Silent Hill Heaven

Just because they're not real doesn't mean there's no other plane at work, though, which, if I'm not mistaken, was your problem with the ending. What we've got here is, IMO, multiple mental constructs that all center around what little Cheryl can remember of her father. Essentially, she's generatin...

So Kaufman can't see Harry because he's normal, so what does that make Michelle, Lisa and Cybil? And it being "an average day in Silent Hill" doesn't explain anything. If these are real events actually happening, I want to know what happened to Michelle at the club, and why she doesn't ca...

All of the things you described pretty much make up the average day in silent hill. The idea of someone being between the layers of silent hill isn't all that unbelievable: cheryl, being distraught, has some level of access to the former "foggy world," the first level of hell, in that she...

Straight up delusion is a crappy ending and I prefer to lean towards the NON crappy ending...I guess it's because I'm an optimist? At any rate, there's just as much evidence for construct Harry as there is against it. No, there isn't. Kaufman outright states Cheryl's living in a fantasy world conce...

Dr. K calls it "a whole universe of fantasy in that thick skull of [Cheryl's]." I don't think anything really happened. This; it really solidified for me that the game never happened; if Harry was simply a construct similar to Maria, and he was interacting with real people and actually tr...

Were you expecting some sort of...final boss? Or something? In a game with no combat? It should have been patently clear that the game would just end. Or am I misunderstanding your complaint? No, nothing like that. I was just expecting the stuff I endured to have actually happened. It's not even &q...

Well... you could argue that Kaufman in SH1 was simply a delusion from Harry in his dying moments, honestly. Though I'm strongly in the camp that agrees with Tom's original statement. However... we don't know the reasoning behind him saying that it CAN be linked to canon; I don't remember him stati...

It became increasingly predictable over the course of the game what the game was leading up to (but even then, there could have been any number of conclusions/answers) and I must say I wasn't really happy with it. The gameplay was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed the WTF-ness of the story and mystery of ...

It's pretty much what Tom said in one of the earlier interviews; the game simply isn't canon. I know he retracted that later due to fan outcry, but it's obvious he was simply backpedaling. His initial statement about Shattered Memories' continuity is pretty cut-and-dry; he explicitly states the game...

I just mentioned this in another post but I realized it was important enough to me that I decided to make a thread about it. In the videos we've seen so far, there is more going on with the HUD than I am comfortable with for a Silent Hill game. In SH1-SH3 you'd have absolutely nothing pop up on you...

I know a lot of fans are feverishly theorizing about the potential for Shattered Memories to be canon (given that in the SH Heaven interview the producer stated it could be just as canon as any other game), but I can't forget his initial claim on the subject: that Shattered Memories would take place...

Silent Hill 1 was released "almost" ten years ago? : /

The new one looks a little better. Still pretty bad though.

-The producer has stressed that the series structural maturity in terms of atmosphere and story telling will remain intact, perhaps as precautionary damage control for some series fans who will inevitably be unhappy about a T-rating. -In the E3 demo, even when creatures attack Harry there was no blo...

Q: What was the inspiration to create a Silent Hill game that is not canon with the other games in the series? Are there hopes to maybe establish other Silent Hill games congruent with Shattered Memories, or would you sooner continue with the existing continuity?

Really, really long interview. I give the guys a lot of credit for how much they answered, although I'm disappointed my question didn't make it. I thought it was a good one too. : /

Looks pretty good.

i don't have any sympathy for maria. she isn't real - just something else to cause suffering in james. that scene with her in the prison cell creeps me the fuck out and made me lose any sense of connection with her that i had before. it's terribly obvious that she's inhuman, and more some sort of t...

Did anyone else actually feel sorry for her? At first glance she could easily be lumped together as a twisted and violent machination of James along with the dozens of monsters you encounter through out the course of the game. However, Maria exhibits numerous times through out the game that while yo...

I wonder if these are all yes or no questions, or if there might be more answers depending on the question.
