It doesn't really trailer well, but the first one is so unique and really good, I'm really looking forward to this.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. :D

EDIT: That is looking really god damn good! :O

I dunno man, it's almost like a point and click adventure with the interactions. I think that's part of what makes it look so interesting and has the pacing making sense. Be sure to check out the other two parts aswell.

But yeah, last I heard it's being ported to PS2 aswell.

I think it looks like an awesome horror adventure game that looks very, very interesting as a game. I play games, that's what I do, I don't really care if it feels identical to what has come before. In fact, I embrace when Silent Hill gives me another sensation and doesn't dwell on the same imagery over and over.

I really refuse to become this grumpy, cynical guy who dismisses everything that doesn't seem familiar. I honestly think this is one of the coolest things I've seen from E3 so far, so I'm stoked.

They don't want to call it a remake, they refer to it as re-imagining and use Cronenberg's The Fly as an example of what they're doing with this. It follows the story of Silent Hill but it adapts to this "psych profile" of you to tailor the experience and certain elements to *your past* so to speak. It's just so much more, even though at its heart it's set up like Silent Hill 1.

At no point do they actually refer to it as Silent Hill 1 either, so when the product is on shelves there's really no need to be protective of "an original". At that point it's a new game that either looks cool or doesn't. I think it looks super interesting personally, and I'm probably sensitive and easily depressed by people dismissing it. I mean it's already gonna get jacked up the bottom just by being a Wii game - which is actually integral to making it look so interesting to me with the point and click interface and adventure game like interactions with puzzles.

I know Brad Shoemaker at Giant Bomb got it demoed to him a while back and was super excited too so I guess it's me and him, if nobody else. :P

Oh and my partner in crime over at M7, Dominic, was really impressed too. Thanks to him for even bringing these videos to my attention.

As a comment on the series in general though, I too am a big fan of the series. I think I've expressed as much before. The thing that made me a fan in the first place however was closely tied to the games' ability to reinvent themselves and not adhere at all to what had gone before. That in itself made the next entry terrifying and interesting because you didn't know what to expect.

When the movie came out I was really pleased with how they nailed the imagery but I complained about Pyramid Head being in it because his inclusion in Silent Hill 2 was very deliberate, and in the movie he just appeared as fanservice. Fairly well handled fanservice, but fancervice nontheless.

Now I realise that even the imagery is fanservice. At this point there's a rigid belief of what Silent Hill looks and sounds like and people crave that out of every entry WHILE complaining about how the newer stuff is just re-using familiar elements. It's gotten to a point where the new games can't reinvent themselves at all.

The only thing I really, really crave with Silent Hill and want intact is its vagueness and disregard of the concepts of good and evil as polar opposites. I want an uncompromising, disturbing storyline that doesn't pad my fall at the end, but that's really it. Beyond that, as long as you don't just stick a conventional, predictable story in there, do what you think would be awesome with it and I will keep coming back to the series.

Weird principles coming before playing cool games is like turning into a zombie for me. Shoot me if it happens. :D

This looks cool. I'm a sucker for 2D platformers.

Speaking of 2D platformers.. you can never have enough Muramasa screenshots to drool over. God.... dammit.. this is easily one of the most beautiful games my tiny gamer eyes have been directed towards.

Very pretty.. wonder how it handles.

Some details on Shattered Memories from IGN, and here are all parts of the demonstration I linked to above:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I completely forgot about the camera phone mechanics when I talked about it before. Metroid Prime/Project Zero awesomeness. And classic Silent Hill static through the wiimote when enemies are nearby. :D

And a new trailer. :O

Trauma Team trailer

Aaaah, so awesome!

I love the Trauma Center games! :)

A Boy and His Blob preview at Gamespot makes the game look predictably super adorable. Hug button = instant win. :D
