The strange white dot that appears on the screen in the game has any meaning or is it just a bug?.

I have that doubt, is there any news about that yet?

Black/White/Red filter seems to make the early game impossible?

Currently on NG+ after playing the game for the first time to try and get a different ending (I got the Maria ending which I'm assuming is the bad ending) and thought I'd try playing with a filter to make this playthrough feel a bit different. The Black/White/Red filter looks really cool but after actually playing through the opening with it I kinda feel like it wasn't implemented correctly?

It looks great in outside areas but as soon as you go inside a building you're suddenly completely blind unless stood directly under a light source. Most rooms are just completely black and it makes navigating a nightmare. Items and doorways are extremely difficult to find, I end up just kinda randomly running everywhere and hoping an item prompt appears in the darkness. I know I can just change the filter back and then turn it back on after I get the flashlight but it feels a little lame that I can't just start the game in this mode and play the whole thing without switching.

Has anyone else tried playing with this filter and had this problem? It can't be my picture settings I don't think because it looks completely fine on normal mode, turning the brightness up more just makes things look desautrated. If it really is just that the filters weren't designed with pre-flashlight gameplay in mind then I really hope it gets patched

How can James be seen as someone who can be forgiven ? (I just know the 3 base endings and not the remake ones please don't spoil)

I played the game for the first time a few days ago, the remake and got the maria ending. Im replaying to get all the remake one so please don't spoil them. Because i was so frustrated with this ending i watched the base game endings and felt that leave was the best and water too horrible for james.

To me James could be allowed to heal and be forgiven. I was under the impression that the murder happened in the context of a consented euthanasia. I thought james was crumbling under 3 years of guilt for having intrusive thoughts when he did it. I could complete understand that while these thoughts are horrifying, the situation is horrible and complex. Suicide is way to harsh, the letter drowning with his car as if he couldn't read what his wife said to him made me think that the words of his wife could be able to reach him.

I also had doubts whereas mary, is her appearence and words the product of his desire to forgive himself or an otherwordly appearence ?

Anyway as i researched the lore, i learned that the murder happened just before the game. It totally changed everything. How can his guilt be genuine when there's so little gap between the murder and the events of the game ? Him comming to SH seeking for his wife he loves only means to me he can only love his healthy wife, the gaslighting about the 3 years is vicious to me because i take it as him considering his wife died the day she got sick.

How can this man have any genuine love for his wife when he managed to only consider her when she was healthy. I get he tried visiting her and that it was hard for him because of her behavior but the behavior he has in SH is way way too disrespectful considering he just killed her. The letters being fake, the leave ending is just him forgiving him for a murder he just committed and hearing mary forgiving him as if thats what he wanted to hear. Massive egoist and monster behavior to me.

To top it off, maria is projected as this ideal wife, sexually suggestive and at his disposition. In the maria ending his last line feels lowkey like a threat. I get he didn't get anything and learned nothing but i don't believe his personality did a 180°, thats just what he wanted for himself deep down.

Knowing all that, the best case scenario, where he is the least self centered, is the one where he forgives himself days after a murder that seems less and less consented and asked for. When i read the leave ending is good and the most satisfying im just confused af. I did a 180° tho, to me the waters ending is the most satisfying one, james absolutely can't be forgiven.

Am i thinking wrong ? And again please don't spoil if im missing info on the other endings

Edit : please excuse my english as its not my native tongue

(Spoiler) Why were Eddie and Angela doomed to die before James?

I've thought about this for quite sometime, is there a proper reason? why is James the one to only escape but end up suiciding outside the town? is there a linkup to this?

How did OG Silent Hill players react to a certain character’s death in SH3?

I’d imagine I’d be hella shocked if I found out the protagonist from a previous game I went through hell with died.

Is there any significance with this graffiti?

If I remember correctly, right after the Eddie boss battle in the next room there's this graffiti. Is there any significance to this? I know Silent Hill 2 takes place in Maine so why would there be a graffiti of the state name Montana? Could this mean anything at all?

Anyone know which reviewers I’m looking for?

A few years ago I saw a series of videos made by three friends who were reviewing the Silent Hill franchise as a whole.

It was made on the comedy style of Red Letter Media, the Angry Video Game Nerd, and the Nostalgia Critic.

The channel didn’t do much beyond Silent Hill-related content.

Anyone else know what I’m talking about?

Mary’s letter discussion

I was hoping that someone here could explain Mary’s letter to me. I’ve recently played through the remake of the game and it is once again reignited my curiosity for the story and all things to do with it I’m learning so much more about it like for instance the fact that Mary’s letter slowly disappears throughout the course of the game. This leaves me with a lot of of questions like if the letter is not real what is read at the beginning and end of the game? Is it the town that gave us the letter or was it James’s delusion that he created the letter. Did he use the letter as a reason for him not to drive into the lake with Mary’s body in the backseat at the start of the game? I find it very confusing but would love to talk about it more to get a better understanding of what’s really going on in the game!

James as Harry... Potter

I was coloring Harry Potter pictures with my daughter and didn't realize until after i was finished that it looks strikingly similar to James.... I think? Wingardium Howthehellldoigetoutofhere-osa or whatever.

What’s your favorite unsolved lore / flavor text from any entry in the SH universe?

Of all the notes and interactable visual horrors throughout these games, what reference/moment has stayed with you the most? I'm talking something that haunts your mind, plagues your curiosity, and inspires your imagination every time you think about it. Would also love to hear some headcanons to fill in the blanks!
