Who is that? *potential spoilers*

[Darklingwistix]

Wow, I forgot all about the arcade game and it fits very well. Thinking about it, there were a LOT of random references throughout SM relating to all of the past SH games so perhaps this was just one more?

[AuraTwilight]

I'm just not seeing this figure well enough; why is everyone assuming it's a woman? Like to me it looks like someone with a hat and flannel shirt.

[SilentWren]

It looks like a kid to me, but I can't tell.

[Typographenia]

That is an amazing catch! Major props to you, Darkling.

I have to agree with the Travis theory. It certainly appears to be him, but I would much prefer to see a video of this scene. Really great find, though.

And people say the new games don't have as much stuff hidden in them as the old ones!
This statement is said in good humor and in no means in an attempt to antagonize fans of original titles.

You mean this place? You've seen it in the PS2-version or Wii?

Yeah, I really can't tell in the supplied photo if it is a female or male, young or old, just that it is a humanoid shape out there. I will *hopefully* be playing the game tomorrow at least once all the way through and will be keeping an eye out for it.

@Typographenia - thanks I love being rewarded with random stuff like this for exploration.

@X-rust - It was the PS2 version and yes it was definitely along the lake though that looks like the area of town after you travel through the building with the red door (I wish I could remember the name of the place).

I thought it looked like a girl, but seeing it again I can see how it could be a boy also, I can't really see it clearly no matter what angle I try :\ I could definitely see how it could be Travis simply being that it's Climax, but the idea of it being the girl in the lake seems much cooler to me personally. I hope someone can get a super clear look at this.

[X-rust]

Darklingwistix, I'll check the PS2 version

ETA:
So, this is difficult to consider it, but it looks like something mechanical for me





Also, its look like Lilian Shepherd


DO NOT double post, please.

[Typographenia]

X-Rust to the rescue!

Much better image, but I'm still not sure who it is. I have to disagree and say I still think it looks more like a person. Granted, it does look like they are rusted or something, but still very human. Looks more female to me than male, and doesn't look like travis anymore.

Perhaps Cheryl had considered suicide in the lake, but she couldn't bring herself to do so?
Maybe she would come to that place and look off into the distance from where harry is standing?
I don't know, but this is all very cool.

Much RESPEC`..."X".....i still can't make out the image as well, and it's clearly some sort of humanoid figure......to me it looks like a little girl...in that 2nd pic under the bigger image, it even looks like she's wearing a backpack....

[AuraTwilight]

It looks like a boy, to me.

I'm hoping it's not Lilian, though it would be funny if the only Homecoming reference in the game was something so impossibly obscure.

[Harrys_Girl]

^That would be amazing.

Great pics X-rust. Much obliged. : D

[Sepultcher]

That's an interesting find indeed!
It kinda looks like it's contemplating whether or not it wants to jump in the water.

Or

It's just very, very sad.

[jeremyjh]

I have beaten this game more then 16 time and I have never noticed this O.O Q.Q TY!!!!

[Doo-glas]

I don't think that's in the Wii version, I looked and saw nothing

[five5sixers]

I've never seen this, now I have to replay again. I also have the Wii version, Doog, so I'll definitely let you know if I spot anything.

[Aerith Gainsborough]

This is awesome! The figure looks kind of rusty/burnt, and it's definitely some sort of humanoid. Maybe a shoutout to Silent Hill 3? Memory of Alessa?

[Fevered Dream]

Too difficult to get a good idea from a blurry screen cap. Probably best to just play the game and see. Hopefully I remember to check it out on my next playthrough. Though my first impression is that it reminds me of something from SH2 just because of the color scheme and texture.

[VenusDoom]

We shold shoot Tom Hulett and some of the others who worked on SM some emails, maybe we could get a response.

[Yuki]

^ I think that's the only way we'll get an answer definitively, unless someone can uncover the textures and filenames somehow.
