Silent Hill Heaven

Gotta give that theory props, though. It ignores what's inconvenient and twists everything toward its own ends (at this point, it's equally likely for Henry to be standing in line in a Seven-Eleven, imagining the whole game). However, it's a damn entertaining yarn.

I wouldn't be opposed to someone taking the game for a spin, with this in mind, for shits and giggles. Not one bit.

Is it what the developers had in mind? Certainly not. They certainly didn't trust our cognition and deduction this much in SH2 and 3, so why would The Room be so special?

Agreed. It only takes proof of Henry's robotic personality and when neccessary: it deviates facts between 'that's what he said/did' and 'that's what Henry imagined he said/did' for its own purpose.

Thanks for posting it, Aura :)

The theory did have some interesting points, imho, but as it has been mentioned, it simply ignores a lot of facts that prove it wrong or twists them so they go along with it. There were also some plausible ideas for the motivations/origins behind some of the actions - just that they rather applied to Walter, not Henry.
Still, it was an interesting read.

Yea, it's a fun theory. It'd make a good fanfic, but that's it.

It's still better than that "There are no alternate dimensions" afterbirth though.

Wow, you weren't kidding, were you?

So, it's a nice theory, I guess. Too bad it goes IN DIRECT CONTRAVENTION OF WORD OF GOD!!! The creators authorized an OFFICIAL guide to the background of Silent Hill, called The Book of Lost Memories, which IN DETAIL describes how WALTER killed all those people, and why. This whole theory was clearly well-thought-out, but it's entirely unnecessary, as an existing explanation that makes MUCH more sense already exists. Thank you, origamifreak64, but your princess is in another castle.

>The creators authorized an OFFICIAL guide to the background of Silent Hill, called The Book of Lost Memories, which IN DETAIL describes how WALTER killed all those people<
Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle doesn't cover SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM at all.

^ Maybe he/she was talking about that "Translated Memories" site?
I wouldn't know because that site is by fans for fans. I don't think it's a thing Konami calls "official". . .

It is a translation of official Konami material. It isn't something a few guys just made up.

Much of the content on the Web site Translated Memories is not from the official guide Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle. Things like "Another Crimson Tome" and "Victim Profiles" were on the now-defunct official SILENT HILL 4: THE ROOM Web site

>It isn't something a few guys just made up.<
True. However, some of the material in the "Victim Profiles" is entirely fabricated, notably the profiles for everyone after Joseph (whose name on the profile is actually only "J."). So all that information about Cynthia, Jasper, Andrew, Dick, Eileen and Henry is made up.

Oops, I meant "Translated Memories," not "Book of Lost Memories." My bad.

We should all say that something is in contravention of creator's intent from now on.

"In Water" is the most appropriate ending to Silent Hill 2.

Not true. The UFO endings are the true endings.

^ This. They connect all the games.

^No, MIRA connects the games. Dog Ending Is Best Ending. She abducted Travis, created Maria, and was revealed to be Cheryl Heather Mason's true form.

l rather like aura's take on it. it makes sense at parts. l know if l killed someone (especially as gruesome as some of the kills were) l wouldn't want to remember it. that said, l think that walter was the only killer and some supernatural shiz was going on. l would probably eat my duke nukem forever hat if l thought it was a 'dream.'

That wasn't MY take on it, and I wasn't supporting the idea that Henry is a killer because it's fucking retarded.

^oh! my bad. sorry. l guess once l got into the reading l forgot the intro. nice find, then?

Rude, but you've gotta admit, it's true. That idea is pretty retarded.
