chads play the ps3 port just to make people seethe

both are good PC is a little bit sharper the output on PCSX2 blurs everything no matter the resolution probably because it was a 480i console
also PC has 60fps mode tho the controller support might be shittier
based

also forgot to mention that PC widescreen fix has a -vert scaling option so the cutscenes don't have out of bound areas means you can play in widescreen

SH 1 - emulate
SH 2 - PC
SH 3 - PC
SH 4 - emulate

Imagine suffering through a buggy mess of a port just to "omwn" teh normies epic style. You spite no one but yourself when you do that.

2 has an amazing HD enhancement for the PC edition.
It's the definitive way to play SH2.
Ayden Young
Well, you can emulate 3 - it'll be great, but 2 is objectively better on PC now with this mod:

Soft per-pixel shadows, updated 2d textures to look good at HD resolutions, better widescreen, additional autistic fixes etc

About per-pixel shadows

well i literally finished SH2 yesterday on PCSX2 on 1080p. Fmv's could have been better but i think i had a bad setting.

PCSX2 is the second best way to play it now, but for the future - consider PC port when you'll want to replay it
Angel Nelson
PC with the widescreen patch. Game still looks and runs great.
Alexander Bell
You can it's perfectly valid but they have their own quirks
the enhanced edition has some nice additions like soft shadows for example if you up the res in SH2 on PCSX2 the shadow resolution will also be upped and the shadows will be way too sharp but it doesn't happen on Enhanced Edition you get those nice blobs
EE also has good widescreen no out of bounds shit like on PCSX2 support HD fonts they recently introduced HRTF audio
it's just feels more modernish I personally don't like some of the redrawn assets atm but it's quite a good release
Sebastian Green
I'll be honest i don't plan on replaying any of them, but if i do ill try and set up the PC version. I'm not too far in to SH3 and don't care about widescreen, should i steal a copy of 3 and set it up?
Joshua Rodriguez
No reason to do that with SH3, really, just continue and enjoy
Gavin Carter
PS2 and PC version are extremely similar. With the fan patch the PC version gets sharper self-shadows and much sharper DOF effect, the DOF in particular looks much better than the PS2 version, the shadows on the other are a little too sharp and the blocky ones from the PS2 aren't anything to write home about either, so it's a matter of preference but neither are perfect. PC SH2 Enhanced Edition for example now officially has proper soft self-shadows done by DirectX shading effect and it looks really good quite superior than all the rest. Hopefully some fans will find a way to get this shading soft effect on SH3 PC version as well in the near future.

2 and 3 are free on myabandonware user
Alexander Williams
if you don't care about widescreen then don't sweat it tbqh it's not worth it they're almost 1:1 the SH3 PC port was done by TS themselves
James Cooper
He is correct about the CRT, SH3 was designed for CRT TVs.

PS2's shadows are a disaster, so ugly.
I recall playing the Xbox version for the first back in the days and being amazed at how good the per-pixel shadowing looks, it made me wonder how the Xbox could pull off shadows so pretty.

Hi, please stop posting pictures of my pure waifu please, she's been through a lot. Thanks!
Owen Taylor
What the fuck was his problem?
Justin Collins
I always err on the side of the original, even with emulators. Ports are so rarely done correctly and I don't have a smooth enough brain to get triggered by black bars from things not being widescreen.
John Young
I remember i played it on pc. Also, what's with the influx of SH3 on Zig Forums?
Ian Roberts
I just pirated the pc port, which is pretty bad
the game also kinda stinks compared to SH2
Eli Torres
SH3 is actually almost a 1:1 port of the PS2 version. It's SH2 that was limited because the porters were forced to design the port for CDs, so they were limited and had to limit the quality of the sounds and FMVs. The lead of the porting team actually posts on the Enhanced Edition forum.
Elijah James
I remember the PC port to be good but last time i played it was a decade ago
Ian Wright
I started SH3 not too long ago, recently got to the hospital. I've been going very slowly though since I choose to only play at night and don't always want to play it, pretty sure I downloaded this back in August. It's been fun though, might start it up tonight.
