Talk:Silent Hill, Maine

Alright guys, here she is. I went ahead and added the games to History, because it just seemed wrong to exclude them. I'm really interested in seeing how you guys edit this article. We definitely need pictures, and cleanup/grammer correction is always welcome.

Have fun with it, and enjoy. TheGoodman 14:36, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

You know, I think I cna hear her purring. This baby done got herself a new engine. (No I' don't know what I'm saying either. I think you get the picture though. You done good Goodman. Real good. Goodman.) --Faded-Myth 14:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering whether we should mention the fact that the streets in Silent Hill are named after authors/novellists as a little tidbit of Trivia? Not everyone who plays the games would realise that instinctively. I also wonder whether a similar point should be made on the Shepherd's Glen page about how the few streets seem to be named after film directors. Kupo Mog Talk 10:06, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I made no mention of that fact because I thought I had seen it on the series page, but it seems not to be there. Feel free to add it. --TheGoodman 10:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Silent Hill, West Virginia
I've been thinking about this, and I'd like to see the film version of the town get its own page. The histories of each is far to different to cleanly include any concrete information into the main article. If we take that step, I suggest Silent Hill, West Virginia as a name. --TheGoodman 10:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A good point, and I'm in agreement. Not to mention they're two different canons, so it's a good idea to separate them. I'll make a start tonight, unless you've got plans too already. (Or Alessa beats me to the punch!) --Faded-Myth 10:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No plans here. I was trying to integrate some movie info into the article and it just wasn't flowing well. I look forward to what you and Alessa can hammer out. --TheGoodman 10:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm on it. =+) AlessaGillespie 19:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Comicverse Silent Hill
As I've gone about adding info for the comics, I've come to the point of needing to address the issue of how to classify the town as it is presented in the comics. Much like the film, I'm assuming Konami doesn't consider the comics canon and because of that it leaves the comicverse in a lurch-- Dying Inside and Sinner's Reward both share key locations with the game-version of Silent Hill, those places being Midwich Elementary, Brookhaven, The Lighthouse and Pete's Bowl-O-Rama. The other comics don't look to share any crucial locations.

Should I try and add the comicverse to the existing Silent Hill article, or just make a new one? --TheGoodman 21:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It would probably be best to start a new one, since I doubt the comics are canon (or my soul would die if they were)and they have many locations not found in the games. AlessaGillespie 01:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Interesting stuff I noticed
So after looking around in the Silent Hill 2 textures I noticed something about the in game maps. The map from the dog ending monitor is flipped upside down to match the map with the writing on it. The first three black circles are to show where the maps match up with the river. The Two blue ones are where the islands are matching up. So there's big islands on Toluca? or was going to be?

Also,the Toluca County page says "Silent Hill: Homecoming placed the game's town of Silent Hill, Maine and the surrounding area within a Toluca County." But, in the SH2 textures there is a sign that reads Paleville County. So it's possible that Silent Hill is in Paleville County and Shepherd's Glen is in Toluca County. It could also be true that part of Silent Hill is in Toluca County and another part is in Paleville County. Also there is a sign for Pale Valle National Park.

Well I hope this is helpful in some way. USS Command (talk) 22:41, May 17, 2017 (UTC)
