Silent Hill: Homecoming Looks Great With This Custom ENBSeries Mod

DSOGaming writes: "Our reader ‘k-man’ sent us some screenshots of Silent Hill: Homecoming. k-man downsampled the game from a higher resolution, and used a custom ENBSeries mod, as well as a mod that removes the film grain."

how is this game btw?
ive heard its all about running and surviving.

0 killing is kinda offputting

tmv873926d ago

wrong game. you're thinking of shattered memories, which is not on pc, and therefore has nothing to do with this mod.

Wni03925d ago

Its ok. There is one awesome boss (the doll.) lots of crappy puzzles and pointless characters though.

ChipChipperson3925d ago

It's uhhhh... meh. It was somewhat fun on a first playthrough, but trying to play it a second time... the game gets pretty boring. Like Wni0 said, the puzzles are for babies, meaning they take zero effort to solve. A lot of players had a hard time with the combat. I personally didn't, BUT, the combat system implemented in Homecoming was terrible. In short, just stick with the first 4 Silent Hills and Origins(didn't have the greatest story, but for a PSP game it was pretty good for its time).

@vishmarx On lists that publications do of every Silent Hill game put in order or worst to best, this one takes the cake of the most terrible one by far every time.
Another ace Japanese game series lost to poo US developers. The story even steals directly from Silent Hill 2 with its twist at the end and even features creatures that are, again from SH2 that make no sense in this game as they are NOTHING to do with the main character.
The only redeemable thing is that Akira Yamaoka did the sound track before bailing from the series.
Every game that this studio has made since this game has been awful. The same team are set to destroy the Killer Instinct series forever with no prior fighting game development experience too.

This game is not that bad. Too bad the controls of the PC version basically render it unplayable.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26198d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake198d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69197d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26197d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

Pyramid Head is my #1 too, despite the fact you don't actually fight him much - and the few times you do are actually super easy. It's all in the presentation & close encounters.

Auron555d ago

Pyramid head? please.. whatever was in that silent hills trailer is #1

Gardenia555d ago

I never thought the monsters themselves were very scary. It was the tension and the unknown, the silent moments that got under your skin that were the most scary to me.
Silent Hill has always been about the psychological horror more than it's gore.

I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.

JayRyu674d ago

I would like El Shaddi, Afterburner Climax, and outrun 2 please. I am sure that there are other games as well but those came to mind for me right now.
