Why Brookhaven?

[Lost]

I was just wondering why the hospital in SH3 is Brookhaven hospital. The story follows Alessa's past and she was kept in Alchemilla hospital. So, did I miss something?

[Nurse Babz]

She was looking for Leonard.

^What Nurse Babz said. Leonard was insane, so he was committed to Brookhaven. Alchemilla is a General Hospital.

[Lost]

okay, thanks. I haven't played 3 in awhile so I forgot about Leonard.

[PeachySakura24]

I wish we got to go to Alchemilla though. I remember being upset the first time I played 3 and there we never went there.

[Droo]

Well, be happy that Silent Hill Origins is coming out then.

[PeachySakura24]

I'd be happier about that if I owned a PSP.

That would have been cool to go to Alchemilla hospital again (and Central Silent Hill) with redone graphics. You could have found references to all sorts of SH1 stuff - Kauffman, PTV, Lisa, etc. However there are a few reasons they stuck with Brookhaven

1. Both hospitals exist in the series, however if they went with Alchemilla I'm pretty sure they would have to start from scratch in creating it, only having the old model as a guide. With Brookhaven it was a basic copy/paste with few additions/changes (since both games are on the same platform)

2. The rooms from SH1 which are important to Alessa (classroom and Alessa hospital room) are incorporated into the church/nowhere.

3. They are looking for Leonard, who is insane and would therefore be sent to Brookhaven which has that ward

Hum... So in SH Origins we explore again Alchemila, will be really intesting see the hospital will hi render PSP grafics!
Will be nice to see some of the SH1 parts with the new PSP grafics...

I would be really happy if we could just re explore the town's areas from the first game.

[PeachySakura24]

I'm with you, Arielis. I want to go back to the school, and back to the cafe where Harry woke up and met Cybil. *bounces around*

I agree, it's been too long. I was kind of hoping SH5 might return to Central/Old Silent Hill with a complete make-over (both architecturally and graphically). But this is good too

I'd be surprised if they didn't release it on the PS2.

[Sundered Angel]

^ Amen to that. As long as it sells well, theres no real question about it.

[Witness420]

I wish they would have re-released the first one for xbox or ps2 with an extreme makeover. Oh but you can live on fishes, you can't live on wishes.

I think the better question is, why was BrookHaven was in Silent Hill 2. I'll post a thread about it in thr SH2 category.

me too, because I can't find the first SH anywhere.

[Yana]

^EBay. Though they aren't going cheap. That's where I got mine from.

[LaraeGunn]

I personally can't wait for Origins. Mostly because of the Alchemilla Hospital thing. I would definitely love to see Midwich again, also.

Anyway, about Brookhaven in SH3, that's where Leonard was hiding, and if she would have went to Alchemilla it would have been too much story overload. Beating a dead horse, so to speak.

Although I will admit that SH3 needed a little more story, that's just my opinion though.
