God hates me: Silent Hill 1 gets a remake and it's on the Wii.

Horror games with an emphasis on fleeing are fine. Hell, I'm playing Haunting Ground right now and that game is great. But making combat too risky to be feasible is one thing, removing it completely is another.

The fact that ONE CONTEXTUAL BUTTON THAT DOES IT ALL is being touted as a feature kinda suggests what this game is going to be like, just in case you thought they might make up for a lack of combat by making the flee mechanic extremely deep or something.

Now excuse me, I'm going to go back to playing a big-breasted blond trying not to get raped by hulking retards with the Innsmouth look

What also bothers me is that they seem to be updating the timeframe. Part of SH1's appeal was that it was very obviously set in the early 80s (SH3 confirms this) and it looks like they're making it more modern-looking. Dumb.

So, let me get this straight: They port a game onto a system where aiming is much more workable......so they take out shooting.

Konami is run by a bunch of ~~lunatics~~ assholes.

Oh, you know, I played a game based on Alien back on the commodore 64.
It largely consisted of waiting for the alien to eat enough crew members that you could fit everybody who wasn't lunch on the escape pod, then blowing up the ship and hoping the alien didn't hitch a ride. Not what I'd call blockbuster material.

Also for PS2 and PSP. A PS2 console is looking more desirable now with this news and it's recent price drop. :)

Oh god. I hope to Christ the PS2 port is better than the one for SH0.

Fight or flight has just been whittled down to just 'flight'. I fucking love the Casual Age of Gaming.

Could be awesome, the best part of Call of Ctluthtuhohfuckyou:( is the hotel chase in the beginning. Big part about scary is being vulnerable, I like the idea, monsters are just that more convincing if you can't slice them to bits with ease, they are after you, run!

but wii looks like a console of choice for survival horror adventure games.
Both REmake & RE0 are being ported over from cube, fatal frame 4 was SUPPOSE to release outside of Japan(fuck you nintendo) and now this reimagining (new interview @ (http://wii.ign.com/articles/971/971319p1.html)), and if that wasn't enough they just announced a new game too in the genre for wii (http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=13857)

For comparison, 360 got nothin and ps3 only siren :(

And PC got them all, except new Siren.
Partly natively, partly via emulators :)

I've said it before but Penumbra: black plague doesn't have fighting and it's the best HORROR game i've played.
