Unlike earlier survival horror games that focused on protagonists with combat training, the main character Harry Mason is an average man. The gameplay consists of combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. The controller vibration is used to indicate Harry's heartbeat and will vibrate on low health. The player must regularly enter an inventory screen to check Harry's health, use items, and equip different weapons.Show more

GOG would be the only modern platform to have the original Silent Hill available. Isn't that a good reason to bring back this cult classic? Apart from that, Konami doesn't seem to have interest in the original game, so it could be a good oportunity for GOG. Finger crossed!
There has never been any other version than the one for PSX. You can get it to run and look fine on DuckStation (even at 60FPS and unlocked, but gets jankier the higher the frame-rate), but it's still got some visual bugs/glitches, and a native x86-version will make it last forever and make modding possible. A no-brainer :P
But IF they make it happen, the US-version should be used, which was most-untouched by censorship, even in comparison to the JAP-version (not like GoG did with SH4, using the inferior and pointless EU-version. That's why I won't buy it, sadly). BUT then the bug of the missing newspaper-clipping - it was fixed in the EU/JAP version - has to be corrected, to make it kinda the "ultimate" version.
One of my favorite franchises, and it frustrates me how this game is still only playable with emulation, I played it on the PS3, and still think the experience could have been better, even though, it's still one of best horror games I've ever played. If Silent Hill gets a PC port, with more configuration, resolution support, etc., I will definitely get it.
I met this game when i was a kid, watching my dad playing it, and since then i never forgot it.
Silent Hill DESERVES to be brought on GOG.com because you can play it EXCLUSIVELY in 2 ways: owning a PSX (easy way) or emulating it (tricky way).
To get decent graphics you have to tweak a bit with its settings. There's no problem for some, but out there not everyone like to tweak, and watching a lot of tutorials in order to play an old retrogame could be frustrating for most people.
Now, surely isn't easy to port SH to pc, but if you do, you'll make happy a lot of SH fans, because this game is a true masterpiece of survival horror, that even after 20+ years can still scare (more than some modern games), and it's a shame that is so difficult to access to it.
First Silent Hill is hands down one of the most influential horror games of all time. It is a timeless classic, a masterpiece, and proof that hardware limitations are no limitation for talented people. Even 26 years later, it manages to be creepy and scary due to immaculate sound and art design.
Silent Hill has always been an important franchise to me and having them preserved in a way that truly keeps them alive is so important to me. Especially for SH1 which has been unavailable in any capacity for so long.
Silent Hill is one of my all-time favorite franchises. The only one that makes me feel both terrified and fascinated, it's a unique, incredible, and intriguing world, full of macabre stories and elements that will stay with me forever. The soundtrack is breathtaking and the memorable moments I experienced in this game will stay with me for a lifetime. Every corner of the city - school, hospital, hotel, sewers, and more - gives me a unique and terrifying feeling. It would be amazing to relive this experience by playing the native version and having a copy again.
Several things made it click for me. At that time the fear induced by this game was soo substancial. We played it on friends' PS and every one sat silent. I was literally scared to sleep after gameplay session. Tension, adult storyline and a great soundtrack made it stand out forever for me.
