- Have you ever played a game that was really good, only to learn that it’s completely unique and no other game can scratch that itch for you? For me, Silent Hill Shattered memories is one of those games.

greetings Mrs Sphare how are you doing today?
Better then you lol

The Legendary Sphere Hunter has appeared

I really didn't think I was going to like SM, but after checking it out on the Wii, I fell in love with it. Genuine tears in my eyes at the ending!!!!
I gotta know: which ending did you get first?
Learn something lol
@@Cyraxior I'm guessing he means the twist reveal and not ending specifically. But if he was teary my guess would be good father ending.
When The king of retrospectives comments it's always a good thing haha
Cringe
I'm sorry for being a little off topic but Lisa's scene in the original Silent Hill is, in my opinion, the greatest horror scene in gaming. I know honorable people may differ, but nothing hits like that one for me.
Not a bad choice at all. And the song that plays once she realizes she's a monster...heart-wrenching to this day.
Omg the score for that scene is so emotional I have no idea how Akira yamaoka is so insanely skilled that he can make me feel such strong emotions with a score when most movies can’t even make me feel anything.
Sweet. I choose the Jennifer boss fight in Splatterhouse 1 for mine. My jaw dropped to the floor so hard for that one.
Your definitely right
Man, I played this game one year ago again. It feels like this game is kind of a "lost media" game. Can't explain it, but it feels so unreal that it exists and it feels unrealer if you play it. Dunno why
the edited in visible breath is a really nice touch
I feel like the psychology sections inspired Until Dawn's psychologist
The PSP version is more screwed up you play at night and use the headphones cranked up it still scarred my mind hearing noises that disturbing
Your comment about how your upbringing has the biggest impact on your experience with the game is so true. The ending i got effed me up so bad i literally booked an appt with a therapist for the first time lmao
This game is really a hidden gem. The atmosphere is amazing.
The way the game unfolds itself while playing is truly stirring.
I like how you put yourself in these cold places. Very fitting. Great job, Kai.
Shattered Memories was nothing like I expected, and while it was odd to see the characters in the roles they played, the story itself was a real gut wrencher, and it was such a cool premise that was executed well.
Now if I gotta say for a next retrospective, Silent Hill Origins is my favorite, Travis is literally just some dude that wanted to help out and got double PTSD for it lmao
i'd say this is the only proper non-team silent developed silent hill game
I don't know, i thought that Origins was okay, at least.
Origins, the room
Homecoming and Origins have their moments. But I agree; this is was the best outside of the OG development crew.
@@Saddonghussein wasnt the room was still by team silent?
@@ziqqerladthe room was the last game by team silent before they were disbanded
When I was a kid I was extremely stubborn when it came to selling my games. Today I am glad because I have nearly every game from my childhood including this one (PS2). I still play it every so often despite having done so many times. I think it's the perfect lenghth for an afternoon gaming session.
you're lucky, now this title on PS2 is like 300-600 bucks used! ridiculous!
same with 'Rule of Rose' or 'Haunting ground'.
Just replayed this. I'm crazy about it. The attention to detail is so insane. On this most recent playthrough I noticed the certain areas of indoor wooden floored rooms have multiple squeaking sounds programmed in. Like, you can walk to different parts of the room, and nothing, but then walk back to that specific area and you'll hear one of a bunch of those squeaks. It's such an immersive game.
It's one of my favorite wii games. For me I think the game's also technicially genius, the VHS tape effect and the frozen effect makes up for Wii's infamous 480p resolution and weak hardware so well but fits the game perfectly. It's the same like how SH2 fully captured PS2's hardware strength at the time. Thanks for making this video.
Also I love my daddy
Don’t even have a Wii anymore but I still have my copy of shattered memories.
*CHAMP* 🙏
Do you want to sell it 👀
Great game. I like how the enemies adapt to your personality. I wish there were more alterations than just humanoid looking ones , like dogs or bugs or monster deformed creatures.
Always loved Shattered Memories. It really is a unique experience
That part about Konami saying what they did doesn't surprise me at all.......like even now it feels like they'd still say it.
DO MORE RETROSPECTIVES! Great work, Kai!
Silent Hill 4 would be nice.
I used to have this on the Wii (and a Wii) back in the day. It's completely underrated and it has no right to be as good as it is. It profiles you as you play and it's one of the most stressful games I've played in a long time.
read the title and broke my neck clicking as fast as possible - Shattered Memories has so many mechanics that later games used and were REVERED for yet???
The stupid therapy sequences in Until Dawn? done much better in shattered memories even if you don't like Kaufman 😭
and not fighting monsters? this game was PANNED for that and then a few months later i had to watch people CHEER for Amnesia 😭
thanks for contributing to silent hill shattered memories getting the RESPEXT it deserves
Don't care
@@balabanasireti cared enough to reply xoxo 💋
A part of me still wishes that Konami did decide to give the green light for Cold Heart as it sounded like it could’ve been one of the most stressful Silent Hill titles with the survival mechanics but I’m glad with what we got in the end and is definitely unique especially on something that’s known for being kid friendly like the Wii.
I'm so glad you made a video about this game, i love Silent Hill and this is a game that a lot of people either never played or don't like, and i always thought it was an amazing one.
Another great thing about Shattered Memories is the OST, the last one that Akira Yamaoka composed for the series (until SH2 remake, at least), and as always, it's amazing!
Glad u have Silent Hill content once in a while. Playing this was a great experience, and such a surprise when it released
I'm actually not a big Silent Hill fan. My favorite of the series would be the Arcade lightgun shooter which I only ever got to play during a trip to Japan. However if I was to pick a game that we got here in the states. This would be the one. The wii controls and interactivity with the environment was so much fun, and the taking pictures of 'ghosts' reminded me a lot of my actual favorite survival horror franchise, Fatal Frame.
It's games like this that make me miss the Wii control era. Games like this and Metroid Prime 3 where such care was taken into how to use the wii remote to interact with the game was just so wonderful.
I love this game and have played through and watched my brother play it countless times. Such a fun unique entry for the series. Using the Wii remote as a phone and getting the creepy 'door's open' whispers were so cool. Great soundtrack as well. The attention to detail is still impressive. Rare blend of disturbing relaxing and melancholy beauty
Honestly never played this. But watched lottttsss of playthrough. So no first hand experience, I’ll say this seemed like a bold and neat idea for a silent hill 1 reimagining. Changes up a lot, but retains that silent hill charm and different sense, and leaves you wondering and sticks with you when that ending revelations hit.
Outerwilds immediately comes into mind when it comes to unique games
I have fond memories playing this game on the Wii when I was young, this game was actually my first Silent Hill game and there are a lot of things I didn't understood back then up until now. I'd be more than happy to play it again if there's a remastered version of it.
Glad you made this retrospective, I really love this game and wish more people could appreciate it for what it is. About emulating the PSP version I remember I had some issues with shadows and reflections not displaying properly so I had to go a different route in the game in order to avoid certain puzzles.
Amazing video!!! As a huge Resi Evil fan I love your content for a long time but this was a very positive surprise to see :) I also love Silent Hill series,so pleeeeaaaseeee do more Silent Hill videos if you can :)
Este fue el primer SH que jugué. No entendía nada, era muy pequeño y sin saber nada de nada del Lore de la saga.
Fue una gran experiencia y me gustaría revisitar este juego en algún momento.
Love your retrospective! Should do more of them. I'd love to see one on a game called The Thing. I adored that game. Keep up the good work
I own shattered memories on PSP and PS2 ... I bought the PSP version because the PS2 version had a bad font or something ... I could not read the words .... I wanted to own silent hill origins on both PSP and PS2 but I waited to long so I only own it on the PS2.
Awesome video. I’d like to see more in this style. Thanks Kai.
My friend lent me this game for the Wii last year. I enjoyed this retelling of SH1 so much. The interactions and the atmosphere really sold me. Only played through it once and missed my chance for the different endings and choices I could have done. Great video Kai, thanks for the shattered memory of this game that I need to play again!
Yeah I absolutely love this game I just wish it got more of a chance!
I remember during the cutscene in the movie theater, while I was sitting alone in the dark of course, it felt like something reached in me and squeezed my stomach ever so slightly but very real feeling. But Shattered Memories, if you're truthful throughout the whole game, is such a great experience. I feel it's very slept on and if you give it an honest shot, it will reward you in kind. Also! The UFO ending is utterly hilarious and worth a watch too, even if you just wanna do your one and done run to get 'your' experience, at least look up the UFO ending after you're done!!
This was the first Silent hill I had the guts to play on PS2. I was younger and easily scared so never finished it. I wish I could forget the ending so I can experience the twist while playing but wishing memory loss on oneself isn't the go to for a healthy life imo. Great video!
Played this game when I bought my PSP. Owned a copy but no longer do.
I adored this game and felt it was fantastic from beginning to end. I played through it enough times to get all of the endings, which I remember there being a lot. I agree that there's never really been anything like it and I wish more games would play the way it did.
First thing, I love this game and I think it is underrated; second, I do agree that Silent Hill 1 should be the one remade; finally, since you are checking Wii games, I recommend you to play Alone in the Dark, but specifically the Wii version, the controls made it an interesting gaming experience.
The flailing got me!! 🤣🤣 I love you man!
i ABSOLUTELY loved this game in the wii era. It was a mindblowing finale and a great puzzle dark game
Great video. I never played this game but I heard about it and it goes for over $500 which is crazy. It’d be cool if you did this more often as a series. Tomb, raider, metal, gear, solid, or any other games you enjoy.
I have owned this game on Wii for like a decade and never once played more than 15 minutes or so. I guess I need to go play it properly.
Please do more of these! Loved it :)
Ink Ribbon is one of my favorite CZcamsrs his videos are so calming and informative.
Kai you need to make more silent hill content i love this video
I remember buying this game along with my Nintendo wii still have it on my game shelf 😊
Would love to see you do more retrospectives.This was great and made me think again about the game since i originally wrote it off as just a wii game.
Honestly, Bloober team doing the remake of Silent Hill 2 is a good choice if you like Shattered Memories. The first game that comes to mind for me as comparable to Shattered Memories is Observer. Shattered Memories was what I would consider one of the first walking simulators and I believe very strongly the Bloober Team took notes from it. When looking at Observer and Shattered Memories, they're both about fathers tracking down their children, they both portion off the "horror" parts into clear cut and dedicated sections (and in both, these are the weak points of the game), they both put huge weight into environmental storytelling, you could even compare the many optional phonecalls you make in shattered memories to the many optional door intercoms you can have conversations with in observer, but above all else the immersion and interactivity and exploratory spirit are quite similar between both games. Both Shattered Memories and Observer are games I have played countless times, and I highly recommend either game to fans of the other.
Actualy Until Dawn resembles a lot this game. One kind of the creatures in it looks like one of these silent hill monsters. Plus there's a psychologist that we see between each chapter who asks us questions and gives us tests, a few things changes depending on our answers. And guess his name ... It's Dr Hill. I don't think that's a coincidence. It's the closest to Shattered Memories among the games I played.
great video! i've always been fascinated by this game
I'm a hardcore Silent Hill fan, but I love Shattered Memories. I have the good grace to know that Downpour is our true enemy.
this was my first silent hill game before the other games, which I can't deny is much more scarier and thrilling, so scary I wasn't able to finish them. Anyways, I remember this game being one of my first game in my PSP and for that time there are very little amount of huge games and this one is huge at that time. The graphics are great almost felt realistic, the story was interesting and the hidden stories surrounding the silent hill as you play through it like the side story about the murder in the woods and the school scandals, I love how interactive the dialogues are, the puzzles are also fun. However, my main complaint of this game is the chase sequences which are at first scary but through out the game becomes annoying especially the school part. All in all the replayability to unlock all scenes are special for me. 9/10 would prolly play again after seeing this video.
This Silent Hill is my all time favorite S.H game and it was ahead of it's time.❤
This game was my first introduction to Silent Hill Series when I was a kid. I was made aware of this game through my cousin's PS2.
First time I played SM was in 2009 on the ps2. I loved it and it was one of the best SH game in my opinion. Back then i did not use the internet that often and i wasnt aware that people hated it. I'm happy to see that my opinion is shared by others too. This gane is good as a horror game 🩵🩵🩵
Shattered Memories is honestly one of my favorite silent hill games.
Despite not having combat, (usually i avoid horror games without combat) but Shattered Memories have such a great gimmick and story that makes me want to go for more.
And its the first and only silent hill game i beaten. :p
That RE soundtrack on the Wii example was epic!
This game made me absolutely love the Wii. Even if I didn't have a ton of games for it, interacting with everything was just so damn cool. After you realize the creatures only show up in the running sections the tension factor drops a lot, but I was still uneasy due to all the creepy things you find while exploring. It did a lot of things extremely well for being on the Wii. I'd say it even stood up against early 360 titles for how well it looked. The shadows, snow, and all around detail in every area was just wonderful. Granted this is me taking into consideration that it's playing on the Wii, but I still think it's impressive.
Also I think with the twist at the ending it works so well because of holding the wiimote to look at the reveal. It puts you right there in the middle of it and I feel like it hits just a bit different because of it. I don't consider it canon but as a story told from one of the original games endings, it's great. If you love point and click adventure games with puzzles and creepy atmosphere it does that very very well.
Take the fight out of fight or flight and all you’re left with is a limp disappointment.
Taken as its own experience, I do honestly think Shattered Memories is a spectacular game with an interesting story and a wild take on the Silent Hill concept. I think it’s probably the best of the games outside the original 4 by Team Silent, and it did take some wild swings that didn’t pay off but like. It genuinely felt like it had ideas and inspiration the whole way through.
It may not have been perfect but it was definitely doing something very right.
16:58 Oh, I can tell you exactly why. It's Pyramid Head. Everyone loves Pyramid Head. That's really the only reason why 2 is getting a remake instead of the 1st game. I agree. I prefer the 1st game over the 2nd.
Pyramid Head probably is the most iconic image from the series and is why either Pyramid Head or something similar keeps being put in essentially every game since 2. I get why they're remaking the second game but I think most people would agree the original doesn't hold up near as well as 2 and far more could stand to be remade. With the remake I'm mostly just wondering if they're going to keep in the final boss dying nearly instantly if you enter the final fight with no ammo.
@@jcohasset23 Pyramid Head definitely is no objection there. Thing is, Pyramid Head is a Jim Sunderland thing so it makes no sense why Pyramid Head appears in Downpour, Homecoming, etc. That's like saying if my guilt fear demon manifestation is a dog covered in moving eyeballs is also yours. That makes no sense because you have your own guilt to face so your will look different than mine. The 1st game is very straightforward + I like Harry Mason more as a protagonist than the others we've seen. Good point, I'm curious about the ending fight as well for the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Will it be changed? I have a feeling it will be.
I played this in my PS2 when I was still a kid, and I love every mechanics in this game
The PCSX2 wiki states that those issues have already been fixed, I've seen people still using 1.6.0 which is very outdated, so make sure you're using the nightly version
Oh I found it at a store.I bought it.And 400 dollars later it still sits on the shelf unplayed.But hey,completed my Silent Hill collection.
I love this game! Seriously, it came out at a dark time in my life and something about it just kept me focused when so much else in the world didn't. It's short. It's sweet. But it's a gem that will live for a long time in my memory. I give you tremendous props for giving a shoutout to Shattered Memories.
That Dahlia Gillespie part killed me xD
Was not expecting to come on here and find Silent Hill content, my day is made! :D
I loved this video format!! The restorative was great, I sure enjoy this game on PS2, a friend of mine brought it home and we ended that same nigth, of course he let me make the Kaufman part, year later I buy myself a will and a copy of this amazing game and played it whit my girlfriend... Which was pretty funny.
I'd love to se more of this kind of videos, specially if you takle the Parasite Eve saga (2 is my favorite) or the Project Zero/Fatal Frame saga (2 is also my favorite... I started to see a pattern here...) so, keep up the good work!! And thaks for this amazing videos
One game that is similar - Until Dawn on PS4. Also has psychologist who gives you test that affects the outcome of the game, collecting mementos and many alternate paths and endings.
I really enjoyed this video, well done! Maybe a retrospective on more obscure games? ^^
How fortuity I just cleared it for the first time on a wii yersterday!... oh and you better believe it resonated with me on a personal level. I was looking for its OST and saw your thumbnail. It's so amazing to go into something with no particular expectations and find yourself immensely surprised! One can only imagine the catalog we would have had (especially in the horror genre) if given the devs more time to tickle with the wii's technology back then.
An absolutely beautiful hidden gem
I am so here for this SM adoration era!! I played this on the PSP and it was simply amazing! I am so glad people are noticing it now 💙❄
How you experience the games is different when you play after you become a father. Trust me
I played this game on my PSP when I was still on college. I sill have my copy and will never let go.
For me this is the only proper Silent Hill game thar was not made by Team Silent. This game will be more perfecr if they only continue tge Cold Heart game idea.
Anyway I'm so happy that people are starting to give credits on this game
Love this game, I play it on Wii every Christmas. Bought it opening day and the cashier said "I thought the Wii only made baby games"
Retrospective'd like a pro, loved it!
I remember playing this on PSP back when I was definitely way too young to understand it, but I liked it, especially the exploration is totally the highlight, psychological profiling is really special aswell, there's no games do stuff like that at the time, and I did get the abstract monster form in my playthrough playing naturally, and I like the music too, it makes me want to go for a walk at night while listening to it.
Oh no, I don’t want to read Ink Ribbon to filth for this.
Fantastic video, never new all that about this game
Silent Hill is in my opinion one of the biggest an greatest Horror franchises ever.
But somtimes i have the feeling that the most people only care for SH2...
Since i heard that the guys who do the Remake of SH2 were actually ready for a SH1 remake, but Konami said that they should do SH2 instead. Yeah, SH2 is truly a cashcow.
Agreed. Loved it when it first came out, and still do. SH1,2,3,4 are my favs by far... but I have played and cleared SHSM way more than any other SH game. A totally underrated and unique gem and I still have my Wii and Wii U. Much better on the Wii than PS2/PSP by far.... but... I also play the PS2 version emulated on my Steam Deck, and I play the Wii version in 4K emulated on my PC with the Wii remote. Great game.
Beautiful said and narrated
I enjoyed this. I didn't get to play Shattered Memories but it looks like something I would've loved, that first idea about it being survival type game sounds awesome and it's a pity neither Res or SH ever did one like it. Another (although not so much a psycological horror) seriously underrated game is The Suffering. I'd like to see more videos like this Kai, theres some real hidden gems of the ps2- ps3 era that don't get the love they deserve.
I played this game only once when it came out, but I have strong memories of it; I liked it very much.
This has one of the best soundtracks of the series and in gaming.
I got the soundtrack for this game recently. Thoroughly enjoyed it. ^^
I had recently beaten this game last week after years of ignoring it because of what majority have people had said about it. I ended up loving it a lot and it's easily my favourite none team silent game
Yes! One of my favorites games and yes there is nothing like it, love the atmosphere the soundtrack it is just beautiful I played it as a kid and I was terribly scared of it but it was so misterious and yet so scary (it was my first horror game) that I couldn't put it down until I finish, I wasn't expecting that ending at all.
Another five star video! Please make more retro content like this, e.g. other Silent Hill titles and the Fatal Frame series. 🥰
I never enjoyed the willy waggling gymnastics of the wii. I prefer to come in from work, collapse on the sofa with a beer. That said the workaround for this was to play on my PSP. The PSP is still really good for certain games like the PS1 era, Resi, Silent hill & Final Fantasy. Up until recently when I dropped my go and bricked it I still used it regularly.
Awesome Video! cant wait for more like this 👌
Its a very underrated game but its very special. Sad story great music. The atmosphere is also very very good.
I have it for Wii but only played it once. You inspired me to give it another go!
Dude, those "sound effects" you used during your phone skit. if you know, you know. thanks for making me feel so old 😂😂😂
They turned Dalia into goth Max Caufield from Life is Strang
I have it for the psp and I still love this game, I miss playing it
Do one on Koudelka/Shadow Hearts! A weird horror/RPG mashup that is surprisingly stellar for a smaller developer.
I recently finally got around to giving it a go and yeah, no regrets, I really enjoyed it! I liked this take on the original, it was different enough so that I did not know what to expect next. For the record, I played and completed it using PlayStation 2 emulator and did not encounter any of the issues you mention or demonstrated. I was even able to boost the resolution, and it all resulted in a very smooth and playable version. I had gone in with lower expectations due to things I heard from others, but again I really enjoyed my time with it.
