Silent Hill 2 (2001) - Easter Eggs, Secrets and References you might have missed!

It’s crazy that even 21 years later we still can’t shut up about this game. We still want to know more

Not sure if they said it, but you fight two Pyramid Heads because you killed Eddie.

The battle cry that James makes with the chainsaw is a reference to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Leatherface does it!

Aside from the UFO ending there's a few vague references to the events of the first game. There's a few sinkholes scattered about South Vale, not near as many as you saw in Paleville in the first game but it looks as if Alessa Gillespie's influence did extend there. In the employee lounge of the hotel James can examine the schedule and see there's been no activity for a year, as perhaps it's been that long since the first game left Silent Hill a ghost town. When you fight the dual Pyramid vague outlines of the Mark of Samael can be seen on the floor.

I only just recently realised that the letter Laura loses is also very heavily implied to not have been real in the first place, just like the fake letter James receives that summons him to the town.

I found another easter egg. In the Hallway in the Hotel where one of the rooms have the briefcase with the Cinderella music box item. If you walk in the room next to it and exit out the room next to it and walk back to the end of the hall that you will hear a Man voice screaming. Which was a weird odd jump scare easter egg.

The message on the wall telling James to die is shocking to me because that's Silent Hill the town itself telling James to his face to die. its very much so in your face kind of thing.

This game is so incredible, even today. The psychology behind each reference... It's incredible. Never has a game made me reflect as much as SH2. Each character has an interesting, disturbing and intriguing story behind them. In addition to James, the protagonist, there is Angela, a character who suffered... What she suffered at the hands of her father, the creature represents to Angela two people lying in a bed and covered with sheets. And the things going in and out of the wall of the room where we faced the creature, represents the "coming and going", the "in and out", so you can already imagine all the trauma she went through over the years. Apart from the character Maria, who was born from a wish, but has absolutely no memory of her past, she only knows that she was created by James (because we control her in the game too). And there is Laura, who showed that SH is just an abandoned city, without any monsters, because as she is an innocent child, she has no sin that the city could take advantage of. Therefore, Laura only sees an abandoned city. And each monster has a meaning for each character. Simply incredible. I hope the Remake manages to extract all the essence of this game, that it doesn't disappoint.

You blew my mind with a few of these.

You forgot to mention that the world ritual played backwards says "are you sure?"

Excellent video as always thanks dude 😎👍🏻
