Forums - Gaming Discussion - Silent Hill: Shattered Memories --Wii, PS2, or PSP?

d21lewis on 02 February 2010

So I was in Gamestop a couple of hours ago and I saw Assassins Creed 2 for $34, used!  Hell yeah!!!  I'm going back there tomorrow without my girlfriend and I'm buying it!!

 

And, while I was there, I saw Silent Hill:  Shattered Memories.  I planned to buy it for the Wii for some time, now (after I beat Silent Hill 4, which I still haven't beaten).  I just kept getting distracted.  But then, I saw that it was out for the PSP for $29!!  And then, I noticed that it was also out for the PS2 for $29. 

Now, I know that the Wii version is probably the best version, but is it $20 better?  Were any corners cut for the PS2/PSP versions?

Should I buy it?  Should I wait until the Wii version goes down in price?  WHAT!?

the game was designed for wii's ir, and guess... ps2/psp don't have it,
also there is a graphical ramp, it is really recomended to go with the wii version

For the PS2 version:
"For my money, the game controls and looks best on Wii. Not only is the Wii remote ideal for Mason's flashlight, but there are added visual effects in the Nintendo built. However, the PS2 iteration is no slouch, either. It very closely resembles the Wii incarnation and controls well enough with dual-analog sticks that gamers who don't own both systems won't miss the Wii remote. Meanwhile, since the content is otherwise identical, there's great fun to be had."

I don't think you will find many guys here who played the game on all 3 or at least 2 platforms.

Go with PS2 or wait for the inevitable price cut. Or buy the Wii game used.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I just searched Amazon and theres a deal for Silent hill on the Wii for $34 used. I'd jump on that.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

For a mere $5 extra, I can get the Wii version? Thanks griffinA!!

Given that there are no enemies to kill or weapons to be used at all, the main attraction for the game is the flashlight and the IR makes it interesting. The flashlight with analog stick will get boring. So Wii all the way.

The lighting and atmosphere are a huge part of the game, and naturally thats going to take a hit on the Ps2/PSP. The story is apparently the same, so i wouldnt worry about haveing a PS version. IF you dont plan on getting the game soon, however, id just wait for the inevitable price cut. That happens all too often with Wii "hardcore" games.

No problem sir, no problem.
