for anyone who doesn't know, the OG dev team said in an interview a couple of years ago that James killed Mary 1-2 days before the start of the game, he put her in the backseat wrapped in a blanket. He says she died 3 years ago, because that is the time she got sick and dead to him in his mind. His hands are shaking in the beginning in the bathroom bc the sensation of killing her is still fresh, same with the wedding band mark on his finger. If you pay attention to the clocks in the game, every clock shows the same time, which is the time of her death. You even have to use that time to solve a part of the clock puzzle.
Laura: James, what's that awful smell coming from the backseat...? James: Remember when you called me _fart_ face? Well... let's just say there's some truth to that word.
@@whitemagerivers5294 Not sure it would be healthy for a 7 year old little girl to see the deformed corpse of her would be mother only for it to be randomly buried in some patch of dirt near the observation deck. If James truly cares about Laura's wellbeing, he'll take Mary's corpse with them and bury it in a proper cemetery where they can visit her to show their commitment of moving on with their lives (as she wanted).
If you get "in the water" ending, when James returns to the car and start talking to Mary, he sometimes looks at the backseat like she was there. So yeah, it's definitely the body
I bet that flower decorated fabric is in fact their _bedspread_ which James used to cover her body in order to carry it to the car without neighbours noticing.
@@Nilanjan35 Nope. It is a few days old body, not more than a week probably. Mary was killed recently, and James (in his delusion) had considered her dead 3 years back. That is why he lashes out at Laura at the hospital when she said that she met Mary in the hospital last year.
In 2012 Masahiro Ito confirmed that Mary´s body was supposed to be in the rear seat of the car. At 1:05 you can clearly see that there is a big gap between the blanked and the seat; so what I believe is that they didn´t put the 3D render of the body as to not spoil the ending for people who didn't play the game back in the day and who are just playing around with the camera, but they left the blanket to indicate that yes, the body is on the seat
@@shzreievony3534Its obvious they want to maintain the ambiguity. It's unnecessary put a body, it's a matter of player interpretation and the ending, since depending of that the body it's there or isn't.
@@CrismasterXD To be honest, i could see James also bringing Mary's corpse to Silent Hill even in the Leave Ending as a reaction of the town summoning him in order to face his inner demons and choose wether to admit them or take the "easy way out" with the In Water and Maria endings. That said, it's intriguing to wonder what would happen if Laura sat in the front seat and Mary's body began to smell due to natural decay.
@@javiervasquez625 I at first couldn't understand how to make an ending work where we leave with Laura if James is literally a murderer, even if it was in his happy ending. But over time I've considered the possibility that Laura doesn't exist either, she would be a reflection of James' conscience. That's why in the bad endings the last time we see her is when she reproaches us for the evil we have discovered, and in the good ending she "gives her approval" after reading the letter, that is, she is a reflection of James understanding Mary's message. And the reason why Eddie can see her is because He (Eddie) is in a deteriorated state of consciousness and the town makes it so that he can cross paths with the manifestation of James' consciousness, just as Jame crosses paths with Angela's demons when he goes down the black holes in the floor, which is a metaphor for the deterioration in James' psyche.
At the beginning of the game, shortly before you have to fight the first lying figure, when you wonder random houses on Lindsey St there's a bedroom with a blanket on the bed exactly like this, and it looks like there's someone underneath it.
This makes sense, if you walk around in the cemetery next to this carpark, there is a hole that was just recently dug and I think James was the one who dug that hole in order to put Mary's body there. That's why at the begining of the game James is actually washing his hand in the toilet and sweating(after digging a hole ) before his mind blocks all of those memories and creates those all fantasy in his head instead.
Man oh MAN! This is so cool. People have speculated that Mary was either in the trunk of the car, or the back seat for YEARS. Dude, I’m so happy Bloober did this. ❤️
Well considering that both "In water" and "Ressurection" endings involve her body that's actually a nice touch by bloober team, i wonder if the original also had her body in the backseat
@@THE_REEEE_KING I recall Masahiro Ito or some other Team Silent member saying her corpse was indeed in the trunk even if they didn't add any such corpse in the actual game.
There is a tweet from Ito confirming it was always meant to be in the backseat. "Not in the trunk but the rear seat. I don't think James is as cruel as someone who has killed someone and drives to a river/lake/in a woods to abandon the corpse. ... He put the body on the rear seat because he still loved her."
Yes, the OG Silent Hill 2 had mary body in the back seat. Just goes to show how unhinged James is with reality. He already knows she's dead, he just can't accept it.
Seeing this makes all the "car endings" so creepy and just proves that it's the body indeed. All the camera shots of him being afraid of looking to the backseat bc she'll be there and now he remembers. Could the In Water ending also mean that he threw her body into the lake? 🤔
The next game will probably be SH1, as it's by far the best in terms of story and it would make sense for it to come out before SH3 in order to make sense of its continuity.
@@rezariskisaputratambunan2408 Same here. Alas, it appears SH2 is "the most popular" of them all, hence why Konami decided to start remaking the series on a high note with the (supposed) most recognized title in the franchise.
That blanket looks suspiciously like there is a body beneath it, and of course it does because Bloober didn't miss a damn thing in this remake. I was especially happy to find this line: "There was a hole here. It's gone now." Nothing in a video game has ever stuck with me like that line. Has anyone else ever obsessed over it or is it just me? Seriously. The first time I read that was when the original Silent Hill 2 came out, and it has never left me.
It must have something to do with Silent Hill 4:The Room I think. In that game, the protagonist is trapped inside of his apartment and is only able to travel using holes. 4 has always been more connected with 2 like 1 was with 3. It features James Sunderland's father and the criminal Walter Sullivan. In the game files of SH4 there is a blue halo of the sun that's supposed to be superimposed over the hole, so it's possible that the holes are created by the order to travel out of Silent Hill somehow but it's just a guess
This is the first thing I looked for when James came out of the toilet. It's not very visible through the glass, but it was clear that this Easter egg was added by the developers.
I believe it's a nod to what Masahiro said one time on Twitter. There could be a body, but maybe not, since it shoud look more bulked if there were a person there. So, it's open to interpretation
I'm not sure, maybe someone else can confirm my theory though, but in the last room, where he and Mary stayed in, the curtains were flowery as well just don't know if its the same pattern.. could someone go and check, because all I can find is some blurry footage of the room, sadly. Did he just wrap her up into a curtain of their room?
I played SH 2 the first time durring the past couple of days. I played the remake. It's one of the best games I have ever played and the more I read stuff now, the crazier it gets.
The real question to ask at the end of this game is whether James is a good person or not. People pull plugs on family members every day in hospitals…James took an approach I don’t agree with but also see why he did it, but at the same time we can see his guilt haunting him throughout the entire game. This is what you call superb writing and character building.
The ending implies that he had good intentions but bad actions, It doesn't end up with him being bad or good being a question, It's more of what trauma and suffering James is going through. After all James watched Mary suffer for 3 years, Mary stated many times that she wanted the pain to end hence why James killed her because in the end she was going to die a extremely painful death or a quick one by James. The problem here is that James didn't want to kill her and Mary wasn't certain of whether if she wanted to die or not she just couldn't handle the pain, that's where this synopsis goes.. it separates Jamese's mentality by two dimensions Mary's pain is what shaped Mary into what became James guilt and misery - Damnation to Otherworld Her will to live is what Shaped James persistence and braveness - Key to Real World
Playing for the first time I thought it showed James as sleeping in his car during his travel to Silent Hill. After experiencing "In Water" ending yeah- this absolutely seals thats her back there!
People who played the og 2 decades ago already know this lol There was discussion back than in forums during ps2 time that after the ending it was clear
And in the intro you can see him carrying his corpse on the jail, very likely to perform the resurrection ritual of that ending, so he had the body with him
@@ivanaviNiebla That scene can also be allegorical in reference to James's guilt for killing Mary forcing him to carry her corpse as he wanders through the one place he deserves to be after what he did.
@@javiervasquez625 It could, but it would be the only scene in the intro, aside from maybe the one of the falling mannequins. But at the end of the day, almost everything on the game can be interpreted as allegory
She's definitely Mary in the back of the car. The Water Ending and the way James looks back at the back seat is a testament that something significant is there and why did they have to put that blanket behind the car for no reason?
I had that ending, but when James looks in the backseat, I thought he was looking at Mary’s letter. I figured that glance was James finally realizing what the letter truly said and not what he (in his delusional mind) told us it said in the beginning. I did see a glimpse of the flower pattern, but thought it was Mary’s handkerchief we collected as it did have the flower pattern on it. In no way did I think it was Mary’s body. If it was (and I believe you that it was), I don’t know how we as the player was to make that determination. There was nothing that I saw which indicated that James put her body in the backseat.
She died a few days ago not three years ago. Laura said the truth that she was sick three years ago and went to the hospital a year ago. James forgot memories about her death in the start game.
I've always thought the, since the first game, that Mary was in the back seat. Also I wonder how did James went all the way to Silent Hill without anyone realizing the smell.
The ghosts are represented by sheets, it could be the literal corpse or a metaphor for James' guilt, a metaphor like 99% of the things that come out in the game.
For the take Laura home ending.. I assumed. James burried her in the Cemetery.. There's a reason why it's the first place we go through the silent Hill. It basically means it's also the last place you'd go through. So yeah he probably burried her there while carrying her wrapped in cloth.
Such a cool detail. Usually not a fan of remakes because they destroy the initial vision, but this remake is almost perfect. Dare I say it even ADDS to the original in significant ways.
@@postmodeorg very interesting. Of course ito was heavily involved in creature and world design where Owaku and Sato wrote the story. So I’m very curious if one day we’ll get those 2 inputs as well. So many questions
I wouldn't take too much stock in this being always truly literal. If you believe the In Water ending is canon she is actually back there, but if you got the Leave ending, that blanket covered shape is simply a product of Silent Hill's manipulation.
@@kellevichy I read that the whole Mary’s body in the backseat of the car was just fan fiction. Then the developers said that it could possibly be Mary’s body.
So if she’s in the car, and he killed her 1-2 before the start of the game…why is silent hill so messed up and ruined, when did he get the letter and why did Laura say she was there with Mary a in the hospital a year before ???
I’m new to the game and just finished it, I don’t know much about SH so all this is super new to me, someone please break it down for me like I’m 5 years old
@@emiliodominguez1362 Silent Hill is basically a supernatural town that calls people who have severe mental anguish to confront their demons. It was literally spawned as part of a ritual, so it's not really a normal town. Laura was in the hospital with Mary a year ago. James didn't actually receive a letter, it was a delusion and the means for him going to Silent Hill. If you inspect the envelope near the end of the game, the letter is gone.
In addition, throughout the game you will come across areas or elements from the original game, such as on the roof of the hospital, where James falls after being thrown by Pyramid Head. This means that James lives in an eternal loop, reliving events over and over again, sometimes in slightly different ways.
@@indian_crocodileI dunno why you're acting like it's that crazy like this isn't a mystery that spanned over a decade. People have been dying to see this. They looked last time, they knew people would check this time.
I don’t get the timeline then. Did he just killed her a day before, then becoming crazy with guilt and driving to the place she loved so much? Otherwise this corpse would rot and smell like hell and there would be flies. 😮

Never was confirmed your spreading old rumors
She does the same hand motion/gesture when he kills Eddie.
It makes sense because James would've reconciled her death if it was years later, hes questioning whether she's really dead.
What about the letter then? What’s the timeline on that?
Is it actually true?
The "Leave" ending is gonna be so awkward when Laura has to get in the car...
OH NO YOURE RIGHT 😭
I thought of that as well lol then to cope I made it head cannon that James and Laura give Mary a proper burial before leaving.

Yeah! Maine can get a bit frosty. Dude just wants to keep warm in an emergency
Such a cool detail. Usually not a fan of remakes because they destroy the initial vision, but this remake is almost perfect. Dare I say it even ADDS to the original in significant ways.
Laura leaves town with James.. asks James "whats that in the back seat?"
James: "oh just ignore that."
I wonder how many newcomers had the ending spoiled by this video title
It’s was James All along
From one angle it looks like someone is sleeping there 😮
This is a really nice touch and also adds a new really creepy factor to the game lol. I love it.
What about the blanket on boat, from REBIRTH ending!
Ok explain this, if the body is there then how does the “leave” ending make sense?
I think Ito once said on Twitter that they intentionally don’t show James leaving in the car and he hands himself in to the police
@@postmodeorg very interesting. Of course ito was heavily involved in creature and world design where Owaku and Sato wrote the story. So I’m very curious if one day we’ll get those 2 inputs as well. So many questions
@@postmodeorgthen Laura is abandoned, again
I think thats laura actually. James adopted her and they live tigether in the game “remake” james is diyimg giving is heart yo her.
Its a blanket
He uses it when the weather get cold👀
It looks more like a _bedspread..._
Bro was just chilly
It could be a picnic basket And some other stuff
He dig up the body and took it with him?
I wouldn't take too much stock in this being always truly literal. If you believe the In Water ending is canon she is actually back there, but if you got the Leave ending, that blanket covered shape is simply a product of Silent Hill's manipulation.
Super, thanks. Please also look under coat in first hotel, in room when dead body sit on coach and TV still working.
I wonder what's out there is you leave the town.
Hey, what software did you use for no clipping and does it work on all games?
Its just a blanket
Use your brain and look at the outline of the blanket...
@@penmustache283 maybe just a stuff
@@karloxppp Or maybe ( and it is ) Mary's dead body - as has been confirmed years ago.
@@kellevichy it is?
@@kellevichy I read that the whole Mary’s body in the backseat of the car was just fan fiction. Then the developers said that it could possibly be Mary’s body.
Well done blooper
well...now we see that james is crazy and he pretended to have a dead invisible wife in the backseat XD
its him, if you end up in silent hill most likely you're dead. i could be wrong tho.
Could someone notice that by accidentt on the first playthrough"? or its hidden enough with the in-game camera?
I think its hidden. You cannot see it through the window
It's hidden, you can only see it with a free camera, like the comic sans ranch thing
So if she’s in the car, and he killed her 1-2 before the start of the game…why is silent hill so messed up and ruined, when did he get the letter and why did Laura say she was there with Mary a in the hospital a year before ???
I’m new to the game and just finished it, I don’t know much about SH so all this is super new to me, someone please break it down for me like I’m 5 years old
Sh is affecting james psyche the SH he sees isn’t the real town
@@emiliodominguez1362 Silent Hill is basically a supernatural town that calls people who have severe mental anguish to confront their demons. It was literally spawned as part of a ritual, so it's not really a normal town. Laura was in the hospital with Mary a year ago. James didn't actually receive a letter, it was a delusion and the means for him going to Silent Hill. If you inspect the envelope near the end of the game, the letter is gone.
@ okay that explains some of my questions, thank you so much
Those textures though. 😍
Wow they really modeled the car down to its chassis frame eh?
Can we see the stillness ending off camera or something?
Yeah I'll try!
Didn't Ito say she was in the passenger seat?
How did his car not smell?
In addition, throughout the game you will come across areas or elements from the original game, such as on the roof of the hospital, where James falls after being thrown by Pyramid Head. This means that James lives in an eternal loop, reliving events over and over again, sometimes in slightly different ways.
As for the original Silent Hill 2, did masahiro ito clearly deny it, so did he reflect the common belief to the contrary?
he literally said in an interview that her body is in the backseat
kind of a missed opportunity not to have her actual model there
If they did it would confirm something that's more interesting if left ambiguous
@@batteredskullsummit9854exactly
That's boring
why would they do that if you can barely see the blanket through the window? stop finding something to complain
@@indian_crocodileI dunno why you're acting like it's that crazy like this isn't a mystery that spanned over a decade. People have been dying to see this. They looked last time, they knew people would check this time.
There is nothing at the back seat. Soon a DLC WILL RELEASE just like the old game about Mary and you will know what happened to her.
Thank you so much❤
Certainly implies it!😊
Holy... that is so awesome
I always thought she was in car trunk, unless Bloober changed that.
Masahiro Ito confirmed himself that Mary's body is in rear seat in the original game as well. Not in the trunk which is a popular theory.
@@yaboiwarp Ah gotcha. I missed that original confirmation.
I don’t get the timeline then. Did he just killed her a day before, then becoming crazy with guilt and driving to the place she loved so much? Otherwise this corpse would rot and smell like hell and there would be flies. 😮
