References to other SH games...
I'm trying to take screens and clips of the references to other Silent Hill games for my website. Are there any I've missed that you guys know of? I still need to take caps of many but I've made a short list at the bottom of ones I'll have up in the future.

A small nit-pick; Isn’t the “dead dog†graffiti close to the playground? If so, it’s probably a reference to the dog’s head in the basketball court. Also, you find a key in the dogs head, here you find the key in a can located above the graffiti.
Pretty good so far. Also this games is basically almost completely parallel to SH1:
You crash, meet Cybil in 5to2 (52 in SHSM), go to the Levin house, end up in Midwich, go to Balkans to meet Dahlia, go to the draw bridge, then to Alchemilla to meet Lisa, etc.
There are more references too:
Dahlia owns a shop called “Green Lion†in both games.
In both SH1 and SHSM Dahlia gives her daughter to the care of Michael Kaufmann.
Dahlia is similar to SH2’s Maria. As she dies, but reappears, unharmed. Both are also flirts, representing sexuality (in part). In SH2, Maria came from James’s repressed libido and desire to be able to be with Mary again, in SHSM Dahlia sprouts from Cheryl’s Electra complex, fulfilling for her fantasy of sleeping with her father for her.
Both Cheryl Heather Mason and Alessa Gillespie collect butterflies.
Both Cheryl Heather Mason and Alessa Gillespie are forced to endure a Carrie-like treatment in school. Humiliated, bullied and shunned, but never physically attacked from what we can gather.
The mall stabbing incident is a likely reference to SH3’s bad ending, or to Vincent’s “They look like monsters to you?â€- joke. While, Cheryl didn’t think Malcom was a monster, Heather did kill monsters in the mall, so this could be a what-if scenario.
I believe there is a sketchbook in the junkyard Harry crashed in, he’ll comment “It’s not Cheryl’sâ€.
The missing cat poster may be a reference to the locker cat from SH1.
Lisa comments about self medication being the only thing she likes about her job, and it being what keeps her going, possibly a reference to the original Lisa’s drug habit.
That’s all I can think of right now.

Jumping down the holes into the abyss of course! Thank youApocali wrote:If it counts the Holes as well as the Labyrinth, both from 2. And if it also counts. the sewer access to getting to Lakeside from the orginal game.
Ooo cool I'll have to check that out! Thanks!KM wrote:If you're doing audio clips: Ringtone #4 being (the beginning of) the theme from the original Silent Hill.
I didn't even realize that myself until randomly singing it out loud.
I plan to go into the parallels to between both Harry's treks and where and how they met people in my SHSM vs SH section (expand on this: http://shshatteredmemories.com/shsm-off ... ectations/). There's a whole lot similarities between the two games despite what many believe.Arsonist wrote:A small nit-pick; Isn’t the “dead dog†graffiti close to the playground?

For the homages section though I'm going to keep it to the more subtle visual and audio clues that people could potentially miss.
I forgot about the basketball dog lol you guys think it's a better connection? I was thinking since Harry passed by the dead dog before meeting Cybil it was a reference to that bloody mess in the original.
I wasn't sure if the notebook in the salvage yard was a big enough nod...but since you thought it was too I think I'll add it in. I was worried it would bee too much of a stretch!
Good eye with the mall stabbing...I thought maybe it could connect to SH3 but was having trouble figuring a way to connect the two. Making the parallel between Heather fighting monsters in the mall and later hurting a private detective is good!
I already have the butterfly connection... I just need a good screen shot
Dahlia as Maria is a great nod! Same goes with the Lisa abusing medication!
Thanks!

I know in the UFO ending there's James, and after James closes the door, when Dr. K says "Come to think of it, I haven't seen his wife lately", to the far left, Mary's (Maria's) demon form is hanging in the corner

I didn't see that! I'll have to re-watch the video!Escapist wrote:In the UFO Ending, if I'm not wrong, on the table there is a paper that has "Dog House" written on it.
I know it's on my list at the bottom. I just need to take some caps!

I don't see that at all. I can see the drinks behind Kaufmann and the poster, but no Demon Maria.paladin181 wrote:I know in the UFO ending there's James, and after James closes the door, when Dr. K says "Come to think of it, I haven't seen his wife lately", to the far left, Mary's (Maria's) demon form is hanging in the corner
