Welcome to Gaia! ::

WELL, first off I would make more female lead roles- more like Heather. My character would be about 24 years old and well that's about all I can think of on her part. I would give her a drug and drinking problem, and she accidentally killed someone that was close to her in a car crash from being under the influence, but she doesn't take her own blame and wants to be babied by her parents and sister. So, she was 'called' to the hip hoppity town of Silent Hill to find salvation-- or whatever.
And I would give more Easter Eggs, more costumes and magic powers/weapons- and such.
Pyramid Head wouldn't be in it- because idk.. I don't like PH, and this girl wouldn't be apart of James' guilt- sorry man.
and if she got injured you see her injuries, but you can patch them up when you find a first aid kit and all that- but the bandages would show.
And if you didn't patch them up, the monsters would be able to sniff you out.
One of the outfits she gets is a rave girl outfit rainbow hair and neon colors complete with blinking lights.
I would also put in a co-op online. Or splitscreen, like RE5 in that the characters move independantly of each other but work together- but I wouldn't allow it to be so dependant on one another. But the option of double teaming a boss is still available.
And I wouldn't solely base it off of the movie - it would be very, very dark and lots of sexual undertones that not many can pick up on- but get a hint that whatever that monster is doing, isn't a handshake.
The way you get into Silent Hill though is because her car breaks down on the outskirts, and she walks into the thick mist and through a baseball field where she acquires her first weapon, an old baseball bat.
And like all SH's there is a side cast. The first would be a little snotty boy, about 13 years old, with really pretty blue eyes *irrelevant* who would help you along the ways- sort of like laura in SH2 but he's not as annoying and rides a bike.
Another would be an ignorant mother looking for her baby.
Third would be a d**k head white collar man, who swindles people out of their money.
fourth would be a bitter man, always with a snarl in his words- he missed out on the joys of his life and is always pissed.
This game would be a seperate peice from the the whole stupid occult deal, and just focus with the sins and problems of the characters.


I'll come back and edit this later. I can't think of anymore.

I'd make it possible to use any kind of weapon.
And I'd put damage effects onto the main character-
so when he/she gets hit it stays.
More exploration of course and more obvious options, like jumping over something instead of running half a mile to get to the door next to the room you are in.
And there would be more of a 'Karma' affect.
Like you keep using your health drinks after almost any hit- well eventually you won't find anymore.
Or you kill every monster you see- and eventually an even bigger/ stronger version of the ones you have killed most would appear or even a boss.
I would want it to be random- so you never really know what's going to happen next. To me- not knowing whats next is really f*cking scary

There would be NO Pyramid Head since originally James Sunderland created him with his own guilt. So I'll keep to the original idea c:

My character would of been a nun to the occult that worships Alessa-
but after certain events had taken toll, she wants out only to find herself in an even bigger nightmare.
