P.T. – Playable Teaser or Pure Terror?

Samwise L Jackson or Fully 'Avin It Writes: If you own a PlayStation 4 and consider yourself to have balls of pure adamantium, then you might want to have a little look at a mysterious new addition to the demo section on the store. It is something called ‘P.T.’, which we believe stands for ‘Playable Teaser’. The concept is an interactive teaser trailer for a new game as opposed to mere footage. Going into it you won’t know what game it’s a ‘trailer’ for – the only information you get before playing it though is that it’s made by 7780s Studio.

I think silent hills is gonna blow us all away .

I can imagine a fair few amount of gamers asking for a pair of brown trousers before playing this game.

For some reason, I find it very difficult to play through the entire demo. Maybe it's the noise-cancelling headphones that allow me to every noise? It definitely has something to do with that ghoulish b*tch catching you off guard while you're back tracking and turning around. Every time it happens it leaves me on edge. I thought I had nerves of steel until I first played this demo. Damn Sony is good.

The teaser scared the bejesus out of me and that was only by watching people play.

I was thinking "Psychological Terror"...

Man! When I turned around, that chic scared the Sh*T out of me. Yes, I yelled like a b*tch and dropped my controller and all. LoL!!

You are not the only one, the black girl is damn near having a heart attack

Yeah I love horror games but damn.......damn.......I only finished because my girlfriend pressured me to and looked up the walk through for me. It took me 2 days and the second day took so long because I just stood in the hall way too freaked out to turn a corner.

I hit my head on the couch twice and u bet I dropped my controller a few times. I almost didn't finish a free demo and that's just sad. I've never played a game that makes u feel like u always have something behind u. Like in real life walking with the lights out.

This game does something to u. I haven't felt right since I've played it. I got a stomach ache thru the second half. I haven't slept well and ever noise my house makes I am extra aware of. A guy outside sneezed and I almost pissed myself. This game is like a bad dream and to somehow create that is flat out brilliant

Downloaded it last night but girlfriend wouldn't let me turn it on because I'd shown her a 10 second clip on YouTube as it was downloading. Think I'm going to have to send her to bed early tonight so I can stay up and play it on my own.

[TM333]

I just loaded this up last night. The visuals blew me away with how REAL everything looked!

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Anybody know is it true you get some additional content for Silent Hills when you finish this demo?

[jujubee88]

Thank you Kojima. Thank you.

I have no problem watching horror films and the like but when it comes to pure horror games such as outlast, amnesia etc. I just can't get through them, every little noise puts me on edge. I haven't given this PT a go yet but going by some of the comments on here I don't think i'll be able to get through it either.

[styferion]

apparently if you google 204863 you'll find that it's a gene model number of a plant species called Populus Trichocarpa, possibly the hidden meaning of P.T. Don't know what the connection with Silent Hills though.

Incredible atmosphere and tension in this demo. I found though that while trying to figure out the final puzzle in this demo, with lots of loops mind you, i obviously became used to the creepy sounds and the ghost Lisa becomes predictable, although she'd still give you a jump.
But that was just one small confined area. Imagine the final game with the same level of dread and fear spread out over a 10-12 hour game or whatever length it will be, unknowing what lies around the next corner or through the next door. May have to monitor the blood pressure while playing a game like that!

[CorndogBurglar]

I actually only had Lisa appear once, and it scared the $#!+ out of me. So it didn't become predictable at all for me.

[C1yn3r79]

As i said, i spent a bit of time trying to figure out the last puzzle so met Lisa a few times. During a haunting session when you hear the creepy sound and voices, sometimes you see Lisa rush toward you. I'm sure when this happens and you start to hear footsteps behind you, this is usually when she strikes if you turn around suddenly or something.

I hope they're able to get Akira Yamaoka back on board to do the soundtrack.
