Silent Hill Heaven

None of the endings for SH4 have been confirmed as canon yet, so that's totally up to future developers in that case. I prefer the "Escape" ending the most but I think the most realistic and compelling one is "Mother", with the dark spirits of room 302 continuing to spread terror...

A direct sequel to SH2 that I would like to see is grown-up Laura returning to Silent Hill to look for James and Maria/Mary, perhaps after she starts to have recurring nightmares about them. There could of course be other reasons for her returning to Silent Hill, but it would be interesting if Laura...

Scariest game for me to this very day is The Evil Within - It reawakened a dread from within the deepest part of my body that I didn't know was possible in adulthood. Before that, the scariest games for me used to be SH1 and SH4, and they're actually the only Silent Hill games that still manages to ...

I don't really get the impression from the interview that the original story was related to SH3's/Heather's themes. (Could have been, though.) I'm intrigued that they mentioned their original plan would have been the darkest story and may not have been approved by the ratings boards. Definitely piq...

Even twins born within seconds of each other sometimes refer to one as being the older brother/sister of the other. Being older than someone could quite literaly mean a few seconds or minutes. Back to the Midwich thing, I'm still not entirely sure if we can completely debunk it as being an all-girls...

Konami executives be rubbing 'em hands right now. I think that list is pretty fair and expected, I'm just a bit annoyed that both RE7 and RE: Village got so many votes since they don't feel like Resident Evil at all to me. Also not surprising to see that Dead Space is the only non-Japanese game to t...

>Ah, this one's different since Midwich does have boys' latrine.

The male teachers have to go somewhere separate, right?

Well, it's only funny if you imagine them hooking up the traditional way. According to the cult's beliefs however, it would mean Walter using magic to impregnate Alessa. It's unclear when that memo was written or by whom, but my guess is that it was written prior to Walter moving to Pleasant River a...

The different sects actually started to work together at some point, as mentioned in Red Diary - July 7 . It's further evidenced by Dahlia coming to visit Walter and encourage his reading although she was from the "opposing" cult. I do remember reading a funny theory somewhere that the dif...

In this particular case I think language is our best hint. When it comes to boys-only or girls-only orphanages/schools in both movies and real life, staff and people connected to them often refer to the children as either "boys" or "girls" in order to be specific. But when it com...

I wouldn't know about new monsters, but my guess is that we'll be getting a new major boss fight with Pyramid Head somewhere during the middle of the game. In the original there's technically only two boss fights with him, since the chasing sequences don't really count. One possible location for thi...

^I mean, we're not even sure if Townfall is a "game" at all in the traditional sense. It might be more of a story-based puzzle game similar to No Codes previous work.

I've always liked the idea of the power of the town spreading beyond Silent Hill, it always seemed like the natural evolution of the series. As long as the lore is there to back it up, I'm all for it.

Voice acting in video games have come a long way since the 2000s, but sometimes I do miss characters being voiced by lesser known individuals rather than big professional names.

>In Poland, Bars and Diners are very similar to each other and one can be called another.

Really? I lived in Poland for 8 months last year, and my biggest cultural shock was the unique design and interior of the bars/restaurants. Every place basically had their own cool concept.

^I'm just trying to make sense of it from a narrative point of view. I'm not against the idea of time loops in the Silent Hill universe per se (now-defunct P.T. did it), but I honestly see no benefit from having a secondary character experience time loops if there's basically no evidence for it besi...

Frankly I've gotten used to both film and game characters acting overly sad and depressed nowadays, so it was pretty expected to see James tremble and scream in the most melodramatic way possible.

Konami has never been that hard on deciding what's canon or not in the Silent Hill series, which is pretty refreshing (unlike Capcom who's claiming that both the originals and remakes of Resident Evil 1-4 takes place in the exact same timeline, lol).

Best part of Origins was the amusing realization that Travis was carrying around 15 television sets.

^I've been to bars of that size though, pretty cozy.
