Silent Hill: Homecoming

[RobDimmock]

Haha, yeah really need a new bloody TV. But that ain't happening at the moment. Might as well just buy it when it comes out over here!

[Matt]

Can't you get a VGA cable and plug your PS3 in to your PC monitor?

[RobDimmock]

I don't think Sony have brought one out yet, I think that's a rather costly job as well, getting all manner of converters and ****.

For a VGA cable - Try this 1... 20 bones though...

hmmm. not sure now after reading further down the page - sry...

[Matt]

That cable would surely work? You don't need any fancy converter boxes or anything, just pump a native RGB through VGA and your PC monitor will synch up.

Or stop buying games for a little bit and get a cheap LCD TV with HDMI

[RobDimmock]

Im not sure how to connect that up to be honest, i wish there was a cable that was like the 360 VGA cable just connect and play straight away!

[SuperBeatBoy]

You just connect it up to your monitor by the looks of it and thats that.

The people in the comments are referring to the Wii when they say you need to connect it to a TV aswell.

[RobDimmock]

Hmm, how would I get the sound to output though? Thank you everyone for all the help by the way!

The cable would be fine if you have a widescreen monitor, since it will just take the source 1280x720 or whatever and output at the same resolution. If you're hooking up to a non-widescreen monitor, I'd go with the HD BOX PRO, since that lets you select output aspect ratio and resolution. It's what I use.

Interesting piece of kit. However, it's around 50 euros with postage. I'd put that money towards a proper TV

[SuperBeatBoy]

I suppose it would have a slot to connect to your pc speakers, same as the Dreamcast VGA box.

Back on topic.

I gave up on this last night, i just couldn't put up with the god awful graphics no more. Very Low resolution textures everywhere, plastic character models and lack of any decent graphical detail to speak of in the normal realm.

The dogs look like something i made out of red plasticine when i was 6.

Alex moves way too slow, he looks like he is moving faster than he acually is. He also has the loudest steps i've heard in a game for awhile.

Its probably just me, i just couldn't put up with it for a Silent Hill game.

Initially I set the game to default settings which solved the problem, until I hit another loading screen, at which point I went back into options and set to default again. after the first 10 or so times I got a bit fed up. In the end I remapped O to be fast attack/interact and X to dodge.

That works a treat, dont have to keep fraffing about changing to default after every load screen!

Sorry to go back to this issue but did you have to change control settings each time you reload the game? Tried playing this earlier and it's really pissing me off as I can't assign map to triangle, meaning that when I go to interact with O, it pulls up the map first.

Think I'll just sell this and go for the 360 vesion.

[ezee ryder]

I know what you mean mate. I was playing this last night and every time I got to a new section the controls would go all messed up. O would be assigned to interact and seeing the map, very very annoying!

[Shozuki]

yeah had to it every time, works fine in my UK PS3 system mind. Still love the game got all endings now too. I really wish I could play another new SH now. C'mon team announce SH6, please?
