Silent Hill Shattered Memories new interview


A new interview on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. I haven't had a chance to read the WHOLE thing, but here's one question and answer that made me feel a lot better about some doubts I previously had:

HARRYS GIRL: Why did you choose to change the plotline so that Harry and Cheryl live in SH? Doesn't making it Harry’s hometown take away from the fear of being in an unknown area and alone? How can you tell the original story, of Alessa calling Cheryl to the town, if Cheryl has lived there the entire time? And by the age/physical appearance of Dahlia, the new plotline seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the original SH, so why not just make it an entirely new game, instead of tramping about on an already existing plotline? Was it to bring in old fans while still targeting old fans, or some other reason?

TOMM: Silent Hill is about characters who realize that reality is not what they thought it was at the start of the game. James thought his wife died of illness 3 years earlier. Heather thought she was a regular girl. Henry thought he’d bought a sweet apartment with low rent, a view, and convenient shopping nearby.

By reimagining the original game, we can place fans directly into Silent Hill. You think you know what "reality" is, and you think you know what to expect ... but you don’t, because you’re in Silent Hill now. You’re part of the experience on a level that newcomers can’t be. When Dahlia showed up in the trailer, you didn’t think "I wonder what role that character will play." like you did when you first saw Angela and Eddie. You probably thought “That’s not Dahlia! What’s going on!?” You probably felt a bit like James when he first met Maria. This is at the core of why we chose to reimagine the original.


Not bad at all! They could have screwed up royally on that question, but I think they answered intelligently. Furthermore, it seems they were expecting the criticism they got.

Yes, so do I. It seems they WANTED the fans to have that reaction, and if it's true, than I have high hopes for this. Controlling fans' reactions is a major thing. lol

I don't get why make them live in Silent Hill when it's supposedly a ghost town. But I don't mind any other changes to characters or plotline. The first impression I got from the previews was that choices you make affect things later and that we we're digging in Harrys memories that could possibly be distorted here and there.
'S gonna be SWEET!

Aye quite agreed! They way they answered the questions told me they knew what they were doing from the beginning, and that alone make me breathe easier. ^^!

Hmm... good answers XD I'm certainly keeping my mind open on this game. I'm actually more excited about this than I was for SH 4 and Homecoming. I was worried at first because I was still hanging on to the original SH 1, but sometimes change and a new way of looking at things can be good, so I'm very interested in this now :) Plus, like you said before, if I don't like it, I still own the original SH 1 ^_^

SH4 was okay... but definitely better than SH3 in my opinion. Homecoming was pretty good but the fights could be so frustrating that the scare factor was taken away.

So yeah I too am very eager to see this one. :)

Haha. Ok, points to them for managing to turn the SH canon on its fandom. XD
