GoGamingGiant TGS Previews: Silent Hill Shattered Memories

GoGamingGiant writes: "Silent Hill:Shattered Memories is a remake/retelling of the original Silent Hill Playstation 1 game, set for release on both PSP and Wii. It promises a higher reliance on evasion than previous installments, removing the combat that has long been slated as one of the games weakest elements.
Playing the Wii version with headphones on in a darkened Konami booth, I was initially surprised by how good it looked. A number of filters and noise effects have been applied to the game engine to create a tense atmosphere reminiscent of horror movies such as The Blair Witch Project.
Immediately notable to fans of the series is the change of art style in the town of Silent Hill itself. Gone is the dark slimy world of previous installments, replaced by ice that, while not as creepy, produces a chilling atmosphere and feeling of familiarity."

I grew up in a country where we didnt have the majority of consoles you guys had in the rest of the world. My consoles were a Sega 16, and a Microgenius (which I think was a knock off Nintendo NES), I traveled to UK once as a child and bought a Sega Mortal Kombat game, but it was a Sega Genesis (or whatever it was called), and the damn game wouldnt fit into my console. I resorted to cutting the edges of the cartridge to get it to fit in my desperation (imagine that)! Lol

Needless to say it wouldn't run it.

Limitedtimestruggle173d ago

Damn lol! Our first home console was the Sega Master System! Played the controllers to shambles, the console is still live and kicking though!

I have some of these games but I have played them. Still worth a good amount though and they’re in great condition.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26208d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake207d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69207d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26206d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
