How Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Redefined Horror Gaming 15 Years Ago!
The success of the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2 demonstrates the enduring significance of the original era of the series in the survival horror genre. However, it’s not the first time Konami tried to reimagine that period. Back in the past, they released a game called Shattered Memories, which was designed as a soft reboot and a return to the roots of the original game. This shift resulted in a significant departure from the core mechanics of the IP. Unfortunately, due to the lukewarm response to this new direction, the franchise took a break soon after. If they had built on the strengths of Shattered Memories a decade ago, Silent Hill could have experienced a renaissance.
