- The darkest ending in the Silent Hill 2 Remake, "In Water" depicts James giving in to his grief and trauma, ultimately choosing death over life. I triggered this ending by always healing straight away and inspecting Angela's Knife during my playthrough.

The facial animations add a lot, but I REALLY wish they kept this line from the OG In Water ending: "Now I understand. The real reason I came to this town. I wonder what was I afraid of?"
Something about this line from the OG... it hit so hard when saying so little.
It's The way he says it for me
That seems too on the nose. That’s like saying “now I know why the red pyramid thing was chasing me. I’m actually evil and he was trying to punish me.”
This is not the bad ending. The actual bad endings are Maria and Rebirth. Many would consider the ‘In The Water’ to be the good ending or at least the neutral ending. Leave is the family friendly ending.
In Water ending is the realisitc ending
Its the canon ending for majority of players(even there are no official canon ending), so I agree it is not the Bad Ending
@@hellkisser Il était venu pour ça au départ...
@@hellkisser
Masahiro Ito (The designer and illustrator of the game) and Guy Cihi (James's original VA) both choose "In Water" as their personal canon ending, and honestly it simply fits the tone of the story and James's character better.
Plus the fact that James's father appears in Silent Hill 4 and claims that James's disappeared in Silent Hill.
@@mrtyrant1680 personal canon ending obviously, not the official true canon ending
Man. After the theory being around for 20 years and seeing this for the first time, that moment James’ eyes traveled up to the rear view mirror genuinely gave me chills.
So she was in the trunk huh
@tennoo160 backseat. And hacking the camera has proven she's literally there covered by a blanket.
@@placebo4573 I need to see evidence of this.
@@Terry-nx8kg 1:44 ?
@@Terry-nx8kgCheck the silent hill subreddit, dude freecamed into backseat and there was blanket with something underneath it
This was very well acted and beautifully shot, but I miss a line of dialogue from the original: “Now I remember why I came to this town”. It was a fantastic ending to the story, with James remembering that he actually came to Silent Hill, their special place, to end his own life.
I remember I got In water when I played it back in 2002, and just thinking Holy Hell, and being blown away.
Great ending to a great game. One thing I do want to say, to get ahead of a lot of comments people have on this ending(which is a bit of an essay, so fair warning):
Fans of the game often repeat this idea of "In Water" being the accepted canon ending. It isn't. There IS no canon ending. All the writers and devs deliberately leave it open ended, because they wanted people to just pick their preferred ending. Even if some of them have their preferred outcome, that doesn't make them more canon than the others.
Far as I can tell, this is based largely on an interview with James' original VA saying he believes that the In Water ending is canon, the novelization using it as the basis for the ending, and it being the most common ending players get on a first playthrough (most people either get In Water or Leave). And while I fully concede that it IS a tragically beautiful ending that makes sense thematically, I'd argue ALL of the endings do this.
One personal observation I have (I don't know if this is a common reading) is that the characters pulled into Silent Hill can represent the darker roads James can take at the end of his journey. All of them have one thing in common: they're killers, in some form of denial over what they've done. The town has summoned them for one reason: to force them to confront what they've done. How they respond to it... well, that's up to them.
To me, Eddie represents the Maria ending. He comes to terms with his crimes, but he has taken the wrong lesson out of it. Once Eddie accepts the things he's done, he decides that it wasn't so bad, and that the people he hurt deserved it. He doesn't need forgiveness, he was right all along. Similarly, the Maria ending is James taking the wrong lesson out of Mary's death. Yes, that he was wrong to kill her, but also that replacing her with Maria will make everything better. It shows no matter what, just like Eddie, James will never truly learn from his mistakes, and is always doomed to repeat them.
Angela, on the other hand, represents the In Water ending. Angela confronted the reality of what she had done, but in the end, it breaks her. She loses her will to live, convinces herself that she deserved to be abused, she deserved to be punished, and she deserves the torment that Silent Hill is putting her through. She's not in denial, like Eddie, but her pain completely consumes her. Which reflects James' In Water ending: he confronts the reality of what he has done, but when it's all over, he just can't move on. He can't forgive himself. The pain and guilt is just too much for him to overcome. He'd rather die than keep living in a world where Mary is dead because of him.
That''s why I think there's a good case for the Leave ending being my preferred one. Because it's James finding the path forward that neither Eddie nor Angela could find. Confronting his sins, facing them head on, and accepting them. He can't change the past, he can never forget what he's done, but that doesn't mean he can't have a future where he can honor his late wife in his own way. It also plays into the concept of Silent Hill that I like the most: the town isn't TRYING to kill these people, necessarily. But it IS testing them. If you fail (whether by deluding yourself like Eddie, or succumbing to your pain like Angela), you'll never leave Silent Hill alive. But if you can face your own personal hell and accept your sins while refusing to be crushed by them, the town will let you go, with a new purpose in your life.
That's beautiful
Dude, you should be a writer or something. Its not often i read a long comment but yours are really interesting and intriguing
You nail it Austin 👏😊 cheers my dude 🍻
I’ve read this 10x. Not one or two TEN BRO!! This was so well written!! I love it!!!
I get that not a lot of people have played SH4, but it also kind of implied the In Water ending is canon as James' dad is in it and he confirms James is missing. 4 was the last game Team Silent worked on IIRC and is linked to 2 (Walter Sullivan and James' father being the landlord). This is another reason the fanbase accepts the In Water ending as canon and I wish more people were aware of that :/
Mary: I want you to live for yourself and be happy James
James: Guess I’ll drown
Yeah the canon ending is Leave and I refuse to change my mind, but the shot of the letter floating in the lake is so sad and haunting, excellent remake!
Im pretty sure in water ending James doesn’t get to read it thats why in the other endings he leaves because he read it.
It's canon actually, according to Masahiro Ito. In Water ending is canon.
@@reese8050 no its not. He said it’s his fav not that it’s canon. He specifically said that anyone can choose their ending. If you want to go into it then yes it is canon in the novel. The game no. But most team silent devs believe it would be the most likely canon.
@@schizomani4c SH4 also implies In Water is the canon ending as James' dad confirmed he's missing. That was the last game made by Team Silent, so.
@@sugarysweet07 it implies it yes wish I believe it to be.
I would've done the same thing if I was in James' shoes. How can a man live with himself after snuffing out his sick wife?
James never killed his wife. Maria had a terminal illness, and she also fought, pushed James away and treated him badly. James's action was an action so that she would not suffer anymore, he feels guilty for making that decision that was not his. This ending is bad, James could never relieve that torturous guilt like the ending 'leaving'
@@IA.M3gan I think maybe I'm projecting a bit here because I've almost driven into the local harbour a few times.
@@Terry-nx8kg Don't let anyone deceive what you think is wrong or right. If you feel like it is the truth for you.
She basically asked for it to end and she was cruel and hostile to James.
He planned the whole thing though, he was gonna kill her per her request, and then kill himself.
That's why they had the OG fight where he came in to reconcile with the flowers, she asked him and he turned her down when she did.
But then he thought she won't have it any other way. So...
In my opinion, this is the canon ending... It really fits the whole narrative of the game.
Its not in your opinion, its confirmed by the developers of the OG that this is the canon ending and his wife was on the backseat all the time. The real reason he came to silent hill was to kill himself.
@@kurusuakira6891And this is the ending selected for the official novel too
yeah, James father in silent hill 4 told Henry his son and daughter-in-law went to silent hill and never came back, further prove in water ending is true, even his father didn't know his daughter-in-law already a corpse taken by James. James killed Maria and drown with Mary in the end, sad story.
@@kurusuakira6891 No it isn't. The developers saying that In Water is the canon ending is a common misconception. They've said that it is their preferred ending, NOT that it is the canon ending. There is no canon ending.
@@HaiYu0 Not necessarily, since James going missing could also imply he's on the run from the police, not that he died.
Really disappointed to not see the bedside conversation in the remake. Part of what made the ending great in the original was the subtle differences in what he said to Mary in the leave ending and in water ending. I really want to like it, but I feel they did a disservice to this ending by taking out such a large portion of it. I feel like there is so much potential here, but they felt the need to remove some of the ending for no real reason. Realistically feel like the leave ending is the only ending they kept intact in the remake.
Mary in the in water ending says “It’s enough, James.” almost as if she is giving him permission to end his life. In the leave ending she says “Please do something for me… go on with your life.” encouraging him to find meaning elsewhere and continue without her. Both very heart wrenching lines that work perfect within the context of their respective conclusions.
Well if you want her to interact with James the Stillness ending seems to be more fitting since in this one here it's just in your face that she is dead and laying on the backseats of James's Car.
I think it's even more impactful that Mary wasn't there.
The real disservice is how much this delivery falls flat compared to Monica's performance in the original. This sounded like I was watching a movie or a TV show, the original sounded like someone was pouring their heart out in a letter.
@@RichtofensLittleGirl I’ll admit that this version of the ending has a lot of intrigue with the visual representation of Mary in the backseat. That being said, she is still very much dead in the backseat in the original. Also Mary is “not there” regardless if he speaks to her.
I’d also say that just telling someone essentially that if they don’t like it they should just get a secret new game plus ending is silly. Stillness is a fascinating ending but certainly not giving anywhere near the same feeling as the original in water ending. It also lacks the letter read off which is what drives home the tragedy of James killing himself. And yes, I realize James choosing not to read it is an intentional part of Stillness end.
Either way I am glad you found enjoyment out of the remake’s interpretation. While I don’t think the ending completely missed the mark, it was the first ending I got years and years ago. Simply put it didn’t resonate with me nearly as much on a personal level in this remake.
@@MagnyusG I agree. The original does very well as displaying the ups and downs of her emotions and attempts to hold back tears. I am overall pretty neutral on the remake’s read off, but it certainly didn’t have me breaking down crying like the original.
I think if you’re in a good marriage or long term relationship this ending is so real and easy to empathize with. I’m married to someone that I love and care about deeply, and we have a great relationship, similar to what James and Mary seemingly had before her illness. If something similar happened to my partner and I, where that illness tore apart everything we had and I did something as terrible as James did in an impulsive moment of emotional distress, I wouldn’t know how to live with myself anymore or even think I’m worthy of it.
It's not impulsive, it's premeditated.
Unfortunately, he'd planned to kill himself afterwards too.
He gets the chance to not do that in the game, to not feel guilty because she releases him of the guilt.
But throughout the entire run, James clearly has a death wish, and portraying himself to himself as someone who killed his wife would mean that killing himself won't make her angry.
It would be fair, so it won't upset her. But, she sees right through that..
The most oldest theory of Silent Hill 2 have been canonized. Woaw.
Wait how if you don’t mind explaining? 😭
@@Sahariiiichi
This old theory talked about the fact that James had all along brought his wife's remains with him to Silent Hill to commit suicide with her presence, sinking into the depths of Lake Toluca, together. In the In Water ending of the remake, we see that the theory has been canonized: If you look closely in the back seats, there is Mary's coffin stored.
@@Shub-Nagruth it's not even a theory though, it has always been the truth...Masahiro Ito confirmed it on is twitter...
@@Shub-Nagruth This was confirmed back in 2015
if you look at his eyes, he looks at the back seat while talking to Mary. there's a blanket there covering Mary's body.
Never notice how they descended in certain parts of Hell: Eddy Ice (Froze to death by hiding in the fridge); Angela Fire (House Fire); James Water (died by diving into lake), which is how they all ended up in Silent Hill (Hell by their sin of killing people or Sudoku). The other ending options is up to players choice because well he's dead and that's that.
Sounds like it tho, maybe, still think the Silent Hill happens in James had before he "chooses" (player) does choose actual ending
In water hit me hard, while Leave is the best ending for James to live, In Water hits me so hard. The fact that James while he killed Mary to ease her but for his own reasons is bad, he still loved her. Mary wanted him to live but how can you when your husband or wife is your soulmate, I don’t think James is suicidal in the end just he can’t do the day to day of living knowing he can’t even be with Mary again. Especially in the remake James decision hits hard for me
Agreed 😢
This is the true ending. James travelled to Silent Hill to kill himself. It was always going to end this way for him.
I don't think that's right. James went to silent hill because apart of him was still clinging onto something. As the original voice actor said, if james really planned on killing himself, he wouldn't have travelled all the way to silent hill.
Not even remotely true. Stop stating your opinions as facts
@@jethrojacinto2798 What is truth? More importantly, does truth matter in the grand scheme of things?
@@Terry-nx8kg The game has multiple endings, which was made by the creators so you can CHOOSE which ending you want for James. They never labeled anything as the TRUE ending. So if you're asking "does truth doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things", why would YOU say this is the True Ending? You're not smart bro, and you won't ever be by pretending on the internet. It just makes you a clown.
@@Terry-nx8kg No, but you said it's the truth.
In water ending is my favorite ending but this is too subtle compare to the original silent hill 2 which is more emotionally charged. I really loved stillness ending the most.
They should have kept the original credit songs for each ending, as well as the image of James and the replay of various scenes from the game.
Just finished the game today, this is my ending. Really depressed, but in my opinion it's the true ending. (This credit song is amazing, just loved it!)
It's a really depressing ending though.
My friend and I both did our play throughs together at the same pace so we’d see what endings we both get, he got the ‘leave’ ending and I got this one... I had to mute my mic I couldn’t contain myself
So there's no dialogue with Mary after the boss fight? It's not seen when he carry her out of her bed?
That's the leave ending.
Yeah. But here it implies that the Mary's body was actually in the trunk or backseat the whole time.
@@hajfjhxcjthats the water ending in the original.
@@hajfjhxcjUnfortunately he doesn’t carry her out anymore.
@@ismaill-0819The backseat, according to Team Silent.
Not a bad ending but depression ending.
It's the true ending. Fits perfectly with James' psyche.
@@Terry-nx8kg I just finished the game, I saw a streamer I watch get a different ending where he talks to his wife. What is that considered?
@JustLunarr that's the Stillness Ending. It's a new ending where the audio implies james gets out of the car while sending Mary to her watery sentimental grave, their special place that is Toluca Lake.
James emotional behavior is very repressive during the In Water ending but in the Stillness ending you got he just pours his emotions and guilt out. Which means he put Mary to rest and may be open to forgiving himself.
Probably the most cannon ending. It's worse than the leave & stillness ending but better than the Maria ending
@@DevlMayDutch I can see the idea but its really just a variation of in water.
For people saying that its a "canon" ending: It's not. No one confirmed that it's canon.
SH3, SH4, devs and novella, sure 😂. Some people rerally dont understand the game.
@@alx2903 If the MAIN creator of this game,CONFIRMS that it's canon,then its CANON. Dont give that "novella" bs,I'm talking about games. And what about SH3,SH4? Did they straight up said that "hey,you know James is dead actually"?
@@alx2903 I understand the game,I played it,and I know that a lot people really wish this ending was canon because it's tragic and shit,but just because they want it to be canon,doesnt mean it is.
This is the canon ending (not the bad ending).
SH3 & 4 confirms James is missing, It's also the one in the novel.
Not canon, just the favorite ending. There’s no canon ending to SH2
@@TheShockVox it is the ending that best fits the references and insinuations of later games and media.
Dude. Can we please stop saying this. In sh4 they mention they haven't come back from SH but it can mean multiple things. either he went to escape. or the dad is also in SH thats why he hasn't seen them.
@@troyb4533 No it doesn't. Him going into hiding could also fit into later "hints" regarding Jame's fate. SH2 doesn't have a canon ending and this has been validated by both Guy Cihi and Ito.
Wasnt confirmed,so not canon.
I got this ending first because I used survival horror instincts and conserved healing items until I absolutely needed them. I feel a tad bit trolled.
This also fits the narrative the most. Before the fight with Eddie, James was in a cemetery where there were 3 dug graves, for James, Angela and Eddie. Eddie obviously died, Angela's last conversation seemed like she wanted to die and James ends up the same way.
This is not the bad ending man, this is the best ending
Way better than the Maria ending. I think the good ending is leave, but this one is more cannon
That's subjective
@@Alexander-zt9kz even rebirth is better than Maria ending
This is bad ending..bc best ending is def atone for what u did n pay for all ur crime😂
@@ichi127kyu but this ending is James paying for his crimes no?
The reading of the letter doesn't have the same emotional impact the OG does (still to this day), but it was still overall a great game and a worthy remake.
there's no bad or good ending in this game, all the three original ending are fit to the story, so people don't lose heart if you got any of them
Is not the bad ending lmao, is the real ending
I'm here because there are theory that said this game is sort of sequel from the original game
Idk why, but after seeing UFO ending and this ending, i can kinda see it
so many strange guys say about ito's opinion on his favourite ending. but they forget that original writer was owaku, not ito. and owaku has never stated that in water is canon ending
dmbfk claiming bad ending never played the og sh2 💀
It's weird that the Stillness Ending including going into the water but not this. They really should have had just mixed them both into the In Water Ending. Splitting them is weird, especially since they end the same way. The crying is amazing in the Stillness, but it's not complete without this. Really weird move.
it does include driving and going into the water, a lot of these ending videos cut it
Disagree. In water ending shows James in his truly depressed, hopeless state, unable to even let it out and cry, then the audio implies he offed himself. Whereas the stillness ending, he's a lot more emotional and was able to let it out when Mary spoke to him, and the audio implies he got out of the car and sent her to Toluka Lake, asking her just before if she "would wait for him". The second ending implies that James decided to fulfill her last wish and live for her and start forgiving himself, the first one implies he died and is buried with her in the lake.
Bloober Team did an excellent job crafting subtlety into what's going on in this ending. It's implied, but never truly shown outside of a brief out of focus glimpse; the way a Silent Hill game should be! Bravo 👏
I just did my first play through and got this ending. When James looks at the back seat, is Mary supposed to be there? 😧
She is there you can see a glimpse
If you pay attention at the start of the game, you can actually see a large blanket covering "something" in the back seat
@@feels5460 😧wow! Going to start new game plus. I'll look for that in the beginning. I played the original, loved it. And I love this one too. Lol in the original game I always got the leave ending
@@christined1988 Gonna start as well! The original was a little before my time but I discovered it last year and fell in love. The leave ending is really nice, my favorite ending was the water one. Anyways have fun, its cool noticing the small details that bloober added
There’s so many things that show this is the case. Like when Laura’s birthday was. It was just three days prior to them being there in Silent Hill.
You say bad ending but this ending is almost universally agreed to be the "cannon ending" even if there really isn't one. This ending not only makes the most sense thematically and tonally, its in my opinion the most satisfying albeit sad ending to James' story.
Spoilers....
Mary's dead body is in the back seat of James' car under a blanket.... He came to Silent Hill to die.
Yep.
The end note confuses me. She says she wrote the letter and if James was reading it, then it meant she'd died because she told the nurse to give it to him then. So..... How did HE kill her?
Just finished this game and got this ending. Honestly, I don't know how though. I met more of the parameters for the standard ending than I did this ending, but oh well.
Calling this a bad ending is more of an opinion rather than a fact.
Its not a good ending.
@@PsevdonimKanalaNahuy he's ending his suffering
@@Nigel222 Or he can live with the guilt and redeem himself by raising Laura.
@@Nigel222 And it doesnt make any sense,why even play the game if he still just ends it all in the end? It seems they just made it for shock value more then anything.
@@PsevdonimKanalaNahuy They didn't make it for shock value, this is one of the original endings in the original game from 2001. Even if you ask the original voice actor/mocap performer, Guy Cihi, this is the canon ending.
It's around the 14:00 mark:

I think "In Water" is the one in which James loves Mary most and finally saves himself from the endless guilty feeling. Actually I like Maria pretty much, and think she deserves a true happy ending. But "Maria" Ending is so horrible that James escaped from his '心魔' and nothing is not solved at all.
Fuck i got this ending
It's so bittersweet but it just feels...mentally this was the cannon choice,he comes to terms with the truth , and fits the whole depressing tone of the game...although the escape ending is a pretty close second for me.
Very interesting when you realise his wifes corpse is on the back seat and he looks straight at it.
I can not for the life of me get this ending. I limped the whole game, spam inspected the knife, never checked on Maria once. I’m so perplexed
It sounds like you did everything right so it’s weird you didn’t get it.
I got this ending and I always kept myself healed up, checked on Maria alot and only inspected the knife once. Swear to God. This is the first Silent Hill game I've ever played. I didn't even know about the different endings and how to get them.
@@MartianOrion it’s crazy because a lot of people are saying they got that ending without even trying and I’ve been actively trying with no luck
i cant say that this works for certain but it did for me: check the knife, letter, the photo and the handkerchief continuously at different points in the game. also take all of the damage you can in the last fight until you run out of healing items
I managed to get the ending by reloading the final save and doing everything you've said, on the same save file I got the Leave ending. Maybe try using the Rusty Egg door after the double pyramid head fight if you've been using Amber, that could be it
Just today finished the game and got that ending. This war my 1st time when I played Silent Hill game and it was awesome. If you still thinking should you buy remake or not i'll say - buy. Bloober team did great job and I hope they'll get work on another SH parts. But I should warn you that game has lack of an optimization i got around 50-60 fps on gtx1660ti
As much as it pains to say it, to me this is the canon ending
This is canon ending due to the room
James dad says he’s son never came back from sh
Never came back doesn’t mean dead.

first time getting this ending!! it was so beautiful.
I wanted to get this ending so bad, I got the Maria ending by mistake and it is so fucking anticlimatic, I wish I got this since it has the full letter at the end, the reasoning to get each ending is so dumb, how does using a game mechanic make me get the worse ending thematically?
She doesn't read it the same... It's not as good as the original!
I got so mad i got this ending on first try and hardly checked the knife. I thought it wad maybe because I killed yoo many enemies.......or kept being them on the ground like they owed me money.
Not sure what i did but i got this ending for the first time lol, i dont even inspect Angela's Knife
You have to heal a lot, almost immediately. I never let my health get to danger and I got Leave. Then I reloaded my save to before the pyramid boss fight, examined the knife, letter, photo and handkerchief a bunch of times, let my health get to danger and let it stay there after the pyramid head boss fight, and I got In water haha.
So yeah
"I've done a terrible thing to you"
What do you guys think that was about? Because that was not the yelling at him...
It was something much darker.
And then she goes on to explain why
"I feel so pathetic and ugly"
"Lying here, staring at the cracks in the ceiling".
Yeah...
That could be james out of the car before get into water. You can hear he was opened the car's door
This is just my opinion haha
I think it’s him shifting gear
How else got this ending on its first play? I don’t know what I did in order to get this one instead of Leave.
If you inspect Angela’s knife several times, read most of the suicidal notes you find around the town (neely’s bar Otherworld), and stay injured for half of the game then you’ll get this ending
The ambient music is so unnecessary. Just let it play in silence like the original.
this is legit my only problem with the entire remake. the spooky music TOTALLY ruins the vibe.
Best ending.
There was new it call stillness james and mary talk together
My brain just imagined james with no seat belt slamming forward and marys body flying and hitting him. Lol he definitely drowned which makes his death even worse. However its what he wanted and deserved
Wanted, certainly.
"Deserved", dude his wife be trying to talk him out of it the whole game, she brought her A game to this ...
That's the whole purpose of why she was called to SH after her death, to stop him, because that's not what she wanted for him.
Is this the Canon ending? If so what happens to Laura?
That’s sad. James really deserved better.
It's called redemption. He saw this as the only way to try and make up for his sins.
İf you killed your loved one without knowing you'd probably be leaning towards doing the same
He really didn't...that's the whole point of his character and story
I can't believe it, they couldn't just make a 1:1 perfect remake, no, they went ahead and made my favourite ending BETTER than the original.
I had zero expectations in Blooper doing anything but hey, happy to be proven wrong for once.
How the hell I got that ending in my first playthrough?
You have to look at the Mary picture as often as you can to get a " good " ending

@@miguelangelt5529 No he didnt dude. He made all those endings to let the player decide. Yes it’s canon to the novel sure but not the game. He literally said there is no canon ending.
@@miguelangelt5529 he said his favorite is in water not that its canon.
@@miguelangelt5529Misinformation. It was the devs' favourite ending. Favourite does not mean canon. The novel is separate from the game. Him being missing in 4 doesn't mean shit.
This is the "real" ending according to Masahiro Ito.
What is the name of background music? I can't find it
Fuck I gets this ending
This is true ending please do some research 😂
The ending requirments being incredibly abstract is ridiculous. I googled it and it seems like the game will punish you with this ending if you literally just explore the game and examine object lmao. Or if you don't heal immeaditly after getting a small scratch like ... I am playing a SURVIVAL horror game, I ain't gonna waste precious resources on healing. If google didn't exist I wouldn't even know about multiple endings and what to do to get each one. On the surface it sounds great, but in practice it felt really disappointing when James said "It's time to let it go" and then killed himself, because he couldn't let it go ...
My personal canon and favorite ending. It feels the most realistic
Yeah the original in water was better and had more impact
This reading does not hit nearly as hard as the original.
because you already know the story
@@cpgxy nah the original voice actor puts on a way better performance than this actor. I can still hear her voice breaking when she says "I am so sorry."
@@cpgxynot true at all. The remake voice actress just falls so flat on her delivery.
They really messed this up. All subtelty is gone. James literally yells "and now I must kill myself". The music over the letter. The letter itself has changes "live for yourself and others" as if we are too dumb. The letter is read too fast and too well acted. The original reading feels like a struggle and release. Mary is both broken and relieved by the end. Just compare the parts where she talks about learning her death is inevitable, and the famous "you made me happy".
This just isn't it
I want to know did James really killed his wife or not ?
it's confirmed James Killed his own wife by a pillow
@@fredrictigga3260 thanks mate,I totally forgot about that.
@@fredrictigga3260 More like he spared her from pain she had. Better to end quickly than having worse pains each day.
She wanted that from her husband.
Maria is having same on her ending. With cough aka tb.
"I'm dying, Sister."
He killed her but she asked for him to, so it wasn’t cold blooded; but out of mercy.
It’s implied that in her last moments through letters at the end (like her last couple months alive) she pushed James away and was mean to him (because of her illness); and he developed feelings of wanting her gone so he could just move on with his life and not have to suffer anymore.
So James guilt isn’t completely about killing his wife but the guilt of why he killed her.
@@bradyking4299 she did not ask him to kill her. Just said things like “it’d be better if I was dead.” He fully decided to kill her by himself.
I disagree that this is the canon ending. For one, this is not the ending that Mary would have wanted for James, as he very clearly points out. The letter tells James to live and move on. And honestly in the water is James doing what he came to Silent Hill to do in the first place. There is a reason his mind snaps and that the town puts him through this, it wants him to face his demons and come out of this.
To get the in the water ending you have to show actively self destructive behaviors in the game, to prove to the game that you don't care about James' life.

And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad

Suicide is a shit choice. This never will be a good ending.
I always thought it’s just edgy losers wanting this to be the canon ending.
@@UpwardNinjait never was the canon ending. Original developers preferred this ending but no ending is canon
It may be the shit choice, but let’s be honest - it’s the most realistic choice, at least for a character that went through the absolute Hell that James went through. It’s depressing as hell, but it fits. But it’s also probably why they made an alternate version of this ending in the remake, where [SPOILERS]

Mary (in spirit form) appears in the backseat of the car, tells James that she’ll always wait for him, which deters James from killing himself. Still a bit of a depressing ending, but at least James lives.
@@Resident_avonUYou're forgetting something. It's a Japanese game, and suicide in the Japanese culture, under certain circumstances, is considered to be an honourable thing. Americans are much too shallow to entertain such ideas.
Considering how James is lost and completely miserable in the game, and is dissociating from the reality, do you really think that is a shitty choice? It makes a lot of sense for James to take that course of action, people who end their own lives tend to struggle a lot with their inner demons or the past of a loved one, when someone you love so much dies, there is something inside you that dies too.
👍❤️🩹👯
I got this end but idk why can someone explain me why i got it i cant find anything ?
Never played og? Same ish requirements
By examining Angela's Knife, staying at low health thought out the game and listening to the entire conversation in the hallway before the finale is basically enough to get this ending
If you are low on health most of the game and examine Angela's knife, you'll get this ending.
@@jesusrodriguezcolon8315 also, if you read the menacing notes in the hospital and neely's bar
Not needed, can confirm but it adds a point
@@Manic_Panic bruh just bc of a knife i got the bad ending kinda sad ngl
The remake is such shit
Garbage. Over dramatic, hollywoodesque cheese.
