An early prototype of Silent Hill: Homecoming for the Sony PlayStation 3.
Notes
- Early prototype.
- Predates the final build by 4 months.
- Debug symbols are present.
- Runs exceptionally well but only covers the second and third missions, crashing right after leaving your backyard. Also, you can't enter the rear of the house to hear the casette tape. No sign of the cut alternate tutorial opening involving fighting alongside a hunter in the woods as found by dataminers.
- The most notable content difference is that characters appear with different hairstyles. Both Alex Shepherd (the protagonist) and the town's judge, Margaret Holloway, have completely different hair sculpts than in the final release. Alex's is almost entirely a 2D texture, as is still visible in the PC port's leftover loading screens from the game's beta, while Holloway has a less natural looking, layered hair sculpt. They still exchange the same dialogue, and have the same optional dialogue conversation if the player speaks to her inside the town hall building.
- The build only features the second and third chapters of the game, compromising Alex walking around part of Shepherd's Glen and navigating the front portion of his family home. As soon as you approach the back alley, the game crashes while trying to load the next section.
- Works at least in version 0.0.31-16206-77485747 Alpha of rpcs3. Sometimes items like chairs can react oddly to physics, hovering in the air. Alex also appears to sometimes be walking between a quarter to half an inch above the ground. None of these issues impact gameplay.
- Original filename: Silent Hill V (Apr 03, 2008) [First Look].iso
