Well the town wasn't evacuated as far as I know, the people just dissapeared
unless you were just saying that but didn't think it was evacuated
But the people who were there all had like one thing in common:
When the town made the switch from have people there to not having people there, they were all asleep...
Harry was unconcious in his car
Lisa was taking a nap I think she said, and so was Kaufman...
Although they also had ties to the town... except maybe Lisa from what I can remember...
Kaufman had something to do with that drug thing...
Harry's adopted Daughter was actually Dahlia's biological daughter...
and such...
I don't see how there was much more going on in Sh2 than in Sh1... well I guess there was storyline-wise, so yeah... but that's cuz of Dahlia and Cheryl/Allessa and all those connections and such
And stuff and things...
I just think a prequel would be neat... a prequel that's actually based on events we've heard of from past SH games...
Or a sequel that has to do with SH1 or 2 where the character is someway related to one of the other characters from the past games and it kinda messes with everything, explaning things, in a way, but raising even more questions...
It'd also be neat in SH3 if you're able to go to some of the areas of the town from SH1 or 2... mainly it'd be new areas, but some would be old areas with some changes (similar to saaaay Onimusha 2 or Resident Evil 3)...
