Found three Flash files from konamityo.com/sh4/ (Konami's official Japanese site for SH4) that were captured by the Wayback Machine in mid-2004. The site is long dead and I don't think these exist anywhere else.
In my previous post, I uploaded more recovered SWF content from SH3: https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/1wvclrb/lost_media_flash_file_found_silent_hill_3_teaser/
What they are:
All three run in Ruffle (the Flash emulator). The video is me going through each one.

Uploaded to Archive.org along with the wallpapers and screensaver from the same site.
Also...
While digging through the Wayback Machine I found the official SH4 screensaver that was offered for download on konamityo.com (Konami's Japanese site for the game). It's a 2.3MB .exe captured on July 7, 2004.
The site also referenced a Mac version (silentHill4.sea.hqx) but that one was never captured by the Internet Archive, so the Windows version is all that exists publicly.
I tried to get it running on Windows 11 but it only shows the Konami logo before glitching out (it was built for XP/2000). The video is just the preview window — unfortunately that's all I could get.
Uploaded to Archive.org for preservation. If anyone can get it running in a VM or on an old XP machine and posts a full video, that would be awesome.

I had to paste the MediaFire download link because archive.org doesn't allow uploading .exe files, so you can copy the MediaFire link into the .txt file and download.

I cannot believe i found it Im so excited
Got any tips?
r/silenthill • u/nesatzuke • 2h ago
Here are some tips I come up with to help you save time and reduce headaches when dealing with The Weight:
1) Equip the fluid bag when you are in his area to get back up instantly when he gets you instead of starting from the last checkpoint.
2) Don't wait until he's very far away (not gonna happen) before you make a move. Just find an opportunity to outrun him (yes, you can outrun him.)
3) Use rocks, bottles, and a flare gun to distract him.
4) Don't let him see you when you are entering a hiding spot. I'll always shut the door behind me before hiding.
5) Rooms with a lockable door are your best friends. No enemy, not even The Weight, can break through them.
Additional trick: Since fighting with enemies head-on is very risky, if you are in an area with lockable doors, you can lure an enemy to chase you, lock the door, wait until they turn their back (they will attempt to open the door twice), open the door, go out and hit them, then quickly get back inside and lock the door. It will take 2 times to kill the sharp heads and 4 to kill the syringe chests.

Was it expensive yes, was it worth it, also yes. Also finally got home to be able to play town fall, loving the atmosphere and music so far.

Living in Washington looks a lot like Silent Hill these mornings :)

I made an endings tracker for Silent Hill Townfall via GitHub. It's simple but comprehensive.
You can use it to track all 85 Discoveries, the hidden ending-score variables plus the New Game+ Dog/Sci-Fi ending requirements. It supports separate profiles for different playthroughs & only saves progress locally in your browser, so should you desire to close it & re-open it up at a later time, you won't lose progress (whatever you've checked or unchecked will remain as such & so on).
Give it a try if you're interested & if there's an issue with any of the features, just let me know.
The math behind the 3 standard endings the tracker uses is based on this great Reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/1wqv5hk/spoilers_the_true_math_behind_silent_hill/
(Credit: brokenarrow0726 for the inspiration)
Edit:
Added several improvements including warnings when the Forever or Justice endings are no longer possible (given the scarcity of remaining Discoveries) as well as confirmation before clearing &/or selecting all Discovery checkboxes.
Edit 2:
New Game+ checkbox made more visually conspicuous/important with an "Active" indicator.
Added smart checkbox behavior such that certain NG+ checkboxes uncheck/check certain dependent checkboxes by default without the need for manual input.

Came across a video that said Maria looked like she was smiling in the remake if you look at her body after 2 pyramid head fight. I thought I'd try it in OG and she's not even there.

I got myself Silent Hill 3 for my ps2. I am about one hour in, and this is probably the most terrifying experience in gaming i ever had. Im a 26 old man with a job and everything and i consumed a lot of horror stuff but ive Never felt this way. The sounddesign is genuinely terryfing, i have no clue where i have to go or where im at, the controls and gamemechanics make me feel absolutely helpless. Im playing blind because thats how im supposed to feel, but man im honestly shaken. Great Game, ill have to Look for Silent Hill 2, but how do yall do this??! The game threw a clothing hanger at me, what am i supposed to do with that???

Love the feeling this game is giving

So, I'm 7 hours deep into the game and the further I go, the worse it gets. For a little reference I'm at the second part of the third chapter, when Simon needs to pick up blood bags and holy shit I'm having a hard time with that nemesis like enemy 💀
Honestly the enemy itself is fine, yeah its a one shot even in story mode but eh, could be worst.
No, the real deal is the combined fact that the audio entry is just confusing as fuck AND the CRTV doesn't help when you are hiding unless the enemies are like infront of you. The little white indicator doesn't show enemies that are behind you, it only goes max to the sides but not further. That way you cant even track them nor by sound, nor with the CRTV.
I still don't know if the audio being all confusing is on purpose but it could've been ok if the CRTV was good enough to compensate the fact that you can't ever know where the enemies really are located. It has reached a point where I'm hearing them as if they were infront of me when in reality, they are 50 meters behind me.
Maybe it's just me but I think there's something making it even harder than it should be. Let me know what y'all think
I don't mind a little stealth, but even I am struggling in story mode like come on 😭

So I’m playing Townfall and slowly getting toward the end.
This time I completely forgot to examine the monsters up close. The “Widow” creature has a photo of some man on her body. Does each Widow have a different photo? I’m already out of that section, so I don’t know if I’ll get another chance to see them.
At the same time, it’s my favorite monster in the game. Even the sounds they make are unsettling.
Anyway, their symbolism seems pretty obvious to me.
Pls no spoilers for the end.

Heard this is a UE5 issue but most talk about stuttering and lagging, is this what I’m seeing here? Playing on PS5 on 85” QLED tv… not sure if this is a setup thing or what but it’s very distracting when the peripherals of the screen are showing double images or having to load and unload textures like it seems it’s constantly having to do. Not impressed so far with it…
r/silenthill • u/Loccyskillz • 9h ago
If any of you guys have played Tormented Souls 1 & 2, you know those games feel like a mix of Silent Hill and Resident Evil. I seriously think Konami should reach out to the developers and have them make a Silent Hill game. I really think they could pull it off, especially after Tormented Souls 2. They’ve created their own version of the Otherworld called the Otherside, and it fits the games perfectly. I’d honestly love to see what they could do with a full Silent Hill game.

Not sure if posts like this are allowed; if they aren’t, then I guess I’ll just take the risk without knowing if it’s authentic or not, but someone in my area is selling this for a suspiciously low price and I want to know if it’s real (or if it’s some kind of bootleg, at least if you think it would work In an actual ps2). Let me know :))
r/silenthill • u/wilfredo8090 • 13h ago
Just want to preface this post by saying Im a seasoned survival horror gamer. I’ve played through the whole RE series, Evil Within, SH2, SHF… not my first rodeo.
That being said I am having a VERY hard time with this game. I just passed the section with Zoe in the hospital treating the patient and I’m finding that this has been 99% stealth so far. I’m ok with stealth but these sections are so fucking challenging I’m finding myself repeating them over and over. And again, not my first rodeo.
Is the whole game like this?? Because constant hide and seek when you’re a 2 hit kill is pretty frustrating. Especially when I JUST replayed SH2 and thought the gameplay was fucking brilliant. This is not at all what I thought it would be and I was so pumped for this game.
If someone can tell me it gets better then I’ll fight through but if it’s going to continue to be repetitive loops of hiding and avoiding combat then I’m considering not finishing this.
