Characters
Name: Alex Shepherd

Age: 22
Occupation: Ex-Solider
About: Alex Shepherd is a solider returning home from a war. He comes home to find his mother in a catatonic state, and his beloved brother and his father missing. He sets out to find them which leads him to Shepherd's Glen and onward to Silent Hill. His view on war is rather unusual. In the E3 2007 trailer, a monologue of a character we assume is Alex says "War is Hell, but there are worse things. War changes you and no body back home could never understand. They never understood me. They say you can't go home again - but they're wrong. I just don't want to." What does this tell us about his character? It seems as though war may have drive him a little insane and is even enjoying the war?

Name: Elle
Age: Alex's Age (?)
Occupation: Unknown
About: Elle is a long-time friend of Alex. She is said to be "like Maria from Silent Hill 2 she is said to have streetwise sexiness but retains the relatable girl-next-door cuteness of SH3 heroine Heather." It appears she has a history with Alex which might mean that there could be a love story somewhere. So far it is unclear if she will be A.I controlled or actually playable.

Name: Joshua Shepherd

Age: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown
About: Alex's brother has gone missing on Alex's return home from war. It seems as though he has go to the town of Silent Hill.

Name: Alex's Father [Name Unknown]
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown
About: Alex's Father, who also has gone missing while his son was at war.

Name: Alex's Mother [Name Unknown]
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown
About: One of her sons has gone to war, the other is missing along with her husband. This causes symptoms much like that of Post Dramatic Stress Distorder, making her go into a catatonic state

The official announcement of Silent Hill V named the protagonist as Alex Shepherd, a war veteran who returns home from an overseas tour of duty to find his father and later his younger brother, Joshua, have disappeared and his mother has gone into catatonia. Shepherd begins to search for his brother, leading him to Silent Hill after searching his home town of Shepherd's Glen. Alex will have to traverse real world areas covered in fog, and also the "Otherworld" version of the same maps.[3] EGM magazine confirmed that there will be a female supporting character Ellie, who is connected to Alex. It is unknown whether she is playable at the moment.

Combat in the game will take into account Alex's experience as a soldier, and the psychological aspects of other installments of the game will have a part in Silent Hill V. Confirmed enemies in the game include the nurses and a new androgynous creature called "Siam", as well as "Schism" and "Smog". The gameplay will feature real time wounds that show up on both Alex and his enemies. New fighting techniques will be offered as way for Alex to deal with enemies, including grappling and evasive maneuvers. Enemies will have upgraded A.I., adding a new level of ways to encounter, or avoid enemies.

It is rumored that the developers are planning to create multiple endings based on the way players do things in the game. Acts of aggression, kindness and interactions with other people met in the game will impact how it ends.

Still, it'll be nice to play a Silent Hill game with todays best consoles/graphics no doubt.

Apparently the game begins in a 'real world' war hospital, where Alex hears his brother has been hurt back at home, so he goes back to find his town (Shepherds Glen) abandond, and apparently, Shepherds Glen and Silent Hill have some kind of connection
