SH1 on PSN for PS3/PSP! But the disc STILL DOESN'T WORK!

Post by **Terminus** » 17 Sep 2009

I'd also like to know what version of the game this is before I purchase it. As Ravager asked, is this the version with grey, knife-wielding Mumblers(Uncensored) or the version with only the brown, three-clawed bearstrosities(Censored)?

*Edit: It is the version with the grey, knife-wielding Mumblers.

You know, if you have your ORIGINAL copy of SIlent Hill disc you can make your own backup... That's what I did and my Silent Hill game works perfect in my PSP...

I think the "grey, knife wielding mumblers" are called "grey children".

and the bearstrosites are mumblers,

forgive me if im wrong

Six dollars is an AWESOME price. Even though I already own a disc version of the game, I'm sure I'll download this when I get my PS3 just in case.

wait , really?? WOW yes

I'm reading this thread and I don't know what to say since my copy of SH works FINE. No glitches with the sound whatsoever.

I have a PAL version if that matters...or maybe they fixed the whole issue with the latest firmware. I mean there IS a working SH on PSN so what the hell.

I just looked it up and your right. I thought Grey Children was the name they gave them in the movie, but it seems the ones in the game are called like that as well.
Anyway, nice that those monsters are in the game.

hmm.. i turned on my psp to access the psn store, dying of excitement, and of coarse, I have to do some stupid wierd update thing that I don't understand. My brilliant luck.

Been playing it and I've got to point out that the controls in the PSN version are a lot more responsive. It's like the game seems to be running and playing faster or at a better framerate compared to the disc version. But the controls definately feel a lot nicer... anyone else notice this?

I have the disc which I personally don't care to play on the PS3, however, I did buy the SH1 down for the PS3 for $5:99 also RE1 for 9:99

On the PSP I hate using the gun control with the analog, sometimes it goes up and down and you can't keep it steady!

The Grey Children and Mumblers are in the game, Terminus. The Children are in Midwhich, and the Mumblers appear when the streets of Silent Hill revert to the Otherworld.

Anyone else encounter that gunfire sound glitch on the PSN version? It didn't appear for most of the game, but it started to happen a few times when I was in Nowhere. I had to refight the Incubus because of it.

Yes- there's actually a thread about it around here somewhere, or a thread where we all started to talk about it, anyway. That's odd it didn't do it to you for most of the game- it happened to me from the very first time I fired the gun.

I think it's cool that Silent Hill is for sale on PSN now- I'd like it if they would come up with a fix for us disc owners to play it on PS3 without the glitch, but at least this is another way for PS3 owners to play it. Alas, upon discovering the glitch SH1 has on the PS3, I went out and replaced my broken PS2 just so I can play SH1, so... I don't know if I'll be purchasing it on PSN. The idea almost excites me enough to do it.

EDIT: Sorry, Apocali, I didn't realize you said "on the PSN version." I'm amazed that you encountered the glitch on there! What the hell is the point of it, then?

I'll just play it on my PS2... Glad I didn't purchase it on PSN yet.

It is alright. I had to switch up some controls, all in all I feel the controls are even tighter and better now, though to be fair there is a bit slow down on the psp.

With every single PSP game I buy the first thing I do is go into the options menu and change the controls. The games play a lot better than using the default

Switch L and R to L2 and R2, and then left and right on the nub to L1 and R1, and you'll be good to go.

I actually like how it looks on the PSP much better than on a full-size TV, and with the controls set this way, it's about as perfect as you can get (Unless you like using the analogue stick to move, and that's an easy fix).

So is there any news on a fix for the glitches on PS3?

I have always kept my Playstation 1 hooked up for playing Silent Hill, it would be nice to play it with something else I think.

EDIT:

Got the game, and I have only encountered the obnoxious gun noise two times over the course of an entire playthrough. In order to get rid of it I just equipped and fired another gun... Wonder what would have happened if I had ONLY had the handgun.

But the main reason I bought it again was to play it on my PSP, and I haven't encountered any problems with that, except for the fact I am used to the screen being 37 inches instead of 4 inches.
