Leftovers

Players can find pizza in Pete’s Bowl-O-Rama, in the Western South Vale area, for another trophy. Unfortunately, the pizza, much like most of the town, is decrepit and in tatters.

UFO Ending

The UFO Ending makes its return in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Similar to the original game, players need to start a New Game+ and find a Blue Gem that they can use at specific points of the story to achieve this ending.

The ending has been slightly changed in the remake. Now, James comes face to face with Space James, who is using the original Silent Hill 2 model, and it is revealed that the former is just a clone. James is abducted, and Space James takes his place on Earth to be with Mary.

Dog Ending

The Dog Ending also returns. To reach it, players need to be on a New Game+ file, and collect the Broken Key Paw and Bone Parts to fuse them into a Dog Key. This can be used to open the Observation Room in the Lakeview Hotel.

Opening the door to the Observation Room will reveal that a dog has been pulling the strings for the entire town of Silent Hill. James will fall to his knees in disbelief, as the dog comes over to lick his face.

Original Game Map Original Chainsaw Animation Maria's Original Outfit Comic Sans Ranch Sign

Original Game Map

One of the original Silent Hill 2 Maps appears in game. The Wood Side Apartments has a sign in the courtyard depicting the original South Vale map, and it appears again in Neely's Bar in the Western South Vale Otherworld.

Original Chainsaw Animation

In a New Game+, players can acquire the Chainsaw, a powerful weapon that is effective against many enemies. It also allows James to perform a reference to the original game, as he poses with the weapon.

This calls back to a pose that James does with the Chainsaw in the original game, leaning on it like a cane. James can also go wild with it in the remake, swinging and shaking it over his head while acting tough.

All Weapons and Locations

Maria's Original Outfit

Maria's outfit from the original game can be found in Room 108 of Jacks Inn Motel, in the Western South Vale area.

The iconic cropped red cardigan and pink leopard print skirt are hanging in an open closet. If brought to it, Maria will eventually ask if she'd look good in it, commenting that the outfit is “a classic”.

Comic Sans Ranch Sign

The Silent Hill Ranch also hides an easter egg for more thorough players to find. Going out of bounds and into the actual ranch building will reveal the Silent Hill Ranch Comic Sans Sign.

This references the Silent Hill HD Collection, which changed the sign font to Comic Sans. Why the font was changed was never explained, and the sign became an infamous icon associated with the HD Collection.
