LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

You know, if Shattered Memories fails as a Silent Hill, it could probably still be a good horror game. Even if high-minded things like decent pacing and the building of tension through silence and Silent Hill's subtle psychological elements and symbolism and all that shit miss Climax completely, unkillable stalker characters have always terrified me, and I thought just being able to murder everything in all the Silent Hills made the games significantly less scary. So I support the Clock Tower approach completely. It could be that which ends up saving Shattered Memories from absolute shittiness.

More of a little thing, too, but I think it looks really good, and I'm glad people other than Nintendo themselves are finally trying to make Wii games that don't look like something a Dreamcast threw up.

The chase scenes from the trailer look like they boil down to Quick Time Events.

Maybe what's upsetting me is that the trailer is a total plagiarism of every other trailer I've ever seen for a "psychological horror". Maybe the game is actually gonna be great! They got the aesthetics all wrong though. And why'd they redesign Dahlia as a trashy lady? Is that to make the game more modern?
