For years I've been told this is the best ending, but this is probably the creepiest of all, as James had gone mad and putting his bet on dark powers ...And we all knew praying to some weird God to bring back the dead will never work as intended😮
I’ve always sort of thought that the Ritual James intends to do in this ending actually ends up accidentally sacrificing Mary and rebirthing the Old Gods that are mentioned, or the god from Silent Hill 1 that they were trying to birth. Idk this ending always felt super ominous to me, not a good ending at all.
In the original Rebirth,Maria sound like she loved James in a very possessive way and got anger when James treats her like just an object...but here,the moment James said he can bring back Mary,her voice and demenor change...she knows that instead of an object,James sees her death at his hands as part of the ritual. This is the only ending where she transforms to defend herself from James and also because she knows that the ritual James wants to do isn't gonna bring Mary but rather a demon,Maria knows that James must die here and now or the consequences are gonna be bad for everyone. In this ending James becomes like Walter Sullivan with the exception of the numbers of kills and the fact that James is gonna perform the ritual based on what little he has read,not teached like with Walter.
Right, even though Walter was acting on the wrong assumption that the 21 sacraments ritual was gonna bring his mother back to him, it was still a ritual done perfectly and to the letter. James has no idea what he's doing or what he's dealing with.
@@Ogmius-994 Yes. Adult Walter is like What I have done in the 21 Sacrament Ending but he did well the ritual. James on the other hand has very little information and its gonna do a ritual anyways. But the important here is how both characters becomes the same. They become killers in order to see once again a person they love the most. Blobber took the original notes about Walter plus how he acts in SH4 and made more interesting the Rebirth Ending. Now Walter's note make more sense instead of being seeds of what was coming after SH2 and also being more lore for the town.
@@mykelmellen2378In the original James is tired of seeing Maria. In the remake he literally says that Maria's death is part of the Ritual to bring Mary back. That sounds like Walter Sullivan talking about the 21 Sacraments. The new Rebirth endings took all reference to Walter and turn it into a Path James can take. A very darker one.
I love how evil James is in this ending the conversation with Maria is like a scene in a Batman comic where two of the villains start fighting each other
This is worst as James has become like Walter in this ending. Hear well his tone and his dialogue when Maria mocks over him still wanted Mary back. James speak in a very scaring tone and talks about how Maria's death plus the items he collected are gonna bring Mary back. He's determinated in that if he needs to kill people to bring Mary back,he's gonna do it...just like Walter Sullivan.
sadly James, it won't be YOUR Mary you get back, but a monster. we know what happened in the silent hill origins game.. this town is cursed for a reason. you are going to die.
@@leonarddement3432 Silent Hill Origins was a birthing ritual to birth their God 21 Sacraments is a similar ritual that instead of birthing, revives the God (if i remember) What's the worse that could happen reviving a person? They become a God too? ^^:
@@DannyExist no. That's not what happened. If you read the prequel comic that took place in the early days, a guy did the ritual. The loved one comes back "pet semitary" style. Rotten and evil
The only ending that really fits with the rest of silent hill universe. People seem forgot that originally silent hill is more about cult and mythical being, not psychological horror
All the team Silent games are psychological horror. The occult aspect is just the story focus of SH1/3. It's only the main focus in 2 games of the original 4. In SH4 it's an aspect but not a focus. In 2 it's in the background, another secret in this strange town that you might get a glimpse of. 2 also brings a lot of the towns other history in to play such as Toluca Prison, Jennifer Carol, the Baroness.
The town isn't evil or cursed. It's blessed land capable of putting human souls through hell on earth to save them from themselves. The issue are the corrupt humans using this blessing and the latent powers of the gods for completely selfish reasons like gaining personal power or resurrecting the dead. That's when the magic of the land turns against them.
Personally don’t like this ending. I like to think that James in in some sort of loop like others have said. Kinda makes sense with all the James dead bodies you come across and the written notes you find near them. It’s like he is trying to warn the next James. The stillness ending is perfect for me
The loop theory doesn't make any sense. James see his bodies because he thinks he deserves punishment/death for what he'd done to Mary. Each person sees the town differently. For example, Eddie saw his Bully's corpse, but James sees his own dead body. Got it now?
No, the "you've been here for 2 decades" message is a message for players who've been there since the original, not James. If James had been in a loop for 2 decades since the original, why Laura, Eddie and Angela appear in both of the games? Especially Laura.. It doesn't even make sense.
@@PaulaNaBussa-x1n just by removing all the uniqueness, style, Laura's backwards pray and the trip-hop kinda beat, this new version lost all the charm. If you like it more than the original, then we have the complete opposite taste in music.
@@eversongabriel7099yeah it’s a sick band arrangement of the song, but imo doesn’t serve the game nearly as well as the OG does. Would have been better as just a bonus OST
why do people keep saying james will ressurect mary as a zombie or a demon? there is a good god in sh that can summon spirits and even resurrect dead people that way.
In what universe would James just magically bringing his dead wife back to life totally fine with no strings attached be in any way consistent with the themes of the game?
@@aidenconley3378 because he wanted to ask the gods to revive her. if he asks a good god (i forgot his name) to revive her he can simply grant his wish. also when james is fighting two pyramid heads you can see a seal of that good god on the floor.
James has gone nuts, and is trying to resurect Mary using the Power of the Gods of Silent Hill. But we all know why this Ending is considered a Bad ending... Search for "Incubus- Silent Hill 1"

They make it even creepier than the original. Brillant
Bro my jaw absolutely dropped through the floor when James shut Maria down instantly 😭😭

Considering I spent the last remaining bullets I had on Maria. I'm screwed
but was a birthing ritual :O

I like the jarring contrast between the higher pitched parts of the music and the lower, droning parts
One moment serene, ominous the next
The only ending that really fits with the rest of silent hill universe. People seem forgot that originally silent hill is more about cult and mythical being, not psychological horror
It's the only ending that fits with SH 1 and SH 3
Psychological horror is more of a genre than a topic. Cults and Mythical beings presented in the form of a psychological horror game
@@BongWatah the thing is sh has magic (telekinesis and other stuff)

Love how campy James and Maria’s conversation is in the remake’s Rebirth ending compared to Leave / In Water or Maria
Kinda disappointed that they removed the Lyrics for this Ending song 'Reverse Will'. It's what made the ending song unhinged imo.
yeah i prefer the older version of Reverse Will, this one sounds weak
Agreed. Even though I do love the part at 5:12
The town isn't evil or cursed. It's blessed land capable of putting human souls through hell on earth to save them from themselves. The issue are the corrupt humans using this blessing and the latent powers of the gods for completely selfish reasons like gaining personal power or resurrecting the dead.

theres something so Pet Semetatry about this ending that i love so much 😢
Ahhhh estuve esperando a que sacaran éste final para escuchar la nueva versión de The Reverse Will
Gracias!!
Jajaja yo igual ya quería escuchar esta versión completa
Best ending!

Even the before fight cinematic is different, small details that makes an awesome game
If you know the "God" from Silent hill 3, then you know this is going to end really bad.
God from Silent Hill 1 is even worse
My favorite ending. If you fall enough why not embrace it?
I don't wanna be buried in a pet sematary
I don’t wanna live my life again
I really like this voice actor but the creepy as fuck "Ahh Mary ..." In the original is undefeated
Guy Cihi is masterful at making James a huge creep.
this ending is the worst possible ending, which makes it the coolest possible ending.
This ending is so obscure and for that I love it
I think the Maria one might be the worst. He’s endlessly finding a new victim
peak ending
OMG THE NEW REVERSE WILL
Horrible, unfortunately.
@@eversongabriel7099 i like it

@@LovecraftianToenail why are we assuming all gods are evil? Surely there is a good one that would grant James his wish
@@poordude21necromancy/reviving the death are totally the opposite of what a “good god” should stand for, so no, no good god will revive Mary
One thing I learn from Pet Sematary is that do not revive your loved one with some strangle ritual 😂
"Hhhh... Harry..."
On this ending, the atmosphere on original is better
This is by far the worst and darkest ending of Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 1 ahh ending
harry did NOT die for this 😭
I wonder what music is playing at the beginning, does anyone know ?
The Reverse Will
I think he meant the cutscenes @@PaulaNaBussa-x1n
Awe what about Laura? Even though she’s a brat does she die in this route?
Can everyone explain what happen to this ending ? I still don't understand
After collecting the ritual items throughout the game, James is attempting to resurrect his wife through the gods of silent hill.
James has gone nuts, and is trying to resurect Mary using the Power of the Gods of Silent Hill.
But we all know why this Ending is considered a Bad ending...
Search for "Incubus- Silent Hill 1"
Ritual of the damned.. like in silent hill original and silent hill 4. The only thing they resurrect is just demon in the form whoever they love
