Since I doubt we'll get the silent hills game developers should note what P.T did and follow in it's footsteps. The demo is a perfect example of how a horror game should be done.

WhiteGamerInc3287d ago

Who knows. E3 is right around the corner, we may have more light shed on the situation then

SpaceRanger3287d ago

Unfortunately with all that's been going on with Konami, its production has probably been halted. :/
I really hope it hasn't though.

I'm glad that I have this masterpiece of a horror teaser/game downloaded to my PS4. It shouldn't be affected by this hopefully.

@white

After all that positive reception received for PT no company in their right minds would announce anything on its potential hiatus or cancellation at the years biggest games expo.

Wait for silence and avoidance on the matter from Konami come E3 if the project is indeed on permafrost.

slinky1234563287d ago

Except for the fact that the last puzzle makes no sense, and it's still not exactly clear how/why it is done the way it is.

Ryan7413287d ago

Alien Isolation already answered that, its awesome.

UltraNova3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

Its on its way to my mailbox. Cant wait to put on my elite 800 headphones and play this puppy!

I've heard and read the best things about AI but Japanese horror games like Silent Hills are a different kind of beast than western horror...a very very disturbing kind of beast!

pwnsause_returns3286d ago

ALien isolation is completely different from what we were going to get here.

Pintheshadows3287d ago

Games involving Del Toro seem to be cursed.

Summons753286d ago

One is bad luck, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern. Hopefully his third try will be successful for the sake of him and all of us.

Gardenia3287d ago

But not how a Silent Hill should be. Anyone who played the first 3 Silent Hill games knows it's about psychological pain and nightmares, not jump scares in first person

fr0sty3286d ago (Edited 3286d ago )

There are only 2 "jump scares" in p.t. (dying and when she throws the windowpane over the balcony), and the trailer they released for silent hills didn't have any. After playing p.t., I think first person is the best for horror. Better immersion.

Actually they said they'll remove it at some point when they first released it (people assumed it would be a way shorter time). So it doesn't necessary have to do anything with current events, but it could of course

The final proof that core gamers rule nothing.

And in reading this sad statement and all the news within 4 months and some plus time I go to sleep wary wondering about my wallet and hobby.

Gamers have nothing to do with internal conflict within konami.

will this being delisted erase it from my console, or my "Library"?

Me-Time3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

Quick Answer -

"a7xgemini +
If you have downloaded it, you own it forever and can re-download as many times times as you want using the same PSN ID you got it from originally."

Boring Answer -

When Gran Turismo HD released with a dozen cars and a track as a teaser, it was later removed from the PSN store less than 12 months later. I downloaded it back when that initial demo was available, and I was able to re-download it using an alternate PS3 6 years after it was removed.

If Sony intend to erase P.T., it would be a ***k*n shame. It's a different story with Polyphony Digital and Kojima Studios. Even though H. Kojima has been with Sony just a couple of years shorter than K. Yamauchi, Kojima decided to go all multi-plat a decade ago (no fanboy-"ism", just messing). That would, or could, be the only explanation for neutering a teaser such as P.T.

I mean, holy hell, it was an amazing concept to... conceive. The reveal of Del Toro and Reedus with Kojima leading. Just like the first time watching Ifrit slam a meteoroid down toward those stupid venus flytrap-looking things. I felt INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Still, I don't think they'd be able to manage erasing it? I wouldn't know if it's possible to remove it off of systems. GT HD likely wasn't an exception, so I would like to say that it's safe to say it will continue to be downloadable using the original account.

hells_supernova3287d ago

It is Konami removing the demo....

kingPoS3287d ago

I still have the Gran Turismo hd, and MGS4 demo's, problem is, I have to drill down past over 2400 items from my download list to get to them. 😧>_<😩

GameSpawn3286d ago

@kingPoS

Agreed. I wish Sony would add a filter/search to the download list. Through the PSN website storefront my download list is over 40 pages and 1000 items (even worse when browsing on the Vita or PS3).

That said, I still have access to LOTS of the stuff I've bought, but apparently some things have been permanently delisted for some people (seems to be mostly PSOne titles).

I can understand PSOne titles being removed for compatibility issues, but if that was the case for them being permanently removed owners of said titles should receive some sort of compensation for no longer having any access to that specific content when the rest of the service is still running without issue.

uth113286d ago

They could potentially pull the license and it would stop working.

Not saying they are planning to do that in this case

Me-Time3286d ago (Edited 3286d ago )

That's probably what I was trying to get at in this circumstance with this unfortunate situation. It's two very different situations (after hearing Silent Hills won't come to fruition an hour ago).

Konami. What in the hell.

On a lighter note, rainbows!

Wait, actually, this...
"hells_supernova + 16h ago
It is Konami removing the demo...."

Konami "shared" Metal Gear with Sony at the beginning, so I misinterpreted it. With PD, they're a full-on first-party developer directed by K. Yamauchi.

I have to say, thanks for the post uth11.

The Complete Ranking of Silent Hill Games from Worst to Best

The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26182d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake182d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69181d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26181d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

Dataminer gets PT playable on a PlayStation 5 via hacked emulator

From Eurogamer: "Konami horror project P.T. has been made playable on a PlayStation 5, via a hacked PS4 emulator.

Streamer and dataminer Lance McDonald has managed to get the game working on a non-jailbroken PS5 console.

Essentially, a legitimate copy of P.T. is required as well as an active PSN account on both a jailbroken PS5 and a normal, fully updated PS5. The emulator is then transferred from one to the other."

Hopefully the October 19 Silent Hill announcement makes it so that I don’t need to fret with eBay and all of this emulator nonsense to enjoy a 10 minutes demo for Halloween….

How does Konami not appreciate how much they spite their face when they tarnish Kojima’a legacy?

MrBaskerville555d ago

While we'll surely get several SH projects in the coming years, expecting anything related to P.T. is setting yourself up for dissapointment. Sadly.

MIDGETonSTILTS17555d ago

Yeah I get the sense that Kojima might’ve literally shat on his boss’ desk before leaving

Relientk77573d ago

Still one of the scariest gaming experiences I've ever played, and it was only a demo. Might even be the scariest.

SullysCigar573d ago

I can't seem to part with my old PS4 because this is installed! It's freaky as hell, even now.

EvertonFC572d ago

Worth some money online with PT installed

Gamingsince1981572d ago

@evertonfc

Thats a bit strange considering you can download it from torrent sites and install on a ps4 , its pretty easy to get the demo.

CaptainHenry916572d ago (Edited 572d ago )

Visage copied this demo big time

Neonridr572d ago (Edited 572d ago )

Visage was a great game though. Got a little weak towards the last chapter, but the first 2 chapters were particularly amazing. I'm glad we got at least one game that utilized the potential of the PT Demo.

Venoxn4g572d ago

I heard that Madison game was great too.. plus hopefully we will still see the release of Allison Road.

mark_loprototype572d ago

Oh, absolutely. Many supernatural indie horror games that released in the past 7 years wouldn't exist without P.T.

I even question if you'd have games like Phasmophobia, as P.T. kind of let devs know that the broader gaming community was receptive to slow-paced, atmospheric horror and enjoyed sharing that experience (for P.T., it was over YouTube/Twitch).

gold_drake572d ago

this game.. damn.
i shit my briefs when i played it haha. but its sooo good. or was.

Elda572d ago

A great game demo. The demo didn't scare me while playing but it definitely had a creep factor. The part I thought was somewhat creepy was the radio broadcaster reports of the murders that took place in the house.
