Silent Hill Shattered Memories - What Happened?

What happened? plants vs zombies battle for neighborville 🤔

[@jamesstewart7628]

I bought this game forever ago on PSP when I was in the army and didn't care for it originally due to the confusing chase segments. Then, years later, when I was in work release (jail, allowed personal electronics without cameras), I picked it up again. I was locked up for an alcohol offense and ended up getting the alcoholic "bad" ending. I literally started crying on the spot right there in my bunk. This game cut straight through my heart and still has a massive effect on me. I'm now 8 years sober and have a daughter of my own who I love deeply and am glad she will never have to see me drunk.

[@LNSLateNightSaturday]

Thanks for sharing this, man. Congratulations on your recovery!

[@famulanrevengeance3044]

[@kaydwessie296]

Congrats on getting your life together and I’m legitimately so glad this game was there to help you through it.

[@MASTEROFEVIL]

What did you do?

[@nicolasray1571]

The funny thing about Silent Hill is that it was inspired by western movies and culture, but it's the interpretation from a foreign perspective that makes the work stand out. There's just something about being inspired by a culture you don't fully understand that makes it all the more alluring.

[@Catheidan]

Neon Genesis Evangelion, anyone?

[@Legiteral]

That’s where you either get a Ghosts of Tsushima or an Assassin’s Creed Shadow

[@persona3rulez]

@@Catheidan it's set in Japan and made by Japanese, why? Is it about Asuka being German? I don't think it changes anything...

[@persona3rulez]

Nah, I'd argue there's nothing about the perspective, it's the horror culture that matters. Just compare the Japanese Ring movie and the American one. You'll see that the Japanese is rather bright, warm, quiet and it's about "horror in broad daylight". It makes you feel uncomfortable through the idea that your everyday life won't change even if some evil ghost is trying to kill you. You'll go to work, meet your friends, do the grocery and e.t.c. until it's night again and suddenly you remember the horrors you've seen on that tape and the days go by you get more and more paranoid, your horrific death is near but the whole world doesn't know about it and you yourself don't know if you should go to work or try to do something about your inevitable fate. One of the victims, well, technically two victims, have died in a car. Like, the premise shows you that a TV isn't required for Sadako to kill her victims, they'll die with horror on their faces no matter what they're doing and where. That's the scary part. You can't escape it and nobody will notice it. It's even scarier than Freddy Krueger since you have to at least fall asleep before he kills you, while Sadako WILL kill you in broad daylight and NOBODY will know the cause. Now look at the American one. It has this disgusting green filter, it's constantly trying to disgust you with all the bugs and dead horses(which I don't remember in the Japanese one), there are also these omens like a stepladder. I mean, yeah, the Japanese tape also had these bizarre and absurd scenes but not a stepladder on a white wall, lol. Basically, where Japanese tried to make you have paranoia everywhere you go, Americans just make you... well... vomit, I guess? The film tries to scare it's viewers with disgusting imagery, the idea is that it makes you wanna throw up, that's why you'll feel uncomfortable and that's why when Samara(a.k.a. Sadako) shows up you've already feeling unwell and want the movie to end. Well, it kinda works and people kinda love this kind of movies. If you think about it, The Thing was also really disgusting, The Fly, The Saw is kinda disgusting and e.t.c. It's the western way. Now, it doesn't mean ALL western writers do that, many try to be original, but it's the viewers who like it. Different mentality. Japanese really love horrors that are as down to earth as possible. The more realistic it gets, the better it is and by realistic I don't mean the quality of CGI, it's the atmosphere of everyday life and the simplicity of the horror. It kinda applies to most Asians btw. Silent Hill went hybrid and did something that both parties could admire. Western audience loves the creatures and the themes, Eastern audience loves the originality and the atmosphere, especially 4 should be dear to them but something went wrong. Well, they have Fatal Frame 3 which has a rather similar idea. Oh, yeah, Fatal Frame 3 is a great example of turning Ring, The Nightmare on the Elm Street and Ju-On into a GOOD game. You have you're paranoia during home sequences, which at first feel rather calming, like a safe room in Resident Evil, until... And you have your genuine fear of ghosts and jumpscares during dream sequences. It's not about making something about a different culture, it's BEING in a different culture. The Japanese did their horror like a Japanese person would, the Americans did their horror like an American would. SH 1? Being locked in an unknown environment searching for a close one, no help whatsoever. 2? Being the only one who sees the horrors that haunt you personally. 3? Again the only one seeing horrors and it's also about a young girl running from shady people(fear of being kidnapped and she's also locked out from everybody else at the mall). 4? Can't feel safe at home, spooky, also Freddy Krueger vibes. Homecoming? Disgust and violence, simple as that(oh, and PTSD taken from Jehovah's Ladder). Downpour? That's... Dude running from police??? Uhm... well... I actually don't know how to interpret it, lol. Origins was kinda good because it tried to be SH 1. Shattered Memories was kinda okay because it tried to be psychological but it's actually just another PTSD story and there weren't any monsters to begin with.

[@Catheidan]

@@persona3rulez my sibling in Christ, if you can't see the Christian symbolism that NGE is steeped in, that's on you

[@Maxler5795]

fun fact: i took this game to philosophy class, because we were studying psychology at the moment and used the ending's psych analisis for the class.

[@RazorBladezX]

[@laurenkaitlyn6341]

Shattered Memories is a good enough game, but imagine how much better it would have been if the original Cold Heart idea had been allowed to happen

[@didaibr1]

While I understand you wanting a sequel the game would look like a RE kinda clone(not that is a bad thing, and they are already kind a clone), but now Silent hills have a really good intresting(imo) game, the psvita one dont count lol

[@mekich08]

Make our skin shiver from beginning till the end of the game

[@TheBlackSeraph]

If they ever do a HD remake hopefully they can have a Cold Heart episode included (preferably with a better title)

You have 2 ways of playing Shattered Memories back then: 1. Buying this on the Wii 2. Staying on the previous Gen

[@HenriqueRJchiki]

I played it on the ps2 back in the day

[@jeannecaelum5167]

I played on PSP, was a great handheld title.

[@7Mel0dy7]

PSP!

[@ConsciousCloud]

​@@jeannecaelum5167Yeah same, this was the last PSP game I ever bought for it and I had a blast playing it. Loved the psychological profile parts and just going around the town looking for Cheryl.

[@Shimazaki00]

[@Sephigruen]

I loved Shattered Memories. "I love my daddy" will be stuck in my head forever. The puzzles were cool and the changes in the world, too.

[@artbargra]

I've played the first one so many times. It is one of my favorite games ever. Shattered Memories is a damn good game, both as a Wii game (it is technically impressive) and as a Silent Hill (maybe not as chilly, but the _mindf*cks_ were incredible). I loved every minute of it.

[@amandacrystalrayan8542]

I never played never even seen it anywhere I had a lot of Wii games Metroid punch out donkey Kong Mario galaxy just never came across this

[@chriswakefield6469]

That ending crushed me

[@darklinkinfinite]

Shattered Memories is honestly one of my favorite games of that generation, and one of my top Wii games overall.

[@BlinksAwakening]

Between this and RE4 Wii edition, it's very interesting how 2 of the best third party games for the system that made best use of the Wii's capabilities are from the 2 titans of the survival horror genre.

[@getshwiftygaming447]

It's also interesting how the 3rd entry in both games was the last time the fans were mostly on the same page. now there are wildly different sects of fans for both series.

[@KeyUSeeCZ]

@@getshwiftygaming447Thats a good thing, it means that both games are different, even if they are the same genre.

[@ThePhantomTommy]

The twist is the thing that stuck with me all these years later, very well done. I forgot all about the bloody chase sequences.

[@Sm0k3turt]

Genuinely would love to see a What Happened on Silent Hill 2. Both games. It’s just an interesting dev story, both sides.

[@Aupsic-hh5sy]

I remember playing this on the PS2 and I absolutely loved it. I played it over and over again trying to get the different interactions, cutscenes and endings.

[@OneColdMonkey]

I bought the PS2 version of the game just for completing my PS2 set when it came out, and never got around to opening it. Which was apparently a really good idea, because it's one of my most valuable games now lol

[@bontonne]

Bought my PS2 copy at GameStop for $17 back in the day, glad I kept cuz it's also my most valuable game :)

Admit it, people! When you colored in the picture book and saw the colors transfer to the real house and people, it blew your fucking minds at the time.

[@Michformer]

3:34 Nice of you to play “Intro Perk Walk” by Daniel Licht (RIP) in the BG. Work he did on Downpour was quite good.

[@chrisdiokno5600]

I remember hearing how the main reason this game was made was so it could be made at all. Like, the devs originally wanted to do an original thing, but then were told "Yo, Konami wants to do a remake of 1. If yah sell this as a remake, they'll greenlight you."

[@greed-1914]

The twist was definitely fun. I also appreciated that the game seemed to see through my attempts to skew it with the psychological tests and gave a more accurate result based on gameplay.

[@loonzoldick]

what did you game in your case? how did it affect the story? tell us don't leave us hanging

[@gfjmember]

May I request a What Happened? on Zero Time Dilemma? There HAS to be a story there, being cancelled then resurrected but with a spaghetti of a plot

[@Runeofarchers]

seconding this. I had been really excited for the resurrected third entry and then we got that mess of a plot.

[@TheAxeLordOfFire]

Zero Time Dilemma’s my favorite in the series, so I’m actually really curious what happened during development!

Oh dang, I'd love to know more about it. So disappointed in that game, especially after how strong Virtue's Last Reward was.

Your loss, dude. Plenty of hidden gems on that one

[@artbargra]

@@austinkasunic1291 It's way different, I'll give you that. And I understand if hardcore fans are output by it. But, just like the first two, SM is an experience. You should give it another try.

Shattered Memories and Origins are really underrated Post-SH4 games of the franchise

[@dinglebingus2625]

they actually understood the assignments i also don't hate downpour personally

[@matrix255]

Shattered Memories has nothing to do with Silent Hill they just slapped the title to sell more copies and Origins is a bad game the story makes no sense and while the SH games were never known for having amazing gameplay Origins took two steps back from SH3 and 4. Credit where credit us due it does look very nice for a PSP game but that's about it.

[@MeanStreamFraudCast]

To be honest, I remember even liking Homecoming 😂 I didn't even mind the silent hill hd collection! Maybe I'm just easily pleased?

I agree, I actually loved both games, I wish that Sony bring them back as part of the PS Classics catalog on the PS4/5 in somepoint.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories was truly something really special it was amazing

[@GenerationWest]

Shattered Memories, the title that's good enough... But it's a godsend where the franchise was for the last few years, until it's long decade plus death.

[@Blackhawk19892]

The best post 4 silent hill game and genuinely a fnatastic wii game.

[@MarinetteDupainCheng564]

even developer Tom Hulett said it was his own favorite

[@WhimsicottFanatic]

As an outsider to the Silent Hill series, Shattered Memories has always seemed like a "Super Paper Mario" situation to me A game that plays wildly differently from its predecessors, and when it comes to root aspects that really matter in "What makes a game in this series", some aspects are completely absent, yet the ones that are there are done so well they almost kinda overflow and slightly fill in the holes of the missing aspects All of this ultimately leading to a divisive game where one half of the fanbase disowns it and calls it just as bad as all the other stinkers after the golden era, and the other half happily puts it up alongside the golden era entries as one of the best regardless of how different it is Honestly, I hope I can get my hands on a copy and play it for myself some day I don't really do well with horror [if you need an idea on how bad, when I was a kid playing *Luigi's Mansion* for the first time, I was shaking like a chihuahua], but everything I've ever seen about Shattered Memories has always cemented it as an incredibly interesting game in my mind

[@ComradeChyrk]

I highly recommend playing the game especially if horror games are hard for you. It's not really scary at all especially since when not in the otherwold segments, there are no monsters at all. The game is phenomenal.

[@mrnewsmvn]

One of my favorite games ever is Prince of Persia: Warrior within. You can't find much about development stories on the internet and clearly something happened because it was WAY too different from Sand of time and The two thrones. I would love to see an episode on Warrior within!

I bought this when it was new on the PS2. This was well after PS2 had fades away and the PS3 took over. I remember my roommate being surprised they still made new PS2 games. Still have it.

[@suis1822]

The emotional core of the story of Shattered Memories is what really makes it for me, rarely does a horror game get to me as much as Shattered Memories does, the Love Lost ending just drives that home and its my favorite ending

[@EmperorSeth]

It's hardly my favorite Silent Hill game (the chase sequences were pretty unimpressive) but I still get a lot from the game's general presentation, psychological concepts, and overall plot. The way it re-imagined all the Silent Hill 1 characters was quite impressive, too. The "good" ending still gets me a bit teary.

[@DaDoom1]

Shattered Memories had the most chill music of the franchiae. Good memories

[@LemonRush7777]

The shadow (or ice) world being reduced to a marathon and you quickly realizing the normal game world had no danger or anything removed the crucial aspect of psychological terror from it. A shame, since the Wiimote use was stellar and the other gimmick was pretty interesting.

[@bryanmoberg8408]

such a bad decision that was replicated in downpour. The otherworld is one of the most interesting things about the series, and having it be all chase sequences so you can't take in the creepy atmosphere is super disappointing.

[@akako-tan]

I disagree with this. There's always the fear that the world will shift at any moment and an intense chase section will happen, and it is handled well in the game: where you least expect the world just starts shifting.

[@xSpicySaltx]

i dont know how legit this is, or what. but ive read somewhere, that Silent hill V was briefly turned into silent hill homecoming. the prototype for V from team silent was canned, so the western devs got their hands on it, and had tons of art works concept art for it. but was turned into homecoming

“…that was kind of the end of that!” Boy, was it.

Seeing the gameplay in the background really makes it super interesting. I say that because when I was younger, I remember seeing the wii and psp versions for like $5 at kmart just loaded on the shelves by checkout, makes me wish I grabbed one

[@bobafett4265]

From a guy who's played Silent Hill Shattered Memories I feel the Cold Heart pitch concept sounds legions better than whatever that "Reimagining" of the 1st game tried to be, it would've filled a niche for Survival Horror on the Wii which other Resident Evil carrying that genre and a few other games there wasn't much on there and I think maybe it could've gotten more fans than it currently does. Plus it would've been historically the second time the series would get a female protag for a mainline entry, three if you count the sub scenario from the director's cut/greatest hits version of SH2 where you play as Maria.

Shattered memories was the first silent hill game I've ever played and since then I bought a ps2 for the soul purpose of playing all the old ones. It's become my favorite series ever made. And on the wii, the level of detail blew my mind at that time. It looked sssooo good.

[@laurentritton3106]

I will die on the hill that Book of Memories was a fun spinoff, I also still love Shattered Memories, actually played it again last year

Despite that was a weird re-imagining game and some parts of the story was very WTF!? to me (I mean that Harry and Dahlia scene..., if you know what I mean 😂), still I loved that game, it had some nice details and features here and there, the puzzles were quite nice, the run hide-and-seek aspect was actually not that bad that I thought, the soundtrack was amazing and the gameplay with the Wiimote was quite good and decent. It clearly was a game that had some love and effort put into it and not just a random cashgrab Wii title.

Konami was trying to capitalize hype for the upcoming Silent Hill games by releasing Silent Hill: Short Message for free on PSN for PS5 similar to P.T. on PSN for PS4 which would hold Silent Hill fans over for the wait in time for the releases of Silent Hill: Ascension and Silent Hill 2 (2024).

[@TheSynthPunk]

I love Climax's takes on Silent Hill. Homecoming and Downpour, while not HORRIBLE, felt too much like they wanted to be Silent Hill 2, while the spirit of the original 4 games was to experiment with every new entry, to never let Silent Hill feel static. We went from a town marred in creepy cult stuff, to a town that torments you psychologically, to a story of generational trauma and growing past it, to a pretty interesting supernatural crime thriller, where the town itself was the tool of murder. Shattered Memories does indeed capture that feeling.

I actually liked this game a lot, I used to play it every year around Halloween. I actually really liked the fact that you did not have weapons I found just running for your life pretty intense.

One of the few SH games I still replay. Love reading the psychological report that is shown alongside the ending credits. Also, I am not a big fan of the Silent Hill cult, so I am glad it was gotten rid of.

I still remember the twist end of Shattered Memories, which made the therapy sessions made more sense.
