Awesome news... New Silent Hill!

Ok, not "new" in that literal sense but a "re-imagining" of the first Silent Hill! Slated for Wii, PS2, and PSP this fall. :)

Some new and updated features...


Also new to Shattered Memories is a psyche profile element, which monitors every aspect of player�s reactions � from where they explore first, items that have been examined, and their reaction to those they meet. Small visual elements will also be altered slightly, adding to the oppressing atmosphere where nothing is what it seems. The psyche profile will adapt Harry�s actions as and when he meets normal-looking people or the game�s many inhuman denizens.

One thing though... This is seriously supposed to be Harry?

No 360 release? Fail.

I was just about to post this a few hours ago but had to do something.
Yeah! Definitely getting this, most likely for Wii.

Are they still making games for the PS2? Why not make this Wii exclusive?

Are they still making games for the PS2? Why not make this Wii exclusive?

Yeah a few games are coming out for PS2. Not lots, but there are new releases spread across 2009 like a new Devil Summoner, Guitar Hero, Dynasty Warriors etc. Probably just trying to cash in on the deep penetration of the PS2 since it is the highest selling console ever. Also, Wii sux!!!11

I agree about the Wii comment, but I thought making this game a console exclusive would minimize the chances of having shitty graphics.

SOLD.

lol, Harry's gotten rather lame-ass :p

Much preferred:

Did he have glasses before?

nope.

I dont have Alex or Travis in this style

I'll get it. Just because I have all of the Silent Hill games so far. Plus, I'm pretty interested in what the changes will be.

it for the wii, that alone is enough to get it.

That'll be interesting to see how they remake this game.

it for the wii, that alone is enough to get it.

On the contrary... but I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade.

It's not just for the Wii. If it was, I wouldn't get it because I would have to buy a Wii first. I'll get it on PS2.

I'll take Wii. Just because I only have 2 Wii games.

I'll wait and see how the versions stack up. I hope they don't change too much. Not even Harry's lines. I could see why they would, but I've really come to enjoy Harry's underwhelming response to Silent Hill compared to jumpy James and the rest.

lol, Jumpy James.

He put his hand in a shit-filled toilet for you. NEVAR 4GET.

"Huh? Radio. What's going on with that radio?"

I lol every time :D!
The only thing I don't really want them to change is his appearance. That's the only quirk I will have against this game is that.

I'm not sure if this SH is going to be a good idea... Even though I haven't done a lot of research, to me it looks like they're trying to change too much stuff on the first game. Like, I don't know, an alternate universe? No, no, wait, that came out wrong, an alternate universe of a game based on alternate realms... Urgh, my head hurts...

As long as the tank controls are gone.

Those are gone since Resident Evil 4.

Those are gone since Resident Evil 4.

fail


true RE games:

up= move forward in faced direction
down= move backwards
left= turn left
right= turn right


RE4/5

up= move forward in faced direction
down= move backwards
left= turn left
right= turn right


tank controls are tha last thing that keeps RE games being RE games.

Go find a room with Rob and enjoy your vacation in delusional land.

Shitty controls do not a game make. I'd love to see the RE games pre-4 redone with REAL CONTROLS.

Was playing Resident Evil 2 a few minutes ago. Still great!!!

Yeah! One of the best games I have ever played.

My favorite RE game :D

Resident Evil 5: The Best Resident Evil yet. Outstanding!



Says IGN.

I have to agree. Sorry Leon ;_;;

That's subject to personal opinion, as all things. I like the old ones better.

4 came in a close second. It would've gotten first if it had the scare factor instead of the focus being on the action. But Leon is my fave. I would go gay for that man...

Are they still making games for the PS2? Why not make this Wii exclusive?

Because they figured they'd release it on the best system of all time thus far?

If the game doesn't suck it'll mean almost an entire series was released on the PS2.

A PS2 port of SH5/H would be kind of funny...and pretty cool.

The best system of all times looks ugly nowadays.

Graphics don't make the game or the system.

that why the snes is the best system ever.

that why the snes is the best system ever.

I used to think that, but when I think of my "top games per system" the PS2 has way more.

Don't get me wrong, nostalgia wise SNES will always win it was the gaming system that made me my gaming a sometimes 'hobby' because of the NES into someone who labeled himself a gamer.

But the library can't stand up to the juggernaut that is the PS2 (IMO).

I still think the Dreamcast is still win!

I like how this went to Silent Hill to Resident evil to system evaluation.

FAIL

Its not just on the wii. Its going on the PS2 and PSP as well. I'm skeptical but none the less curious about what the final product will be.

I really really hope harry doesn't have glasses in the final cut.

It be nice to return to it again. It still is the creepiest game out of the series in my opinion. That music gives me the chills.

Don't tell me that how I direct threads is fail :mad:

Welcome to Shrine. All threads turn out this way.

HAHA, Hey Neg how many threads have we de-railed to talk about SH, RE or Something to our liking?

Harry Mason? More like Harry Potter.

amirite?

I thought the same thing when I saw that picture. I think they should just keep his costume the way it was with the upgraded graphics. And LOSE THE GLASSES!

Last thing I heard is the game won't have any combat like the previous games, Harry will found himself running all the time like a wimp.

HAHA, Hey Neg how many threads have we de-railed to talk about SH, RE or Something to our liking?

More than we haven't derailed to talk about them, for sure <3

HAHA yeah!

Also Modified IDX post is great, HAHAHA!

YOU...YOU BASTARD!
LMAO!! That was a really good one, I admit :D!

Kudos to Purrr. He made it for me <3

O RLY?

YA RLY :love:

RLY RLY??

WTF!?

LOL omg I never thought this would resurface.

I made it when I was bored at work :p

Ya, thanks...YOU BASTARD!

I use that thing more than you'd think. Will use it more.

Ya, thanks...YOU BASTARD!

You love me for it <3

Well, I looked up a few more articles and I dunno whether to be disappointed or what. When they said "re-imagine", I guess they meant "reinvent". The biggest difference being:


In an interesting twist, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories features no combat whatsoever. When you're face to face with a freakish monster, the only choice is to run. Another change, the rusty, hellish Otherworld has been changed into a frozen, icy one instead. As in Silent Hill: Homecoming, the transition to the Otherworld takes place in real time as buildings freeze over and columns rise out of the ground.

http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2009/04/10/new-silent-hill-shattered-memories-details

The combat doesn't make the series for me, but I don't like the idea of bitching out of every conflict, personally. I need a steel pipe, man!

Edit: Screen from this cool article (http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2009/04/14/silent-hill-shattered-memories-more-than-remake-for-the-wii/) about the Wii version.

On the plus side, gotta say I don't mind Cybil's redesign :naughty:

No combat?? Then that means no bosses or pulling "Tom Cruise's" (that's what I called it whenever Harry would pull out his Katana weapon :P) anymore. I really don't know what to think anymore about this game. I am very intrigued though about how the new "Otherworld" will look now that everything will freeze. For some reason, I can't get a picture of what an icy level on Kingdom Heart would look like when I try to see it from the SH perspective.

And yes, I too like Cybil's redesign as well. Maybe she should just undo one more button...

I see glasses are being thrown about to everyone.
I wonder if any of the enemies will have glasses?

Ice?

Fuck that shit. Where's my blood and rust, you fgts :mad:

So this is why it's showing up on the backburner crew of the current gaming market?

I learned quite a while ago not to trust Wii for anything NEW outside of Twilight Princess, which in all actuality is a GC game, anyway. Yeah, earlier in this thread, I was dumb enough to hold out hope. Happens all the time. Fuggen optimistic cunt running around my head. Imma kill her someday~

I can't imagine how the game will work without combat, guess we'll have to wait and see but I hope it's not a pick and click game. I like that screenshot, it doesn't look bad for a Wii game.

I was reading that article, and the way it sounds for the Wii is really making me want to get one for this game. But I think I'll just wait until my friend has it at his house, he has a Wii and I can see if it lives up to its expectations.

Why'd they give Harry glasses? Are they trying to make him emo, or did they just change his last name to Potter?

I think both...:(

Plus, they made him into a pussy too.

Completely unacceptable. Harry's a badass by definition.

I'd honestly be happier with a PSP/PS2 remake with Origins graphics and fixed controls. I'm not asking for much.

Outside of that, no thanks. You can take my post as a rant based off of my personal opinion if it makes you feel better. Felt like Prak was back for a second there :p

I much prefer ranting to carefully wording posts, it must be said ;)

Yeah, Harry looks like a total nerd in this picture.

Fail.

I mean, this totally derails from what Silent Hill is about... fighting the creepy-as-hell monsters and watching their blood pool on the floor.

Ice? Are you kidding me? What are they doing to this re-make?

Ugh... sorry for the double posting... forgot I had already responded to something before this...

Hi 5, Ari.

Damn, We know that on some SH games (or most) combat isn't its strong points, but damn taking it off completely?

I don't mind adventure games. I love 'em. But, even if it isn't the most refined combat, I still expect and want it in SH games.

Exactly, Neg!

Clock Tower games were all about running away instead of fighting your enemy and there were chilling and great.

They also weren't about possibly disturbing and cruel images.

And, blood and rust.

Haha, gotta keep that blood and rust! :D

Don't forget the steel pipes of justice!

Don't forget the steel pipes of justice!

:objection:

YEAH!!!!

Silent Hill: Rail Adventure Remake


That's all I'm getting from what I've been hearing.

I tried Umbrella Chronicles.

Dear lord I was disatisfied. I played it once and returned it to blockbuster.

Yeah...not the best rail shooter out there.
Then again, its not like the RE series has had a good track record w/offshoots.

HotD:O has been a fav....same goes for "Ghost Squad".
Tactical based rain shooter...wth?
Win.

Get Alex in here! ;-)

Yeah I vote for seeing Alex's steel pipe iykwim :D

Where's his little demon? The pregnant monster with 6 boobs?

BTW, I lol'd so hard when I saw this pic lol

They also weren't about possibly disturbing and cruel images.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Eu2u_cSVs
from clock tower 3

cruel and disturbing, at the same time? you bet.

fatal frame, silent hill, resident evil and the zelda cd-i games combined havent been cruel and disturbing at the same time.
and this scene is.

oh and:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Pe4no4Pbo
also from CT3.

that second video, by the ESRB's logic, would have made this game unrateable and thus illegal to release in the U.S. for the graphic death of a minor.
yet capcom laughed at the esrb and fucked their logic in the ass.

THAT'S ENOUGH MAKING HABBLY-BABBLIES~

WIN.

Why Team Silent is not behind this game???

I kinda like the series that the original japanese staffs developing

the series.....I played Zero/origins but it's not the same feelling like those guys from team

silent..

IT'S A JAPANESE ORIGIN GAME SO LET THE JAP DEVELOPERS DO IT!!!(sorry kinda emotional and fanboyish comment)

It's alright. We're all fanboys in this neck of the woods ;)

hahaha! but seriously no beating monsters???? run for it????

What am i??? a coward??

this is gonna be hard to play this.....

It's a change, sure. But I'll without hold judgment til I play it. 4, Origins and Homecoming have taught me that different means awesome for this series.

Yeah....play first then judge LOL

"without hold." I need sleep, apparently.
