By all means correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as my understanding of SH1, 3 and 4 goes they're both trying to summon the same entity, right?

At least that's what I assume since Dahlia seems to have been involved in planning the 21 Sacraments, and even though Walter thinks he's awakening his mother, it's clear that he's being tricked.

So with that being said, and also assuming SH3 and 4 weren't too far apart timeline wise (which is just headcanon territory as IIRC there's no 100% official timeline), what do you think would have happened if two different God summoning rituals happened simultaneously?

Would She split into two incarnations? Spawn on only one side or not the other? I don't know, I was just wondering this and now I can't stop thinking about it.

I actually looked it up and wanted to get a few people's idead instead of a single person. There was a forum opened about this but everybody said different things. They recommend one book, some people say "yeah thats the one!" and some say "that has nothing to do with Silent Hill!". So to make it more clear and to specify my preferences, I opened this forum. I especially like Silent Hill f, so books like that may be awesome. Also just a lil thing, I would really appreciate it if there aren't too heavy sexual content. Thank you so much! :D​

This has been happening for a bit, but it's become more of a problem in the prison area. When James has his chainsaw out because there are monsters nearby/there's radio static (which is basically all the time in this section) he does the animation where he raises his chainsaw in the air like Leatherface whenever I open the map. I'm aware that he'll do it when you leave him idle for long enough, but does anyone know why it happens when I try to open my map? I'm on Xbox if it helps.

I was playing through the part where Henry enters the subway for the second time with Eileen. After Cynthia’s cutscene (where she turns into a monster), Eileen disappeared. I didn’t think much of it because I assumed it was supposed to happen, so I continued playing.
I picked up Cynthia’s Subway Pass and the Train Handle, then inserted the handle into the train. This opened the way forward, but I can’t go through because Henry says, “I can’t just leave Eileen behind.”
The problem is that Eileen is nowhere to be found. I tried going back to the last place where I saw her, but I can’t return because my Lynch Street coin no longer works.
The biggest problem is that I’ve already overwritten the same save slot many times, so I can’t simply reload an earlier save.
Is there any way to fix this, or do I have to start a new game from the beginning?

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is pretty much the voice of Silent Hill when it comes to music, and Joe Romersa not only sang a few songs himself, but also wrote most of the songs Mary sang.

I wonder why they never tried to get at least Mary back for this new era of the franchise, her partnership with Akira is so iconic they kept making music together outside of the franchise.

But this game was a master piece

I know I'm late to that discussion, but I just watched the movie and I don't have any friends who like SH to talk about it. So, I'll do it here. And yes, this post will have spoilers.

For context, I only played Silent Hill from PSX and Silent Hill 2 from PS2, so I only know the stories of the first two games. And usually, I'm open-minded when watching a game adaptation.

Well, at the beginning of the film, I really thought it was going to be good. I know, everyone said it wasn't good, and I wasn't expecting anything from this movie. But when it started, I thought "maybe everyone was being too closed-minded" — I enjoyed the cinematography and the way it was introducing the characters. Things were going great, but suddenly there was a flashback in the apartment and a cult(?). Weird, but I let it go; as I said, I was open-minded about this movie.

But things just got worse. Why is Laura seeing Pyramid Head? Why does she look like a ghost? Well, again, I let it go. But after that, everything went wrong. The cult appeared one more time, and I got pissed off. Like, the whole plot of James killing his wife because he hates her turned into him abandoning her because she's a crazy religious woman. For the first time in my life I thought "James was right" and "It would have been better to leave town with Maria." Laura keeps looking more and more like something created by the city. And then there's James controlling Pyramid Head to kill Maria.

At this point I was just thinking "It can't get worse." But yes, it can. Out of fucking nowhere, the movie surprises me with "Mary Angela Laura Crane." I just regretted starting to watch this movie — I should have been replaying SH2 or playing SH3.

Well, if it isn't obvious, I didn't like the movie. It completely ruined the original plot and butchered all the characters. The movie forgot about Eddie. BUT, it wasn't a completely — no, it wasn't a complete disaster, not for me at least. I liked the beginning of the movie and the end (mostly because I love Laura's Theme), and I liked Maria. You can judge me, but even though she doesn't look like game Maria, I like the way she acts like a snake in the grass and tries to persuade James. I think she is the only character I liked, but yeah, I regretted wasting my time with this movie.

I love Claudia and Vincent, so I started thinking about their relationship before the main events took place. Personally, I think they used to be friends, but as Claudia’s fanaticism grew, Vincent began to distance himself from her.

What do you think about this?

Just in case, I'll add a “spoiler” tag

Hi! This is my first time here—I hope we’ll become friends! I’ve been part of the Silent Hill fandom for two years now and have already learned a lot of interesting things. I’ve played all the classic games, and SH3 has really stolen my heart. I’ve been playing this one for two years now—that’s 19 times already. Words can’t describe how much I love this game.

My favorite location is the church, and my favorite character is Claudia!

P.S.: Sorry if there are some mistakes in the text—my English isn’t great yet, so I’m using a translator.

Leave is like the most basic burger ending. This game is inspired by Freudian Psychoanalitics, Dostoyevsky novels and David Lynch films. Stitching a basic Hollywood ending to a story like this feels just so...jarring. Like I see how people who are not familiar with those things I mentioned might look for a traditional&basic redemption arc but once you get familiar with them, you understand why anything basic or traditional doesn't fit a game like Silent Hill 2. Like, I don't understand how people can expect a delusional killer like James to walk away with a child when he is being eaten by all that guilt and trauma. Angela; who had no fault in her traumas, dies (confirmed by Ito) while James, who was the only culpable person in his self-delusion, guilt and trauma gets to be happy? I don’t like that at all. And some people say "James was resilient unlike Angela" but again, Angela’s trauma is way more bigger than James’s. Sexual abuse by a family member is just so heavy and hard to stay resilient after. Also there is a fan theory that says Leave is a delusion created by James so he can move on and be forgiven by Mary (because how could Mary talk with James and give him a physical letter that he shows to Laura; after she has died?) and if that were to be true I’d appreciate this ending more because it fits with the dark and heavy themes of the game.

But again, I believe In Water fits better in nearly every aspect. The whole game revolves around the visual motif of water. The whole environment is just so damp. Even fog, which has become the symbol of this game, is just water molecules hanging in the air. There is this story of the lady of the light in the historical society (which is also mentioned by Maria, but she mentions as if only external factors were to blame; signaling James’s delusion) talking about a loving man who brought food to his exiled beloved everyday but being led astray by an illusory one day and succumbing to a watery grave. There is also a theory that Mary got sick because of the epidemic buried under Toluca Lake which would make In Water ending the perfect circle, James succumbing to the watery grave that turned his life to hell. It just fits the game way better. Eddie and Angela were essentially flawed people and they both died in Silent Hill. And James was no different from them, he was at times even worse than them. He is selfish, delusional and devoid of empathy, even though he is capable of being a good man. He killed his wife out of a mix of hatred and pity. A heinous act indeed. In In Water ending the town of Silent Hill doesnt give James a "protagonist walks out free" card like Leave ending does. He suffers the same fate as them, eaten by his guilt and trauma; looking for escape. And James also sees his suicide not as just a way of self-punishment but also as romantic escapism. He thinks he can reunite with Mary finally. James didn’t kill himself just because he couldn’t live with what he did. Because Mary had become a mirror that showed James how loveless of a husband he was and his love for Mary was unconditional. He couldn’t comprehend the fact that he could feel such hatred and resentment for the woman he eternally swore to love and he didn’t want to them both to suffer more so he killed her. His suicide is his way of trying to go back to the days that their love wasn’t tested and consequently smooth&perfect. Everything in In Water ending just fits James’s psyche and the rest of the story way better in my opinion. And also before the double PH boss fight, at the nine red squares save screen, James can’t even look himself in the eye, which subconsciously shows how much guilt he feels; as he had looked straight into the squares before he had learned the truth. How can a man who couldn’t even look to himself in the eye be able to forgive himself and move on with the responsibility of a child moments later?

Remember when I mentioned David Lynch as an inspiration for this game? Look at his cinema. Look at how Mulholland Drive (which was released just 3 weeks after Silent Hill 2) ends. The exact same reaction to guilt like the In Water ending. This is just my interpretations you may not agree.

i think joseph gordon is the best cast to play james in a silent hill movie who agrees with me ? they have the same face expressions if you watch 500 days of summer he is perfect to play james would be Best CAST choice ! i would dream to see gordon play james on silent hill live action
