SH3 - Vincent's eyes are mismatched. His left eye has a noticeably larger pupil than the right eye, and they look in different directions.

A look at Pyramid Head's various Great Knives throughout the series. In SH2, the edge of the blade is continuous with the handle. It was designed with the intention of being one half of a pair of scissors, as can be seen in the axis at the end of the handle.

The Creepers were redesigned between Silent Hill 1 and 2. Their antennas and both front and hind legs were shortened, they lost two of their four middle legs, became hairier and more "compact", and lost their mouth appendage in their underside, replaced with a worm clutter-like texture.

SHD - One of the sidequests involves Murphy going into an empty movie theater, where he can enter three "films" that he proceeds to assemble into one long reel. The product is loose scenes in locations already seen in cutscenes with no context, and ends when Murphy gets a gun from the attic.

Let's dissect the new map shown for the movie universe's iteration of Silent Hill.

Let's dissect the new map shown for the movie universe's iteration of Silent Hill.

SH3 - A document in the church mentions that drawing the Halo of the Sun in blue is a curse on God and is forbidden. A blue Halo of the Sun doesn't properly appear ever in the franchise, but there is one in a similar hue painted above the door that leads to the mall's 3F atrium.

Because of the various inspirations behind the town, Silent Hill is a geographical mix based on Illinois (Paleville), California (South Vale), the Czech countryside and the Pacific northwest (Pleasant River) and the Japanese towns of Towadako and Tazawako (lakeside town idea).

SM - After picking Harry up from the Levin Street house, Cybil momentarily stops in front of a doghouse that is left in plain view of the passenger window. This calls back to the Levin Street house of the original game, and its famous doghouse.

My situation is a bit tight, so I'm saving as much as possible in case of emergencies. ko-fi.com/captainleona

SH0 - Remnants and Ariels are the only enemies in the game that are restricted to their introductory level. All other enemies make appearances in multiple levels or return for the Otherworld streets segment at the end.

HC - Some Homecoming maps have problems with cardinal directions. The "North" and "South" family crypts at Rose Heights directly contradict the "East" and "West" gardens, and the Church of the Holy Way's wings are labelled "west" and "east", despite actually being north and south in the outside.

SH4 - The outline of the sealed storeroom of Room 302 can be faintly seen in Joseph's prologue at the end of the hallway.

SHD - Queen Burger was a Burger King parody place in Old Silent Hill that was only seen in Silent Hill 1, with no other locations in the games. Downpour brought it back with a new location in Chastain Heights, across from the Shadow Play sidequest apartment.

SH3 - In some occasions, after killing all enemies in the Church meeting room, the blood corruption will dissipate into circle patterns that expand until disappearing.

SH1 - Cybil's death FMV is a high quality version of the Puppet enemies' death animations, which shows just how graphic they really are.

SH0 - The game and Travis are pretty infamous for the portable TVs that can be used as a throwable one-hit-durability weapon and how many he can carry, so it might be a little surprising to know that there are only three of these in the entire game.

SH0 - In contrast to the normal Carrions, Carrion Mothers have rotten straight teeth, very diseased skin with open sores, and in the PSP version only, they dissipate into the same clouds Momma attacks with when they're killed.

I'm back from seeing my favorite band, so I didn't have a Halloween post. So for something different-ish, what are some odd misconceptions you've seen shared about the franchise? Preferably no Pyramid Head stuff (way too much). Weird stuff that makes you think "did we even play the same thing?"

SH1 - Rompers' faces are split down the middle vertically. This is more visible in their official art, but their in-game model shows it too.

SH2 - Pyramid Head's helmet opens a handful of times in the game. He pries it open in the closet scene, then it slides open while strangling James (first boss fight) and when killing Maria (both times). He finally pries it open when he kills himself at the end of the game, and stays like that, dead.

SH3 - The save point in Brookhaven Hospital's 3F storeroom is drawn over a blank version of the US Constitution.

SH1 - Because Cheryl's model is almost never seen in-game, it doesn't really convey to the player how similar she is to Alessa. Indeed, her model and Alessa's flashback model have an identical body and face.

SM - Drawings in the art room at Midwich High School call back to the Tarot cards in Silent Hill 3, where the Eye of God represents the cult's god itself. In the Silent Hill Chronicle, which uses a tarot motif, the cult itself is represented by the Tower.

Come meet a few of our many key team members at NeoBards talk about some of our design philosophies that helped bring SILENT HILL f to life! (English subtitles) #silenthillf youtu.be/tdXq7fh1xzY?...

I've updated my tier list templates to include Silent Hill f now. Characters and Enemies lists are "ultimate" as in they have about pretty much everyone from the series, but Locations is just prominent games. shorturl.at/y2Y2f (Characters) shorturl.at/OqksW (Levels) shorturl.at/lPdS6 (Enemies)

SH3 - Heather can call Claudia a bitch even earlier in the game, if she tries to follow Claudia through the rooftop access in the Missionary fight.

HC - Besides just being used for plot objectives and to view collectibles, Alex' journal was planned to also have his comments on the people he meets and the monsters he fights, just like Hinako does in SHf. The feature was never finished, but some of the text is still in the files.

SH Downpour - The Shade went through a few designs, starting as a humanoid shadow with a distorted face (possibly a placeholder?), then becoming just a face among dark clouds and lightning (seen in the accidentally uploaded WIP trailer) and finally becoming an abstract void of light.

James Sunderland and SM Harry Mason are the only major protagonists to not wake up from a dream sequence at the start of the game, although SM Harry does wake up from being knocked unconscious in the crash. Travis is not fully asleep, but he is falling asleep at the wheel with micro dreams.

opening up a mystery box from Konami ! so grateful for this ❤️ so excited for silent hill f!!! watch the full video here: youtu.be/3D-E7V27hJ8?... #silenthill #silenthillf

NeoBards will also be at Tokyo Game Show 2025 this year! Swing on by if you're at the show and say hi. I will most likely be chained to this booth for the entirety of the show 😇

SM - In one of the call variations for Bedrock Security's number, the guard on the other end will point out that Harry is not in any of the security cameras nor has activated any alarms.

SM - The Guilt test has the most complex values in the therapy segments, as every single possible combination has its own different score for the player's profile.

HC - The oddly named "Boiler Room" in the Central Silent Hill map is a store named Koontz Limited, but the map doesn't use that name for some reason. There's sign letters on its roof too, but it's usually very difficult to see through the fog.

Despite being the location of a major scene in Silent Hill 1, the lighthouse never appeared nor was mentioned again in a main canon game besides a reference in SH4, but it did make appearances in the Dying Inside comic and the lost Double Under Dusk digital release.

SH3 - The painting that was in Alessa's sickroom in SH1 was replaced by a more elaborate painting depicting Prometheus' punishment in Greek mythology, although the eagle that eats his liver is positioned over his head instead.

SHD - The cable car ticket that Murphy obtains to head to Devil's Pit is dated June 26th, which is the date he would've been granted parole if the attack on Frank Coleridge hadn't happened.

HC - The secret hotel room Josh is in, which references Room 111 from the movie, is in the third floor, so it's numbered 306. However, the files for the door and key label it Room 206, which matches the number that consistently reappears through the game.

SH2 - While James often dismisses reading books and such through the game, he usually comments that they don't seem useful. However, there's a file in Brookhaven about a personality disorder test that he refuses to read, solely because he doesn't want to. He refuses to acknowledge it afterwards.

SHD - Among the files for the Full Circle ending's environment, there's an appearance by Homer, the homeless man in the Silent Hill underground, who isn't seen anywhere in the ending itself. The ending only features Murphy and the Wheelman, along with the voices of Howard, DJ Ricks and JP Sater.
