Silent Hill 2 60 FPS (REAL PS2 HACK) + 5.1 Remastered Audio

Post by frank0393 »

Hey everyone, my name’s Frank and I’m new to this forum. I’ve never been on a Silent Hill forum before so I’m looking forward to see what people talk about around here. :)

Instead of introducing myself in the Silent Hill Town Centre and start talking about my life and other random stuff, first I would like to show you guys something that I’ve been working on these last months.
Recently I found a way to play Silent Hill 2 at 60FPS on the PS2 version using Action Replay codes, and I managed to record the whole gameplay. I made a compilation of all the game cutscenes in 60FPS, and manually remastered the audio to 5.1 by separating each audio track of each cutscene using the original audio files inside the DVD.

I’m very satisfied with the final results, and looks like I’m the only guy on the whole Internet that managed to do this, so I know that a lot of Silent Hill fans would love to see/hear this :wink: , but trying to make this video popular on the Internet is a pretty though and elaborate process.
So… yeah, you know where I’m going to. I uploaded the video on Youtube and the original video on mega.co.nz, so go ahead and watch it, and if you like it, feel free to download it, edit it or share it with the rest of the fan community.

Im almost positive Sh2 was already 60FPS. Also i don't understand how you made 5.1SS. All music was sequenced besides 2 or 3 in the PS2 version.

I'm sorry but you're totally wrong :) . All Silent Hill games run at 30FPS (2,3,4,origins,homecoming,shattered memories and downpour) except for Silent Hills (P.T.), which runs at 60fps, and Silent Hill 1, which runs at 20fps in gameplay and at 60fps in the inventory menu and the map.

Yep, the songs are sequenced and in stereo, but you can use 3D sound virtualization techniques to archive some good results. Besides, the game itself already uses Sony's S-Force sound virtualization technology, which is basically the same thing (also, the XBOX and PC ports use an improved version of this technology, that allows to obtain 5.1 and 7.1 from stereo sources).

Moreover, most of the cutscene voices are separated from the music, so you can put them in the centre channel and play a bit with the sound effects on the rear channels.
AND BY THE WAY...! :P If you don't like the remastered 5.1 thing, you can always download the original video on the link above, and then choose the original stereo mix from the mkv audio files.
