VG247 understands that UK developer Climax is working on a remake of an[sic] 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.

Climax was unavailable for comment at the time of writing. You didn’t see us here, right?

i always wanted to try the series, so maybe this is where I can start

The first one was probably the best, and better graphics can't hurt, either.

Silent Hill 2 was the best in my opinion.

This is still very good news for those who have not played the game yet and wish to get into the series. I found this series to be much better than Resident Evil.

Shame that Wii does not deserve this sort of Game from Konami... oh well

Silent Hill 1 was a very good game, if they remake it properly (like Capcom remade RE) it could be great.

Is the Wii/PSP one on rails?

Motion controls for the torch? Don't they mean the IR??

Ugh, no more ports, PLEASE!

I'm fine with ports. There are lots of games which deserve Wii controls. However it looks pretty insulting when they announce ports of old games and then announce the new games in the same franchise as PS3/360 games.

Let's hope the port is decently done at least.

It looks like third parties have finnaly decided how to view the Wii demographic.

Wii = new gamers only so we can rehash old games agian and ignore the new iterations

PS 3 & 360 = Old school and hardcore gamers that get all the new Iterations of existing games.
