Silent Hill 4 Joins GOG Preservation Program With Cut Content Previously Unavailable on PC

The GOG Preservation Program is growing with a solid list of inductees, including classic titles like Silent Hill 4: The Room, Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption, Fallout 2, Deus Ex, and more.

The PC digital storefront detailed how it planned to expand its retro-gaming-focused service yesterday, providing fans with a lineup of games it has committed to support for the foreseeable future. It’s a list of 26 titles that GOG says will “remain playable in their best versions” that players can safely assume they’ll have access to for years to come.

Silent Hill 4: The Room is one title that will benefit from the GOG Preservation Program in more ways than one. In addition to securing its future, GOG says the entry’s status with the service means it comes with “missing content that was never available on PC before.” This includes the reintroduction of Hauntings, which spruce up that iconic Silent Hill atmosphere with spooky effects, such as flickering lamps and possessed telephones. Modern controller support has also been added.

F.E.A.R. Platinum, which was promised last month, arrives as an especially nice addition, too, as its original developer, Monolith Productions, was shuttered by Warner Bros. last month. As more studio closures occur and the industry leans toward a digital future, it’s a perfect example of what GOG aims to accomplish with the Preservation Program.

The GOG Preservation Program is a relatively new initiative from the CD Projekt Red-owned storefront that serves as the company’s commitment to keep a selection of games up-to-date and available for PC players. More than 100 games are supported through the program, and judging by today’s announcement, the list will only continue to grow.

“The GOG Preservation Program is our commitment to preserving gaming history,” GOG said at the time of its reveal late last year. “Through the program, players can trust that their games will always be up to date and ready to run on current and future PC setups.

“Whether it’s manuals, DLCs, or missing features, we’re offering the most complete version possible, backed by GOG’s tech support and offline installers, so you can safeguard these classics for years to come.”
