Silent Hill: Shattered Memories “will twist your mind and creep you out”

Followers of the upcoming horror title Silent Hill: Shattered Memories have nothing to fear when it comes to a toned down game just because the Wii is the lead SKU. Konami’s Tomm Hulett, lead producer of the game, is assuring fans that Shattered Memories will be a real, scary title. In fact, he says that the game “will twist your mind and creep you out just like any other good Silent Hill game would.”

“We know there is a large contingent of hardcore and lapsed gamers on Wii who are clamoring for ‘real’ titles. Silent Hill is real in every sense of the word. This is not a gameplay spinoff, it is a real Silent Hill title. These are real gameplay advances, not cheap control gimmicks. It’s not a port. The rating is still pending, but rest assured it will be scary. At no point did we come to a crossroads and decide ‘well let’s just do it this way because it’s on Wii.’ It will twist your mind and creep you out just like any other good Silent Hill game would, and all the choices we made were to serve good gameplay or a compelling story – never a misguided notion of ‘Wii is for young’ns.’
