So... Time to put on my troll face?

Any idea on the platform?  If this is another Playstation exclusive I just may start trolling MS

This is why I distrust Sega as a publisher.  Did they market this game?  Sure, but I don't recall seeing anything about it that actually seemed interesting. Now I'm hearing that it's actually pretty good!  They never really did anything that got people talking about the game, which should be the whole point of marketing!

Really, if you take a good look at Sega's failures in general, a lot of it really boils down to poor perception and their failure to properly manage public opinion, with a healthy side of second-guessing.  It's a shame because they have the ability to create very good products, and they often do.  It just seems like they never really know how to handle them!

How have I not heard of this before?  I should check out some of these books.  They sound pretty cool.

You just made me think of something.  There's something significant about the two most recent Konami titles that were released.  One has the word Steel in it, the other has the word Blades.

Blades of Steel anybody?

I didn't dig that deep into it honestly.  I saw SK was responsible for the remake, so I hung it on them.  That observation make sense though, and those sort of antics would suit anime or DMC games, but not a protagonist like Solid Snake.

On a side note, similar to Bayonetta, Atlus had  perfect timing on Catherine.  That game would have been burried under a slew of AAA titles if it was released later or earlier that year.

Honestly I'm ok with the rough start to the year.  I'm still backloged from November and December of last year.  I haven't even picked up Amalur yet, even though I fully plan on playing it.  There's no sense of picking it up when I've got so many other games to play, and I have no fear of the game going rare and shooting up in price.  I fully expect to be able to pick it up for new for 30 bucks or less in a couple of months. Same with Silent Hill's HD collection.  I will be grabbing that for sure!

Really?  I actually picked up the original PSX version about 6 months ago and played it again.  I thought it was fine. The controls feel a little dated, but it's not too rough.

You know what they did right on the Game Cube?  The original Resident Evil remake.  Those backgrouds looked so freaking nice.  Again, dated controls, but that's the nature of the game.  

God that Game Cube remake was hideous.  Silicon Knights clearly misunderstood the difference between badass and ninja.  I stopped playing after Snake did his kick flip off the helicopter's rocket.  

Silent Hill: Shattered memories on the other hand, was very well done.  I've said this already, but my wife swears video games can't scare her.  Someday I plan on using that game to prove her wrong.

Konami.  Yeah, I wonder what happened to them too.  They owned the 8bit era, especially in Japan.  They cranked out more quality content on the FDS and the Famicom than even Nintendo did.  They could just be struggling to adjust to the amount of work it takes to create a quality modern title.  

Also, on the topic of Silent Hill, I don't know if SH1 was actually exclusive.  My understanding is that Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the Wii is basically just a radical reworking of SH1.  Could they do that if it was exclusive to the PSone?  I do agree that an HD version of the original title wouldn't work, but I think Shattered Memories is a decent enough title, despite being rather short.
