The problem I have with that, is the good thing about a normal, or real Silent Hill game is ammo management.

I disagree. I always thought combat (and ammo management) in SH was secondary to everything else. I ran from the enemies most of the time (except the bosses, of course). "Conserving ammo" never added tension or scares-- I always felt that was more of a Resident Evil thing. In SH, it's all about atmosphere. Shattered Dreams is taking on the tradition, but bringing something new to a series that was getting pretty stale. Things looks good now, but we'll see how the completed product ends up.
