For 23 years, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Silent Hill 2 fans have speculated that James Sunderland is trapped in the town, reliving the events🍸 of the game over and over again as punishment for killing his wife. Well, one fan has finally proven this theory true, as the newly added Strange Photos sp🔯ell out, "YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO DECADES".

They figured this out by counting the number of 'things' in each photo, such as windows, birds, lipsticks, etc., and then using that number to find a letter from each c𒁃orresponding note.

There was plenty of evidence in the original, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the remake has more obvious hints such as the "Glimpses of the Past". They show puzzles, paths, and props from the 2001 game, but their signifance to James clearly goes beyond mere Easter Egg, as he mentions throughout that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:he has a strange sense of deja vu.

The boꦑdies found throughout both the original and the remake also bear a striking resemblance to James, alluding to failed loops where he died before ever reaching the end. That's not to mention that in the Rebirth ending, he cuts Maria off, knowing what's about to happen because he has gone through thisﷺ rigmarole already (further evidenced by the fact you can only do this in NG+).

That Means Silent Hill 2 Remake Is A Sequel

We can gather through the Glimpses to the Past, old Silent Hill 2 map, broken puzzle pieces, corpses that look like James, and even Maria's original outfit, that the r🦩emake is actually a sequel to the original.

We also discover in the fourth game that Frank Sunderland's "son and daughter-in-law disappeared in Silent❀ Hill".

We don't know what ending is 'canon', but going by the fact that the old endings reappear in the remake, it's likely th෴at they all were (at least, the serious ones). No matter what James does, he wakes up in Silent Hill and lives out this nightmare all over again.

With the Strange Photos confirming that James has been here for two decades, it even confirms — the Silent Hill 2 remake takes place after Silent Hill 3, technically.

Twitter user @DeadheadJackal speculated that the easter eggs in Room 106 from Jack's Inn (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Douglas' hat and the Halo𝔍🉐 of the Sun sigil) are more than just a callback, the♕y're evidence that James has been trapped in the loop for so long that Heather Mason went through the events of the third game long ago.

Whether he actually escapes at the end of t꧋he remake at long last is another question, but going by the original game which likewise had the Leave ending, I'd say it's unlikely.
