Konami just announced that the once-rumored Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is headed to Wii, PSP, and PS2. Development duties are being handled by Climax, the team behind PSP hit Silent Hill Origins. Surprised? Didn’t think so.

Shattered Memories is billed as a “clever reimagining” of the original Silent Hill, which graced the PSOne back in 1999. Following the blood-soaked tale of Harry Mason as he ventures throughout the town of Silent Hill, the game’s dialogue has been rewritten and will offer new content in the way of branched gameplay paths.

The Wii variant will utilize the console’s motion-sensing capabilities for handling a torch and cell phone, the latter of which acts as a secondary user interface, providing GPS tracking and the ability to take pictures of surrounding environments. Additionally, the Wii Remote will be used heavily in manipulating puzzles and interacting with nearby objects.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is slated to hit all three formats later this autumn. No screenshots yet, only a piece of artwork depicting Harry Mason, the game’s protagonist.

Silent hill games rock, particulary the first one - It was more scary than RE.

The wii torch thing would be way cool.

I feel as if the RE and Silent Hill series have gone in different directions, so it is hard to compare them. RE is now focused more on action while SH still plays like a traditional survival horror title. For me, RE5 was fun but at the same time practically devoid of any real scares. Any SH game on the other hand still freaks me out.

ya RE5 wasnt really scary just really freakin awsum like i found all the REs before 5 scarier first being the scariest with its freakin dogs jumping through thoes windows in that hall

Not played 5 yet, but your right. After resi 2 the scare factor made way for broader appeal. stillt eh resi games we love but no where near as scary as the silent hill games. Silent Hill 1, Phew. That torch really freaks me out. lol
