Silent Hill: Homecoming (Also know as Silent Hill 5 or Silent Hill V) is the 6th installment of the famous horror series, Silent Hill. Silent Hill: Homecoming follows the story of a soldier returning home from war, Alex Shepherd.
Alex's world has changed somewhat since the last time he saw his family. His brother and father have gone missing, and his mother is in a catatonic state. After some strange goings on and a weird dream in his hometown and of Shepherds Glenn, he sets out to find his brother who he claims responsbility for. Along the way he meets up with old friends such as Elle while he is looking through Shepherds Glenn for an answer. They eventually follow Alex to the eerie town of Silent Hill...
Among others, Akira Yamaoka has said that the story and "theme" of Silent Hill V will be similar to Silent Hill 2. Fans of the series have been quick to notice that Alex's surname, Shepherd, is the same as James Sunderland's wife in Silent hill 2, Mary Shepherd-Sunderland. Perhaps the relation to Silent Hill 2 was more literal than we thought? Or maybe its one of those "connections" between Silent Hills which the fans love. Recent media from the E3 Business and Media event in held in LA during July of 2008 revealed another "friend" from Silent Hill 2 will indeed be returning in Silent Hill: Homecoming. |
