Team Silent's main designers should regroup and work with an external studio to give us Silent Hill 5 for the PS360.

I hope it's that.

From the jobs section:

"Climax are one of the leading creative lights of independent games development with a great history, but our future is even more exciting with awesome titles such Overlord: Dark Legend for Codemasters, our stunning and refreshing take on the horror genre and our original ground breaking next-gen game for the PS3 and the Xbox 360. "

Yeah, it's a new Silent Hill for PSP/WII

Konami don't have an amazing IP collection.

I wonder if the PS360 game is a Konami IP. I could see a new Contra game I guess.

Silent Hill Wii would get a purchase from me instantaneously if it was an original title and they did some cool things with the Wiimote. I hope they bring the other games over too if possible. I'm a huge fan of horror.

angry @ Blu-Ray's success
Climax made Silent Hill 0rigins for PSP and PS2. Not really a favorite of mine due to various gameplay related problems (would take too long to list), but Climax cared enough to boost the PS2 version in terms of graphics.
Whatever it is, I hope the gameplay is good. I’m not worried about the visuals.

If it's a PSP/Wii project I doubt they'll do much to exploit the possibilities of the Wii remote. Expect a lot of needless waggling though.

Unless they build it on the Wii and port it down.

But that doesn't happen much. :(

Surely you'll be able to move a flashlight using the Wiimote ala Fragile.

Even if you could, the design of the game wouldn't take advantage of the idea since it couldn't be replicated on the PSP.

Easy. They're developing it for the PSP2 with a second analog stick.

It's so funny how everyone is now doing "horror games" on the wii.. Once one developer does a successful game, all others follow. But they're too afraid to take a chance and make something different... FPS games, etc.

What was the successful game, if I may ask.

The website only mentioned Wii until recently if I remember correctly. If it started as a Wii only project, the PSP version probably is a down port.

Climax seems pretty committed with Wii, just look Overlord, they build a custom engine for it, and it looks gorgeous. I doubt they aren´t giving the same treatment to SHWii gameplay wise.

Wait, how many horror titles does the Wii have right now?

But, I agree with a lot of people here, it has to be Silent Hill. Allthough, the whole refreshing take on the horrorgenre makes me a bit sceptical. After Dead Space Extraction you'll just have to wait.

Silent Hill? On the Wii?

I’ll believe it when I see it.

If you take a wide definition of the horror genre, there's quite a few of them on the Wii. On top of my head, I can think of:

Out now:
RE4: Wii Edition
RE:UC
REmake Wii (in Japan)
REZero Wii (in Japan)
Fatal Frame 4 (in Japan)
HotD2&3
House of the Dead Overkill
LIT

Upcoming:
Cold Mountain
Dead Space Extraction
The Calling
Suda51's Action/Horror Project
This?

Vaporware:
Winter
Sadness

Shovelware:
Escape from Bug Island
Alone in the Dark

Wait a minute. Isn't there an on-rails Silent Hill Arcade shooter?
Click to expand...
No. It doesn't exist. Never has. Never will.
Anyone talking about Silent Hill: the Arcade is a liar, and you shouldn't believe him.
All screenshots and videos are fake. Yamaoka made them himself just for the lulz.

hoho... published by Konami too http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scene/2009/02/saw-video-game-picked-up-by-konami.html

But the developer is or was Zombie Studios.
Click to expand...

The developer for PC, PS3 and 360 versions is/was Zombie Studios. There's always the possibility that Climax have been separately contracted to provide a Wii/PSP version because of their experience with the systems.

I'm hoping that isn't the case, as I'm thoroughly sick of the Saw series (and have been pretty much since the first movie...) and I'd much rather see Climax working on a Wii Silent Hill, or preferably a new horror IP.

I found Origins to be fairly enjoyable. Never really brilliant but competent nonetheless. If was definitely on the short side, it was a bit dissapointing with its suite of endings (a normal, a bad and a UFO) and 3 out of the 4 locations felt like they were sticking a little too closely to the series hallmarks (not 1, but 2 hospitals and a motel). Saying that I really liked the theatre and what they did with that.

Didnt IGN hint not so long ago that Konami was bringing an IP to Wii we wouldnt expect?

Silent Hill would fit a lot better with that then Saw.

Well, the game also being on the PSP should be enough to discourage this theory.
If there was no PSP SKU, I'd agree with you.
