Every Reference in Silent Hill

Here's every reference in Silent Hill.

Gosh darn that's extensive. The "Study Dammit!" poster always brings me joy; I didn't know it was actually a reference

I'm wondering why the picture on The Escapist's main page was from the Silent Hill film, though (or it might be Homecoming, I've not played that in good while). I got the impression that this would be a collection of all the references that film makes to the games.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Dear God...that was impressive for sure. I knew the franchise was inspired by a lot of stuff and borrowed a lot of stuff, but I had no idea it went this far. A few of these felt a little bit like reaching--the way the lady turns her head and the Tremors one--but they were drowned out by all the other stuff.

That Kindergarten Cop one caught me by surprise. That's just funny right there.

I need to watch Jacob's Ladder now... dammit Konami why did you have to cancel such a great series T__T

I almost want to be cruel and suggest that you now tackle every reference in the Fallout series.

But I assume you have a life that you'd like to get back to at some point..

That's a very thorough catalogue, kudos.

I actually started working on Fallout 3 before this one but put it on hold because there were too many references. I figured it would be more timely to do Silent Hill and have it out before Halloween.

Now that this is done, I'll start back on Fallout. I'm doing 3 because (yes its shameless) I know it would get more views than if I started with 1. I'm also limiting it to the core game and then I figure I'll come back to do the expansions as separate videos.

So I'll be tackling that one a little at a time. Most likely it will be ready sometime in 2016. lol

Woooow, that's a LOT! Nice research!!!

That was insane, thanks.

P.S.: PULL THE LEVER!

damn. i wish SH came out for pc. i have only played part 2 but never part 1.
but its amazing how many references are used in it. certainly interesting. some of these movies i actually should watch again and see the once i havent seen at all.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I already knew a good chunk of the references, but there were still a few I didn't know.

Man, I should totally replay this for Halloween since it's been a long time since I've played it, and I loved it when I first played it years and years ago.

Nicely researched video.

 

[Strazdas]

Thats mighty extensive. I wonder though with so much being a similar name thing, how many of them are actually coincidences, or in some shop cases perhaps the shop is named after silent hill instead?

 

[Autiopath]

Silent Hill is by far the scariest game I've played in a long time. The Dead Space games are a close second. I got stuck in Silent Hill 2 in the goddamn apartments, and I never played any of the other games.

Good review. So many references.
