Video: "This Was My Attempt To Redeem The Story Of Silent Hill 3" - Revisiting Shattered Memories With Sam Barlow

I honestly only think of shattered memories when I think of horror on the wii.

That game was amazing.

Also, I often read these articles on my phone in public places, so forcing us to watch the video without a transcript is a little frustrating, although I imagine it let's you guys put out more content, more quickly.

Thanks for reminding us of this classic horror gem!

I bought Shattered Memories a few years ago after beating Silent Hill 1-3 (started SH 4 but didn't finish it) and enjoyed all of them. I couldn't get into it and stopped playing after a while. One of these days I'll have to go back and give it another shot. However, I'm so hyped for Silent Hill 2 remake!

I always wanted to play this game. It’s still in my backlog list all the way to the Wii!!

That and Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

Loved this game on Wii. The way it used the Wiimote like a torch was brilliant. And I love how all the little things you do (like exploring the women's toilets) determines the story outcomes.

@YoshiF2 Fragile Dreams is great, but be warned, its gameplay kinda sucks; combat is quite dull and there's a lot of backtracking and repetitive fetch quests. However, its tone and sense of loneliness is fantastic.

Very interesting. I feel that Shattered Memories is kind of forgotten owing to how detached it is from the rest of the series. It's a very interesting entry that deserves to be remembered. I also wish it was its own thing though I don't honestly feel the connections to the original/remake aspect of it are all that interesting.

I completely disagree with his opinion of 3, though, it has its own flavour, does a good job of wrapping things up and should have freed the series to go off and do its own thing. 3, if anything, is a little overlooked in my eyes.

I'll check out the video later but it's always nice to see this game get some attention. I'm a huge SH fan and Shattered Memories is only topped by SH2.

@YoshiF2 Fragile Dreams is a lovely beautifully haunting game even with all its rough edges, you definitely should make that happen.

Its a fantastic game. I remember getting this back in 2010 (game was out in feb in the EU) and it was out around when Heavy Rain released.. and a lot of people were suckered in by the empty promises from Cage.

Shattered Memories suffered from people scoffing at the Wii, but the game was really good in using motion controls (one of the better ones on the system) and the fact it was made by a non-Team Silent dev; people who gave the game a fair shake were pleasantly surprised. Especially the mechanic where your choices slowly change certain aspects of the game was really good, plus the creepy surrounding are good.

What a coincidence, I played this game again a week ago after a nostalgia frenzy. It's crazy how good and atmospheric it looked for Wii standards, still holds up. Still controls like a dream and even though you're rarely under a real threat, still fun - especially the puzzling -, eerie and intriguing as hell. Great forgotten classic

Shattered stinks and is much worse than the original game. lol at this guy trash talking a good SH game.

Shattered Memories is my first and only Silent Hill experience and I loved it. It's a shame that nothing else from the series has come to Nintendo consoles.

And props to the excellent use of the Wii Remote's speaker throughout, adding to the uneasy atmosphere of the game.

@Kiwi_Unlimited 100% If I had the ability to watch videos I'd go to youtube. I come to news sites to read. Game news, REAL news, whatever it is... videos are a no-go for me like 9 out of 10 times.

I think i have played shattered memories on Wii more than any other game. I adore it, the atmosphere is stunning, the story is deep and powerful and it has a very mature view on the psycho sexual nature of the plot. Absolutely love it, with the ram and GPU advances we don't get games like this, thoughtful innovative games just prettier same old same old.
In all honesty this is just behind silent hill 2 as one of my faves in the series.

@Sadist agree with everything you said here. i adore it. the atmosphere is absolutely stunning with a career best soundtrack from Akira

@YoshiF2 fragile dreams is a huanting beautiful game, but very janky at times. it also does really annoying things to artificially extend the games length. doesnt ruin it but it drags it from a potential 8 or 9 out of 10 to a 7 out of 10 for me.

There was literally nothing wrong with silent hill 3 😑😐 last great game in the series tbh

I have to say I feel SH3 was a better game overall.
Now, as a Re-imagining, Shattered Memories was pretty decent. Being on the Wii, the controls were, outside of a few times it didn't work right, were fantastic for a horror game.
But it has a lot of flaws as well, moreso than most of the early SH games IMHO. The package as a whole just didn't work for me personally.

@il1989 Silent Hill 4 was great.

I'd die for this to be on Switch. Loved it on PS2 and PSP.

@DTfeartheBEARD The ending is insane. It's my favorite Silent Hill after the second game.

@JustMonika I have Shattered Memories for Wii, so mabey it's different from the PS2 and PSP versions? Besides motion controls at least. Silent Hill 2 is my favorite followed by SH1 and SH3.

@DTfeartheBEARD 2, Shattered Memories and 3 are my top favorites 😁
