Silent Hill: Shattered Memories: Is It A Remake, Will There Be No Combat, Will Pyramid Head Return?

May 09, 2009 in Interview comments 6

In a recent interview with Destructoid.com, Konami's Tomm Hulett discussed the upcoming Wii game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. He explained why the game isn't an exact remake of the first SH game, why there will be no combat in the game, the problems with recent survival horror games, and why we won't be seeing Pyramid Head this time around.

Go to the source for the full interview.

Discuss in the Silent Hill: Shattered Memories forum

All Shattered Memories jokes aside, once we started to take a closer look at Climax's upcoming contribution to the world of Silent Hill, we realized we had quite a few questions we wanted to ask then. Being the Silent Hill purist that I am, I've spent an obsessive and borderline unhealthy amount of time on all the previous games in the series. I had to know more!

Lucky for me, Konami's Tomm Hulett, lead producer on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, was willing to let me pelt him with questions, not to mention ask a lot of the annoying fan stuff. Will Pyramid Head be back? Will I hate the lack of focus on combat? Will this make devotees of the original Silent Hill rage and hurl the Wiimote at their TVs? Follow me past the jump to get the skinny on all this and more.

    Tomm: I subscribe to the idea that Pyramid Head was unique to James Sunderland in Silent Hill 2. He's not just some guy who walks around with a big knife. I think if anyone was going to use Pyramid Head again, they would need a really good reason, and they would have to let him serve some kind of purpose. He was a heavy thematic character in SH2, and less so in SHH or the movie. Without the emotional ties to James, he loses his impact and is just a cheap scare, and that's doing a disservice to such an iconic character.
    I love this man <3

    Seriously, get rid of the guys who made Homecoming. Get these guys to make Silent Hill 6.

    If people left the *bleep*ing thing alone, that would be great. Let's get creative with the monsters, can't tell me Team Silent is the only ones that can come up with some disturbing stuff....they're the ones behind SIREN, so other consoles are shit outta luck if that's the case.

    I love these guys, their whole attitude towards this is really what we need to see more of from Developers on the Wii.

    I like the sound of their ideals behind making the game. I hope this is done well, I'll probably end up buying both the Wii and PSP editions.
