you uncap the framerate over 30 and enable widescreen>crashing>you do double damage to enemies and enemies do double damage to you>infinitely looping sounds and crackling sounds>etcPC port can fix these + open the doors for actual modding
>>736643738>working on a superior remake.>superiorlol, you're baiting for (you)s arent you. I mean, i fucking hope they do, but it's a coin toss at this point. If SH1 remake turns out garbage im gonna be sooo fucking pissed cause Townfall is already gonna be absolute trash.
>>736644245>refusing to sell themThey're on GOG and dirt cheap
>>736644383banjo recompiled literally just came out a few months ago and it completely mogs every other version of the game that ever existed
>>736644490there's only Silent Hill 4 on GOG, for some reason
>>736644490youre retaded, silent hill 4 is the only one on GOG. 2 and 3 arent.
>>736643475
>>736645021Ancient ritual.Every game must be playable on PC eventually.
>>736645021>60fps>customizable controls>camera options>increased draw distance>internal resolution options>aspect ratio options>slowdown removal>bugfixes>enhanced lighting options
Reminder, anons: the people who don't understand the purpose or potential of native PC ports for old games versus mere emulation, have just as much of a legal right to vote as you do.
>>736643475When are these retards going to get a clue and just train AI to do this? IT'S WHAT IT'S FOR.
>>736645116On top of all that, I see this as the fans taking over caretaking of the game. It's obvious Konami doesn't care about their old games, and have abandoned most of them. Here, the fans can create faithful source ports to preserve the game in the future.
saaarrr
>>736643753>>736644070>>736643703>>736643831>>736645121Post hands
>>736645084But it's already playable through emulation
>>736645103this.It's really fucking nice to have, you don't KNOW how awesome it is to have your favorite game ported to PC if you don't know what the big deal is.
>>736645103b-b-b-b-but everybody must be tech illiterate and retarded like me, jsut emulate bro
>>736645103this also you can play it with DLSS5
>>736645021bruh imagine playing some ancient ahh game from like 2022 uncs finna lost their minds lmfao fr
>>736645229Emulation has inherent limitations, including but not limited to input lag and higher hardware requirements.
>>736643738unironically this. after playing SH2 the people who try and claim it's a failure seems utterly delusional. I'm a long time fan and I can't wait to finally experience SH1 first hand.
Not that I'm complaining, but why is it only recently there seems to be an explosion of recomp/decomps?
>>736643475I don't mind people using AI to make these portsI think it is a great thing to be able to do things like thisI am concerned about these AI projects not being able to fix problems or add additional features since some of the people that attempt these aren't able to code at all
>>736645397Can't you read? They're made through AIslop
>>736645160This but for devs in general now, not just Konami.>Konami wants to pivot Silent Hill to appeal to REmake hypekiddies>Naughty Dog wants to make arthouse movies for art school dropouts to review>Nintendo wants to make Zelda for Ubithesda junk food addicts>Rareware wants to make fuckall
>>736645432I saw a thread with programmers bitching about how ai is making their jobs more difficult because of how it's fucking everything up and have compared ai bros to vermin.So I can't really assume good is being done with generative ai...
>>736644368Here is me playing 30 fps fine. This why gaming sucks because you faggots are to focus on FPS.
>>736645103Half these won't even happen
>>736643475meh what's even the point of projects like this?i already watched countless speedruns and video essays about the entire seriesspend your time on something new
>>736645864it's ai, none of these are going to happen
>>736643475Shit game that you can emulate already with widescreen and high res rendering. Stuff like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark makes sense since mouse control but this one doesn't.
>>736645193hands
>>736645103>>60fps>>slowdown removal>>bugfixesThese would be nice. I don't care about much else. The US version of SH1 is missing some content due to a bug and the EU/JP versions were censored. Getting proper fixes for those things would be nice.>>736645774>This why gaming sucks because you faggots are to focus on FPS.Lol no, people wanting more than 30 fps isn't why gaming sucks. I can still play 30 fps games but I don't know why you'd be against more. It still feels smoother and nicer to play at 60+.
>>736643475>Silent Hill 1 Enemy/Item/Room Randomizers will be possible one day and probably even one of the first mods releasedGOOD TIMELINE
>>736644350You don't get to decide lil bro. Either do it yourself or stfu, cappice?
>>736649303I never cared about Silent Hill in the first place anyways, I just don't want AIslop.
>>736649627i dunno why you'd be against ai reducing work. being against it for making art and content and shit i get but not this.
>>736644350Explain why using an LLM to reverse-engineer code is bad.
>>736644350Do you hear yourself. You're complaining about a free fan-made game. Not a single employed person cares if they used AI. In fact, if you think you could do better, then prove it - nobody is stopping you. But then again, we all know you're not capable of that. Retard.
>>736649627Lol shut the fuck up. Don't complain if you yourself can't produce anything of value, even with AI.
>>736645103Not to mention modding capabilities. If that actually takes off to any degree is another question, but SoH got a lot of mods.
>>736643475>Claude AIyou're brown
I just want the Ratchet and Clank trilogy on PC. Please decompiler autists.
>>736643603FPBP.Wake me when actual GENIUSES put the work in.Until then, we'll always have AutismStation (DuckStation).
>>736644070Correct.
>>736644245>>736644525Blame voice actors licenses. Konami had the rights, but some voice actress sued them to where they had to change shit up with the PC version anyway.I think Konami has cold-feet over it now.
>>736651257arent you talking about the PS3/360 HD ports of 2+3?2 and 3 PC ports were released in 2001 and 2003 alongside the PS2 versions and have the original voices intacti think the biggest issue with the new voices in the PS3/360 ports was that the voice actor for Douglas in SH3 had passed away and they couldnt get his permission to reuse his voice again. After fan complaints they did have an option in SH2 HD to re-enable the classic voices
>inb4 fucked up fog
>>736644459Thanks for the (YOU) but I'm not baiting. I grew up with the OG Silent Hill trilogy and Silent Hill 2R was far superior to the original. Sure Maria and Angela's design could have been better but that's a minor nitpick. I'm also very interested to see more of Townfall.
>>736643753A non-programmer should stay away from anything that actually requires knowledge of programming.
>>736654376>I grew up with the OG Silent Hill trilogy and Silent Hill 2R was far superior to the original. If you want to be a poser, try using less obvious bait.>I'm also very interested to see more of Townfall.OH NO NO NO NO
>>736643738Blooper vatnigs deserve to be roped and nuked by Putler.>>736644383They're NEVER worse, silly moron.>>736644390Native game = free modding and easy enhancements.>>736645397Some smartguy figured out a simple bruteforce way to turn old console code into PC compatible form, and now the method is practically automated.
>>736654376>Silent Hill 2R was far superior to the original.lol no.It's literally the exact same shit as TLOU and SH:Homocoming, slammed together.It's woke DEI shit, Unreal 5 slop, action trash, and completely rapes the art, the audio, the story, the characters, and the game's cinematography. It also stretches everything to take 4-5 times longer, and forces you to do TEN TIMES more fighting, in a Doom 2016 style combat rooms at that.
>Silent Hill on PC will finally have fogwe're all gonna make it
