Problems with Silent Hill on PS3

Posted: 21 Dec 2006

I decided to try playing Silent Hill on my PS3, if for nothing but the freedom of a decent wireless controller. Much to my dismay there is a big problem with the game on PS3. The first time I fired the handgun, this very loud and annoying buzzing sound started which does not go away until you switch areas. This makes the game totally unplayable. Makes me sad. :(

You probably need to download the newest updates for PS3 thru network updates. They will make fixes to the emulator/firmware etc as time goes on.

Wow, I kinda wondered what would happen if you put a PS1 game on a PS3 console...Did anything else happen?

yep Ive heard about all these problems with PSX games on PS3 - it sad indeed. Like screen is wiped or isn't stretched properly or in 1080i black color turns out to be gray etc crap// Prehaps patches are going to fix them but somehow I wouldn't expect it since basic stuff shuld already be done. + consider yourself lucky that you didn't meet the regional issues becuse they are still present even though PS3 games itself doesn't not have'em

The system just came out. I said over time. They'll make fixes as time goes on. They kept updating the PS2 all the way til the PS3 came out. It's a non-stop process of working out bugs. First releases of systems are always the buggiest.

Why are the next-gen consoles always so shitty when they're brand-new?

Not sure, but I feel bad for all the people who risked gunshot wounds to buy one. I won't be looking for a PS3 until a game that I want is released on it.

^ Likewise. Although I'll have to pay off this laptop first, so hopefully they'll wait on some games to keep my drooling at bay. :p

Once reports come in that certain games aren't playing right, patches will probably be made to download for specific titles.

Yeah, I'll probably stick to a PS2... but I'll be heart-broken if they put Silent Hill 5 on the PS3, but not the XBox 360.

The XBox 360 wouldn't even let me play SH 2 and 4 when I got it. I don't even know if they have added those games on...

Yeah, that's what I plan on doing. No sense in fighting other shoppers and paying ridiculously high prices for a system when there's no game I want for it yet.

I feel sorry for US PS3 users, they're like beta testers for European release.

You know, there's 2 generations of hard- and software between PS one and PS3, so I can bear these litlle glitches that ocurs on some older games (read: PSX games). IT would be much worse if the new games wouldn't work or the new hardware would bug.

So it's better to unwrap your old PSX than whine about PS3, that wasn't desingned for PSX games

Then just pop it into your Ps2 X.x
Easy fix, eh?

My intention wasn't to whine about it, sure I have a PS1 and a PS2 I could play it in, I was merely reporting it. I've transfered all of my PS1 and PS2 saves to my PS3, doing this it could be a one-stop PS gaming machine, and I could save space by only having my PS3 out.
