Who knows....depending on the Shephard, PH may fit perfectly. This stuff about PH being exclusive to James' psyche isn't entirely true. BUT, I wouldn't be surprised if PH looked slightly different from the SH2 version.
PH is supposed to resemble the towns old executioners. Clearly not unique to James.

What about triangle man fighting person man? That seems to be the most pertinent part of the song in regard to SH. That and whether particle man gets wet underwater (or if the water gets him instead).

Guilty of killing the person he's searching for?

The painting of PH in SH2 suggests to the gamer that he was an executioner back in the town's Crucible days. So his presence in other games doesn't really bother me... but why the movie version? I don't want to be reminded of that garbage at all.

It would actually be awesome if he was in the game as the manifestation of Team Silent's guilt.

As much as I love Pyramid head (and who doesn't?) could they include new bosses? The Pyramid Heads are awesome but the first 3 Silent hill games are great because every single one of them is different. Well I hope the boss fights are good this time around.
SH:0 butcher had potential too bad he was easy as cake, even in hard.
I don’t think is going to suck and if it does well I bought Alone in the Dark (And I enjoy it more than Assassin’s creed) and SH:0 which I also enjoyed.

If he’s a soldier coming back from war to search for his brother like they said...doesn't that imply there could be things to be guilty about? I would imagine that fighting a war would be able scar Alex's psyche a bit. Maybe killing people is causing him to want to torture himself. Maybe he's a huge hippie deep inside.

No, I have to agree. Coming from a war would make you feel guilty about some stuff.

Maybe he feels guilty about how war has changed? And Silent Hill gives him no place to hide?
Seriously though, it could be something about how he killed innocent civilians or fragged his comrades or something

I'll just be happy when the series gets over its love of SH2's enemy design. Seriously, it's the weakest and least scary title in the series, owing in no small part to the mostly-pathetic enemies. Creepy enough to look at, sure, but largely ill-equipped to actually do any damage.
I can't be the only one who thought Angela's story would've been more interesting to pursue in that game. I would have been much more impressed with James (and not found him so utterly reprehensible) if he had followed her up the stairs toward the end of the game.

Isnt PH a representation of guilt only in James's mind? To everyone else he is just the executioner.

You folks are aware that this game is being developed by The Collective, right? That's a virtual guarantee of suck. It's the Buffy engine re-purposed for the billionth time. You'll be doing combos and karate kicks on the undead, with budget-level production quality all around. Survival horror is dead.

Pyramid Head is like the FFVII of Silent Hill: Keeps coming back to satisfy the needs of fanboys.
My love for SH died with 4 (one word: fangirls), so people can do whatever they want with it. Can't get upset over something I care nothing for. Bring Harry back to life for all I care. People like Harry, what's holding them back?

Maybe they should scrap the whole thing as "Silent Hill" and just make a videogame with the unspeakable horrors within Macaulay Culkin on some homicidal analogue of LSD that takes place during 'Nam, and the 15 minutes of diarrhea before he goes An Hero.
SILENT HILL: HOME ALONE.
Think about it; It virtually promises moar cash than the Pyramidcow.

How about you guys shut up bitching, play the game and then try and complain. If you obviously don't like the games why are commenting other than to look fucking retarded by all the nonsense that's coming out of the assholes on your faces ?
As for the "fan service" comment in the article how about this. The makers are catering to what real fans want to see, and the fact Pyramid head is part of the towns history so shut the fuck up.

PH is in the game for three possible reasons:
1: Alex has guilt from what he did during his service in the military (killing people n all that)
2: There is another character in the game that has guilt n so PH is after him/her. PH ignores Alex unless bugged the crap out of or if u get in his way.
3:PH is there to continue with his executions as when he was still alive and still exists as long as the town is still standing.
But I guess we'll find out when we play n beat the game. Hopefully i'll still get that chill up my spine when I play it like the other SH games.

You are not a true fan of this series if the direction they're taking it in does not upset you in the slightest.
Seriously. Don't go and bitch and complain and tell me to "PLAY IT FIRST ASSHAT". All I have to do is some simple research and look at all the other "features" they've thrown in, and I'm disappointed enough already. They're recycling everything from that stupid-ass movie, and thinking they're being completely original. This looks like Silent Hill 2: Part 2 to me, if not SH The Movie The Game. All it's missing is Rose.
OH WAIT
