Re: Someone has made quite the discovery
"Aliens" is a broad term. All of the entities in the series are incredibly alien. Beings spawned from another reality are certainly far more alien than space aliens even, since space aliens obviously originate in our own universe whereas the forces controlling/comprising the Otherworld cer...

Re: How many games do I have to play before Downpour?
The previous games follow a semi-concrete timeline that can be ascertained, for the most part, by tracking the rise and fall of the Order. SH0, SH1, and SH3 follow a direct plot, while SH2 fits in there somewhere. SH4 mentions plot points from SH2 and SH3, which means it had to have come after them,...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
I agree. I haven't owned Homecoming for years (it was stolen), and I just bought it again to complete my collection, and playing it again after so much time, I realize anew just how mediocre it is. ...the Travis cameo offers no substance while raising problems Wonderful way to put it. That's exactly...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
@Aura You're serious then? He may have started out as another character, but it's clear the intent for his appearance in homecoming was a Travis cameo. It's not just "steriotypical trucker" clothes, it's the same outfit. he's wearing the same vest. The idea that he's still trucking around ...

Re: Cheryl is Heather?
Shattered Memories can be seen in a simmilar way as the movie in that it is somebodies original take on the first game.

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
I said literally the same outfit, not same clothing. Same outfit, meaning brown work boots, blue jeans, plaid flannel shirt, puffy vest and trucker hat.

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
It's the same outfit but not the same clothes. I'm sure Travis has different flannels and changes his clothing, and many hat-wearers have multiple hats. The vest looks like it was meant to be the same one with updated graphics. The only other differences are the rolled up sleeves on the Origins Trav...

Re: "I could have done it all myself."
What it seemed like to me at the time was that Dahlia originally thought she needed an excessively powerful psychic to channel the power right and birth god successfully. When Alessa is begging her not to do it, she came to this one realization after she says "just the two of us." Somehow...

Re: Got Downpour? Want to share impressions? Post them here!
I don't understand why so many people don't like Downpour. It's the best of the non-Team Silent games so far. I love it. It feels more like Silent Hill than Homecoming could ever hope to, without feeling stale like Origins did at times. I love the monster designs. They are quite unique compared to t...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
There are some brilliant nods to Homecoming in Downpour. Being a big Homecoming fan it really made me smile. Same here. I enjoyed Homecoming. Fact is, my copy was stolen and I'm supremely irritated because it is now the only Silent Hill game I do not currently own, and represents a gaping hole in m...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
I'm merely speculating, Cyrus, I am by no means advocating this to be the truth. As for what could theoretically be punishing him, the same forces that punish Lisa, maybe. Btw, Lisa's fate mentioned at the bottom of page 93, entitled VII: The Chariot. She is represented by the fu ku ro lady that Val...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
It is intended to be Travis, Aura. It's obvious. The man drives a truck. His outfit when unlocked as a costume for Alex is called "Big Rig Alex." He was meant to be a new character nicknamed "the Hunter", but it was scrapped and reused as a Travis cameo. It is undoubtedly Travis....

Huh. Well the image is inconsistent with that then. Not that it matters though. If Schreiber said it, it must be true.

Location of Wish House
I was looking at a couple pictures of Toluca Lake from the South Vale side of Silent Hill, and I noticed they all used the same graphic for the view. Using comparisons of these, one might be able to triangulate the position of Wish House. I've made a comparison image where I've highlighted certain s...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
Like it or not, they are supposed to be the same character, but idk. There definitely is a difference in attitude. Either way, my point in bringing up Lisa is that sometimes people are trapped there as a manifestation, and that's what I think Travis is in Homecoming. I think he was punished for his ...

Re: Silent Hill Homecoming in a separate canon? [spoilers]
Lisa was a real person though, and something about what she did in Origins caused her to become a manifestation in SH1, perhaps for consorting with Travis. I'm saying this could have happened with Travis as well. He was actively attempting to hinder the birth of God, whether he knew it or not, and i...
