Those of you for whom Silent Hill 5 did not hit the spot, you may see a remake of one of the most treasured horror games in history - for the Wii no less.
Quote:
VG247 understands that UK developer Climax is working on a Wii remake of an the first Silent Hill.
Konami has declined to comment on the talk.
Few specifics are known as yet, but apparently motion control’s been included for torch functions.
The first Silent Hill, designed by Keiichiro Toyama, was released for PlayStation in 1999.
Climax is working on two Konami games, as shown on the firm’s website. The remake is the Wii and PSP project you can see there.
A 360 and PS3 game is also in the works for Konami, but this is an “original ground breaking next-gen game,” according to a Climax job posting.
The Wii? What a waste for a remake. The graphics won't be that much better. What's the point? A port would make more sense.
A full blow remake revamped with HD graphics on PS3/360 would kick ass, though. That's what I originally thought when I read this topic. What a shame.
Come on, you don't want to flail at monsters with the Wiimote, or point it like a flashlight?
If it is done right it could be pretty good. Not as good as what it could be like if it were done for the PS3/360/PC, but certainly not bad by any means.
I looked at this and though 'oh another boring remake for the PS3 or 360'. But maybe this will actually be good since they might not just remake it with the latest OMFG graphics and bad voice overs and lose any of the horror/charm of the original.
But seriously, a game like this could be interesting on the Wii. But I guess that's not going to persuade the people who insist on playing the Wii by wildly flailing their arms and shouting waggle waggle waggle or whatever it is you do.
