Neatly, as showed by means of inventive director Mateusz Lenart, one fan has in any case confirmed this concept true, because the newly added Extraordinary Footage spell out, “YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DECADES”.
They figured this out by means of counting the choice of ‘issues’ in every picture, similar to home windows, birds, lipsticks, and so on., after which the use of that quantity to discover a letter from every corresponding word.
There was once quite a few proof within the unique, however the remake has extra evident hints such because the “Glimpses of the Previous”. They display puzzles, paths, and props from the 2001 recreation, however their signifance to James obviously is going past mere Easter Egg, as he mentions during that he has a extraordinary sense of deja vu.
The our bodies discovered during each the unique and the remake additionally undergo a placing resemblance to James, alluding to failed loops the place he died sooner than ever attaining the top. That isn’t to say that within the Rebirth finishing, he cuts Maria off, realizing what is about to occur as a result of he has long gone thru this rigmarole already (additional evidenced by means of the truth you’ll be able to most effective do that in NG+).
That Approach Silent Hill 2 Remake Is A Sequel

We additionally uncover within the fourth recreation that Frank Sunderland’s “son and daughter-in-law disappeared in Silent Hill”.
We do not know what finishing is ‘canon’, however going by means of the truth that the outdated endings reappear within the remake, it is most probably that all of them have been (no less than, the intense ones). It doesn’t matter what James does, he wakes up in Silent Hill and lives out this nightmare far and wide once more.
With the Extraordinary Footage confirming that James has been right here for 20 years, it even confirms every other fan concept — the Silent Hill 2 remake takes position after Silent Hill 3, technically.
Twitter consumer @DeadheadJackal speculated that the easter eggs in Room 106 from Jack’s Inn (Douglas’ hat and the Halo of the Solar sigil) are greater than only a callback, they are proof that James has been trapped within the loop for goodbye that Heather Mason went throughout the occasions of the 3rd recreation way back.
Whether or not he if truth be told escapes on the finish of the remake in the end is every other query, however going by means of the unique recreation which likewise had the Depart finishing, I would say it is not likely.
