The "KISS" sign spells "SICK" in the reflection in the mirror, and ironically, it's positioned above Maria's head. She also has a squint eye and a droopy mouth while waiting in Heaven's Night. That's possibly a memory of Mary's face while she was sick, as she has a squint eye in the Leave ending, where she's seen sick. James might be having flashbacks of Mary in her deathbed while they're in Heaven's Night, making Maria's face briefly overlap with Mary's. #silenthill #silenthill2

Maria is wearing her OG SH2 clothes when she's watching James through a window in Bluecreek! She explores Bluecreek near the end of Born from a Wish, which is why she appears there. So her OG clothes in Jack's Inn might be more than just an Easter Egg. For example, it's possible she changed shortly after BfaW and left them there. #silenthill #silenthill2

Mary's body is in the backseat of James' car, here's an off-camera look. In the Stillness ending, he hallucinates that her dead body has come back to life. He killed her a few days ago and has since kept her in the car, according to the novel. He tries to convince himself she died 3 years ago, but in fact she was diagnosed 3 years ago, and that's when she "died" to him. If you look closely, the blanket she's covered with is stained in some areas, possibly because Mary is in early decomposition and her bodily fluis are seeping through. #silenthill #silenthill2

Comparison between James' and Pyramid Head's models without the jacket, apron and helmet. Although they're supposed to be the same person there's a slight difference in their body type, Pyramid Head is leaner. Notice the scrapes on Pyramid Head's shoulders, caused by his helmet (and a few other closeups of details). I added James' head to Pyramid Head's model since he's supposed to be something like an alter ego for James (he's normally headless under the helmet). #silenthill #silenthill2

A heartbreaking hidden detail in the OG burning staircase scene, is that James cries for Angela and wipes his tears when he realises she's going to k*** herself. This can only be seen by hacking the camera. Original video by @ Bigmanjapan on YouTube! #silenthill #silenthill2

Apparently Abstract Daddy can stop chasing James and just stares at him, smiles and acts like it's mocking him..?!? This triggered after I let him catch me several times, it made me really uncomfortable and I've never seen it before! #silenthill #silenthill2 #SilentHill2Remake

Silent Hill 2 has a hidden alternate Dog Ending, accessible only if you own the physical PS5 disc of the game. You need to revert the game to the unpatched verson 1.00 in order to get this ending. This is why physical media matters. It preserves content and access that digital ownership doesn't always guarantee. #silenthill #silenthill2

The moment James kills Mary from OG SH2 is shown on the inventory's background. Early in the game it appears distorted and slowed down because James is in denial, but becomes clearer and faster after the Pyramid Heads fight, when he accepts the truth. See end of the video for the OG SH2 scene. #silenthill #silenthill2

In SH2R, something completely different might have happened to Maria before meeting James, than in BfaW. The smashed bottle of White Chrism, with the liquid spilled out, is evidence of a different story that happened off-screen. In OG SH2, Maria brought the White Chrism bottle inside the mansion, to help Ernest. In SH2R's normal NG, the White Chrism is smashed and spilled out in the garden, and James can inspect it, implying it's important. Then in NG+ another bottle appears, and there's an uneasiness in Maria's voice as she recognizes it. Which implies she might have smashed the bottle herself in the remake instead of helping Ernest, for some reason. Something might have went wrong when she returned to Baldwin Mansion with the White Chrism. Maria's comments on the Baldwin Mansion also don't seem right. BfaW ends just before James and Maria meet, but Maria talks about the mansion as if it's a distant bad memory that she doesn't fully remember. It's possible she's lying because she doesn't want to talk about what happened inside, which might have led her to smash the bottle (and therefore Ernest failed to bring his daughter Amy back). #silenthill #silenthill2

I don't understand why in SH2R James can't attack nor kill Maria. It served as a subtle hint that James is capable of killing someone he loves, and attacking her with the chainsaw made her scream just like the monsters, hinting at her true nature. Instead, in SH2R James refuses to aim at her, and if the player tries to aim at her she simply complains about the flashlight. While attacking Maria may appear as a useless mechanic, knowing the full story gives it a whole new meaning, and I wish it wasn't left out of the remake. Perhaps they could have added just a little hint that it crosses James' mind for a moment to hurt Maria. #silenthill #silenthill2

In Silent Hill 2 remake, if you disable music and stand near this drain in Brookhaven, a man can be heard whispering through the hole. At some moments it even sounds like he might be saying "James", possibly, along with other noises. The voice stops after picking up the key. What do you think he's saying? (Featuring a look at James' animation at very low health) #silenthill #silenthill2

James' reaction to Maria offering him whiskey, and recalling his drinking problem... Notice how his body language and expression change. From the official SH2 novel: "After he lost his wife, James took to drinking and began to conceal his sorrow with outbursts of anger. It affected everyone around him to the point that his coworkers didn't want to put up with his sullen behaviour. Before long, he was treated like a trouble-maker." James' own comment from OG SH2: "... It's not that I don't drink. In fact, I drink a fair bit. To get away from the pain, the loneliness... But the drinking never changes anything." #silenthill #silenthill2
