Silent Hill: Shattered Memories - new
footage from Eurogamer
2009.11.25
 |
Eurogamer has a new
exclusive Silent Hill: Shattered
Memories gameplay video. The
video shows the scene in the
cafe with Harry meeting Cybil
for the first time which was
already presented in some other
gameplay movies, only this time
it features a sexy style Cybil.
The interesting thing is that
although the appearance of Cybil
is different, she still acts
like a stern version of the
policewoman. By the way, if you
wait some time after the video
ends, you can hear the whole
conversation with another more
friendly type of Cybil. Eurogamer - Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Gameplay |

Silent Hill model
2009.11.15
 |
Mark Pricskett, an artist from Philadelphia, wants to share his scale model of a street from Silent Hill.
"The facades were store bought but much of the rest is scratch-built. Harry, Cheryl, Romper, Pyramidhead and many of the exterior and interior objects were moulded from clay. Every floor in every building has some detail with the bottom floors having the most. The building names are all from the first game (Annies Bar, Andy's Books, 30 Records). The Cafe even has the "save" notepad and the radio on the table. Total time to build was about 50 hours. There are 2 health drinks sorta hidden about." |

2009.10.10
|
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories release may be delayed as Gamestop changes the date to December 8, 2009. Although Amazon sites still have the release dates as October 30 for Europe and November 3 for North America, a recent German Konami News report (some new footage by the way) says that the game is due for release in Winter 2009. The same says the official German Konami site while Konami UK puts it as Late 2009. So the game's release may be really pushed back later this year. |

Silent Hill 2 writer sentenced to
one year in jail
2009.10.04
 |
It's only a couple of weeks since we've got a confirmation that Roger Avary is going to write a script for Silent Hill 2 and now we have news that Avary is sentenced to 1 year in jail and 5 years of probation for a drunk-driving accident that took the life of a passenger in his car. The accident occurred in January 2008. It was reported that Avary was driving over 100 mph when his car crashed into a telephone pole. After initially pleading innocent last December, he pleaded guilty in August 2009 to gross vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving. It's not clear yet how Avary's sentencing will affect Silent Hill 2 filming planned for the next year. |

A recent
Konami event brought us some
coverage of Silent Hill:
Shattered Memories. An IGN
journalist visited company's
California office and watched a
15-minute demo of the game. Read
the preview full of delight here. He also interviewed game's lead
designer Sam Barlow, director
Mark Simmons and Konami producer
Tomm Hulett. In addition to this
IGN presented nine new screenshots.
Here's a summary of facts in the
article from GoNintendo: - Harry has crashed on the side of the road while in a snowstorm - Harry’s daughter is missing, and he sets off into Silent Hill to find her - game kicks off with in a psychiatrist’s office where we hear of a new patient arriving. After that exchange, we see Harry fall from his car into the snow just after his crash. We then flash back to the office with the psychiatrist talking to this new patient - camera is first person during the office segment. You can look around while the psychiatrist talks - you must fill out a psychiatric profile - when asked questions by the psychiatrist, you can wave your Wiimote up and down/left to right to answer - after this exchange you flash back to the accident with Harry calling for his daughter - almost every decision you make impacts the game. For example, if you first choose to look at your map or a girlie calendar on the wall, the game makes note of this decision - an example of early changes: as you fill out your profile, the game will present you with different situations. When walking through town, you might see an open bar or an open diner. These things change as you make more and more choices - minus button to bring up your phone, which houses all sorts of important information - use phone to dial, take pics, text, check voicemail, browse phonebook, changes options and settings (whose viewer shows a slowed framerate a la iPhone) - take pictures of the environment to reveal new details: take a picture of a swingset with no one around it, look at the pic to see your daughter sitting on the swing - pictures can cue voicemails and other occurrences - game world changes from Silent Hill to evil Silent Hill right before your eyes - no longer a hellish look…things are more ‘icy’ - static on your phone still clues you in as it did in past games - stunning flashlight effects - Nunchuk to walk, hold Z to run, C for 180-turn, A for actions, B-trigger plus A to pick items up, D-pad for phone, D-pad down to view behind you - intelligent enemies will hunt you down, talk to other enemies to find you, open doors and climb fences - one again, no weapons - Harry talks to himself throughout the game to rehash info - no load times - camera filter returns from previous games - flashlight will even light up snowflakes - Wii is the lead platform |

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
for Wii and PSP
2009.04.02
|
Silent Hill for Wii is
confirmed (according to the
information on the developers site the project is also
being developed for PSP). The newest issue of
the Nintendo Power magazine
features a detailed article on
the new installment with
screenshots and interviews with
Akira Yamaoka (yes, he's
composing the music for the project)
and design team members Mark
Simmons, Sam Barlow and Tomm Hulett. As explains producer
Tomm Hulett: "This is a
reimagining of the first Silent
Hill. It’s not a remake or a
port. That’s an important
distinction. It really feels
like a new game. The characters
play different roles, things
don't necessarily happen in the
same order, and the story is
taken in lots of new directions.
You still play as Harry Mason,
you're still looking for your
daughter, and you'll see
familiar elements, but they're
all twisted to betray your
expectations." Here are some
brief details from the article: - Game story will depend a lot on your actions and decisions. You may see or not some scenes, meet characters in different places, and even the look of monsters will vary for different players. - There will be new characters in the game like a psychiatrist Dr. Kasks. - Control Stick is used to steer the hero's movements while Wii Remote is used to aim the flashlight. - There is no combats - you can only escape from the monsters. During the getaway you can barge through doors, climb over fences, jump through windows, and so on. You can also barricade doors behind you. In addition to this you can use flares to frighten monsters off. - There's a way trough every locked door. - The only tool in the game is Harry's cell phone used for map access, taking pictures, writing notes and making phone calls. And here are the scans of the magazine article:

remake for Wii
2009.02.26

"VG247 understands that UK
developer Climax is working on a
Wii remake of an the first
Silent Hill. Konami has declined
to comment on the talk. Few
specifics are known as yet, but
apparently motion control’s been
included for torch functions.
The first Silent Hill, designed
by Keiichiro Toyama, was
released for PlayStation in
1999. Climax is working on two
Konami games, as shown on the
firm’s website. The remake is
the Wii and PSP project you can
see there. A 360 and PS3 game is
also in the works for Konami,
but this is an “original ground
breaking next-gen game,”
according to a Climax job
posting. Climax was unavailable
