This is a sub-page of Proto:Silent Hill: Homecoming.

An early prototype of Silent Hill: Homecoming for the PlayStation 3, which was used for previews in May 2008.

It only contains the first section in Shepherd's Glen and the first section in Alex's House.

Early Models#

Both Alex Shepherd (the protagonist) and the town's judge, Margaret Holloway, have completely different hair models than in the final release. Alex's hair is a plain 2D texture while Margaret's is simply a different hair model.

Miscellaneous#

  • The game's textures are severely downgraded, likely for optimization, but can be loaded in their full resolutions by modding the build's configuration file. However, the game crashes upon entering Alex's House unless the textures are limited to 1042px or lower.
  • It is possible to mod the game to spawn later items and weapons, although some of them are either invisible or cause the game to crash.
  • All of Alex's different outfits are in the game, and can be loaded by modding the configuration file of the build. All of the outfits are loaded correctly and use the same early head model for Alex.
  • It is possible to reach other sections of the house which are normally locked when playing the build normally.
