Oh, that's what I thought, haha that the "new" Silent Hill is the original remake. I haven't been following too closely, but I noticed they changed the character designs quite a bit, and I don't like them. I think Cybil's gone through two character drafts, not sure if she'll go through more.
The no combat thing kind of urks me a little, because I'm used to the original Silent Hill (it's my favorite), but I'm always up for personalization.
