Silent Hill Shattered Memories’s Colorful Cast Arrives December 8
Konami’s latest entry in the Silent Hill franchise, Shattered Memories, is on its way to the Nintendo Wii on December 8. PSP and PlayStation 2 versions of Harry Mason’s quest to find his daughter Cheryl are promised shortly after. In the meantime, we have the skinny on the game’s cast.
If you recall the original Silent Hill, Shattered memories begins very similarly. Harry Mason gets in a car wreck, losing track of his young daughter Cheryl in the process. He proceeds to wander the snowy streets and encounters a handful of the town’s colorful residents.
Policewoman Cybil makes a return, this time far more skeptical of Harry and his episodes in Silent Hill. Harry also meets Michelle, a sultry attendee of a high school reunion who’s having boyfriend issues. Then we have Dahlia, a non-conformant fire cracker who seems to know Harry a little too well. Dahlia doesn’t exactly sound like the crazy old woman with the same name from the first game. Overworked nurse Lisa makes an appearance too, sparking protective characteristics in Harry despite her world-weariness.
Finally there’ s Dr. K. He’s the man who will be administering psychological evaluations to the player, facilitating the personality profiling feature of the game. His interactive tests are used to custom tailor a uniquely horrifying experience for the player.
What do you think about the changes made to the original cast? Anybody beginning to wonder how different the story will be overall compared to the original?
