akirasilent

Akira Yamaoka, the composer of Silent Hill’s trademark sounds, has left Konami after 16 years, says Aeropause.

The news comes from a “pretty reliable source” at Konami Japan.

Yamaoka composed the music for the entire Silent Hill series apart from Silent Hill: Play Novel for GBA and “Esperandote” in the first game, which was written by Rika Muranaka.

Thanks, Gekidami.

Screens for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories focus on the women [Release Update]

silenthill

Update: Konami has issued a press release stating that the Wii version of the game will be released on December 8, with the PS2 and PSP versions “following shortly” Hopefully, that means February. Press release is through the break.

Original: Konami has released some artwork and screens for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

Shots for the Climax “re-imagining” of the original show mainly the females in the game. One looks a bit like J-LO, and one looks like a gal you might see on the side of the road hitchhiking or at a truck stop.

No matter, there’s a policewoman there to balance things out.

See for yourself through the NeoGAF forums. Game’s out in February for Wii, PSP and PS2.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

BBFC rates first Silent Hill [Update]

silenthilla4

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.

Rumour: Climax working on Silent Hill remake for Wii

silenthilllogo

VG247 understands that UK developer Climax is working on a Wii remake of an the first Silent Hill.

Konami has declined to comment on the talk.

Few specifics are known as yet, but apparently motion control’s been included for torch functions.

The first Silent Hill, designed by Keiichiro Toyama, was released for PlayStation in 1999.

Climax is working on two Konami games, as shown on the firm’s website. The remake is the Wii and PSP project you can see there.

A 360 and PS3 game is also in the works for Konami, but this is an “original ground breaking next-gen game,” according to a Climax job posting.

Climax was unavailable for comment at the time of writing. You didn’t see us here, right?
