SH1 literally plays exactly the same as its sequels, while having stellar art-directing, Akira Yamaoka's already legendary, haunting OST, and the best pacing + world design + replay value of the entire series.

The gritty, noisy PS1 visuals literally add to the nightmarish slaughter-house aesthetics. But if you're allergic to pixels, just emulate at higher res with all the bells and whistles there is. Texture filtering is gay though.

Look how only the top left and right corners in that image are artistic. What a hacks the devs were.

How colorful do you expect old dungeons, catacombs, and caves to be? It had great lighting, atmosphere, and details which make it stand out far beyond the brown and grey era. Do you shit on Silent Hill for not being bright and colorful too?

you can achieve that on ePSXe too, if you use a software plugin. You can also "simulate" quite a lot of the graininess with the OpenGL´s options (no texture filters + 16-bit color + color dither + Dot-Matrix).

Not the same thing to an extend

>Finally there is nowhere, which is a really cheap re-use of locations we've already visited
I never found it cheap or bad.
The idea of time and space mixing up to create this very nightmarish maze, one without a working map, always fascinated me. Only SH3 ever tried anything of the sort, but even its "nowhere" was very small scale in comparison.

Which PS1 games are worth emulating?

So far I've got:
Silent Hill
Fear Effect
Dino Crisis 2
Policenauts
Incredible Crisis
PaRappa The Rapper
FF9
Tomba!
Ape Escape
Castlevania SOTN
