Kojima Reveals The Hidden Message In P.T. That Fans Couldn't Find

NowGamer: "The Silent Hills teaser is packed with mysteries that fans are still having trouble wrapping their petrified little heads around, but at least there's one enigma that has been cleared up."

[vishmarx]

on a side note, did anyone else squeal at that moment in the tumbnail?

[Acquiescence]

I never encountered it during my playthrough. And boy am I glad I didn't.

[Neixus]

You probably did, but didn't look close enough.

Remember when the glass / window falls down? That's when you look up on the balcony

[Ultraplayerxp]

Yeah, and I am SO glad I didn't look up.

[mogwaii]

Neither did i but its one of the most freaky of all the images ive seen of the game.

[medman]

@acquiescence
I can only hope Silent Hills is packed with terror and true scares...it's been awhile since I've played some truly fantastic horror.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Read that at least FIVE times !

[LOL_WUT]

Man when the radio hints to look behind you that was a terryfying ;)

[Reefskye]

I didn't see it first time I played it, when I restarted game with new save I looked up each time I went round to see if she was there.

[ThanatosDMC]

Yeah, never saw it in mine either. Dont know how to it to appear there.

[nosferatuzodd]

damn i mist this I'm going to play this again

[Azmatik]

I actually found this, I heard someone walking upstairs I followed the footsteps, looked up, and that's how I beat the game.

[wheatley]

When did this happen? It completely passed me by...

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

[SPOILER] (does demos need spoiler tags? oh well...)

It's pretty early on the loops... There's a moment you hear (or even see if facing the right direction) a piece of glass shatter on the main hall (by the door that supposedly leads out). If you go to the hall and look up, the ghost is there for a moment.

[/SPOILER]

The thing is, that corner is so dark that many look up and she goes away before they can even notice she's there. You could turn up the gamma or brightness on the TV to see better, but that would ruin the mood of the rest of P.T.

Well ballanced (dark) image settings on your TV, along with a good headset, are what really make this game scary and tense. Playing alone in the dark just adds iceing on the terrifying cake.

[cr33ping_death]

I completely missed her. I looked up after the falling glass but i didn't see her. My gf saw her. Im surprised she didn't scream like the time the ghost got her :)

[harrisk954]

Crap... missed it in the game, but that thumbnail made me jump! I probably would have crapped my pants at that point -- came close a few times!

[uth11]

I didn't squeal right at that moment, but after staring at the figure for a couple of seconds, she backs up into the darkness. My reaction then was "oh shit, she could be coming downstairs to get me!" :)

[garos82]

i didn't come across crazy b**ch in my playthrough on the balcony but i did see someone else on their Let's Play. It gave me a crazy jump.

Come to think about it i think i ran soon as the glass shattered like the chicken foetus that i am!

[DanteVFenris666]

Me too the glass shattered I'm like oh shit, doors open keep on walking don't look. Pretend it didn't happen

[aLucidMind]

EDIT: [Whoops, posted on the wrong story]

[TomahawkX]

ok thanks for the week old news

[RebelWAC]

Hey man! Players like me that doesn't use the Internet to solve things exists! but in this case I'm too much of a p***y.

I officially gave up after finding three pieces of a picture and accidently peeked into the bathroom trying to open the door... And yeah I found out that I scream like a girl.

[Orbilator]

Yeah lmao me too haha

[TomahawkX]

this article talks about the hidden meaning behind the fake studio name 7780 which Kojima revealed during the live gamescom event with Keighley a week ago. The article even gets the facts wrong because 7780 isn't a postal code but the square meter area of the quiet hills region in Japan.

[Soldierone]

I don't understand why you got so many disagrees. Perhaps nobody pays attention to GamesCom because I remember him stating this there too lol

[TomahawkX]

I don't know either, I come to this site for the latest news but when I see crap articles like this with misleading titles I gotta say something. I clicked on the link thinking it was actually a secret in the game, so disappointed.

[Kivespussi]

Sooo many disagrees. But you're right. He already revealed it AND on top of it, it's not a postal code but like you said a square miles of the area.

Oh boy, "videogame journalism"

[nope222]

NOPE

[NicSage]

I could not finish the demo... I'm such a pussy.

[Orbilator]

The last time I felt like this playing a game was the first time in doom 3 were the monster came out of the tunnel.
Doom 3 had awesome audio which really over loaded your senses and so does p.t.

[bloodybutcher]

C'mon, give it a try again. I did quit two times, but finished it in a third sitting, headphones, late night, lights out and all:-)

[GW212]

Haha, I quit twice as well. Same thing, lights off and headphones on. I'll try again tonight. I'm basically at the end I think (red corridor).

[ipach]

word. i mean, i know it's a game. i know it's just sounds and pictures. but dammit. why subject myself to this?? all this dirty depends???

[SteamPowered]

Did anyone else read kojimas twitter post about buying weed off Troy baker? It's worth a looksie.

[Rockefellow]

The one from January? That's older news thanks this P.T. "secret."

[mogwaii]

Is that it?! This is old bloody news, come on!

[Gardenia]

I still don't understand the 's' at the end of Silent Hills. Silent Hill is a town, so is there more than one town now?

[calvincrack]

"Aliens" reference?

[GenericNameHere]

Someone on Neogaf mentioned this a day or two after P.T. was released.

[FriedGoat]

Yeah I read the exact comment you did, it was in the PT thread, like the next day after.

[Bushwick]

I kinda thought the demo was.............lame

[dafegamer]

"sees crying foetus in bathroom" nope.nope.nope

[HonestDragon]

Huh. That's interesting. I did wonder how they came up with the name for this fake developer. Now I know.

[cell989]

the one time i got extremely scared that I actually screamed was when I first tried to peak into the restroom, where the door wont open, but theres a slight opening, the creature that pops out of there so randomly scared the crap out of me

[MediaStinger]

Old news. Was hoping for something new.

[Muzikguy]

Psshhh... I knew this. (Not really lol) And I also missed that balcony part... Can't beat the darn thing either :/

[bigjohn221]

I looked up at this part...2 seconds later had to go turn my light on and open my bedroom door lol.

[Dowie]

Oh this game..I played it last night and just couldn't solve the last puzzle (couldn't find the last picture piece) It trolled the hell out of me in the last minute

Check it out: http://www.twitch.tv/hawgam...

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I hope the new SILENT HILL is in first person view .

[canek]

kojima and Guillermo del Toro are super awesome together!!!!

[Alex_Boro]

Still don't know what 204863 means...

[NBT91]

I still reckon it is Kojima's date of birth. 24.8.63. A hint that he is involved with the game?
It could be some kind of clue for the final puzzle that people still don't seem to really know how to solve properly as well...

[Skizelli]

I finally completed the demo tonight. I've never been so freaked out in all my years of gaming. I'm a huge fan of Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark, Penumbra, Amnesia, Outlast, etc. But nothing I've played before holds a candle to this. I can't freaking wait!
