Silent Hill : Shattered Memories

[Barnz]

It's a reimagination of original Silent Hill (not a remake, or port (i.e. BSG 2K4 series)) for Wii.

-Harry has sexy glasses.
-Team Silent isn't working on it.
-No combat.

Here're some images:

That artwork really sucks.

 

[Gargantou]

I actually laughed at that artwork, it looked like something from Ghostbusters or something haha.

That artwork really sucks.

 

[DigiQ8]

but Wii has this:

 

[mchammer75040]

Do want :naughty:
But wait...I'm assuming thats not from sh:sm considering she is holding a gun, yet there is no combat in this edition. Where is this from? RE:CV?


Anyways, if they ruin this then I think the series is done for unless Team silent has something totally unique to the series up their sleeve.

 

[Doppelgofer]

this absolutely pains me. i wish team silent would make a new game ....either that or everyone else should just LEAVE it the **** ALONE

 

[mchammer75040]

Yea I really wish the key creators of the original didn't leave the series. Hopefully they are working on something, maybe they are just contracting other teams to make these games to buy themselves the time to work on a much bigger title.

No Combat? Uh, so where are the scares going to come from? I assume that if you get spotted by a baddy you have to run away otherwise you get raped, but I can't imagine there being no combat at all. If Freaking evil knife weilding babies were coming at me I'd kick them in the head.

 

[Barnz]

Have you ever heard of Penumbra?

 

[jimbo118]

facepalm gifs ahoy.

 

[mchammer75040]

^this.
Or siren (which had a more stealth mechanic).

 

[mortiz-Redux]

Have you ever heard of Penumbra?

Penumbra has combat, Overture does anyway, you can weild a pick axe.

Still, I dislike the whole concept of being completely defenseless, no super soldier powers but you should be able to defend yourself. And Siren isn't exactly a good example to use, that game was intensely frustrating, and the complete lack of being able to defend yourself in that game was a major part of it's downfall.

 

[mchammer75040]

Did you play the ps3 or ps2 version? From what I saw of the ps3 version it wasnt that big of a problem

More news & shots (I'm beginning to like this).

[mchammer75040]

Ohh this is actually looking pretty good. The use of the phone looks..brilliant actually. If they play up the mystery and downtone the combat this might be pretty good.

 

[hot564231]

I want the ps2 version Gods damnit! I ****ing loved the first silent hill (granted its not the same game supposedly) ****ing loved it, ****ing really didn't like the rest of the games. Silent Hill 2 was fine.

 

[mchammer75040]

The say in the preview that the world is seamless...obviously this wont be the case for the ps2 or psp versions..I think...? Anyways, I might just have to pick up a wii for this.

This game is turning me into Asuka in terms of blind excitement. The little voice in the back of my head that says "Alone in the Dark looked good too" is getting louder though.

This game may be the thing that makes me buy a Wii. How much are they on eBay these days?

 

[Darkangel]

Damn, this is starting to look pretty awesome.

 

[Barnz]

Here's a recently released trailer:

[ríomhaire]

Graphics are pretty mediocre looking. Not a great trailer. Still interested in the game though.

 

[Barnz]

Really? They look great for a Wii game. I don't really mind about graphics as long as game is good.

I like how Cybil's look change depending on our choices.

I like.

 

[Paulaner]

No Combat? Uh, so where are the scares going to come from?

Actually, I am more scared when I cannot fight.

I like.

Do want.

seriously, this game looks interesting

 

[Darkangel]

Wow, this game looks awesome.

The graphics are also really nice, I love the shadow effects from the flashlight.

 

[VirusType2]

For this game, I think it will be even better without combat, but the replay factor will be zero if the puzzles are the same combination every time through the game.

 

[Barnz]

Did you even read the previews? Everything changes (every time) depending on your choices.

 

[ríomhaire]

I hope there's still some element of combat, even if you're not going to have a handgun. At least some situational ways of dealing with enemies. I think if done right, having to finally fight an enemy that you've spent most the game running away from would be pretty nerve racking. It certainly was for me when fighting the Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2.

 

[comoxer]

Has anyone played this? I believe its out over here in the UK on Friday just wondering if any of you guys think its worth buying.

I’ve always been a fan of Silent Hill but the series for me has been in decline since The Room.

 

[Barnz]

I heard it's a good game - it's worth your money

 

[hot564231]

its out march 5th in the uk for ps2.

 

[Gargantou]

I played it through on the PSP and recommend it heavily, it's my fav Silent Hill so far. Make no mistake however there is no 'combat-focus' whatsoever, you can't fight the enemies. Basically there's two worlds "The Normal world" where you explore and solve puzzles etc, then the "Ice World" where you run like hell from the enemies until you manage to get to the destination the game tells you to go.

Personally, I found it to be a lot easier than previous Silent Hills but it's still my fav, great voiceacting, a good story, well-done environments and mood. The abandoned mall felt quite disturbing, as did the abandoned school.
