The faces for the nurses and doctors that were used in the final game are completely different.
Would be neat if that happens in the remake if you save her.
Before the first boss fight, he didn’t have a weapon at all, and after the boss fight he is seen with the knife only one more time in the hospital rooftop cutscene. After that cutscene, he uses the spear for the rest of his encounters (and is shown with the spear in the painting in the historical society).
Yet the knife became much more remembered than the spear and is used in literally every one of his appearances post-SH2 (not counting the White Hunter comic Ito drew which gave him a new weapon). Always kind of wondered why that is.
The parasite is as big as her back and that thing was just inside her, presumably attached to her spinal cord. Also, judging from the stain on her shirt, the amount of blood loss seems huge. At the very least, it’s a miracle she is even able to stand and that she’s not in tremendous agony. And that’s assuming that Harry uses the liquid without first pumping her full of several rounds of lead.
Would she even survive for long? Ito confirmed years ago that she’s canonically dead, which would probably mean the regular Good Ending is the canon route but I find it unlikely she wouldn’t get a massive and likely fatal infection shortly after the Good+ Ending.
I imagine the eventual 3 remake adds back the planned cliffhanger of Heather hearing a baby crying, which Ito has said is canon. And I have to wonder if Heather’s post-SH3 lore in Dead by Daylight was approved partly because Konami already has plans to do an eventual sequel.
Admittedly, for some of them, there’s a huge difference between the artwork and the in-game models (particularly the night flutter) but the remake will finally be able to change that.
Preparation for KH4.
I realize gory death animations have never exactly been a major thing in the series, unlike Resident Evil, but I definitely feel like Bloober could do more than just Harry falling over. Especially since SH1 is a lot more visceral horror and has a greater variety of monsters compared to SH2.
It’s something I hope to see expanded upon in the SH1 and eventual SH3 remakes, since we only get to find and read two of these in SH3 original. That or even include one or two of them as Easter eggs in a new game that goes back to the town as the setting.
I’ve noticed that several of the otherworld exclusive monsters (nurses, bloodsucker, mutated groaner and air screamer) all have a theme of worms/parasites.
The nurses and doctors are obvious with the mention of parasites invading their bodies and robbing them of their free will. They always struck me as a direct symbolism of the god inside Alessa, especially since the god rips out of Alessa’s back in the Good Ending (since the parasites are sticking out of the backs of the nurses and doctors).
The faces of the air screamers and groaners becoming covered in worms, while less overt, also makes me think of parasites.
Even the cult itself, in a way, seems like a parasite to Alessa, with how they robbed her of her life for their own benefit.
Posted before but still think it’s an underrated attention to detail. Also one of the reasons why the nurses and doctors are the enemy I’m more interested to see in the 1 Remake than any other.
Whoever Bloober gets to voice and provide the motion capture for Alessa in the 1 Remake, I think it should be their goal to plan on bringing her back to portray Heather in the eventual 3 Remake. It makes obvious sense lore-wise and even seems implied in SH3 that Heather and Alessa are supposed to look alike (due to Heather having the same hair color, and the Memory of Alessa and the God looking like her). Also, it would tie SH1 and 3 closer together.
Obviously, this would require a lot of range for whoever Bloober casts but they certainly could do it.
An ending based around the hypothetical scenario in which Dahlia fails to stop the completion of the Seal, which was described in the 1999 Koshiki Guidebook.
Feel like Bloober could even connect this kind of ending to the eventual SH3 Remake by using the same Seal item from 3, kind of similar to using White Claudia for the Bliss Ending in the SH2 Remake.
Mentioned this in my last post but here's the scene in question.
It was discovered in a making of documentary for Silent Hill 3 that was released back in the day.

In the final game, the audio of the baby crying is removed but Heather still looks back in confusion. Masahiro Ito was once asked about this and said that it is still meant to be canon that Heather hears the baby crying.
Considering how, along with being a direct sequel, SH3 was meant to parallel the story beats of SH1, I presume that this was supposed to parallel the ending of 1. In SH1, after killing the god, Alessa is reincarnated as a baby and Harry takes her. Here, I presume that Claudia is reincarnated (due to becoming the new host of the god) and Heather leaves the baby.
I have to wonder if this will be reinserted in the eventual SH3 remake.
