Update: Apparently this is a PSN release of the original PSone game. Thanks, deftangel.
The BBFC’s rated the first Silent Hill, which probably means we’re not that far off an official announcement of Climax’s rumoured Wii-make.
No platforms or developer are listed on the ratings board’s site.
Climax is thought to be developing the game for both Wii and PSP.
Thanks, Kotaku.

I wouldnt mind a SH remake on PSP, or the original from the PSN Store for that matter, dont care about the Wii though, not unless its playable like a normal game.

Fraid not, it’s a PS1 re-release for PSN. The platforms thing is something we’ll fix if we don’t get binned

I still wish it was on the hi-defs. But I could be persuaded to try a Wii version if it wasn’t stupid.
One thing they absolutely must do is fix the controls. The first SH still used the old Resi-style tank controls, which are absolutely a deal-breaker for me these days.
Blerk said:
Oh wait, is that right, deft? Well… that’s nice in one way, because it’s the unfurtled-with original. But nasty in another, because of the aforementioned horrible controls.

I’ve updated that. Cheers.
Gekidami said:
Is there an actual source to it being just the PSN release?
Patrick Garratt said:
I’m checking with Konami now.

Got this back from Konami UK:
“Nothing I can say, sadly.”
Gekidami said:
Well it was was a remake it probaly wouldnt be discribed as a title orginally released in 1999 on the BBFC’s site.

I’m assuming deft’s not lying. I have faith in human nature.
deftangel said:
Not that I write that block of text but if it was a remake I’d like to think it would say so…
Gekidami said:
Going off the list of videos they rated is seems quite clear that they rated a final product set to release soon, thats pretty poor advertising for a remake, we would have heard or seen something long before.

There was NOWHERE where it says Climax was doing a Silent Hill remake, you were just making things up or reading too much into something not there.

That told you, Pat! Thwack!

Well, then I have no idea.
*tears up little bits of paper, throws them in the air*
Patrick Garratt said:
In my defense, I did say “apparently”.
*covers ass*
Blerk said:
Where’s the ‘UFO ending’ in that list of videos?
Patrick Garratt said:
Blindside – Climax is making a Wii remake of Silent Hill 1. I’m prepared to bet money with you on that. Real money. For keeps.
Gekidami said:
Where does it say on their site that they’re working on 2 Konami games Pat? I cant seem to find it.
deftangel said:
I think Pat has a little insider info
Games companies sometimes work on things that aren’t announced. News at 11!

There…
Gekidami said:
Lol oh yeah, i went straight on to ‘games’ and ‘news’ expecting it to be there.
It could be Silent Hill… Or it could be Sparkster/Rocket Knight, now that would be cool.
Gekidami said:
Just a quick question; Why is that the original PS1 1999 version isnt on the BBFC site? Search for Silent Hill and you come across every game apart from that one…
Blerk said:
It wasn’t rated by the BBFC. Must’ve been in the days before they cared about that kind of thing.
DaMan said:
no not Climax. NOOOOOOOOO
Gekidami said:
Yet older games are on their site like RE in 97, is there more then one classification organisation in the UK?
Gekidami said:
Yep, Silent Hill was just released on the PSN, pretty obvious.
