What Went Wrong? Silent Hill: Homecoming 

20:34 I can assure you that no, bolts/locks like that are not part of the everyday United States. You would only use a lock like that to keep something out/lock yourself in. Your normal doorknob's bolt creates a stress point on your door/doorframe. It's where you typically see doors break when smashed in. That's because the majority of a door can be flexed around that point. The top and bottom corners on the doorknob side having the most flex. If you have a lock at those points, you significantly increase the strength of your locked door as now instead of one stress point, you have two. (Ideally you'd have three one top, one bottom, one center.) Many storm doors have a similar setup. Keeps them from ripping through the center bolt and getting pulled off their hinges As for why you'd have something like that on an interior door, it would be to lock yourself in, protecting you from something/someone strong enough to break down a standard door.

I very much enjoyed the video! And though Silent Hill: Homecoming is my least favorite SH game, I will go to vouch one point. The mistake in the ritual wasn't done because Josh was killed, Josh being killed was incidental and an accident. The problem that went on with the ritual is that after Josh's death, his parents couldn't go through with killing Alex, realizing how much losing a child affected them and not wanting to go through anymore. It's not that the ritual couldn't be completed because of Josh's death, it's that the parents lost the will to lose both of their sons after the first loss, they couldn't find it in themselves to go through with it, which is why the ritual failed.

Really great channel! Loved your evil within review as well! Keep up! 🥰♥️♥️♥️

Also love your collection! So amazing! 🥰♥️

Great analysis. As awful as Homecoming is I've come to appreciate it over the years for just missing the point in so many astounding ways. It's like watching some guy using a soccer ball to shoot hoops while wearing their sneakers on their hands. You know it's fundamentally wrong but it's still a source of entertainment trying to understand how they came to said conclusion. I've been wrestling in my mind whether I think it's better or worse than Downpour but honestly they're so close in quality in my mind that I doubt it matters anymore. Edit: Quick correction, the movie was actually from 2006 not 2005.

Excellent & very interestingly in depth new video, talking about everything Silent Hill. Jack, me & my older brother love this game series, including the first 2006 film. my favourites are Silent Hill 1. 2. 4: The Room. Origins & Downpour. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.

i love your videos! keep the great work up ☺️

For all of Homecoming’s problems and plot holes (in what could have actually been a very good story), the boss designs are some of the best.

The issue of Homecoming was, Konami, what a big surprise. Double Helix don't want PH on the game, they even had doubts aboutt that, but Konami wants an advertising move. Konami wants a reboot of the whole saga, started with Homecoming, therefore the plan of PH and anything else was to promote the movie, take note, because this is the same plan they are doing now with the remake of SH2, since the movie Return to SH is the story of James and Mary. But also we need to take note of another thing, on Japan, PH is the mascot of SH, people wants more and more of this character, crazy, but this also explained why the plan of Double Helix was to make Elle, Laura "L". Because this will link Laura with PH, once again, that will make the enigma continue. When Double Helix said they based Alex in Donnie Darko, I really like this game even more, that's one of my favorite movies, this also explained why the PH stare at him, like Frank the rabbit. Come to think, they should create a PH with a Robbie the rabbit head, that will be more interesting. The clock thing was also part of this movie. SH5 is Donnie Darko and Hereditary, an story of a weird teenager in a broken family, SH2 is a more like The others, I don't know why some people said is the same game, not at all, Alex had an accident, just like the sibbings on Hereditary, james with Mary was a more complex situation, he fell in vices, while she was in a the hospital, he was drinking a lot, going to night clubs, also James seems to be into BDSM, something that Mary didn't, this explained the new wife Maria, a wild Mary, or Bloody Mary perphas, party Mary. Double Helix isn't the problem of SH5, not even Tomm Hulett, he doesn't want PH there either. All the blame is for Konami, because they want a game that will be a hit in Japan and in Western. PH is very popular in Japan. But on Western PH is a manifestation of James, which could be, but not exactly, PH is more like a remorse, or anger that James had for the doctors around Mary, he saw them like butchers, that didn't listen, that explained the suit of PH, and also the Helmet, like he can't listen anything. The PH on Homecoming is more like a god, which ironic that's the ending of Hereditary, and also in one ending of Homecoming, Alex is turning in a PH.

Biggest problem with Homecoming is the camera controls. I remember it being sluggish with no way to actually adjust it on PC. Other then that I don't remember much about it.

new silent hill games on the way yess

Gotta go to work but ik u don’t make bad vids so this bangers on the got next like its 2k

Those are the worst type of games. Not completely rubbish but bad with some redeeming features. You can see a good game in there, being strangled by the naff aspects around it. Great video as always, looking forward to the next 🙂

I honestly enjoyed homecoming. I think it’s better than the evil within. I’m not blaming double helix for it. Konami was the one who made silent hill go through the dark times.

Great video. It's always interesting to hear people's opinions on the Silent Hill-games, especially of they've had a different journey than myself. I played 1-2 in fairly close proximity to each other (to the degree that I can't remember which I played first), then followed the rest as they came out. I love 1-3 about equally, though 3 is probably my personal favourite, being both the scariest and the most fun to play in my opinion. Also, I love Heather as a character. XD I love the story in 4, but find it to be the least fun to replay out of the Team Silent-games. Origins and Homecoming are about equally bad in my opinion, with meh gameplay and fanfic-level stories, though I can see how their more Hollywood-style approach make them easy to like for some people. Downpour has some good ideas but is hampered by technical issues and a clearly limited development-time. Shattered Memories is easily the best of the post-Team Silent-games in my opinion, but that one is not really scary at all, even though it's a fairly interesting reinterpretation of the original game.

Is there ANYONE that enjoyed this game?

I only played 2, 3 and Homecoming of the series. All the way through anyway. Homecoming is not a very good game, but I wouldn't call it the worst thing in the world. It defo feels like Silent Hill made by people who don't really get Silent Hill. However, those monster designs are genuinely great and Akira Yamaoka is still on good form with his music. Thing is, Silent Hill really should have ended with 3. Where the hell do you go with a series after killing "God?"

dl1 theme lel

I disagree with your video. While I respect your take I think you discount a lot of aspects that make this game good to fans like me, I find Homecoming to stand strong on it's own and deserves a lot of respect for what it trys to do and I don't find SH fans appriciate that cause they are too enamoured with the original 4 games that I feel are amazing but not something that Homecoming destroys by being apart of.

I honestly think shattered memories is slept on its the only one I’ve played but I’ve seen tons of vids of the actual team silent games and even tho its not as scary it def falls in line with the whole point of silent hill and understood what it was and how its more then just a setting like silent hill is a mind space not just a location idk hard to explain
