1:54 - the theory was indeed that Mary was in the trunk. I believe it was Masahiro Ito who responded to a fan and said "No, she's not in the trunk. She's in the back seat", and then in a play through that Fungo did with Guy Cihi, Guy explained the Japanese murder-suicide concept of Murishinju, which is where someone kills their loved one and then puts their body in the car, then drives themselves and their loved one's body into water. This was what James was intending to do when he went to Silent Hill (before he entered the bathroom and had a psychotic break). The notion of her being in the back seat INSTEAD of the trunk is that it's more respectful to treat them like a passenger than like luggage.

Warms my heart that even 20 years later most of the outskirts of the map are just a flat png of a mountain or something.

I'm guessing the "body blanket" with a more pronounced look is the one they use for the "In Water" ending.
When James looks into the backseat, you can just barely see the blanket (it's heavily blurred) but it has the same darker color as the one thats under the map.

2:51 There it is! THE Jacob's Ladder!

"We're going to be taking a look at the dark horrifying and psychologically disturbing game Silent Hill 2... but first our sponsor, the most colorful and happiest game you've ever seen"

[leonanderson]

When the remake dropped, the first thing I thought was “I can’t wait for the boundary break video!”

[atomdecay]

Also, the blanket in the back seat is covered in Forget-Me-Nots, flowers given to signify True Love & letting one know you'll never forget them.

Masahiro Ito confirmed awhile back that Mary's body is in the back of the car, even before the remake

I love that Itoi deconfirmed the trunk theory and in the same tweet confirmed her being in the backseat.

I kind of love the moments where pyramid head is kind of....waiting for his line almost? Line in the hall with maria, hes not in shot, yet he is acting anyway. And then its literally like someone at the studio was like "Hey, they cant see you" and he was like "oh okay my bad" and just walked out of frame. And then when he is holding the mannequin but the scene hasnt started yet so he has his arms up just kinda....looking around.

In most games, they are locked in a pose til their animations start and for some reason this just makes me feel like they were having a good bit of fun at bloober while making this amazing game

I quickly skimmed, so you might have seen it, but the nightmare streets segment has an completely unused alley (the same you you leave the house into in the beginning), it has different buildings and textures from its normal counterpart, a parking lot and a unfinished alley that seems to lead to an unused clothing store.

Even weirder, forcing the game to display both worlds (quite easy to do, just defeat flesh lip without activating the theater and the nighttime transition). The Americana Cafe will have 2 generic character models inside.

The Baldwin mansion has collision on its second floor, and a empty door leads to a path straight to laura is on the wall.

Nightmare hotel has a few unused rooms on the north east side, second floor, the northeast first floor of the hospital has an unused room and a connection to that hallway, but it's unfinished.

I just thought of the Leave Ending. The Cutscene ends when they leave the graveyard. What happens when they reach the car?

Laura: "What's in the backseat?"
James: "Umm.."

I love how they left the comic sans sign as an out-of-bounds easter egg. They knew!

[Qwedgeonline]

Without fog it just looks like a sleepy midwestern town 😎

Actually the team that made the PS3/X360 port, received an unfinished source code of the game (few months before release). Because Konami management no one knows why, deleted every game source code after release. So one of the developers had an earlier copy of the source code on his hdd, and he sent it to the remaster team. Plenty of textures, FXs, final polishes not completed in this version, so the remaster team had to redo these assets again, but they had a strict deadline and missed some of them, or in some places they made a low effort work, like the comic sans sign.

15:08 Considering how she's crouching in mid air that probably is all the data they had. They didn't have the actor jump down from that great of a height when it was enough to jump down much less and couch.

[JJJoeJoe]

0:25 when you see the town from above it legit looks photorealistic. The devs did so amazing!

[hertznewroses]

Aw, I wanted to see that scene in the ending where "Mary" turns around and facemorphs to Maria. Neat little detail I don't see brought up much.

The contraption in the nurse enemies mouth appears to be a "scold's bridle" - It's a 17th century torture device used specifically for the "crime" of being a nagging woman that could have a variety of designs but all of them include an uncomfortable metal plate in the mouth that is locked onto the victims head.
