Lisa as a playable character?

[Lynch]

Well, idk if thats true but it would of been pretty neat to play as maybe cheryl or cybil?
maybe like in RE4 where you get to play the counterpart as ada, maybe the same for cybil would of been nice.

@ Lynch: What're you thinking isn't true?

[Kaiza Killa]

What do you mean, MariaRising?

H+

i was thinking that lisa as a playable isnt true, or was gonna be true, or w/e

I find this pic to be a lot more similar to the Harry pic than that one, actually.

Yes, it's true. I have already saw it before in other web, but it's strange, I mean, isn't very similar to any existing character, unless a "young" Dahlia ... or something like that.

And there is another that catches my attention:

Is that Harry? It's kind strange too

yeah i agree too...weird...

[katanamaster40]

yup i think using lisa as a character would...Suck!

[lyneea]

Slightly going off...it would be cool to have an SH game where you play through as the 'main' character, but once you've done, it unlocks the ability to play through as the other characters you've met along the way from the perspective. I'd like it anyway LOL

[Modesty]

I would love it, simply because I love any excuse to play a game from a different perspective!

[lyneea]

And to not feel sad at going back and starting a game again as soon as you've finished it LOL

[Modesty]

I know! But sometimes, you're not ready for a game to end and no other came fills that craving! So you replay it!

[lyneea]

Agreed!

Poor Lisa, always sidelined...she barely even made it to the film!

[Modesty]

But she had very cool tears though!

[lyneea]

But I'm not sure she'd agree LOL

[Mephisto]

Lisa's not a goddamn angel like "everyone" think. She's far from it.

[lyneea]

I should hope not, that would just be boring...LOL

Lisa's supernaturally compelled against leaving that one room. Her gameplay would suck ass.

Ninja’d by… a month or so… Damn.

Still, she isn’t unable to leave one room, it’s just the hospital (she appears to be some kind of walking, personified, Seal of Metatron for Alchemilla). It would still suck ass though.

Another reason why I wouldn’t want Lisa as a sub scenario protagonist/co-op/tagalong or anything of the sort, is because over the course of the series, we learned plenty about her.

We got more then enough info in SH1, a little bit more in SH3 and lost memories, a lot in SHO and probably a whole lot more in Silent Hill: Cage of a cradle, a comic by Hiroyuki Owaku and Masahiro Ito, which, sadly, no one outside of Japan has ever read.

Silent Hill 1 character I’d like to know more about is Cybil Bennett. We are given nothing about her past, no reason for her apparent trust of Harry, she’s just kind of there. Which is sad, because I think she had potential. (I know she’s given a back story in the Play novel, but that thing isn’t cannon, and the back story is changeable and sucks either way)

Ideally, you’d meet her in the hospital after Dahlia, and would go with her to the Green Lions (getting there would be a bit more complicated, possibly involving a fetch-quest, similar to the keys of eclipse) and on the way her and Harry could exchange a few words. We’d learn more about Cybil, her job, Silent Hill’s drug trade AND we would learn more about Harry, his wife, Cheryl and his job as an author. Then some shit would happen, like having Cybil hurt by a monster near the Green Lions, thus giving us a rational excuse as to why Harry would be the one to enter the secret entrance and not a trained police officer.

There, that wasn’t so hard! Now we’re given a bigger emotional response to her bossfight, more info, and the Good+ endings and the alt intros implication that Harry and Cybil will raise the baby together wouldn’t seem so random.

I think it would've been totally unnecessary for Lisa to be a playable character. However, before I found out you play as Cybil in the play version on Game Boy, I thought you play as Lisa instead. It wouldn't be fun. You'd just be sitting there and hearing her complain about Harry not being around and not being able to leave the hospital. That's just annoying and not good for a game.
