Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for Feb

By Robert Purchese Published 13 October, 2009

Konami clarifies Wii, PSP and PS2 arrival.

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.

    It's such a shame it's Wii/PS2/PSP only, I would really like a remake with some graphical might, Homecoming was quite a pretty game. Still it's probably gonna be cheap as chips on PS2 so that'll help.

    It’ll be interesting to see how it translates to the PS2/P though won't it? Seeing as it’s a game built for Wii, primarily.

    @ ZuluHero

    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).

  • GamesConnoisseur #5 2 years ago

    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.

  • TopKatt #6 2 years ago

    I'd be interested in reading a face off between the three version of this as I definitely intend to get it but have not idea which format to go for.

  • Zebula77 #7 2 years ago

    Glad to hear this is coming out on the PSP as well. I was afraid I'd have to buy a Wii! :p

  • swissorc #8 2 years ago

    This is a real shame as I was convinced this was going to be out in before christmas in europe oh well one less game I have to prioritise although wii release schedule in January-March next year is becoming a bit crowded for its own good really.

  • madjim #9 2 years ago

    This might be a proper Wii horror game for us Europeans, since the new Fatal Frame will never reach our shores.

    Europe. Stick. Arse end.

    AGAIN.

  • Zebula77 #13 2 years ago

    @justanotherdave: I second that! Imo the first two SH games are the best horror games ever. I still play through them every now and then. Great stuff.

  • Wildsleven #14 2 years ago

    sweet, i will definitely pick this game up on the ps2 :)

    "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.

  • Bulbatron #16 2 years ago

    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.

  • zedzee #17 2 years ago

    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.

  • sargulesh #18 2 years ago

    Why are you all talking about the PS2 version? This is a Wii game, fools.
