Re: TOM WALTZ talks to ComicMonsters about SILENT HILL:PAST
This... is not something that the town of Silent Hill is able to do in that era of 1867. While there is some ambiguity in what sort of powers that the town had at the time, manifestation of one's psyche is specific to Silent Hill 1 onward. Silent Hill 2 and James' story can happen as it did because Silent Hill 1 had happened before it.Horror News Network: What types of monsters will we see?
Tom Waltz: As with all Silent Hill tales, we'll see monsters that represent the main character's psyche -- and Menton3 has some fantastic designs I can't wait for the world to see. One thing I do promise, though -- no Pyramid Head, no Sexy Nurses. All new monsters only.
I do hope you have a valid explanation for this.
Another matter of concern is that the intro of Silent Hill: Past Life's story sounds too much like that of Silent Hill: Sinner's Reward except that it takes place in 1867. I... unfortunately didn't enjoy Sinner's Reward's story as much as I wanted to, so I probably won't enjoy another story just like it.

YES! Thank you
Re: TOM WALTZ talks to ComicMonsters about SILENT HILL:PAST
No worries, Burning Man -- though there are dmittedly some similarities between the main characters of PAST LIFE (Jebediah Foster) and Jack Stanton of SINNER'S REWARD (which I'm sorry to know you didn't enjoy, but do sincerely appreciate you giving it a chance), the stories are very different. PAST LIFE is very much its own beast.Burning Man wrote:This... is not something that the town of Silent Hill is able to do in that era of 1867.

And, in the interview I do mention that the town "is on the cusp" of its changeover, so I'm confident you'll find the psychological elements we will be exploring in PAST LIFE are apropos to the situation and the era.
Thanks so much for your interest!

That doesn't really explain how the monsters can be manifestations of the character's psyche when at that time in Silent Hill's history it was impossible.
