(Also for clarification I mean a Silent Hill by the actual creators of Silent Hill and not Homecoming.)
First off, you must think i'm stark raving mad, but hear me out. These are the events which brought me to this conclusion.
So today I found someone selling Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES and naturally I had a little freakout, problem is I didn't have enough money So I decided to sell an extra Wiimote I had lying about. So I brought the Wiimote upstairs with the little jacket on and I started thinking and it brought up a thought about a flash movie based on Brawl which involved bludgeoning someone over the head with a Wiimote wearing the jacket with rusty nails stuck to the top and I though about how it could be used as an emergency close combat weapon against zombies, Allthewhile I have an episode of Podtoid and Silent Hill came up and the thouht immediately came to me:
Silent Hill, notoriously known for having bad combat
Some Wii games are known for having bad unresponsive combat
And it just clicked in. Needless to say I spent the next 5 minutes running around my living room swinging the Wiimote about pretending I was James Sunderland killing the nightmare nurses, all while thinking how nice it would be to play a Silent Hill game in that perspective.
So that's my random thoughts. What are your thoughts on the matter? Would you enjoy a new game or ports, or do you think it's completely stupid, or are you calling the nuthouse on me? (No unintended offence to anyone who may be offended.)
Perhaps I should rephrase my thoughts, is the actual creators probably would have made the next installment on the Wii, much like Fatal Frame 4. Again these are just my random little thoughts.
Well here's a question: which would you prefer? A wii Silent Hill game by the actual team but with waggle, or Silent Hill: Homecoming on the PS3 and 360?
Nothing says horror like wildly flailing your arms at nothing. On second thought watching in slomo as your wiimote hurtles towards your $3000 TV might instill some horror.
It's settled, Wii should be the new home of Silent Hill.
@Colette: I agree with what you're saying, the possiblity is mildly interesting.
@DTOMEK: That would certainly mix with Silent hill's horror in being a 'mindfuck' rather than a jumpscare in that your brain would probably implode upon ralization of what happened.
I really don't care what system they put it on, but they need to make the next SH game like the first one. The first SH was the only actually scary one, though 3 was pretty close. 2 and 4 were too well-lit and bright to be scary at all.
Honestly, they need to take a hint from Megaman and just do the entire game using the same graphics engine from the PS1.

Nah.
What's sad is Fatal Frame IV visually looks just as good (if not better) than Silent Hill Homecoming.
I like the concept but the wii just sucks when it comes to stuff like that, also it would just be plain better on the PS3.

I love the movement idea. I want to say I won't see the graphics I want for the series on the Wii, but that may not be true. Might be fun.
I'll wait 'til I see Fatal Frame on the Wii. If that works, then bring on Silent Hill.

Im thinking Alone in the Dark
I don't want a wii, so I wish this not to happen.
I really don't care what system they put it on, but they need to make the next SH game like the first one. The first SH was the only actually scary one, though 3 was pretty close. 2 and 4 were too well-lit and bright to be scary at all.

The reason I want Silent Hill on the Wii is for Pyramid Head in SSB.
