Konami has told Eurogamer that Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will be released across Europe in February 2010.
Retailers with autumn dates are guesstimating, the publisher explained.
The clarification arrives as US shops shift the Wii, PS2 and PSP scarer around like a naughty prisoner. Kotaku reports that Shattered Memories now lurks in either early December or sometime around New Year's Eve.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a remake of the first Silent Hill game, but as time has passed and technology improved, there will naturally be some adjustments. Wiimote controls are the most obvious, but there are also extra clues, characters and story-paths to take.
Our Silent Hill: Shattered Memories gamepages below have more information.

Not really, I would imagine all they need to do is map the pointing of the torch to one of the analogue sticks for PS2, any waggle involved could easily move to a button press. As for PSP...who cares, it'll be another crappy port we all won't buy because we've already bought it on a home console.....they never learn. |

I am interested in this, but seeing the trailers made me think that it is heavily "reimagined" as to be almost unrecognisable as Silent Hill. No combat, completely redesigned characters, the massive focus on ice and snow, the whole psychiatrist-session that alters the game on the fly, etc.
Aside from the basic plot, it could have been a brand new game altogether. I am sort of looking forward to it, purely because the Wii is lacking in the survival-horror area (this gen is in general, actually aside from Dead Space - RE5 no longer counts as horror). |

Actually torn between Wii or PSP version, handheld in bedroom in dark or larger screen and interactive Wiimote.
Homecoming was a big disappointment for me. |

But it is a remake, remake doesn't always mean, same game new textures, can also mean you know, someone else own take on the same concept/setting whatever.
I'd have rather seen them let this team develop these ideas in a horror game not called Silent Hill, series has been fucked up by Konami over the years (publishers never knowing when to leave a series alone, turning it into a brand to milk and run down). Besides Silent Hill isn't that big a brand anymore, doesn't need that baggage distracting attention, let them do their own thing without fan expectations getting in the way.

"As for PSP...who cares, it'll be another crappy port we all won't buy because we've already bought it on a home console.....they never learn."
I'd be supprised if this turned out to be true. Climax were responsible for Silent Hill Origins - primarily a PSP game and a decent looking (albeit overly-safe and therefore not hugely interesting) one at that. So they should know the hardware by now. |

It seems like January/February/March is the new October/November/December.
Alan Wake, BioShock 2 and Mass Effect 2 - and now possibly this game as well - if it misses December. I'll probably end up getting the PlayStation 2 version, since I suck at using the Wiimote. Still bitter about my crapness at Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles. |

Good to read that such good games are still being released for the PS2 - it really does have so much more life left in it and so many genres still unexplored properly.
Let's hope the PSP version is available for UMD, as well as download. If it doesn't or the UMD version is more expensive than the download, then it will be an indicator for Sony's intent to move away from the PSPold. |
