Need wait for the Euro release, damn the Wii and its crappy region lock, when they tried this crap with Homecoming I had an import before the game was released where I imported it from.


Still pretty sure I'll dislike this, how can you have a Silent Hill game without fighting?

Survival horror games are not about fighting.  The combat systems in past SH games will at best competent(Homecoming) and at worst clunky.  Even Yahtzee, a huge SH2 fan, feels that way about the combat.

 

Rationing of weapons and ammo is a large part of the Silent Hill series.

 

While true that not all survival horror games require weapons, Silent does does.  Is how the series was built.

No one denies that Shatter Memories is making bold changes but they aren't bad.  Resident Evil 4 was GotY quality due to making bold changes.  Not being able to fight and having to run seems just as if not more freightening than rationing weapons and ammo.
