Silent Hill: Shattered Dreams (Silent Hill 1 Remake)

I am sure most of you are now aware that there is a remake in the process. But, me being late at usual, have just gotten around to posting it.

You can read more about it at http://survivalhorroronline.com/ .

Holy crap, thats great news man! wow.
This is great. I wonder if it will be on both ps3 and 360?

Probably only Wii, as it is designed as such.

Isn't it called Shattered Memories? Anyway, I'm not really bothered about this. After Homecoming, I totally lost faith in the best horror series I've ever known and I don't give up easily.

In the good old days [when we used to sleep on a sack of potatoes in the garden] Silent Hill was about the fans and keeping the games as canon and as well done as possible. Now all it's about is money and making as much as possible. Origins was good, although a few niggles it had a bit of the good old SH feel to it and it was quite scary considering it was on PSP too, and Homecoming was just awful when you realized exactly what it was. I tried to like it, I really did, there was some good bits in it but it was just so cheesy and awful. I mean they'd even just took things straight out of the movie which wasn't great either.

And if anyone is interested there's more magazine scans here that my friend on FB sent me-

Games are losing quality because of the abnormal prices for creating them, so the developers have to play it more safe and do what makes money.

I would make that argument, but I don't know if it covers PS1 times.

Konami’s press released Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, confirming the game for Wii, PSP and PS2.

It “reinvents” the first game in the horror series, following protagonist Harry Mason, as he attempts to find his missing daughter, Cheryl.

Oodles of info after the link. It’s out this “autumn”.

The roots of evil revealed in Silent Hill®: Shattered Memories
Konami reinvents its first Silent Hill classic, as Shattered Memories arrives to scare on Wii, PSP and PlayStation 2
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is to bring its terrifying Silent Hill series to Wii™ as Silent Hill: Shattered Memories heads to the Nintendo system for the first time in Autumn. The game, a clever reimagining of the now out of print first Silent Hill title, will also be released for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and PlayStation®2 at the same time.

While the game shares its twisting plot with the original PlayStation game, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories takes a different path in many, many ways. Characters can be approached but will offer different responses and be found in different places, while new clues and gameplay paths can be followed. The title follows Harry Mason, as he attempts to unravel the mystery of his missing daughter, Cheryl. A broken man, Mason’s investigations lead him to the mist-shrouded, snowy streets of Silent Hill: a malevolent town where the shadows play host to a wealth of evil, misshapen creatures.

Designed to make full use of the Wii’s unique controllers, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories uses the Wii Remote™ as a torch and cell phone as Mason looks for clues. The torch is vital for scouring the darkened, abandoned buildings of Silent Hill, while the phone acts as a secondary user interface, allowing the player to access maps via its GPS capabilities and take pictures of interesting elements. Likewise, the Wii Remote also can be used to pick up, examine and manipulate items to solve puzzles along the journey. Such technology was not available when the original Silent Hill was released in 1999, and its inclusion showcases Konami’s determination to enhance the playing experience with new, available technology.

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.

While the PSP® and PlayStation®2 will feature a more familiar control system, both games will boast the new additions, and are certain to entrance hardened fans of Silent Hill and newcomers alike. All three games are being developed by Climax, the team behind the acclaimed Silent Hill: Origins for PSP® and PlayStation®2, and will also feature an all-new soundtrack by series creator Akira Yamaoka.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will be released for Wii™, PSP® (PLAYSTATION®Portable) and PlayStation®2 in Autumn 2009.

Seems like a cash in to me, but i will play it.

Here is a nice little video to give you a little deeper look into some aspects of Shattered Memories:

I don't think it's gonna be Silent Hill standard, but it will probably be good.

Wow I have always wanted a remake of this game, but to tell the truth I'm just not sure anymore especially after playing these recent silent hill games. And why are all the good remakes only coming out for the wii? I mean I like the wii and I have one, but silent hill is something I would prefer for 360 or Ps3.

Well that is enough of my bitching, I'm grateful for this info and I can only hope they can bring back the scare in this one.

I liked the sound of the test bit at the beginning. This game has the potential to be really good.

Noooo.

I wanted some kind of remake, but not to re-invent it, but the exact same game with next-gen graphics, not another pretty much spin off kind of thing. Like REmake, they changed pretty much nothing but the graphics.
