It also could be because the fight takes place in a freezer, thus the cold doesn't allow James to properly focus on his shots. It's really a detail that could be interpreted in many ways and neither way is wrong.
@@eraykocer135 they're weak because since they are James' delusions and act as safeguards from the truth, they start to die after James learns that truth. same deal with what happens with ph and maria.
@@eraykocer135 It's more that he realizes that they are manifestations of his guilt and grief so by that later point in the game he's coming to terms with the reality of everything so the monsters no longer scare him.
@@eraykocer135 yes exactly, like the mannequin leg enemies most likely represent Mary's legs (probably part of the body that James liked?) and the Enemies that spew acid could represent Mary's sickness.

Exactly. The monsters are like his Guilt or Darkness personified and they were so aggresive as if they are trying to make James remember. Once he does, they don't have a purpose anymore so they feel weak.
@@daokoxd1145 'trying to make James remember" I'd say that was mostly PH's role; he was actively killing those monsters throughout the entire game (and maria) *because* they are delusions keeping James from the truth - the truth is actually what weakens/kills them, and its James acceptance that kills ph. I say that because Ito himself explained that "ph removes the visions from James' mind" so the reason why James shoots at ph from the closet is bc he couldn't handle reality/truth at that early stage, so he rejects ph from removing the delusions/visions by shooting at him.
@@devrizalalderon3174 I'd say because it was still too early for James to be aware of his guilt, which is largely unconscious. He fights him when he seems to make progress toward the truth, but at the same time it's kind of like he's fighting with himself. Ph exists as an unconscious desire for punishment, but he is also James' shadow or James' darkness that James keeps rejecting/denying.. until he accepts what he did was the truth. Then ph kills himself bc his role was fulfilled. I'm sure there are other reasons why, but I'm just one person with a possible answer
I was like "aww man, I wonder if the whispering actually exist here" until I heard it on my 6 hours of gameplay and I was like "YESS!! SO HAPPY THEY KEPT IT!"
You people always remember the whisper, but how many of you ever talk about the mourning that occurs when you're outside room 208 in the hotel? No one ever mentions it.
@@brandenlucero the crying sound when you walked near that room? I heard that, but most people don't see it as interesting as the whisper that is basically plays around with your ears...
As well as dead wife. And save Mary, save wife, there are a lot of combinations. In fact all of the original 19 combinations from the og game can be tried.
And when you fight Eddie he says “How many times do I have to kill you?”, which is probably Eddie speaking to his bully, but also works because there are five James in the freezer.
@@josephhernandez8004 Which ties into the strange photographs you can find scattered around the town. If you work out the code for them (count how many objects there are in the photo, match that to the respective letter in the caption, then use the number on the back of the photos to work out the order of said letters) they spell out "YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DECADES"
- when you first get the handgun, if you continue to hold the ADS button after you first reload, James will fire a shot accidentally without the player pressing the shoot button (this only happened to me playing on hard combat and hard puzzles settings) - there is a telephone number on a bulletinboard outside of the room where you kill the first enemy and get the radio. It's for a real life cleaning service in Indianapolis Indiana - in woodside apts, there's a bookshelf outside the bathroom where you first find Eddie. On it you can see medical dictionaries and a freen book with looks like the title "Deuteranopia" which is a type of color-blindness where the person can only see blues and golds, a possible reason why Eddie is dressed in all blues and khakis -earlier in Woodside Apts, beside the dead man in the chair, there's a book beside him on a small shelf titled "Pets under our garden" by Pablo Gato. I have no idea what it could mean -also in Woodside Apts, when you enter room 201 (you get the key from the 3 coins puzzle. It's the last room before you switch to the Otherworld for the first time), the first bedroom on your right is where the "Leave" ending takes place, where James is sitting and Mary is laying very sick on the bed having a conversation. You also hear a female gasp mini-jumpsxare when you enter this bedroom. (This is before you see Pyramid Head, get in the closet and shoot at him through the door) - The same gasp can be heard in a brick tunnel before Rosewater park, before you see Maria for the first time Last one -a very unsettling and hard to understand whisper that lasts about 5 seconds happens in blue creek Apts. Room 209. The room where you get the swan body part to put on the balance beam puzzle. I could not distinguish if it's actual words or just meant to be creepy and scary.
"Pets under our garden" sounds like a metaphor for dark secrets being buried deep underground. The pets stands for something we once held dear. The garden is the human mind. It sounds like shame and denial. Maybe its meant to portray a undignified end. Or our part in the death of the pet and trying to hide it.
@BlackChad792 very cool. I was also thinking about the line that Eddie says during his boss fight, about killing the dog and watching him chew his own guts, then shooting the owner? But I thought it was a farfetched comparison. Yours is much more relevant. Also searched for the book in real life, no results for the title or author.
The whisper is from the og, they kept the same. In the og it didn't always trigger, now it does. Many people tried to understand the ramblingd but apparently it doesn't say anything.
I believe in the original silent hill 2 pre release version Mary asks James "why did you kill me" in the same scene. Nice little reference to some cut content.
@@davenic2471 it's not cut, in the og the first time you play it's not clear what she says. It's only when you beat the game and play NG+ that you can hear her ask him clearly, "James, why did you kill me?"
I was soo looking forward to playing this. Then Hurricane Helene unexpectedly ripped the roof off my place and water came pouring in the house and I had to put everything into storage and I've been homeless for 3 weeks now. I'm just looking forward to playing this hopefully within the next 3 months or so
In the Bliss ending with the tape... Marys voice just sounds dull, like from a tape. When we see James, his voice sounds normal. Did we see him entering the world of the tape? Had he a moment of clarity when he picked up the cam?
In order to see this ending James drinks a bottle of white claudia before whatching the tape, a hallucinogenic drug referenced in other SH games. So this endig probably means its inside James head. Still not sure what the empty chair means. Did he die of an overdose or is it just symbolic that at that moment he is mentally in the tape world?
Its not just a hallucinogenic, but also a critical component in a lot of the cult's rituals which implies that it has supernatural properties as well. I personally think what happens is that the hallucinogenic properties of the drug combined with Silent Hill's weakened fabric of reality, and its power to manifest. James sort of "tripped out", wanting to be in the video with his wife so bad that it actually manifested into reality and caused him to get sucked into the tape (maybe it's like a micro dimension or alternate reality within the tape.).
@@ClassicDoomHD I think canon in this case is that he ODs and restarts his cycle in Silent Hill. Afterall, James only leaves when he accepts and forgives himself.
@@denusklausen3685to be fair, it’s debatable that he’s currently alive to being with. So the drug could very much have magical properties, in the limbo that might be this Silent Hill.
@@AbeM. I think all the subtext points to him being alive. He has died a bunch of times in the cycle though (which is why he finds his own corpses lying all over Silent Hill). He is in Samsara, where he subconsciously punishes himself until he finally lets go and forgives himself which ends the cycle. I'll give you that the ending leaves it ambiguous whether or not he actually leaves, but the ending is called "leave" and it would just be a very weird story to have it all be from the perspective of a dead person, when his goal is to find his dead wife.
If you save the game with Maria, she will ask James :"something wrong?" and James replies :"No it's fine."... The same thing happens in Bliss ending with Mary:"honey? did something happen?" and James:"no it's fine. everything's fine." and both the Bliss ending and save game screen show that We can see James from a place outside his world.
Man the bathroom scream really caught me off guard lmao ( 0:20) I never played silent hill 2 og,so i knew nothing about it. But I remember that scream in my playthrough of the remkake and being so damn confused,didnt know it came from the stall though,thought it was outside the bathroom.
Dude im with you! Same thing happened to me, i had the headset with 3d audio, this scare happened and my heart jumped out my chest, first time in my 30 years i had to pause the game to chill out!
I was playing that part last night whilst in a share screen with a few of my buddies over playstation. I kid you not, not a single one of us didn't need to step away for a minute or two to compose ourselves. I've never paused a game that fast.
The two new endings represent the denial and bargaining stages of grief, and damn, the music in the Bliss ending hits so fucking hard, like circling a drain.
A really cool detail i found was when you are in the brookhaven hospital otherworld, if you go to room C5 you can hear marias breathing and her heartbeat. Maria isnt actually there in the room with you, but she is in the real world resting as you look for laura. no idea what this could mean, could just be a cool little hint but it only happens in room C5 and stops as soon as you leave the room.
It was probably a sound James heard a lot when he visited Mary in the hospice. mary could have been using a ventilator at some point during her treatment
@@craftycloud Even this comment you made is actually proof that most people understand some things from their asses. We are looking for a meaning in everything. And sometimes things really get out of hand.
So I will mention some more. In the game there are some repeating license plates. Some of them, if not all, are also references to something. For example 2 of them are references to New Testament. One is EPHE432 - Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Another is COR11673 - Corinthians 16:13 - "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." I bet there are much more hidden stuff.
There is the quote "thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is grievous" which i believe is jeremiah 30:12 and I think the context for that quote is beautiful for silent hill considering that the bruise and wound the Bible speaks of is the sins of judah who have been so damaged they cannot be cured with an eventual message of redemption and restoration through the path of god. A good similarity between James, Mary and his path to redemption
My theory is that since the monsters are the manifestations of James Guilt and were aggresive as if they are trying to make him remember. Once James remembers the truth, they stop or feel weak since their purpose is over.
This was no jokes one of my favorite moments of the game, because I literally FELT it to be this way, without even knowing that they suddenly won't attack anymore. But the whole story progression and how James slowly started to realize that this whole freak show was most likely not fully real, sorta gave me the feeling at this point of slowly pulling the plug of the power for all the monsters and what not. It was so much at this point, so much happened and many things, that didn't make any sense at all for the story being still a "real thing", which James slowly started to realize, that it felt natural to me, that at this point suddenly the monsters had no power anymore. And I felt that, but then when I realized it's actually the case and they can't attack anymore and are weak, I was stunned. What a brilliant game. Can't believe I didn't play this growing up. But hey, I don't mind. Now Ive played my personal game of the year, if not decade.
Detail 9: she actually asks "Why did you kill me, James" , it was in the original as well (under the tunnel where you fight first monster) but we had to put the recording through programs to make it clear, in remake you hear it in the game
451 began with System Shock and only showed up in games by the same devs (System Shock 2 due to being a sequel, BioShock due to being same devs as SS2, Dishonored and Deus Ex due to former SS1 devs) and then other games began doing it. But initially it was a reference to Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
Seems like the devs still leaned on James getting a bittersweet ending. In the original, it wasn't outright confirmed, but James disappeared in Silent Hill. He never escaped. Some people theorized that the canon ending was the "In Water" and took his own life, or that he was stuck in in Silent Hill and experiencing the events of the game on repeat, cause as seen in the Maria ending, he never truly changed. The remake gave us a different perspective. Maybe he chose that fake reality where he's with mary still on their honeymoon. Either way, he's lost to the town. I don't think I remember any protagonist in the franchise that got a good ending. Harry died, Heather is stuck in DBD, James disappeared, etc...
@@Simply_better22343 Dead By Daylight Lore about Heather: Caring and impulsive, Cheryl Mason, previously known as Heather, attempted to rebuild her life after the tragic death of her adoptive father, Harry Mason. While she had freed herself from the religious cult that pursued her since birth, she was shackled by the guilt of her father's death. A darkness punished her every night under the guise of abominable nightmares. To ease her conscience, she volunteered at a crisis intervention centre for troubled youth. Three months later, she aced training and could answer the crisis line without supervision. Yet little could have prepared her for the first call. All she heard was static. The air thickened as black fumes rose from the ground and suddenly she heard the voice of a woman - someone she thought she'd never hear from again. Why do you cling to this corrupt world? You know that only God can save us. It couldn't be her - Claudia was dead. Suddenly, the world spun and she dropped to her knees, nauseous. Hot bile travelled up her throat and she retched warm blood on the floor. Then the spinning stopped as swiftly as it began. Cheryl looked up and saw she was somewhere else. A cold, hopeless place.
Absolutely love this game! The enemies are afraid of him, couldn’t believe it myself neither, the amount of Easter eggs and tiny details are amazing!! Great video
I’m currently writing a review for the game at the moment and your videos have helped me find so much more than I ever noticed my first time round, I’ll be sure to give you props for all the amazing finds 🙌 the one at 2:56 I noticed at the end of my playthrough and thought it was a genius touch !
Of all the details of this game, I love the multiple endings the best. That's truly how I feel like life is depending on the things you do and one of the more haunting aspects of the game to me personally. Wish this remake had a PT reference though.
In detail 5 at 1:35, bellow Robbie the Rabbit's easter egg, there is also the "Three Peaks Tours" which is probably a nod to the Twin Peaks TV show (the logo is very similar to Twin Peaks Sheriff Department).
omg im so ashamed. ive been a silent hill fan since i was 12 (im 35 now), and one thing you said made me realise something i never did. when you said the scene in the bathroom (in the beginning of the game) was James looking at his hand as he just killed his wife, I was still under the impression he killed her 3 years ago. Where in fact (correct me if im wrong) she's been suffering with the disease for 3 years and him going to Silent Hill, he just killed her before going there. And her body is at the back seat. And he went through all that, to finally go back to the car, sit inside, look at her corpse, and then kill himself... I never realise this till you mentioned that beginning scene O.O my mind is blown. and no wonder laura said she just met marry few days ago or whatever. it makes sense now...
James does not kill himself. If you got the 'water' ending, that's not the default/canon one. I've consulted various wikis and the canon ending is the 'Leave' one, where James and Laura leave silent hill together, James possibly adopting her later on as she is an orphan.
Yea I always thought he was lying to himself when his wife died 3 when actuality he kill here like a few hours before he arrived in silent hill. That is how I interpreted it considering how delusional James is.
It actually makes Maria along with the new added ending, make the game a lot more interesting, since if Mary's body is in the back seat and a new added ending is about using the town to bring her back to life, it adds a almost ironic but sad twist to Maria's character as she was born from this wish to have Mary back and is even James ideal version of Mary, shows off more leg, more flirtatious and forward, and considering in the og game you play as her for a side story, my guess is while not exactly a human by traditional means, she is still a living sentient being almost like Cheryl was from SH 1, more then just a creation of the town and a person in their own right, but was still rejected over the wife he himself killed, not to mention also then killed by James herself.
I always thought the radio static from Mary was "Why did you kill me" instead of "Did you kill me". I imagine she knew it was him, considering he was the only person with her in her final moments and they had no other family in the home. It's cool to see other interpretations of it!
I never knew the enemies actually gets weaker after you watch the tape, implying that his guilt is disappearing as he started to accept what he has done to Mary.
The way I see it is a bit different. Before that point, they were the monsters. But once James and the player realize the truth, they become scared of him... James has become the scary monster...
@@misternuggets6604 man, this is why I LOVED the bathroom mirror scene... James sees himself as an emotionless person, a monster who had just killed his loved ones.
The bathroom jumpscare made me go "OH FUCK YOU I REMEMBER THAT!" lmao Another that I'm unsure if it's a mistake or like the guilt one, Mary's letter to Laura says she wanted to adopt her on the page but when you read it it changes the wording and even adds an extra sentence. Noticed it last night when I finally beat it.
@@Gmanawesomeness Noticed it by complete accident. Since she has a voice over reading it saying the other stuff, but I went to read it again to pay more attention to the words and used "read" but as I was gonna put it away my eyes caught the word "adopt" on the paper, so used read again to compare. I think this one MIGHT be an accident because the voice over also read the changed version but they left the original text on the physical page? Anyway, now I'm gonna be looking more carefully at the physical item texts more.
I love both of the new endings. Stillness was really nice, and it made my cry. It was so beautiful having Mary come back to give James one last small conversation. It was very short but powerful, so little was said but there was so much emotion in it. I love Bliss too because it feels like a happy ending after he finally came to terms with everything. I have a theory that this game is a time loop after the OG and that's why all the new items spawn in the second playthrough and it's why the glimpses of the past exist. It also is hinted at outside the manor before going the Heaven's Night, James asks Maria if she's been inside before and she says something along the lines of "I don't know, but it feels familiar" and it's why I like the Bliss ending. It's like James finally gets to accept his wrongdoings fully and is able to escape this hell he's been trapped in. The only issue with this theory is it then suggests James didn't fully come to terms with what happened in the OG endings, not really sure how to explain that. This is just a strong feeling I have, I seriously feel like this is the case. Too many things stuck out to me in the game to just be mere easter eggs you know? Usually they dont put an easter egg in a game mere moments after the last so I feel like it points to something bigger. Like maybe this will be a theme for sh3 remake if they do that. I can imagine some fun stuff they could do if this time loop theory is actually a thing the devs had in mind. Like, imagine if in some sections of 3 remake they give you back the camera angles for a couple atmospheric parts just to mess with you. Like the hospital bathroom with the giant mirror. They could totally do something like that if they wanna do a 3 remake at some point in a similar vein to 2 remake but with time loops being a theme.
@@chinpallatea8007 Most likely this. Probably to stop any unwanted interactions or funky behaviour between the nurses and maria. Likely easier to just prevent the nurses from entering the room than to specifically set up behaviour for that one particular instance.
Maria is Mary. Just in a more sexual form. The nurses cared for Mary when she had cancer (it’s implied that’s what she had. Likely metastatic lung cancer). The nurses cared for Mary and since Maria is Mary, it makes sense why the nurses won’t attack her
i noticed detail 10 today on a playthrough, the way the nurse seems like shes about to attack and just stumbles over caught me by surprise, i remember joking saying... "did i fart or something?
Heres a detail that no one has caught yet. After you get the flashlite and look at the mannequin with Mary's clothes the mannequin is not centered like every other singke thing you insoect in the game, meaning they want you to look at what is past it at the vanity mirror. Whats on the vanity mirror? And mannequin head, and the shadow is covering its mouth. Even though the nose is not overed i think ittis inplying James smothered his wife, OR that he silenced her verbal abuse because he killed her.
I thought the bathroom scream was originally in the 3rd game but I wasn't sure so every bathroom I walked in I was thinking is there gonna be a scream, then it happened and I still crapped my pants 😂
I think there are references to all the mainline games up to Origins. I haven't played enough of Downpour to know if there was anything from that, but one of the paintings in the game is the house from Silent Hill 1. There is an apartment with chained doors, representing 4. There is also a semi truck in the game. Its not the same nor does it have a payload, but it is the only semi truck in the game and I think its a nod to Origins.
There are references to Walter Sullivan, the central character in 4, as well. His gravestone and a newspaper about the twins he killed, at least one more I'm forgetting I think.
So, have there been any good theories as to what happens in that last ending you show? Are we witnessing James in a loop? Is this what he experienced before the start of the game, and when the light leaves his eyes, he is yet again forgetting that he just killed her, and it's just his projection of her interacting with him - meantime as they've had confirmed by Konami Mary's body actually IS in that back seat? Are we witnessing James repeating the cycle? Or is there a better idea on it yet?
My head canon is that in the Stillness ending, James truly accepts what he did, which is why he hears Mary forgiving him and saying she’ll wait for him. So James will live on instead of driving off the cliff, waiting to hopefully reunite with his wife someday
@@Ivan-zc5fb No they aren't, you still get the in water ending with it, you hear the vehicle and the crash, the car splashing in the water, then the letter narration.
@@shawnwolf5961 in new ending James is letting go his past, he forgave himself, in car that he driven of - his dead wife. He finaly go out of loop of misery. In old ending he just kill himself, just to be reborned for another loop in Silint Hill.
Omg, this aim shaking for Eddie's fighting is so creative! I don't remember if any video games have had this level of details except maybe Zelda BOTW/TOTK!
I have to say, I was so wrong about Bloober Team messing up the remake. Yes, there are minor things like you have to press X three times until James finally jumps or having to grab into 4 holes to get items you need. Or moving those boxes pixel perfect to proceed. Yes, I get it. But... I am so glad what Bloober did with this remake. I even Platinum'ed it this week. Yes, it was a chore to find all 68 notes and one note even swaps place in NG+ and I didn't know that. Bloober, hats off, you did an amazing job remaking and reimagining the original. I was very sceptical in the beginning but I really like the remake. Although there are some design choices I just can't support like Angela's face. She looks way too young. There is a reason why 17 years old Angela looks so much older in the original, it was intentional. But nonetheless, they also did an amazing job with her background. And Eddie? Yes, he's fat but they kind of overdid it with his face.
My first playthrough in the game, I got the bathroom jumpscare without knowing that it was even in the original game. It scared me so bad that I paused the game for about a minute or two to calm myself down.
I love the detail with James finger being on the trigger of the firearm. While you should have your finger off the trigger at all times unless you are intending to shoot. Most people who generally don’t have any firearm experience will naturally put their finger on the trigger, showcasing that James is just a regular dude and not someone who is generally experienced with handling firearms.
I have to at I played it when I was i think 14 the first time 2001 version, was a resident fan and that prison game "the suffering". Either way I haven't felt uncomfortable in a horror game in years and this bit the spot I've thought was long gone.
Detail 13 - I was thinking about that and in first scene his hand are shaking (he kill for the first time recently), and after killing Eddie - they are not anymore. So he understand, that it happened before
I love seeing these .. I am surprised that most SH fans didn't get the 3yrs vs body the car. James says Mary died 3 years ago because she was dead to him the moment they learned about her disease. Laura only turn 8 a week from now and Mary wrote the letter to leave it with the nurse before Laura's birthday. According to all the facts [besides James wrong recollection]... Mary is only dead a few days ago .. if not the day before the drive to SH .. which explains why he was looking at his hand .. grasping the reality in the bathroom and shaking. He just killed his wife.
Tye stillness and in water ending are almost exactly 1-1 for James except the very end when he sees the letter instead of mary covered in the back seat. Stillness lets us see that convo WITH Mary.
They don't attack him because James alredy knows the truth , the monsters exists to try to stop James from the truth so they don't have anything to do at the end
Detail Number 8 - I meant to say the bugs start moving not stop*
What was that maria easter egg with nurse
yeah we knew what you meant, no biggie~
Literally witnessing the light fade from his eyes at the end is so incredibly chilling...
It is. Nice catch.
I think the crosshair shaking in the Eddie boss fight might just be James' apprehension to attacking another human
It also could be because the fight takes place in a freezer, thus the cold doesn't allow James to properly focus on his shots. It's really a detail that could be interpreted in many ways and neither way is wrong.
He had experience with wife though

And when you fight Eddie he says “How many times do I have to kill you?”, which is probably Eddie speaking to his bully, but also works because there are five James in the freezer.

- there is a telephone number on a bulletinboard outside of the room where you kill the first enemy and get the radio.
It's for a real life cleaning service in Indianapolis Indiana
- in woodside apts, there's a bookshelf outside the bathroom where you first find Eddie. On it you can see medical dictionaries and a freen book with looks like the title "Deuteranopia" which is a type of color-blindness where the person can only see blues and golds, a possible reason why Eddie is dressed in all blues and khakis
-earlier in Woodside Apts, beside the dead man in the chair, there's a book beside him on a small shelf titled "Pets under our garden" by Pablo Gato. I have no idea what it could mean
-also in Woodside Apts, when you enter room 201 (you get the key from the 3 coins puzzle. It's the last room before you switch to the Otherworld for the first time), the first bedroom on your right is where the "Leave" ending takes place, where James is sitting and Mary is laying very sick on the bed having a conversation. You also hear a female gasp mini-jumpsxare when you enter this bedroom. (This is before you see Pyramid Head, get in the closet and shoot at him through the door)
- The same gasp can be heard in a brick tunnel before Rosewater park, before you see Maria for the first time
Last one
-a very unsettling and hard to understand whisper that lasts about 5 seconds happens in blue creek Apts. Room 209. The room where you get the swan body part to put on the balance beam puzzle. I could not distinguish if it's actual words or just meant to be creepy and scary.
Green book* not freen book lol
"Pets under our garden" sounds like a metaphor for dark secrets being buried deep underground. The pets stands for something we once held dear. The garden is the human mind. It sounds like shame and denial. Maybe its meant to portray a undignified end. Or our part in the death of the pet and trying to hide it.
@BlackChad792 very cool. I was also thinking about the line that Eddie says during his boss fight, about killing the dog and watching him chew his own guts, then shooting the owner? But I thought it was a farfetched comparison. Yours is much more relevant.
Also searched for the book in real life, no results for the title or author.
Oh god, I thought I had accidentally fired the gun, it made me jump to the ceiling hahahhahahah, I felt both dumb and embarrassed
The whisper is from the og, they kept the same. In the og it didn't always trigger, now it does. Many people tried to understand the ramblingd but apparently it doesn't say anything.
In detail 9, she's actually asking why he killed her
And left her
I believe in the original silent hill 2 pre release version Mary asks James "why did you kill me" in the same scene. Nice little reference to some cut content.
@@davenic2471 it's not cut, in the og the first time you play it's not clear what she says. It's only when you beat the game and play NG+ that you can hear her ask him clearly, "James, why did you kill me?"
Because she was suffering from terminal cancer.
8:55 where she caresses his face killed me 😢😢😢😢😢 he looks so sad & confused as to why he did it
I was soo looking forward to playing this.

In the Bliss ending with the tape...
Marys voice just sounds dull, like from a tape. When we see James, his voice sounds normal. Did we see him entering the world of the tape? Had he a moment of clarity when he picked up the cam?
In order to see this ending James drinks a bottle of white claudia before whatching the tape, a hallucinogenic drug referenced in other SH games. So this endig probably means its inside James head. Still not sure what the empty chair means. Did he die of an overdose or is it just symbolic that at that moment he is mentally in the tape world?
Its not just a hallucinogenic, but also a critical component in a lot of the cult's rituals which implies that it has supernatural properties as well. I personally think what happens is that the hallucinogenic properties of the drug combined with Silent Hill's weakened fabric of reality, and its power to manifest. James sort of "tripped out", wanting to be in the video with his wife so bad that it actually manifested into reality and caused him to get sucked into the tape (maybe it's like a micro dimension or alternate reality within the tape.).
@@ClassicDoomHD I think canon in this case is that he ODs and restarts his cycle in Silent Hill. Afterall, James only leaves when he accepts and forgives himself.
@@denusklausen3685to be fair, it’s debatable that he’s currently alive to being with.
So the drug could very much have magical properties, in the limbo that might be this Silent Hill.
@@AbeM. I think all the subtext points to him being alive. He has died a bunch of times in the cycle though (which is why he finds his own corpses lying all over Silent Hill). He is in Samsara, where he subconsciously punishes himself until he finally lets go and forgives himself which ends the cycle. I'll give you that the ending leaves it ambiguous whether or not he actually leaves, but the ending is called "leave" and it would just be a very weird story to have it all be from the perspective of a dead person, when his goal is to find his dead wife.
If you save the game with Maria, she will ask James :"something wrong?" and James replies :"No it's fine."... The same thing happens in Bliss ending with Mary:"honey? did something happen?" and James:"no it's fine. everything's fine." and both the Bliss ending and save game screen show that We can see James from a place outside his world.
Man the bathroom scream really caught me off guard lmao ( 0:20) I never played silent hill 2 og,so i knew nothing about it. But I remember that scream in my playthrough of the remkake and being so damn confused,didnt know it came from the stall though,thought it was outside the bathroom.
Dude that scream with 3d audio felt like it was coming from inside my room it scared the absolute hell out of me .
Bro, I remembered that from the original, and it STILL scared the absolute shit out of me.
Dude im with you! Same thing happened to me, i had the headset with 3d audio, this scare happened and my heart jumped out my chest, first time in my 30 years i had to pause the game to chill out!
I was playing that part last night whilst in a share screen with a few of my buddies over playstation. I kid you not, not a single one of us didn't need to step away for a minute or two to compose ourselves. I've never paused a game that fast.
Glad to see us grown men still get scared like little girls 🤣🤦🏻
The two new endings represent the denial and bargaining stages of grief, and damn, the music in the Bliss ending hits so fucking hard, like circling a drain.
A really cool detail i found was when you are in the brookhaven hospital otherworld, if you go to room C5 you can hear marias breathing and her heartbeat. Maria isnt actually there in the room with you, but she is in the real world resting as you look for laura. no idea what this could mean, could just be a cool little hint but it only happens in room C5 and stops as soon as you leave the room.
she's in the fog world*
the real world is just the town being all business as usual
@@thenicobossy yeah mb i couldnt think of what to call it lol
It was probably a sound James heard a lot when he visited Mary in the hospice. mary could have been using a ventilator at some point during her treatment
This also happened in the original.
His aim is shaking when he fights Eddie because he's hesitant to shoot a human person
i just thought it was because it's cold lmao
@@craftycloud Even this comment you made is actually proof that most people understand some things from their asses. We are looking for a meaning in everything. And sometimes things really get out of hand.
@@farukozturk5564 you don't need to be rude lol, it could also be because of the cold
i have immense respect for the developers for adding all these details. GOTY
So I will mention some more. In the game there are some repeating license plates. Some of them, if not all, are also references to something. For example 2 of them are references to New Testament.
One is EPHE432 - Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
Another is COR11673 - Corinthians 16:13 - "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."
I bet there are much more hidden stuff.
Wow that’s so cool
There is the quote "thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is grievous" which i believe is jeremiah 30:12 and I think the context for that quote is beautiful for silent hill considering that the bruise and wound the Bible speaks of is the sins of judah who have been so damaged they cannot be cured with an eventual message of redemption and restoration through the path of god. A good similarity between James, Mary and his path to redemption
"why did you kill me?"it's in the og too
Detail 10, the monsters know who the real monster is.
My theory is that since the monsters are the manifestations of James Guilt and were aggresive as if they are trying to make him remember. Once James remembers the truth, they stop or feel weak since their purpose is over.
@@daokoxd1145 That theory fits to the sentence he says to the two pyramid heads: "I don´t need you anymore".
james not a monster wtf
@@ant1crewhe is, he killed his wife
@@ant1crew might wanna review the story.
The ending where James finds himself inside the recording is simply fantastic
I was so mad and happy the bathroom jumpscare was still there lol it scared the hell out of me in my playthrough
This was no jokes one of my favorite moments of the game, because I literally FELT it to be this way, without even knowing that they suddenly won't attack anymore. But the whole story progression and how James slowly started to realize that this whole freak show was most likely not fully real, sorta gave me the feeling at this point of slowly pulling the plug of the power for all the monsters and what not. It was so much at this point, so much happened and many things, that didn't make any sense at all for the story being still a "real thing", which James slowly started to realize, that it felt natural to me, that at this point suddenly the monsters had no power anymore. And I felt that, but then when I realized it's actually the case and they can't attack anymore and are weak, I was stunned. What a brilliant game. Can't believe I didn't play this growing up. But hey, I don't mind. Now Ive played my personal game of the year, if not decade.
The monsters stopped attacking James after he admitted what he did to Mary is so powerful to me. Even the monsters are scared of him
Detail 9: she actually asks "Why did you kill me, James" , it was in the original as well (under the tunnel where you fight first monster) but we had to put the recording through programs to make it clear, in remake you hear it in the game
4:52 James: oh look cool key Maria: James help me
4:51 minutes... lol nice
451 began with System Shock and only showed up in games by the same devs (System Shock 2 due to being a sequel, BioShock due to being same devs as SS2, Dishonored and Deus Ex due to former SS1 devs) and then other games began doing it.
But initially it was a reference to Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
Not true, the door code to their studio was 0451, the book matching it was a coincidence
Another : Angela's nails are bitten .
Seems like the devs still leaned on James getting a bittersweet ending. In the original, it wasn't outright confirmed, but James disappeared in Silent Hill. He never escaped. Some people theorized that the canon ending was the "In Water" and took his own life, or that he was stuck in in Silent Hill and experiencing the events of the game on repeat, cause as seen in the Maria ending, he never truly changed. The remake gave us a different perspective. Maybe he chose that fake reality where he's with mary still on their honeymoon. Either way, he's lost to the town. I don't think I remember any protagonist in the franchise that got a good ending. Harry died, Heather is stuck in DBD, James disappeared, etc...
What does DBD mean?
@@Simply_better22343 Dead By Daylight. The Silent Hill DLC added Heather in the game along with a backstory of what happened to her after SH3.
@@Simply_better22343 Dead By Daylight Lore about Heather:
Caring and impulsive, Cheryl Mason, previously known as Heather, attempted to rebuild her life after the tragic death of her adoptive father, Harry Mason.
While she had freed herself from the religious cult that pursued her since birth, she was shackled by the guilt of her father's death. A darkness punished her every night under the guise of abominable nightmares.
To ease her conscience, she volunteered at a crisis intervention centre for troubled youth. Three months later, she aced training and could answer the crisis line without supervision. Yet little could have prepared her for the first call. All she heard was static. The air thickened as black fumes rose from the ground and suddenly she heard the voice of a woman - someone she thought she'd never hear from again.
Why do you cling to this corrupt world? You know that only God can save us.
It couldn't be her - Claudia was dead. Suddenly, the world spun and she dropped to her knees, nauseous. Hot bile travelled up her throat and she retched warm blood on the floor. Then the spinning stopped as swiftly as it began. Cheryl looked up and saw she was somewhere else. A cold, hopeless place.
@@gamingnewsandupdatesph I'm not sure if that's really canon to her
@@Simply_better22343 its not really. But its an official story from Konami so its the closest thing we have.
Absolutely love this game! The enemies are afraid of him, couldn’t believe it myself neither, the amount of Easter eggs and tiny details are amazing!! Great video
For detail 10, I like to think that monsters don't attack you because they're now scared of you. They've realized you are a bigger monster than them!
I’m currently writing a review for the game at the moment and your videos have helped me find so much more than I ever noticed my first time round, I’ll be sure to give you props for all the amazing finds 🙌 the one at 2:56 I noticed at the end of my playthrough and thought it was a genius touch !
Of all the details of this game, I love the multiple endings the best. That's truly how I feel like life is depending on the things you do and one of the more haunting aspects of the game to me personally. Wish this remake had a PT reference though.
In detail 5 at 1:35, bellow Robbie the Rabbit's easter egg, there is also the "Three Peaks Tours" which is probably a nod to the Twin Peaks TV show (the logo is very similar to Twin Peaks Sheriff Department).
Good catch! The creators of Silent Hill were undeniably influenced by Twin Peaks.

@@Gmanawesomeness Oh wow, good observation!
omg im so ashamed. ive been a silent hill fan since i was 12 (im 35 now), and one thing you said made me realise something i never did. when you said the scene in the bathroom (in the beginning of the game) was James looking at his hand as he just killed his wife, I was still under the impression he killed her 3 years ago. Where in fact (correct me if im wrong) she's been suffering with the disease for 3 years and him going to Silent Hill, he just killed her before going there. And her body is at the back seat. And he went through all that, to finally go back to the car, sit inside, look at her corpse, and then kill himself... I never realise this till you mentioned that beginning scene O.O my mind is blown. and no wonder laura said she just met marry few days ago or whatever. it makes sense now...
James does not kill himself. If you got the 'water' ending, that's not the default/canon one. I've consulted various wikis and the canon ending is the 'Leave' one, where James and Laura leave silent hill together, James possibly adopting her later on as she is an orphan.
@@indonesiansasquatch4926 Masahiro Ito said there's no canon ending.
She got the disease 3 years ago, James subconscious considers that to be the moment she died.
Yea I always thought he was lying to himself when his wife died 3 when actuality he kill here like a few hours before he arrived in silent hill. That is how I interpreted it considering how delusional James is.
It actually makes Maria along with the new added ending, make the game a lot more interesting, since if Mary's body is in the back seat and a new added ending is about using the town to bring her back to life, it adds a almost ironic but sad twist to Maria's character as she was born from this wish to have Mary back and is even James ideal version of Mary, shows off more leg, more flirtatious and forward, and considering in the og game you play as her for a side story, my guess is while not exactly a human by traditional means, she is still a living sentient being almost like Cheryl was from SH 1, more then just a creation of the town and a person in their own right, but was still rejected over the wife he himself killed, not to mention also then killed by James herself.
1:06
Nurse: Whoa back up ladies give them some room
At 8:56 her hand is awkward... Middle finger significantly shorter than index and ring finger... Weird detail. 😬😬
I always thought the radio static from Mary was "Why did you kill me" instead of "Did you kill me". I imagine she knew it was him, considering he was the only person with her in her final moments and they had no other family in the home. It's cool to see other interpretations of it!
1:11 that's actually kind of cute

Detail number 9: Maria asks James WHY she killed him, not if he did.
I never knew the enemies actually gets weaker after you watch the tape, implying that his guilt is disappearing as he started to accept what he has done to Mary.
The way I see it is a bit different. Before that point, they were the monsters. But once James and the player realize the truth, they become scared of him...
James has become the scary monster...
@@misternuggets6604 man, this is why I LOVED the bathroom mirror scene...
James sees himself as an emotionless person, a monster who had just killed his loved ones.
Please make a video about all the Mary's sobbing we hear throughout the game
Her sobbing and heavy breathing behind James all throughout the game. Especially at unexpected times too. It’s quite interesting.
@@celes42017Yeah you hear it in the town at night
The bathroom jumpscare made me go "OH FUCK YOU I REMEMBER THAT!" lmao
Another that I'm unsure if it's a mistake or like the guilt one, Mary's letter to Laura says she wanted to adopt her on the page but when you read it it changes the wording and even adds an extra sentence. Noticed it last night when I finally beat it.
@@MaRaMa-ARTZ good catch, haven’t heard anyone mention this yet. I’m going to look for it on my third playthrough
@@Gmanawesomeness Noticed it by complete accident. Since she has a voice over reading it saying the other stuff, but I went to read it again to pay more attention to the words and used "read" but as I was gonna put it away my eyes caught the word "adopt" on the paper, so used read again to compare. I think this one MIGHT be an accident because the voice over also read the changed version but they left the original text on the physical page? Anyway, now I'm gonna be looking more carefully at the physical item texts more.
That restroom jumpscare was the only time i was terrified when playing the game. Every restroom after that had me like "ah shit here we go again"
0:20 That's hilarious because I convinced myself I just imagined the screaming.
I love both of the new endings. Stillness was really nice, and it made my cry. It was so beautiful having Mary come back to give James one last small conversation. It was very short but powerful, so little was said but there was so much emotion in it.
I love Bliss too because it feels like a happy ending after he finally came to terms with everything. I have a theory that this game is a time loop after the OG and that's why all the new items spawn in the second playthrough and it's why the glimpses of the past exist. It also is hinted at outside the manor before going the Heaven's Night, James asks Maria if she's been inside before and she says something along the lines of "I don't know, but it feels familiar" and it's why I like the Bliss ending.
It's like James finally gets to accept his wrongdoings fully and is able to escape this hell he's been trapped in. The only issue with this theory is it then suggests James didn't fully come to terms with what happened in the OG endings, not really sure how to explain that. This is just a strong feeling I have, I seriously feel like this is the case. Too many things stuck out to me in the game to just be mere easter eggs you know? Usually they dont put an easter egg in a game mere moments after the last so I feel like it points to something bigger. Like maybe this will be a theme for sh3 remake if they do that.
I can imagine some fun stuff they could do if this time loop theory is actually a thing the devs had in mind. Like, imagine if in some sections of 3 remake they give you back the camera angles for a couple atmospheric parts just to mess with you. Like the hospital bathroom with the giant mirror. They could totally do something like that if they wanna do a 3 remake at some point in a similar vein to 2 remake but with time loops being a theme.
Detail 13 Just PERFECT
Why do nurses don't attack when Maria is present?
Because the nurses cared for her while she was alive.
I think its more of a video game logic. Kind of like a save room, enemies dont really pass it, but if they do they just leave.
Probably because the room is considered a non-hostile zone where the player is safe from danger
@@chinpallatea8007 Most likely this. Probably to stop any unwanted interactions or funky behaviour between the nurses and maria. Likely easier to just prevent the nurses from entering the room than to specifically set up behaviour for that one particular instance.
Maria is Mary. Just in a more sexual form.
The nurses cared for Mary when she had cancer (it’s implied that’s what she had. Likely metastatic lung cancer). The nurses cared for Mary and since Maria is Mary, it makes sense why the nurses won’t attack her
after James know the truth, check the red paper to save game. he's not stare back at you anymore, he looks away.
i noticed detail 10 today on a playthrough, the way the nurse seems like shes about to attack and just stumbles over caught me by surprise, i remember joking saying... "did i fart or something?
Heres a detail that no one has caught yet.
After you get the flashlite and look at the mannequin with Mary's clothes the mannequin is not centered like every other singke thing you insoect in the game, meaning they want you to look at what is past it at the vanity mirror.
Whats on the vanity mirror? And mannequin head, and the shadow is covering its mouth. Even though the nose is not overed i think ittis inplying James smothered his wife, OR that he silenced her verbal abuse because he killed her.
I love how the nurses are very considerate of James and Maria's privacy and just excuses themselves out of the room 😂
In detail 9 it's actually "why did you kill me?" If it's supposed to be the exact same line from sh2 og.
Think you’ll make a video with all the flashbacks in the game and compare them to the original?
Working on it!
It'll be a 20 part series 😆
Pablo Gato - "Gato" means cat. Maybe is a reference to Pet Cemetary, IDK
I thought the bathroom scream was originally in the 3rd game but I wasn't sure so every bathroom I walked in I was thinking is there gonna be a scream, then it happened and I still crapped my pants 😂
I never knew any game had a bathroom scream, it made me scream, I knew 3 had someone knock back in the stall.
Great work from Bloober.
I think there are references to all the mainline games up to Origins. I haven't played enough of Downpour to know if there was anything from that, but one of the paintings in the game is the house from Silent Hill 1. There is an apartment with chained doors, representing 4. There is also a semi truck in the game. Its not the same nor does it have a payload, but it is the only semi truck in the game and I think its a nod to Origins.
There are references to Walter Sullivan, the central character in 4, as well. His gravestone and a newspaper about the twins he killed, at least one more I'm forgetting I think.
@@skeNGk That’s how it was in the OG, SH2 builds SH4’s story.
About 0:54 there some "save rooms" in the game, where enemies wont enter the room (another one are clock puzzle room and coin puzzle room).
That bathroom jump scare got me bad lmao. Had my cool throughout the whole game but that one made me almost leap out of my chair
Bloober team really went crazy with The details In the remake, excited for the next remake IF there is gonna be one
The bathroom jump scare made me swing that pipe so fast 😂😂😂
Lol 4eeal 😂😂😂😂
I never played the OG but I just finished the game 3 days ago. And in detail 10 looks pretty neat to me
So, have there been any good theories as to what happens in that last ending you show? Are we witnessing James in a loop? Is this what he experienced before the start of the game, and when the light leaves his eyes, he is yet again forgetting that he just killed her, and it's just his projection of her interacting with him - meantime as they've had confirmed by Konami Mary's body actually IS in that back seat? Are we witnessing James repeating the cycle? Or is there a better idea on it yet?
My head canon is that in the Stillness ending, James truly accepts what he did, which is why he hears Mary forgiving him and saying she’ll wait for him. So James will live on instead of driving off the cliff, waiting to hopefully reunite with his wife someday
Some say it's the "In Water" ending with just extra steps. Implying James is about to drive into the lake again.
@@jatabo1574 they are wrong)
@@Ivan-zc5fb No they aren't, you still get the in water ending with it, you hear the vehicle and the crash, the car splashing in the water, then the letter narration.
@@shawnwolf5961 in new ending James is letting go his past, he forgave himself, in car that he driven of - his dead wife. He finaly go out of loop of misery. In old ending he just kill himself, just to be reborned for another loop in Silint Hill.
Detal 13 is amazing, makes perfect sense
Omg, this aim shaking for Eddie's fighting is so creative! I don't remember if any video games have had this level of details except maybe Zelda BOTW/TOTK!
That bathroom jumpscare got me so good i had to pause the game and tab out for a moment lol
I have to say, I was so wrong about Bloober Team messing up the remake. Yes, there are minor things like you have to press X three times until James finally jumps or having to grab into 4 holes to get items you need. Or moving those boxes pixel perfect to proceed. Yes, I get it.
But... I am so glad what Bloober did with this remake. I even Platinum'ed it this week. Yes, it was a chore to find all 68 notes and one note even swaps place in NG+ and I didn't know that.
Bloober, hats off, you did an amazing job remaking and reimagining the original. I was very sceptical in the beginning but I really like the remake.
Although there are some design choices I just can't support like Angela's face. She looks way too young. There is a reason why 17 years old Angela looks so much older in the original, it was intentional. But nonetheless, they also did an amazing job with her background.
And Eddie? Yes, he's fat but they kind of overdid it with his face.
i absolutely love the comments sections on silent hill videos.
My first playthrough in the game, I got the bathroom jumpscare without knowing that it was even in the original game. It scared me so bad that I paused the game for about a minute or two to calm myself down.
I love the detail with James finger being on the trigger of the firearm. While you should have your finger off the trigger at all times unless you are intending to shoot. Most people who generally don’t have any firearm experience will naturally put their finger on the trigger, showcasing that James is just a regular dude and not someone who is generally experienced with handling firearms.
Angela and Eddie are such an interesting character. I wonder why all three of them met at Silent Hill at the same time....
Detail 15, after the video stopped, the reflection on the TV display showing the real already-ruined hotel. Loved that..
02:52 Sarah busts on and shouts "You have no power over me" (respect to anyone who knows that reference)
All i can say after what SH2:RM was:
Welcome "back" to Silent hill
0:28 They put Dobby in Silent Hill ? 😅
I actually noticed the aim was different in the Eddie fight, I was like WTF is going on, why wont my rifle focus.
I have to at I played it when I was i think 14 the first time 2001 version, was a resident fan and that prison game "the suffering". Either way I haven't felt uncomfortable in a horror game in years and this bit the spot I've thought was long gone.
Detail 13 - I was thinking about that and in first scene his hand are shaking (he kill for the first time recently), and after killing Eddie - they are not anymore. So he understand, that it happened before
James looks more tired during his journey through Silent Hill.
This game has easily become the winner of horror games category in this year award, i wont go as far as GOTY of the year tho
You sure started a wave there buddy 😂😂😂😂😂
2:51 Just marking the part where the enemies become weak when you find out the truth.
Does anyone else hear the Banshee dashing / boost sound from the Halo series whenever James opens a door ?
I love seeing these .. I am surprised that most SH fans didn't get the 3yrs vs body the car. James says Mary died 3 years ago because she was dead to him the moment they learned about her disease. Laura only turn 8 a week from now and Mary wrote the letter to leave it with the nurse before Laura's birthday. According to all the facts [besides James wrong recollection]... Mary is only dead a few days ago .. if not the day before the drive to SH .. which explains why he was looking at his hand .. grasping the reality in the bathroom and shaking. He just killed his wife.
2:06 and he also racks the gun when he changes mags, wasting the round that was chambered (although the game doesn’t treated as such)
I love silent hill 2 for the details
0:47 Not just "guilt", but "of" as well.
think you should double check your spelling
What're you talking about? Everything I put is spelled correctly.
@@mikesbarrowproject8283 , it's missing 'or' not 'of.' Spelling issue in your post.
I'm hooting and hollaring throughout this video
Edit: I completely adore the two new endings with every fiber of my being
Stillness is such a beautiful ending I'd like to consider it the canon ending
Tye stillness and in water ending are almost exactly 1-1 for James except the very end when he sees the letter instead of mary covered in the back seat. Stillness lets us see that convo WITH Mary.
The Stillness here is cut, watch the full version where he jumps out of the car and lives on (no jokes).
instead of "Kill wife" you can spell "killl mary" too, and on both you can spell mary
such a cool and well made game
Hot damn I'm praying konami does 3 next 😭😭
They don't attack him because James alredy knows the truth , the monsters exists to try to stop James from the truth so they don't have anything to do at the end
Those nurses in Detail #4 are so polite. 😇
*Best remakes so far, I enjoy every single bit of it, lots of cheers for SH 2 Remake* ❤️
If anybody hasn’t it mentioned it yet; the fact that James has poor trigger discipline leads him to have a chance of misfiring the first time you ADS
