I’m a big fan of Silent Hill. I’ve played every game in the series and a few years ago you might even have caught me defending the Silent Hill movie. When I first heard that Climax was re-imagining the first game in the Silent Hill series, and putting it on the Wii, I was a bit nervous. When the company revealed the logo and announced that the rust laden, nightmarish Otherworld was being brushed aside for an ice world, I was downright scared. After gathering some more info and trying the game at E3, all fears were assuaged. This was to be the great hope of the Silent Hill series.
Having spent two evenings with the game and completing the story for the first time, I’m conflicted. Was it good? Yes. I’m just not sure it’s Silent Hill.

While playing through Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for review, our very own Richard Mitchell stumbled upon a pretty neat thing: classic Konami coin-op arcade cabinets. Sadly, you can’t play the cabinets in-game, but it’s a nice Easter egg for fans, if we may say so. There’s Contra, Rush’N Attack and — our personal favorite — Gradius. Check ‘em out in the video above.

Konami has released a new trailer for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and … it kind of rocks. Literally. Rather than flooding the senses with creepy atmosphere, rusted metal and sexually confusing nurses, the trailer opts instead for a montage of the game’s characters and some rock music, specifically “When You’re Gone,” a new theme composed by the series’ longtime (and recently departed) maestro, Akira Yamaoka.
Sharp-eyed viewers will also notice that Cybil, the friendly police officer from the original Silent Hill, appears in two different variations in the trailer. The version of Cybil encountered will be different for each player, depending on the player’s actions prior to meeting her in the game. Also featured in the video: Monsters. Lots of ‘em.
Shattered Memories releases December 8.

It looks like GameStop got it right, as IGN reports that Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will arrive on the Wii on December 8. The PS2 and PSP versions have yet to be given solid release dates, with Konami promising to reveal further information at a later time. Given the Wii version’s proximity to the holiday shopping season, it sounds like PSP and PS2 players can consider their sanity safe until 2010 — though not long after, considering our experience with the PSP version at Tokyo Game Show.
Wii owners, on the other hand, should start preparing now by stocking up on flashlights, blankets and plenty of batteries. Just remember, so long as you’re completely covered they can’t get you. Braver readers might consider perusing some of our terrifying Shattered Memories preview coverage.

Somehow, Konami managed to provide a release date for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories while still not clearing up any of the recent confusion about the release date. How? By announcing a release date for Europe. Eurogamer reports that Konami will release the re-imagined survival-horror game on Wii, PS2, and PSP in February 2010.
While the Eurogamer article references the uncertain American release date, no answer is given. Either the release date is being moved to 2010 worldwide, or Europe has the usual delay after the American date. The uncertainty is by far the scariest aspect of this game! Either that or the nightmare world that alters itself to more directly involve your worst fears. One of those.

Konami has yet to offer an official release date for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and the unofficial release dates keep shifting identities like some kind of haunted village. After Nintendo dated the game on its release schedule, we thought we could safely expect the game in November, but retailers have changed their dates once again.
GameStop now expects to have Shattered Memories in stock on December 8. GameFly, whose dates tend to differ from official ones by a few days, lists the Wii game as being available November 26, but the PS2 and PSP versions on December 31. Wal-Mart’s dates put the Wii version at November 24 and the PlayStation games on Christmas Day (which is probably not the real ship date, on account of there not being any mail delivery that day).
Basically, the game is coming out later. It’s not in stores right this second. That’s all we can say with any degree of certainty.

Much like 2007’s Silent Hill: Origins, the PSP version of Shattered Memories is quite capable of conveying an eerie, unsettling experience, even on a platform that might seem ill-equipped for the survival-horror genre in comparison to home consoles. The Wii re-imagining of Konami’s PS1 classic is faithfully represented on Sony’s portable, with only a few framerate hiccups tarnishing a very impressive visual representation.
Recreating the Wii version’s moody ambiance isn’t the port’s only major success, as it handles the absence of the motion-sensitive remote quite elegantly. Here, you manipulate Harry Mason’s flashlight from a third-person perspective by holding R1 and moving the analog nub. While this removes the ability to move and peer into the terrifying town’s dark recesses at the same time, the game’s generally slow pace makes such multitasking more of a luxury than a necessity.

Though it fails to offer a precise date, Nintendo’s packed holiday release schedule has confirmed a November debut for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, the frigid re-imagining of the PlayStation survival-horror classic. GameStop, which is currently offering a Silent Hill soundtrack CD as a pre-order incentive, expects the game to arrive on November 3rd.
According to producer Tomm Hulett, “If you’ve played the PlayStation game to death, you still have no idea what to expect for Shattered Memories.” Oh, and definitely don’t expect Dahlia to be a robot in this one. We made sure about that.

Konami has released some new screens of the upcoming
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. The shots are looking pretty nice, and include some of the more Wii-centric features, like object manipulation and Harry’s mobile phone. There’s also a monster or two and the bloody snow seen above. Remember kids, never eat red snow.
On another note, Konami has freshened up the game’s logo. It’s essentially the same, although the cheesy icicles have (thankfully) been removed. Find the new logo and screens in the gallery below.
