Too all the people bitching about this being on the Wii:
Guess what, Street Fighter II sold the most units and is Konami's most successful retail game of all time....on the SNES.
Where's SFIV?
Classic Bionic Commando was only on Nintendo systems for 20 years.
Where's Bionic Commando 2009?
Wii-only owners put up with a lot, soooooo...why not be happy for them, huh?

Silent Hill Remake is yes, very yes. I honestly couldn't get into the PS1 version after having played 2, 3 and 4 already, so I appreciate this.
The combat comment sounds exciting if possibly the game's final downfall, but everything else sounds bang up to order.
Gimme!

Why are you using melee weapons anyway? There are plenty of guns in the game.
Does Konami not have any staff left or something. Why do they keep farming this franchise out?
Pretty much. Wouldn't the Wiimote give combat a potential upgrade as well? Guess I'll have to wait and see how they're doing this.
Amir0x said:Wait I don't get it. Combat has never been Silent Hill's strong point, but every encounter is now a chase sequence? That sounds like one of the dumbest things ever.

Being a fan of the Clock Tower games, I'm not totally against the whole idea of chase sequences. However, it would seem to make more sense for certain enemies, like Pyramid Head. Bludgeoning abominations to death using the WiiMote as as lead pipe would have been good stress relief - and it wouldn't even matter if the gesture controls were imprecise. That was the point of having a Joe Everyman protagonist.
If they really are going this route, it would also make sense not to have all those permanently locked doors. Still, I hope they do not cut back on the exploration aspect. It was so fun just wandering around the town in parts 1 and 2, even if you could not go into every place you wanted to.
I hope they pull this off. Right now it seems like less enemy encounters and less exploration, however if they can make the encounters and areas more meaningful by doing so, more power to them.

...actually, I feel sorry for the remake itself, not for where the remake is made.
Silent Clock Tower? Give me a damn break.

I doubt that they're actually eliminating all combat, regardless of what the article says; more likely, there'll be more situations where you have to take advantage of the environment to dispose of enemies, in addition to the chase sequences. What's (probably) being gotten rid of is conventional weapon-based combat, not any sequence where you actually have to kill anything.

You're a sweet heart.
Also, I played the original, didn't get very far...I just wasn't that into it...maybe being on Wii will change that?
I hope it's scary as hell, and running from things being the main play mechanic doesn't really sound like a bad idea. Silent Hill remake putting the survival back into survival horror???

No Combat? I don't know what to think of this.
Anyway lulz at the people complaining that it's on the Wii. First the Wii has no good games then when it gets them people bitch.
I see no reason for this game to be on the PS3/360/PC. If they use the motion controls correctly and the Wii's unique capabilities this could be really fun.

Apparently in this re-imagined Silent Hill, monsters are defeated through the art of Mime.

Those details are amazing. Every single one of them. Bring it on. I know what I want in my horror games and this is it. I just hope it still feels like Silent Hill, at least to a decent degree, and that stuff like the music and story are still of typical SH quality.

Yeah, you're right.
Totally.
It doesn't look anything like the iconic design from the original. The charm, the down-to-earth everyman look Harry had to him. People responded to the tiny details that made Harry Mason...well, Harry Mason. That design....sigh...it'll live on in every gamer's memories as one of the most endearing character designs of....the entire industry.
...it's a fucking tragedy.
VerTiGo said:
Ditto. I think it's mostly people who never owned Gamecube and were upset they didn't get to play it that hate on it. To this day I just cannot see how anyone could hate on the game. It improves on just about everything while still providing an awesome story and gameplay experience.

Looks like the "new" Harry Mason wears glasses.

I don't know why you guys are making a joke out of this. I like the art (who gives a fuck about his hair?) and the lack of backtracking and useless doors is a huge plus for me. Sounds like it's going to be superb.

This will be bought soooooooooo hard. The no combat sounds great, I loved the feeling it gave in Haunting Ground(yeah, the game is flawed, blah blah). Im sure it will be executed differently in here though. Never cared for the melee combat in any of these games anyway, its always been busted looking.

Konami didn't make Street Fighter 2 or 4 mor did Konami make Bionic Commando. Capcom did, and if you already knew this why mention Capcom games???

You know, maybe you can't beat them hand to hand? I mean, they are freakish monsters that you normally wouldn't have a chance to kill. Maybe part of it is escaping, and using the enviorment to kill them in various different ways?
You can probably "defend" yourself, though. Push them off, etc.

Thanks. Too bad HUNK, whilst an RE character, wasn't in RE5 - hence my disappointment with that game and the creation of this avatar.
You can troll all you want in the RE5 thread. That's why it exists.
This, however, is about Silent Hill, a game from a different company. It's fine to love or hate the new approach. But, it's clear you're trying to bait people.
