This is a new method for getting the Invisible Alex glitch in Silent Hill Homecoming. The original method involved the loading screen and cutscene in the backyard of the Shepherd house. Please read below for the explanation on how to do this.
*Note*
The 2nd half of this video is just a bonus section. If you have invisible Alex trick active and then perform the Fitch mausoleum clip, you can then go to where the cutscene with Elle is at the missing persons board, and both Alex and Elle are invisible.
--------------------
*How to Get Invisible Alex Using the New Method*
1.) Go to the 2nd floor of the shepherd house. There are two pictures on the wall that can be examined. You can perform this trick on either of these two pictures (and these are also the only two "Examine" objects in the entire game I've been able to get this trick to work).
2.) While standing in front of one of the pictures, hit the camera zoom button (for PS3, L3). You need Alex in first person perspective.
3.) With Alex in first person perspective, hold down the button that cancels that "Examine" function (for PS3, the Circle button).
4.) With the cancel ("Back") function held down, you need to press the Examine button (for PS3, X) and then the zoom function (L3) in quick order. However you need to wait a split second after pressing the Examine button before pressing the Zoom button. If you press too quickly, the trick will not work (this is shown in the video) but if you press too late, the trick will not work either.
--------------------
*What Is Happening?*
When you press the "Examine" button while holding down the "Back" button, the Examine process is unexpectedly interrupted. If you also press the Zoom (having already been zoomed in) function during the interrupted examination process, the game gets confused as to whether or not Alex is on screen, and his character model is removed entirely.
This results are 100% identical to the old method using the backyard cutscene. Alex will remain invisible for the remainder of the game (not counting some cutscenes)l and the invisibility carries over to new game saves and other save files.
