How silent hills probably would have been:
- we saw otherworld events happening in places outside of silent hill in the preceeding games.
- silent hills follows this to the conclusion of the otherworld expanding across america as it invades our world.
- so many protagonists in many cities and towns are suddenly met with entities coming into our world from the other, and finding themselves lost in the otherworld after crossover events.
- the otherworld of each place ties into its history, both known and unknown, past and present, as well as the psyches of those who live there, and most especially that of the protagonist of that places chapter.
- silent hills (plural) thus explains the plot with its title: many places, familiar and not, are becoming a silent hill of their own.
- silent hills will follow from resident evil and pt by going from third person to first person perspective, without losing the rest of their survival horror mechanics.
- at the end of the protagonists individual chapters, they all make their way to the source, that being the original silent hill, and then we switch to a second party already gathered, who are protagonists of previous games such as heather (now cheryl/alyssa, now adult) and james sunderland (now elderly), whom we now take control of, as they fan out to each explore their own sections of the town (james goes to the hotel, heather to the amusement park, and so on).
- at the end theres a big finale. But due to the new protagonists arriving and fucking everything up by being a bunch if clueless twats, its too late to stop the spread and the protagonists have only done enough to give the world a fighting chance in the coming apocalypse thats invisible to most normies.
