Some minor mistakes: When I said "Pyramid Head isn't here for Alex", I should have clarified a bit more. Pyramid Head is a manifestation from Alex this time around, and Alex resents his father. So, Pyramid Head is here to punish Alex's father, which is why I said PH wasnt here for Alex specifically. When Adam tells Alex he was in a mental hospital, that could be interpreted as Adam referring to the first dream. So the first dream sequence is Alex literally leaving the hospital! Pyramid stabs him to jolt him into his next dream in Shepherd's Glen. When Elle asks "what did you see in there?" I like to imagine she was asking about Alex's entire dream, rather than referring to just the final boss.
Hello! I'm glad to be featured or even credited for this short feature! I was so confused seeing i was mentioned here, and gotta say was pleasantly surprised. I'm listening to the full theory now!
You were asking the most important Silent Hill Homecoming questions, I had to feature it in the video! Thanks for asking the important questions, allowing everything to tie together nicely in my vid 💯
@RuminInLove surprised you didn't mention silent hill book of memories when talking about dreams in silent hill. It's main focus is having to fight through various dreamscapes to alter reality.
@RuminInLove surprised you found those old tweets lmao. Those were so long ago and was gonna be apart of a video i never made on silent hill homecoming
I'm a huge stickler for using all my own gameplay footage and Book of Memories is the hardest Silent Hill game to get footage of :( I hope Konami releases it one day without all the touch controls lol. I also used analysis from SH1, SH2, SH3, SH4, and Origins just in this one video so I thought adding even more SH games on top of that would have just overcomplicated the video 😅
I'm so glad someone else thinks this game isn't that bad. It was the first silent hill game I was able to beat on my own as a kid, so I had a soft spot for it. I always thought the hate for it was a little harsh, and now with this theory I can like it a little more.
The hate is definitely too harsh. I constantly here "it reuses enemies" and "the knife is OP" as criticisms despite the earlier games doing the same (handgun is OP in SH1 & SH2). Most of the complaints I've heard about Homecoming apply to the other games as well, but those games get a free pass while Homecoming doesn't for some reason. I would've lost my mind if I worked on this game and saw the backlash lol. Thanks for watching! Your comment is very nice.
Great video, just finished it. There's some minor things i think could be expanded or poked into a bit though, overall its an amazing, well-made video!
Also wanted to say considering your analysis and what’s in the game this is probably the most Jacob’s Ladder-y silent hill game of all, narratively and in its themes and even the military background of the main character
There are no facts only interpretations. I think what nietzsche said is mostly true in silent hill, also I finished this game recently so I'm looking forward to this video.
You didn't miss anything, it's going to take a few days to absorb the blow here 'cause the elite bubble simply exploded! Everything's very detailed and precise (her masks in the amnion and Adam's last mask, from the phases of sleep being illustrated by nightmares coming out of another nightmare with the respective fog, other and dark worlds) these perspectives are incredible! 0ne of the most complete materials about this work, with a decent edition and quality. Legit stuff man! *Congrats Rumin, a brilliant mind!!*
It's you! I'm so glad you watched!! I even linked your vid in the description, it's still one of my favorite Silent Hill analysis videos on youtube. The release of the SH2 remake also put a huge blow in elitist's bubble 😌🫧💥 Thanks for such high praise 😊
@@RuminInLove Thx for your best efforts! All of this improved my new week, and looking forward to you unraveling the 0rigins too. Everything is very well complemented! keep the news up
Fantastic game albeit I do wish the performance was better. I played using both quality and performance mode on PS5 and I wasn't happy with either mode's performance and it crashed on me. I also got stuck in place due to a collision bug and had to reset a few times. It's still fantastic though, it probably has the best combat and general gameplay in the series (I like how quick turning is mapped to just one button now, for example) and the atmosphere is spot on. The puzzles and dungeon design are also fantastic. It replicates the feeling of being trapped deep inside the otherworld perfectly.

Part of me thought, "I hope using these old obscure tweets isn't weird" but I also thought, whatever I'll just use them anyway haha.

He's back!
:)
Great video, just finished it. There's some minor things i think could be expanded or poked into a bit though, overall its an amazing, well-made video!
Thank you!! I feel exactly the same way tbh.
I'm watching your walkthrough for silent hill 3 and it's helping me out alot, thank you😊
Glad to hear it!
i've always disliked homecoming but your video made me look back at it and maybe change my mind
I appreciate the comment, I love showing the positives of underdog media 🥹
Also wanted to say considering your analysis and what’s in the game this is probably the most Jacob’s Ladder-y silent hill game of all, narratively and in its themes and even the military background of the main character
love your videos please keep it up
I'll try :)
The production of this is so good it’s like a true crime documentary. I’d fall asleep to this like it’s an episode of forensic files
This is extremely high praise, thank you :)
glad to see you still making silent hill content

Brooo an hour? I'm eating well tonight
Are you going to do a Silent hill 2 remake play through?
Maybe some day.
It has nothing to do with the video, but I would like to know your opinion of the SH2 remake. Obviously if it doesn't bother you.

Catalyst, not cataclyst. Stopped watching right there. Learn proper English.
@@LordFreeze7355 this is a joke right
NEVER DISRESPECT RUMIN 😡😡😡
I love you Rumin 🖤 Hope you start posting more i'm addicted
Good video! Homecoming is underappreciated❤
It really is underappreciated 😌
