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 too

No thanks saar
>>
>>736643475
cool, 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.
>>
>>736643475
Why? Bloober team is currently working on a superior remake.
>>
>>736643475
thanks
just reported this to konami
maybe you will learn to keep your mouth shut
>>
>>736643603
AI is fine here. A non-programmer wouldn't be able to do anything like this even with AI. Plus, it's just a port.
>>
>>736643475
This 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.
>>
>>736643752
I 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

???
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?
>>
>>736643908
There are official pc ports of 2 and 3 and konami is refusing to sell them.
>>
>>736644070
Correct. Do it right or don't bother, no slopping it up with generative shit.
>>
>>736644210
have you ever played a PC port before?

fixing any issues playing above 30 fps
>inb4 muh authenticity
30fps was always dogshit and is objectively not enough for a video game
>>
>>736644358
Yes and they're always worse than simply emulating the thing.
>>
for what purpose?
>>
>>736644210
There 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

PC port can fix these + open the doors for actual modding

lol, 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.

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.
>>
>>736643475
When are these retards going to get a clue and just train AI to do this? IT'S WHAT IT'S FOR.
>>
>>736645116
On 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.

this.
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.

b-b-b-b-but everybody must be tech illiterate and retarded like me, jsut emulate bro

this also you can play it with DLSS5

bruh imagine playing some ancient ahh game from like 2022 uncs finna lost their minds lmfao fr

Emulation has inherent limitations, including but not limited to input lag and higher hardware requirements.
>>
>>736643738
unironically 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?
>>
>>736643475
I don't mind people using AI to make these ports
I think it is a great thing to be able to do things like this
I 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
>>
>>736645397
Can't you read? They're made through AIslop
>>
>>736645160
This but for devs in general now, not just Konami.

I 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...
>>
>>736644368
Here is me playing 30 fps fine. This why gaming sucks because you faggots are to focus on FPS.
>>
>>736645103
Half these won't even happen

>>736643475
meh what's even the point of projects like this?
i already watched countless speedruns and video essays about the entire series
spend your time on something new
>>
>>736645864
it's ai, none of these are going to happen
>>
>>736643475
Shit 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.

These 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+.

Do 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.
>>
>>736649627
Lol shut the fuck up. Don't complain if you yourself can't produce anything of value, even with AI.
>>
>>736645103
Not to mention modding capabilities. If that actually takes off to any degree is another question, but SoH got a lot of mods.

Until then, we'll always have AutismStation (DuckStation).

Blame 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.
>>
>>736651257
arent 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 intact

i 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

>>736644459
Thanks 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.
>>
>>736643753
A 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

Native game = free modding and easy enhancements.

>>736645397
Some 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 fog
we're all gonna make it
