Game scared the living hell out of me and believe me when I say this, I am not that easy to get scared lol

Elda3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

Opposite for me,I'm not easy to scare & P.T. didn't scare me but I found it very interesting.Edit:I can't believe I'm getting disagrees because P.T. didn't scare me but scared the ones disagreeing...LMAO!

BigBosss3531d ago

wasn't scary! What? You serious! Scariest game yet!

amiga-man3531d ago

Well it is an almost unique experience, a free to play game trailer that can have the player literally too scared to turn around, I Love Horror and this was just brilliantly done.

vishmarx3531d ago

ive got balls of steel and i can admit i was nervous throughout and had a few jump scares.
also kojima is talking about the pt demo ,not the game itself

NatureOfLogic_3531d ago

I believe you, but I don't think you went into it unprepared at night in the dark with no lights and high quality headphones like most did when It was first revealed. I didn't know anything about the game before playing(before the hype) and the game increased my heart rate at times.

MWH3531d ago

How dare you go against the sream? Edit your comment and say you are scared shitless you hear? /s

opoikl3531d ago

@ elda

Ever since P.T. landed on the store, I've seen you in each and every article stating that you didn't get scared by the demo. Do you really need this much affirmation that you're a tough cookie? It reminds me of that one kid that sits in a rollercoaster like a boss - cross-armed and silent as a monk- while the other kids are having the time of their lives, screaming in excitement and enjoying the tingly feeling in their stomachs.

I knew this would be a unique experience coming from Kojima, so I actually feel sorry you didn't get to experience this little work of genius in the way it was intended to.

Elda3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

@Opoickl...are you N4G's watchdog,moderator & Mayor?? I've been in several PT articles not everyone of them nor am I dissing the game I happened to like it & I have the right to disagree that it was scary,who are you to TRY & put me down because I feel this way.I'm grown & can say whatever I want when I want & why are you all in my bones?

hkgamer3531d ago

lol. how dare you say something bad about a groundbreaking ps4 exclusive teaser. disagree disagree disagree!!!!!

well, i guess some people just dont understand that some people dont get scared or they just dont believe you for some reason.

bouzebbal3531d ago

you have to admit this game has a very disturbing atmosphere and i dont think anyone can disagree with this fact.

HiTMaNHuntr3531d ago

I wish I was like you guys, not easily scared. I'm such a weakling when's it's comes to horror stuff lol. But I still attempted to play P.T. I was unsuccessful. :(

mogwaii3531d ago

Its because you dont know good smart horror when you experience it....and that frankly is sad :(

XB1_PS43531d ago

I disagree with you because I think you either, didn't play it, or are lying.

kparks3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

I agree im pretty big into horror and stuff, the only time i jumped was when the window fell other than that nothing, i was never really scared i would say i was intrigued with the experience. i really enjoyed the teaser and i found it very interesting i have high hopes for this game cant wait to play it!

_FantasmA_3531d ago

You can't say that you're brave and don't scare easily at N4G. You will get downvoted. You have to say this was the scariest game ever or else...

Heavenly King3531d ago

I am with you, I did not get scared either. On the other hand my brother was very scared XD.

system223531d ago

n4g strikes again. you can say a simple fact like the sky is blue and get disagrees. i'm convinced at least 1 person follows me around and disagrees with every comment i make for no reason.

regardless - PT gave me chills and I can honestly say a video game has never done that to me before. Bummer you didn't find it scary but it seems at least you found something good about it. Interesting way to reveal a game though for sure, yea?

Ares84HU3531d ago

@ elda

No one believes you. I'm sorry, but that demo is scary. Outlast wasn't scary compared to this. If this didn't scare you than you are not human and don't have any emotion in you.

No one will think that you are cool because you go on a forum and tell people that the scariest game made in the last few years didn't scare you at all.

GameSpawn3531d ago

I'm with elda on this one. I played P.T. and was more overrun with frustration getting the triggers for the final section than being frightened. Call me desensitized, but after numerous Resident Evils (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, CVX, OB, OBF2), Silent Hills (1, 2, 3, 4), Siren (PS2 version; truly f'ed up - this may have set the bar for me), Clocktower, and numerous others games like this raise the hair on the back of my neck from suspense, but never freak me out.

The game was definitely hair raising, but nothing caused me to freak the hell out. What is funny is that the "thrill" and "horror" of the P.T. demo/teaser didn't come with a whole ton of gore.

Horror doesn't need to be the gore-porn that movies like Saw and Hostel have made standard for the genre (movies or games). Frankly, overuse of gore for "horror" effect is even more of a turn off for me and I loose all respect and interest. I enjoy "suspenseful" horror -- the type of horror that keeps hinting the danger at every single corner, but NEVER ruins it by fully revealing the cause of all the terror. Hitchcock was a master of this type of suspense and many good horror films until the dawn of the gore-porn take over were chalk full of this.

I think P.T. is a perfect example of suspense horror in a game. The old Resident Evils had to rely on suspense due to limitations of the medium -- the first Silent Hill too. And while Silent Hill does occasionally have its gory moments it is always second to the suspense and never a main selling point.

Anarki3531d ago

I watched the Pewdiepie video of this game, it looked intense and even had me on the edge just watching a video. I would love to pick this up but i'm too much of a pussy lol

Elda3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

@NaughtyDogs...I am serious..lol!.the teaser is very interesting & I've never played a SH game before.Knowing that this teaser has nothing to do with the final product hopefully they keep the mysterious creep factor atmosphere intact if so I may be interested in buying SH for the first time.I played the teaser last week at 4am & I live alone.I was a lil startled when Lisa killed me but I laughed & through the entire game I was amazed at the graphics & the atmosphere of the game.Couldn't believe in some forums about PT people were screaming or had to turn it off because they were just too scared to finish playing.Horror movies & games that have been made in the past 20 years just don't scare me.

PLASTICA-MAN3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

"I've never played a SH game before."

That explains all. (I showed scary (retarded) pranks to my cousine who does get scared for nothing even the most futile things and she just got scared from those pranks only, while when I showed Amnesia and P.T to her with all the scarejumps and co and she didn't get scared AT ALL). Another friend who never played any Silent Hill game, watched wlakthroughs of it to finish playing it and he didn't like it too (very explanatory). If from the start you aren't interested in what you play (or do), you won't delve into it and then you won't be part of it and focused inside it, so the scare will be minimal when anything happens, if not non existent. Maybe Silent Hill is not your thing if you never tried it before and have prejudices about it. You should pass if Silent Hill makes you laugh (mocking the entire purpose of the game). I am not blaming you, but you should not ruin sth you are not intersted in.

Elda3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

@Plastica-Man..I played all RE games & they didn't scare me doesn't mean I didn't enjoy playing them because I did.You may have a point about SH knowing I never played them before because they looked uninteresting to me.PT really has my interest & I really like the teaser & it's creepy atmosphere.I'm not at all bashing the game especially with the creators behind this new SH.Maybe because I'm from the old school,I just wasn't scared which still was a good thing knowing I enjoyed playing.It seems if you don't follow everybody else on this site then you're looked down upon which I could care less...LOL!

Akarogg 3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

You're different from the norm I'll give you that. Not having been scared by any horror movie/game in the last 20 years? Certainly unnatural, no wonder many people find it hard to believe.

MuhammadJA3531d ago

What scare? Oh yeah, JUMP SCARES like every horror game out there. Want a truly horrifying experience, go read or watch some creepypasta theories.

fr0sty3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

There's like 3-4 jumpscares in the entire demo. The real horror comes from not knowing what is coming, or when, or how... the constant threat that looms. When it reveals itself, it isn't always in the form of a "boo!" moment. Sometimes it is much more subtle, but equally creepy. as well as figuring out the story and the breaking of the fourth wall. You obviously never played it.

In fact, one of my biggest "creepy moments" came AFTER a jump scare (looking up and seeing her looking back down on me from the balcony with that creepy as grin, as she slowly steps away). I actually didn't even see that until I replayed the game with the brightness settings turned up.

Kidmyst3531d ago

I found it creepy but the trailer not to scary. But knowing how Silent Hills games are it'll get even better.

trancefreak3531d ago

For the most part the game was in a different reality which was twisted and cool, but let me tell me one part got me good not paying attention.

Games do not scare me this one did.

Crazyglues3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

Yeah I must admit, I never get scared... Never - and this game made me jump all over the place...

Loved it... True horror game, finally..

It was awesome, hope the final game is as good, and hope it looks as awesome as this one hall way did, I swear that adds to the horror, because it looks so real it makes everything that much more intense...

I would never get a game like this, but that demo was so good, I am actually going to buy this when it comes out..

Awesome Demo..

Oh and people without a PS4, go get one, what are you waiting for, Next Gen is here, and it's Awesome.. So many good games coming out in just October alone, this Holiday Season is it's about to be amazing.

-tell Santa don't forget you this year.

That told me nothing. "People want to play PT but don't have a PS4."

Okay.... yes.... is true.

fr0sty3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

PS3 version confirmed :P

Joking aside, the comment could just be in regards to the fact that PS4 is a relatively new system with a small install base compared to the entire pool of console gamers, most of which currently consists of previous gen console owners.

Sincere01213531d ago

Wish I had a ps4 to play this but cant justify buying it for just one game,
stickin with Wii u for now.

Agent_hitman3531d ago

Mr. Kojima please make a PC version too.. Just like the confirmed MGSV PC version.

vega2753531d ago

Would love to play this on my pc. Hope it is announced for other platforms too

retro_3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

Perhaps it's a hint that the full game isn't going to be a PS4 exclusive? I'm guessing MS are slapping wads of cash down on the table as I type and then a few more to make it an XB1 exclusive, now that would be scary!!

Any how, It scared the bejezuz out of me but I played it after midnight with the lights out wearing a TB headset!!

Sm00thNinja3531d ago (Edited 3531d ago )

Well to Add to this. Tho game is published by Konami I believe, possibly in conjunction with Sony? So it isn't outside the realm of possibility of not being exclusive. Sony isnt touting it as an exclusive either. If it were exclusive they'd be shouting it through the rooftops! If not an Xbone release my guess is a PC release? I'd bet multiplatform form though. Correct me if I'm wrong and it has been announced as an exclusive though. Getting it on PS4 regardless

20 Awesome Canceled Games You'll Never Get To Play

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218342d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai42d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel42d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor41d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

Canceled Video Game Sequels That Never Happened

Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.

shinoff218365d ago (Edited 65d ago )

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor65d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar65d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...

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.

Vits177d ago

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.

bfrye26177d 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_drake177d 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.

CrimsonWing69176d ago

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

bfrye26176d ago

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