I finished playing Silent Hill 3 recently, and because i have played Shattered Memories first, i now noticed how Konami screwed up the Mason storyline. What i mean is that in Silent Hill 3 Harry Mason was killed with a single bullet in the heart, when Heather/Cheryl was 17/24. BUT!!!! on Shattered Memories, it is stated that Harry was killed in a car accident when Cheryl was about 6 or seven.

WTF??? Konami simply screwed the series great storyline. Explaning SM storyline as a completely originalentry, not a "reimagining", would mean that Harry was killed right after the events on the first game, and thinking of the storyline as taking place on the begining, the third game could never had happend, because Harry was already dead there, and Cheryl would be depressed.

The only explanation i can come is that Konami didn't though a nerd like I would think about the storyline of the series in such detail, so they thought about ignoring the already exsitence storyline, and starting a completely new one, which may mean this game takes place in a entierly new universe, where the events of the first and third game of the series would have happend. Period.

Now maybe the storyline of a video game series shouldn't be viewed as something absolute (Zelda storyline is a perfect example), but leave coments on what you think.
