Re: when did you realize... *possible spoilers*
I can't really remember because it was back in 2001 (I was only like 8 back then).
But I think right after the video tape...I should have waited a few years before playing it. You don't really get most of the story if you are only 8 xD...

I didn't get it until after watching the video...maybe I should've paid more attention to the details...

Not until the end.. I never used to pay attention to the story in games much.

I'd love to say I was smart enough to know better, but I only found out after the tape. I remember feeling violated when he smothered her, and quickly turned the game off without saving it. I didn't play again for nearly a week because of the horrible connotations and just feelings of ick I got. The developers did a GREAT job with it.

Re: when did you realize... *possible spoilers*
I wouldn't really say I "figured it out" but the thought that James might have killed his wife did occur to me at the conversation he had with Angela after saving her from Abstract Daddy. I had heard a few comments floating around prior to playing the game that he killed her, but I had just assumed it was one of those random, false ramblings you always hear about in video game social circles and I didn't really give it much thought. Kind of like how I asked some guy I was talking to in school what happened at the end of RE3 and he said the police come and pick up Jill and take her home (which obviously wasn't the case).
Then when I watched the video I was thinking "Wow, guess it was true after all."

After the videotape (and even then I wasn't entirely sure) and then I thought that Mary had somehow survived.
On future play thoroughs I really couldn't understand why it took me so long.

Thats the beauty of it, the first playthrough you're oblivious to the fact but when you replay the clues are everywhere even the radio at the very start. Pure genuis

After the video tape
Re: when did you realize... *possible spoilers*
Not until after the video tape. I think SH2 was one of the last things that I never guessed would happen. It definitely caught me by surprise.
Re: when did you realize... *possible spoilers*
I had a feeling something wasn't right with the James/Mary relationship. But I have to admit, I didn't know he killed her until after the tape, and even then I was still a little confused.

Re: when did you realize... *possible spoilers*
I don't remember, i was pretty confused by the game in general in the first play through. The possibility probably appeared somewhere in the back of my mind at some point because it's not exactly an original twist.
I can't believe i earned 10 Silent Hill cash for this.

If I could remember who he was, I would go to his home and emasculate him personally.
Personally, I suspected it once I met Maria, but I didn't believe it until I saw it.

Re: when did you realize... *possible spoilers*
been a while since i played it. but i remember when he met maria thats the first time i thought of it. he gets a letter from his dead wife then meets someone who looks exactly like her. and later on that whole "i am, if you want me to be" scene just confirmed it. the video tape didnt surprise me at all to be honest.
