I played this when I was like 15 years old with my friend at like 1am in the morning in his living room. It scared the absolute shit out of us. I still think it's the scariest game I've ever played.
I feel like the bad graphics really goes with the game, it adds to the horror and dream like gameplay, its hard to explain but its just part of the element, i think a reboot can never do it justice.
Back in 99-2000 SH1 graphics were not bad and 2019 consols and gpus did not exsist yet to compare to and see how the graphics have aged to look old and terribly out dated. In 2019 SH1 graphics look horrible, but back then they were very realistic and the best visuals at the time
This game used to scare the crap outta me, I remember getting the demo in the playstation mag when I was about 8. The sirens that got louder, the snow and darkness. When I saw the wheelchair spinning on it's side I was like "AHH HELL NO!"
I was 6 years old when this game came out January 1999, i for some reason thought it came out in 96/97 around when Resident Evil came out. I remember my dad had to lock away the first resident evil game because I was so traumatized by the first cinematic zombie scene because it looked so real especially only being 4/5 years old watching my dad play had many of nightmares about original mansion didn't play it again till I was like 13 lol Didn't hear about Silent Hill though till I was about 12 or 13 an by then the Silent Hill movie was out.
The reason this was amazing on the ps1 is because the draw distance lol They had to make the fog/darkness SO dense due to not wanting things to pop up in the distance.
Even tho it helpped hide draw distance rendering That wasnt the reason there was thick fog. Ps2 was more than 5X the consol power over ps1 and there was still fog. It made the games very scary. If you look close enough (mabe not on a small screen) you can see enemy shadows through the fog a good ways in the distance, the fog did help hide backgrounds that without it would have looked like a still piture instead of accuall real time moving backgrounds, but that wasnt the point of the fog.
we have been desensitised by video games, but when this came out, playing in the dark, it was creepy as fuck.... the sounds put so many goosebumps on y arms back in the day
This video was some of the first gameplay I ever saw of Silent Hill. I was so young back then. I used this video as a sneak peak. I didn't want to spoil it for myself. That must have been... 2009 when I saw this. I got the game that Christmas I think. I'm now replaying it again on PS3 in 2018. Some things never get old. Love Silent Hill.
Hey dude! You should totally put your silent hill 1 playthrough in a playlist! I love yours, and it would be nice to have it all play at once instead of having to click the next part! Just a suggested! :-D
I love how he's totally oblivious to the dead body at the front of the alleyway. Not to mention copious amounts of blood everywhere. But really, this game is so amazing and the pacing is immaculate; I think it's so awesome how the music escalates just as the scene does. Just as good as a movie.
Something about this Silent Hill is just superior. Everything about it is so creepy. The intro and the intro music. THE CHARACTERS. It just sets the stage for a really creepy place. Even the game itself has a creepy ambiance.
i LOVE this game! used to play it while my sisters watched, and we'd often be too scared to continue. this was especially true of silent hill 3. god, what a good franchise.
I will never forget the first time I played this game. It was at Hills Department store. Of course, you think that you actually died at 6:08, so I got pissed and walked away not realizing it lead into a cut scene after that. I decided a few months later to rent it and try it again. So glad I did. Love all the Silent Hill games. Was actually a bobble head nurse for Halloween.
The camera when you get to the alley is insane -I remember playing this game with my friend back in the day and we both got chills. He handed me the controller after that first part when you have to let the zombies attack you haha. He was like WTF
Ahh i remember playing this when i was little...soon as it got dark and he takes out his lighter and walked a bit and saw all the blood... i stopped playing... waay too scary for me. And wow... that camera work is really amazing... way to make a game scarier... much better than a fully rotatable camera like in the newer horror games.. limiting control, that's what makes it scary, not the cheap jump scares we get nowdays in "horror" games
Silent Hill is one of the best crafted games of all time. It's still better than most games being released these days. So much work and emotion was put into it, and I think modern games could learn a thing or two from it :/
5:25 is when my heart would start pounding. Could only play this with my bro in the room. The music is so rousing. Takes me right back to that feeling of sheer fear i got from the very first time i played it.
for what i understood, they got trapped into an "otherside world", the one silent hill is by daylight, just snowing dust. It actually happened right after she woke up in the car at the beginning, they've already switched worlds. So it's kinda like a spiritual world, in wich the man is not, so they cant communicate... Thats what I think
Oooh watching the game play, the movie, reading a TON of stuff on different websites (wiki and deviantArt) and I now know EVERYTHING I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS I TELL YOU. *deep breath* and aw I just love Harry. Thank you, excellent memory. ^_-
Henry Mason sees lots of blood. Henry Mason sees giant bones placed everywhere. Henry Mason sees rotting flesh and corpses. "Whats a wheelchair doing here?"
This is basically how he responds to everything in the game. When faced with hanging bodies and blood all over the walls, with a wheelchair underneath: "What's a wheelchair doing here?"
Its impressive how far the graphics came with the years,, but i bet some of you cant forget the days when you played Re1 and SH1 and all the other games back then.. Sometimes, i miss those days, really.
I hope that A PROPER REMAKE of Silent Hill 1-4 will be made. I'm saying JUST the graphics, but, there could be more monsters more hidden items/weapons, set-pieces, the possibilities are seemingly endless!
Its was very foggy this morning and it made me think of this game. Got pretty freaked out, thought something was going to jump out and get me! Silent Hill = Gaming genius!
In the movie they changed the snow into ashes because they also changed Silent Hill into a mining town that was shut down when there was a huge coal fire underground that is still burning, so now it's ash.
When I first played this, I was way to young. I cant remember how old I was, but had to have been in elementary school. I was freaked out so bad after this part. I think this scene alone is what caused me to be afraid of the dark for so long.
It's weird seeing gameplay of the first silent hill. The first silent hill I saw being played was silent hill 2 haha. I never thought of looking up the first one, it's like watching a legendary piece of work, where silent hill began. Love these games, the movies too are amazing.
He was the cute computer geek, I was the known it all bookworm. He found out I had a thing for scary movies, funny since I am little miss sunshine. One night he brought over his gaming system we played Silent Hill. I jumped over the couch and ran screaming! LOL By the end of the night I was into the game and Him. I have been gaming ever since lol! While he (boyfriend now) has learned to love black and white movies, and tolerate my love of English films. He still has my heart to this day.
No horror gaming experience comes close to the the terror of having to find your lost 7-yr-old child in a strangely deserted town crawling with God-knows-what kind of creatures! No horror gaming experience ever could. Even with the PS1 graphics, this is without a doubt THE scariest game I've ever played!
Harry later on in the game reveals the he is in fact not Cheryl's Biological Father, Making him her adoptive father. He also reveals that his wife was sick, and that she wasn't getting any better. That was what made the decision to adopt Cheryl, and obviously since the mom died, Cheryl had to stay with Harry. X_X I'm sorry, but please make sure of what your talking about next time.
First seen this game in 2000 on Playstation.There was a time then the games been so good and you want to play again and again shit your pants and playing again)) Thanks for the great memories)
it's one thing to watch something scary, it's another thing to play something. Especially when you know something is going to pop out and say boo, and you have to force yourself to keep going. I remember watching Amnisa thinking "ah I can handle it. Then I tried to play it, whole other beast.
oh forgot to add this. Best disturbing tactic. THE LEGENDERY RADIO OF SILENT HILL 1&2>CRAMPED UP ROOM AND YOUR CAMERA DOESN'T WORK(Fatal Frame 2>NO CAMERA(FATAL FRAME 2)>CRAMPED UP ROOM AND TYRANT SMASHES THROUGH THE GLASS(RE2)
This and Silent Hill 2 are absolutely the most terrifying games of all time and the story alone in my book. Based on guilt, sins are an amusement park ride compared to the horrors depicted in the town of Silent Hill...
Silent hill is The game that went down in history. People say that its the scariest game of all time Gametrailers ranked it as #1. Other than FEAR Resident Evil Siren Fatal frame Its a wonderful,warped,Morbid and disturbing game.
Oh my gosh, the graffic has changed su much in last 10 years. just take a look at from the PS1 games and now at the PS3 games. it seems like there are worlds in between. respect!
You know despite the graphics and bad voice acting....this game is STILL creepy as hell, the music really does set the atmosphere. Graphics aren't everything, we need SH and RE to make scary games again. I love surivival horror =)
Once Bruce Lee said that if your friend was beaten, you would think of a plan to get revenge, but if your mother was beaten, you wouldn't need a plan, you would rush out immediately to avenge her :) so you might be wrong. Bravery has the tendency to sleep a lot and to wake up on its own.
Remember forth floor? "Forth floor?? what the hell??" I remember thinking. I went up and really carefully secured the corridor and first part of the stairwell on the other side of the hallway before trying the doors. When I turned around I faced a concrete wall and never saw the forth floor again. It was brilliant.
I know Shattered Memories was a re-imagining of this game, but I wish they stayed with the themes that really contributed to the atmosphere, like the fog and emptiness.
This game seriously needs a reboot/remake for PS4/Xbox One
and pc
iRiaz it was cancelled noooooooo del Toro would have made us shit our pants in VR
Stop remaking everything
they should seriously remake this game, EXACTLY the same with the new graphics!!!
i agree
why you people only care about graphics?
Hoot-Ass Detector no no no, i would also enjoy a game boy version very much
RealHero the two phrases of your message seem to disagree with eachother :| I feel puzzled :| I feel baffled :| I feel gushmoogled really :|
RealHero yeah maybe you're right
I played this when I was like 15 years old with my friend at like 1am in the morning in his living room. It scared the absolute shit out of us. I still think it's the scariest game I've ever played.
Gggmanlives Never expect to see you here
Playing with headphones makes this 10x scarier with all the extra sounds you'll hear.
I feel like the bad graphics really goes with the game, it adds to the horror and dream like gameplay, its hard to explain but its just part of the element, i think a reboot can never do it justice.
and somehow deep within me my thought resonates with yours. crazy... but i agree :)
Back in 99-2000 SH1 graphics were not bad and 2019 consols and gpus did not exsist yet to compare to and see how the graphics have aged to look old and terribly out dated. In 2019 SH1 graphics look horrible, but back then they were very realistic and the best visuals at the time
I love the unconventional camera angle at 4:24 gives an unsettling vibe of danger.
The best horror game ever, i still remember those nightmares in my teenage time.
Eso, sigue jugando videjuegos porque no eres más que escoria y nadie te quiere.
+DosGordosEnMoto worst horor
Thank you very much for making a higher definition playthrough than what is generally found on YT for Silent Hill!
Still one of the creepiest games every historically.
This game used to scare the crap outta me, I remember getting the demo in the playstation mag when I was about 8. The sirens that got louder, the snow and darkness. When I saw the wheelchair spinning on it's side I was like "AHH HELL NO!"
when i was 8 what mostly scared me was when silent hill got darker and the doctors/nurses
Is it snow? I thought it was ash
i been wondering that myself also
The1990Doctor would seem to make more sense since the town burnt down and is still burning!
I was 6 years old when this game came out January 1999, i for some reason thought it came out in 96/97 around when Resident Evil came out. I remember my dad had to lock away the first resident evil game because I was so traumatized by the first cinematic zombie scene because it looked so real especially only being 4/5 years old watching my dad play had many of nightmares about original mansion didn't play it again till I was like 13 lol Didn't hear about Silent Hill though till I was about 12 or 13 an by then the Silent Hill movie was out.

one of the best horror games.ıf you didnt play it, you should
they just made resident evil 2 and its even better,
@@anthonybova5889 you compare sh 1 with re2 remake?
well..........
Classiest game ever been created!
Moozy Mathers i
Still get chills when i first hear that music..
we have been desensitised by video games, but when this came out, playing in the dark, it was creepy as fuck.... the sounds put so many goosebumps on y arms back in the day
I love how the SH games are also a good horror drama series to watch itself.
that moment when you see the wheelchair spinning...
Thank you callo111 for this video. I'm usually too scared to play the game myself so it's nice to see someone else do it.
The best game in the history.
of this genre probably
One of the BEST EVER made. Not only the game itself, but the soundtrack! It's TRULY AWESOME
Who is watching in 2017?
2019
thanks for the upload this brings back memories
el mejor silent hill de todos es este
This video was some of the first gameplay I ever saw of Silent Hill. I was so young back then. I used this video as a sneak peak. I didn't want to spoil it for myself. That must have been... 2009 when I saw this. I got the game that Christmas I think. I'm now replaying it again on PS3 in 2018. Some things never get old. Love Silent Hill.
the music is very, very well made, I love how this game gives you sort of mental AND threatening horror.
This game still sends shivers uo and down my spine. After so many years... Amazing.
Hey dude! You should totally put your silent hill 1 playthrough in a playlist! I love yours, and it would be nice to have it all play at once instead of having to click the next part! Just a suggested! :-D
I love how he's totally oblivious to the dead body at the front of the alleyway. Not to mention copious amounts of blood everywhere.
But really, this game is so amazing and the pacing is immaculate; I think it's so awesome how the music escalates just as the scene does. Just as good as a movie.
Man, I had this game when I was about eight years old... probably wasn't the best thing to give a child. I loved it then and I still do now.
The music and sound effects of this game are the best I've heard, chilling.
The introduction sequence itself was the scariest part for me, especially when you hadn't played the game before and didn't know what to expect.
Something about this Silent Hill is just superior. Everything about it is so creepy. The intro and the intro music. THE CHARACTERS. It just sets the stage for a really creepy place. Even the game itself has a creepy ambiance.
i LOVE this game! used to play it while my sisters watched, and we'd often be too scared to continue. this was especially true of silent hill 3. god, what a good franchise.

Of all the Silent Hill games in the series, I must say that the first is the BEST!
Ahh i remember playing this when i was little...soon as it got dark and he takes out his lighter and walked a bit and saw all the blood... i stopped playing... waay too scary for me. And wow... that camera work is really amazing... way to make a game scarier... much better than a fully rotatable camera like in the newer horror games.. limiting control, that's what makes it scary, not the cheap jump scares we get nowdays in "horror" games
That air-raid siren really made me tense, especially after it suddenly got dark! :O
love this game! thank u so much for sharing! I most definetly subscribed!
one of many inspirations to the series
There's a lot of everything in Silent Hill, and it uses its inspirations to carve its own particular niche
Thank you for posting you play this game very well.
I use to have this game I would play it a lot.
This game is old, but proof that atmosphere is what makes a scary game truly scary.
I love how the guy casually walks passed all those piles of blood, guts and body parts before he actually starts wondering what's going on xD
i´ve completed this game three time and i never get tired of watching it.
Silent Hill is one of the best crafted games of all time. It's still better than most games being released these days. So much work and emotion was put into it, and I think modern games could learn a thing or two from it :/
Until today this is the best horror game I've ever played
this reminds me alot of the first 3 resident evil games, the closing gate sounds are exactly the same, love it
5:25 is when my heart would start pounding. Could only play this with my bro in the room. The music is so rousing. Takes me right back to that feeling of sheer fear i got from the very first time i played it.
for what i understood, they got trapped into an "otherside world", the one silent hill is by daylight, just snowing dust. It actually happened right after she woke up in the car at the beginning, they've already switched worlds. So it's kinda like a spiritual world, in wich the man is not, so they cant communicate... Thats what I think
and a legend begins...
I have to say, the movie did great at capturing this part of the game.
Te stare gry to miały klimat! Znalazłam swój pierwszy horror w życiu, pamiętałam ten początek gry idealnie przez tyle lat haha :D
Oooh watching the game play, the movie, reading a TON of stuff on different websites (wiki and deviantArt) and I now know EVERYTHING I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS I TELL YOU.
*deep breath* and aw I just love Harry. Thank you, excellent memory. ^_-
Henry Mason sees lots of blood.
Henry Mason sees giant bones placed everywhere.
Henry Mason sees rotting flesh and corpses.
"Whats a wheelchair doing here?"
The music really sells the scariness of it.
This is basically how he responds to everything in the game.
When faced with hanging bodies and blood all over the walls, with a wheelchair underneath:
"What's a wheelchair doing here?"
einfach nur mysteriös und cool gemacht, mein respekt :D
man just hearing that intro music gave me the shivers!!!
Its impressive how far the graphics came with the years,, but i bet some of you cant forget the days when you played Re1 and SH1 and all the other games back then.. Sometimes, i miss those days, really.
I hope that A PROPER REMAKE of Silent Hill 1-4 will be made. I'm saying JUST the graphics, but, there could be more monsters more hidden items/weapons, set-pieces, the possibilities are seemingly endless!
Harry Manson can walk slowly and calm in every fucking nightmare, blood, entrails, wheelchairs, anything.
He's the man.
Its was very foggy this morning and it made me think of this game.
Got pretty freaked out, thought something was going to jump out and get me!
Silent Hill = Gaming genius!

I have been gaming ever since lol! While he (boyfriend now) has learned to love black and white movies, and tolerate my love of English films. He still has my heart to this day.
i like how casually he takes a skinless body tied to a fence with barbed wire
this game is a classic i had this when i was 7, me and my brother n sisters spent 3 weeks beating this game so many memories
No horror gaming experience comes close to the the terror of having to find your lost 7-yr-old child in a strangely deserted town crawling with God-knows-what kind of creatures! No horror gaming experience ever could. Even with the PS1 graphics, this is without a doubt THE scariest game I've ever played!
SUPRISE!! the vintage is the best in any direction!!!
Nice... Is the game only avaliable for PS1 or it has a PC version?
Amazing game. I just started playing it again for about the 20th time since 1999.
This is the best Silent Hill IMO.
when the siren for the otherworld rings its just like the most intense dread that goes through you hahah
Harry later on in the game reveals the he is in fact not Cheryl's Biological Father, Making him her adoptive father.
He also reveals that his wife was sick, and that she wasn't getting any better.
That was what made the decision to adopt Cheryl, and obviously since the mom died, Cheryl had to stay with Harry.
X_X I'm sorry, but please make sure of what your talking about next time.
The first game of the series! And it's still the most scariest one. That music is just...creepy...
He steps over blood and corpses, and then he suddenly turns, walks back and goes 'What's a wheelchair doing here?'
Aw stoppit, no bowing! *grin*
If you want, go ahead. I like sharing information for some reason. *waves*
i love this game, all the right sound effects.
Just imagine, how super-production was this game. Really, that graphic at '99? I'm impressed.
First seen this game in 2000 on Playstation.There was a time then the games been so good and you want to play again and again shit your pants and playing again))
Thanks for the great memories)
it's one thing to watch something scary, it's another thing to play something. Especially when you know something is going to pop out and say boo, and you have to force yourself to keep going. I remember watching Amnisa thinking "ah I can handle it. Then I tried to play it, whole other beast.
oh forgot to add this. Best disturbing tactic.
THE LEGENDERY RADIO OF SILENT HILL 1&2>CRAMPED UP ROOM AND YOUR CAMERA DOESN'T WORK(Fatal Frame 2>NO CAMERA(FATAL FRAME 2)>CRAMPED UP ROOM AND TYRANT SMASHES THROUGH THE GLASS(RE2)
This and Silent Hill 2 are absolutely the most terrifying games of all time and the story alone in my book. Based on guilt, sins are an amusement park ride compared to the horrors depicted in the town of Silent Hill...
The early Resident Evil games were certainly beautifully rendered, but this game was, at times, actually scary.
It's so creepy but I can't stop watching it. I love it.
This scene is what made me fall in love with Silent Hill.
If this wasent in the game i would probly hate it.
This bit seriously scared the hell out of me when i first played it. I cant explain why it was so scary, but it was, at least in my opinion.
Silent hill is The game that went down in history. People say that its the scariest game of all time Gametrailers ranked it as #1. Other than FEAR Resident Evil Siren Fatal frame Its a wonderful,warped,Morbid and disturbing game.
this is the start of all of silent hill
Oh my gosh, the graffic has changed su much in last 10 years. just take a look at from the PS1 games and now at the PS3 games. it seems like there are worlds in between. respect!
You know despite the graphics and bad voice acting....this game is STILL creepy as hell, the music really does set the atmosphere. Graphics aren't everything, we need SH and RE to make scary games again. I love surivival horror =)
That air raid siren still freaks me out. And the grunting monkey things. i second putting Hill on playstation network. Pure class of a game, I'd buy.
The best horror game ever, i still remember those nightmares in my teenage time.
REPLY
it's the most beautiful game i've ever seen..... i fell in LOVE!

It was brilliant.
Half of the time i play this i always look away when it starts to get propa freaky haha... such a classic
I love the opening movie. I hope they keep that song with Shattered Memories!
I know Shattered Memories was a re-imagining of this game, but I wish they stayed with the themes that really contributed to the atmosphere, like the fog and emptiness.
