First game in iconic franchise to be revamped for Wii, PS2 and PSP by Britsoft firm
Climax has been confirmed as developing a new Silent Hill game for Konami.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will hit PS2, PSP and Wii, and is pitched as a ‘reinvention’ of the first game in the series, originally developed in Japan.
Series composer Akira Yamaoka has been confirmed as working on a score for this new title.
It’s not the first time Konami has turned to a developer in the West to work on new versions of its survival horror franchise. Climax recently developed a PSP version and Foundation 9’s Double Helix last year produced Silent Hill: Homecoming for 360 and PS3.
Konami has also recently turned to another US independent, Zombie, for another horror game – a title based on the five-strong Saw movie franchise.

This news is somewhat surprising in the wake of the PSP version of Silent Hill that Climax produced two years ago that was universally regarded as poor.
Well, some people didn't think that the game was poor at all.

I actually liked the PSP game very much. There were issues, the mirrors were a poor design choice and there was no real reason not to just up and leave the town until near the end, but I enjoyed the classic puzzling and gameplay.
That said a remake of SH1... by westerners... FAIL/10. After hearing about homecomming this is in no doubt of being an atrocity. I'll still buy it tho but on PSP so I have no waggle to deal with.
