He is unwittingly blundering towards the resting place of Alessa/Cheryl, who is attempting to stop him with the monsters and Otherworld transformations. Harry suffered a head injury during the crash and now believes himself to be Cheryl's father. However, Cheryl/Alessa used her psychic powers to cause him to crash in an effort to get revenge. Afterwards, he felt intense guilt about it and attempted to leave Silent Hill forever. Shattered Memories showed the elements of Reality as Cheryl remembered them, and Silent Hill was Harry's delusional dying dream which included references to real people that he knew, Wizard of Oz style.Ĭheryl isn't Harry's daughter- he kidnapped her to use in the Order's ritual of re-uniting the two parts of Alessa's soul. I always thought it was a sequel to the bad ending of Silent Hill. Bear in mind that it's well established that Cheryl and Harry have been living in Silent Hill their whole lives, whereas in Silent Hill 1 (and 3) they both lived far away from the eponymous town.Provided you're willing to accept the ending in which the entire first game is a delusion created by Harry's dying mind. Now that the game's actually out, this is kind of true.These are the Shattered Memories the title refers to. The ghosts of events from Silent Hill are replaying themselves over and over and growing more fractured and shattered with time, starting with the New Game Plus and ending after possibly numerous playthroughs of SM. The fact Harry allegedly 'lives' in Silent Hill now is another. The fact it's set now, in the 2000's instead of the 1980's like Silent Hill is the first clue. It's not Harry that wants his daughter it's that Cheryl wants her father. It's just that you've got the roles switched. So, he went crazy and burned down the whole house in a drunken rage, killing both his wife and Alessa. This is especially true if Harry states on his form that he enjoys roleplay during sex. They would roleplay as if Alessa was his daughter named "Cheryl," complete with schoolgirl uniforms and items imported from Japan. So, This Troper's theory goes something like this: Harry was cheating on his wife and doing it with Alessa, a seemingly ordinary 16-year-old girl and perhaps best friend of Dahlia the stripper. There's also all the sexual imagery in what's been shown so far, like the pinup calendar.Some of the puzzles shown so far, such as having to undo the clothing of mannequins in order to find a key.The themes of unfaithfulness and needing "something" to make it through the day, not to mention all the talk about secrets.I know the game's not even out yet, but there's plenty to work with in the meantime for a crazy theory: Kaufman why he abandoned his route to wander around an old, empty mining town while overlaying a dream about a semi-successful resort town near his home over his experience? Re: Travis: Maybe he ran for days on end at a time with literally hours of sleep over several days, to the point that he started hallucinating and generating straight-up false memories, and the game is him recounting to Dr. Re: Alex: He could even be under treatment for PTSD, and the games progression is the doctor stupidly (or accidentally) but successfully convincing him that he wasn't a soldier.So, Silent Hill 1 and 3 are him working with Cheryl (note that he writes about a follow-up visit over the end credits), Silent Hill 2 deals with sexually repressed and murderer in denial James (which is why he "hasn't seen his wife lately"), Silent Hill 4 is coaxing out the secluded and eternally shy Henry (or maybe working with Sullivan?), Origins is with Travis (but what would he be seeing a psychiatrist for?), and Homecoming has Alex and his soldiering delusions and serious parental esteem issues.However tongue in check it maybe, it keeps everything canon.and somewhat based in reality. Kaufman, and is hinted as much.in the UFO ending. Finally, the PSP version has a lot of issues with the framerate (PSP-1000) and I feel the experience is not immersive, the PSP leaves it reduced to a casual game.All the main characters where patients of Dr. The port is playable, but at least I wouldn't spend 200+ bucks on a physical copy lol, literally I have a burned one. The PS2 version is ok, but you can notice the downgrade in the graphics. At least it didn't happen to me, and it's the first time playing with a Nintendo console (I've only had Playstations lol). You can honestly realize that the game is made for Wii, but I recommend first asking yourself if the Wiimote won't bother you. I must say that the SM experience has been quite good (very immersive and didactic), but sometimes it's a bit frustrating the precision of the Wiimote, especially in nightmares. I bought a second hand Wii last week and this is the first time I've played on one.
