Silent Hill 2 is a sport that leaves loads for the participant to interpret, because of its symbolism and sophisticated lore. However, one in style fan principle has been swatted down by collection artist Masahiro Ito, who appears to take explicit umbrage with it.

The principle states that participant character James Sunderland will not be taking a look at himself within the mirror through the sport’s iconic opening scene, however at you, the participant. Such fourth-wall breaking would not be something new for the Silent Hill franchise, but it surely apparently was not supposed in SH2, not less than in accordance with Ito.

“So many individuals have requested me. But it is a headcanon. James does not have a look at the participant,” Ito tweeted, together with a picture of the scene. “…In the primary place, why does he must see the participant who exists in out of the story? He is now there for searching for his spouse. Consider the context of the story.”

The announcement of the long-rumored Silent Hill 2 remake reignited curiosity on this fan principle, together with a number of different Silent Hill initiatives. Those embody Silent Hill F, which is being written by the creator of the When They Cry visible novel collection, and Silent Hill Townfall, which is being printed by Annapurna.

While some followers may take this official denouncement laborious, we encourage you to stay to your headcanon. After all, it isn’t like the sport is that clear about the rest.
