After reading Siliconera.com’s update on the Wii release I decided to check if anything has changed with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on Gamestop. There was something new! There’s a now a cover picture and a December 1 release date for the BradyGames Wii/PSP/PS2 strategy guide:

WARNING: If you don’t want any spoilers about certain characters or endings don’t read the product description!

The PSP and PS2 release dates are still unknown but according to Siliconera:

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Thaws In December

I really hope this is true 🙂 I just got a wii and I’m itching to play 🙂 Hopefully Konami will make a news post regarding the release some time soon!

So I’m pretty clueless with the whole forum setting up but luckily I have friends who are rather awesome at it! Ratiocinator, from Letter of Silent Heaven, thought it would be cool to combined our two fledgling communities and I accepted!

I am proud to present AOMM’s new forum:

The Silent Hill Community!

Looks pretty snazzy right? Now if you already signed up on my original forum don’t worry all your information and posts have been transferred…except if you uploaded an avatar to my server you will need to do it again 🙂

Yay looks like we have a new update from the Official SH:SM blog…I didn’t think we would have one this week considering there wasn’t an update on Tuesday. Nothing really Silent Hill: Shattered Memories related this time around. Instead Tomm talked about how the Konami employee’s celebrated Halloween and various Halloween related game lists that appear on the internet 🙂 Near the end Tomm brought up the idea of a “Let’s Play Along journey through the original Silent Hill leading up to the release of Shattered Memories.” I think it’s a fun idea myself! Make sure to let him know what you think and leave a comment on the blog!

EDIT: Letter from Silent Heaven and I have teamed up our communities…The Forums are now located here 🙂

If you signed up on my forum before don’t worry your log in is still the same and your topics have been transfered. If you uploaded an avatar you will need to re-upload it in The Silent Hill Community!

Hey guys! Since most of you thought forums would be a good idea…I installed one. This is my first foray into making a forum so it’s not as pretty as I want but hopefully that will change soon. 🙂

Hey Guys I was thinking of adding a forum! Do you think it’s a good idea or do you think the news page is enough?

[edit] I was primarily thinking about adding a forum so when the is released there would be a central area for people to give their reviews or make note of changes in their gameplay. 🙂 It would mainly be a SH:SM forum!

[Edit!]

The awesome Piece0fSheet666 tracked down the pictures initial source, a concept artist Joy Lee who I assumed worked on the 2006 PSP title Silent Hill Experience!

According to google alerts and a recent topic started by Jecht, a Silent Hill Heaven forum member, two bloggers claim to know which monsters and characters are making a reappearance in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. After taking a quick peek I was highly suspicious of their information since many character art and cgi from the original game are primarily shown…however there was something that did pique my interest:

Could this really be Alessa from SH:SM? The pose on the swing is reminiscent to the Cheryl on a swing picture…but so far it’s only appeared on these two blog sites so it could just be fan art.

What do you guys think?

According to Gamestop.com and Nintendo.com the wii version of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories has a ship date of 12/08/09; however, if you order the PS2 or PSP version on Gamestop.com and place them in your shopping cart the ship date changes to 1/12/10. Sadly there’s still no word from Konami but I’m guessing it doesn’t look good for an ’09 release of the game here in the states..unless Konami plans to sell the wii version a month or so before the other two 🙁

I know this is pretty late but I only now really had the time to post this! Last Thursday the Official Silent Hill: Shattered Memories blog had a new update from James Sharman the Technical Lead Programmer on Shattered Memories. In the latest post programming aspect of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories was discussed including the lighting engine and some of the difficulties faced programing all the with the streaming levels. 🙂 Go check it out and make sure to leave a comment or two!

James? Is that you?

Still no official word from Konami but nintendo.com lists December 8, 2009 at the wii release date for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories!
