Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer tells ONM that rail shooters have had their day
The Nerd Stash: "Looking to make some quick cash? Have some old Wii games lying around? Well, why not take a gander at our list of rarest Nintendo Wii games?"
The Nerd Stash: “A list of the rarest games for the PS2, all with hefty price tags worth a fortune 25 years after the console first hit shelves.”
I found Haunted Grounds still sealed at a Salvation Army store, but it's the PAL version lol.
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.
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.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
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.
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.
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.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
Nice to see the obvious being stated by someone in the industry.
The Wii is seen as a family friendly pick up and play system. It is not seen as a Hardcore gaming machine and that is why 90% of the hardcore games have not sold near enough.
Every time my buddies come over to play games it is on the Ps3 rarely do we pick up the Wii to play NSMB or Wii Sports. We usually play those games when we drink and add in rules to get smashed.
As I have said before today, the Wii is not a hardcore machine and it will not be made into what it isn't.
Hmmm, didn't Silent Hill Shattered Memories itself sell badly on Wii and is now along with Dead Space E and RE: DC? And didn't the previous rail shooter that was RE: Umbrella Chronicles sell really well on Wii?
Stop doing on rails stupidly... don't just do move from room to room and shoot. Do what time crisis did and have a button for cover. It improves it by soo much.
Yes, on-rail shooters are a nice genre that died out with the Dreamcast.
Which is why Panzer Dragoon Orta sold so well on the Xbox, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles sold so well on the Wii and why Sega was so pleased with how both House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return and House of the Dead Overkill sold.
I guess Time Crisis was a failure too.
