Konami officially unveiled a new logo and screen shots from Silent Hill Shattered Memories:

Personally I think it’s a big improvement the old logo looked too amaturish to me and the newer logo looks a lot more polished.

As for the screenshots the game is looking good, but man doesn’t Harry look psycho in his driver’s license photo? He looks like he’s about to deck the poor DMV photographer.

Shattered Memories US Box art Revealed!

Posted By: Whitney   August 11th, 2009 | 7:35 pm

Check out the boxart! Not sure if I’m that keen on it though… I like the concept and a frozen Cheryl is pretty creepy but I wish the execution was a little tighter. Right now it seems like Cheryl is sitting on a swing that’s floating in mid air. Even with my nitpicking I still think it’s loads better than the US SH4 boxart I hated that screaming ghost it looked so cheesy! 🙂

Silent Hill Shattered Memories…at Comic Con 09?

Posted By: Whitney   July 25th, 2009 | 10:00 pm

Apparently I missed out trying Silent Hill Shattered Memories while attending Comic Con because some cam videos from Comic Con were posted on Gametrailers. I wish I could have played the demo! The clerks at the Konami booth told me they didn’t bring any demos to the show 🙁 I wonder what booth these were from?

Silent Hill Shattered Memories Awarded with Best Game of e3 2009 in 411mania.com first Annual Awards

Posted By: Whitney   June 15th, 2009 | 12:13 pm

8373

In 411mania.com awarded Silent Hill Shattered Memories with their Best Wii game at e3 2009 in their First Annual Awards.

411 Best of e3 2009 Awards

“This re-imagining of the original classic once again lets us play as Harry Mason. While the game is a departure from the series we are used to. Players can do little more than shove off the monsters and run. The game gets intense, because these guys don’t let up. The choices you make can also affect the game as a whole. Nothing was specified, but according to Konami, playing the game one way could make Cybil a hard-nosed, tough as nails cop, while playing another could make her the “sexy” cop with the top of her shirt unbuttoned. The game could actually be a bit unsettling if played alone. It is definitely one of the Wii games to keep an eye on.”

Best Wii Game: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

The Wii isn’t just about minigame compilations and fitness routines. There was an impressive showing of Wii games this year at E3, and though they ranged from family-friendly to mature, the game that stood out the most was the reimagining of the original Silent Hill. Changing up the gameplay so that all you’re armed with is a trusty flashlight, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories made us remember how creepy the game was the first time around and reminded us that it’s possible to get your heart rate to go up without a Wii Balance Board.

Shattered Memories takes on a different approach to its story and gameplay, giving those who have played the original game a reason to reprise the role of Harry Mason as he searches for his daughter. Instead of requiring you to fend off the supernatural inhabitants of Silent Hill with makeshift weapons, the game is clearly creating the freakiest and most uncomfortable setting possible.

Even though we haven’t had a chance to sit down (in a dark room with no distractions) and get some true alone time with Shattered Memories, we found that we couldn’t tear ourselves away from this frightening world. Running from your pursuers and struggling to survive becomes an intense battle with your nerves, especially since the game has no combat. The experience at E3 left us wanting more, and we hope to return to the nightmarish town of Silent Hill as soon as possible.

Other Finalists

*Dead Space Extraction (WII)
*Muramasa: The Demon Blade (WII)
*New Super Mario Bros. Wii (WII)
*Wii Sports Resort (WII)

Silent Hill Shattered Memories one of Gamepro’s top 27 Games at e3 2009

Posted By: Whitney   June 11th, 2009 | 12:24 pm

GamePro’s E3 2009 Awards: The 27 Best Games

Silent Hill Shattered Memories was one of Gamepro’s selection of the top 27 Games at e3 2009. They seemed very intrigued by how the game can alters on your choices in the initial pysch questionare and decisions made in the game

“We got our hands on this Wii exclusive next installment in Konami’s bloodcurdling horror franchise and we have to say we’re quite impressed by what we saw. The game is far more than just a remake of the original as Shattered Memories big draw is its psyche profile you build for your character as you progress in the game. The first thing you do in a game is fill out a questionnaire, answering questions like “do you enjoy role-playing during sex” and “do you often relax with a drink.” This is just one of many ways the game is able to mold the game based on the decisions you make in the game. How you change the game ranges from small things like obtaining different objects to bigger things like actually encountering different characters. For instance, when you meet Cybil, the female cop from the original, she’ll either appear as a sexy cop with her shirt opened up a bit, or a swat-type hardass, or a more down to earth small town cop.”
