Silent Hill 2 Comparison Part 2 [PS2 vs PC Enhanced Mod]

Warning: the audio at 9:12 got glitched out in a VERY loud and unusual way, caused by the editing program. Please lower the volume for 6 seconds onwards.
In-depth Silent Hill 2 sound comparison between the original PS2 emulated on PCSX2 and PC Enhanced Mod versions. Let's see how they hold up in the audio department. Can the PS2's 3D sound technology (S-Force) deliver greater results than what the modded PC port's hardware mixing offers? Whatever the results are, I'd surely take PC over any HD collection any day...

The PS2 version was played in 8x native resolution (4096x4096), and the PC in 1440p. Not that it makes a big difference on a 1080p monitor though, but does eliminate aliasing. I used the PS2 Greatest Hits / Restless Dreams version, which is the same thing as Director's Cut for PC.

I did two playthroughs of the game on Hard Action and Easy Puzzle difficulties, and recorded both of them in their entirety, then slowly analyzed both of them for an ultimate comparison. With at least decent headphones, you'll be able to hear the differences in audio quality more clearly.

Pardon if my accent sounds strange at times, I'm not an American or an Englishman, I come from a rather small country called Lithuania.

If you have any questions about anything, please ask. I'll be glad to respond. Enjoy!

P.S. DO NOT touch the HD collection. Avoid it like the plague. There are much, much better things you could spend your money on. Like the PS2 collection, for instance. Or the Xbox version. Or PC.
