P.T. Doesn't Want You To Pause, If You Do Prepare Yourself

P.T was already one of the most anticipated horor games to release and if you want some proof of it's capacity to scare you just pause the game. Twitch user CryoSphereD pauses the Silent Hills demo in order to take a break and interact with her viewers. But after two minutes the break was over and P.T killed her anyway. Watch the video below and make sure never to pause P.T....... ever.

[DarkOcelet]

Poor girl lol. Lesson learned. Kojima seriously gonna make Silent hills a horror masterpiece.

[amiga-man]

I love watching people stream this game, it can literally scare the hell out of them, one guy was almost in tears too scared to turn around lol.

Anyone who hasn't given this free demo a go really should (dont spoil it by looking at footage before though)

[bmf7364]

I have watched let's plays of it, played it, and was still scared shitless

[marloc_x]

Not breaking the immersion while navigating menus really puts an edge into gameplay..

;)

[nveenio]

With that cat, she seems like someone Family Guy would make fun of.

[morganfell]

If you go back and look when the demo was announced, people rushed to get it. The earliest downloaders began streaming Live From PlayStion.

In the history of Neogaf, I have never seen so many remarks of:

"Nope. Not getting it."

"No way, I need to be able to sleep."

"No thanks, I don't need to age prematurely."

And quite a few other comments by people that after watching the streams were too scared to even download the demo. It is a testament to the genius of the design. And it isn't just the larger pulse pounding moments but rather much of the atmosphere is created by the small instances where little to nothing has changed or is occuring.

Rather than constantly hammering you with scare scare scare, it is the sheer tension that elevates this title.

[UKmilitia]

i couldnt play it,i was scared straight away,went through it part way and the crying in the fridge is enough for me.

[FACTUAL evidence]

"Yeah kijima is F'ing amazing" *Ghost lady scare*

Lol that was epic.

[BallsEye]

It's pretty cool but sometimes I just need to pause, cause of work/wife/kids/friends. I'd get really mad if my session goes to waste like this.

[DarkOcelet]

You dont really die btw. You just keep going. Offcourse if that mechanic is in the game, i wonder how he will pull it off. And will he take Shattered memories route with no weapons just running and hiding or will we kill monsters and the most obvious question is it 3rd person of 1st person. My guess outdoors are third person, indoors are first person.

[ziggurcat]

@ballseye

you'll make any desperate excuse you can make in order to downplay something playstation-related, eh?

you don't lose any real progress, so don't worry yourself - not that you'll ever even bother playing this teaser anyway... and it's just a teaser, it's not even a full demo, and probably nothing close to what the final version of the full game is going to be like.

[Ryan741]

That's a valid point but you are unusual in that regard as most PlayStation gamers have none of these things you mentioned.

[Muzikguy]

This demo really is cool! I haven't been able to figure it out yet lol. I can't wait for the full game. As for this pause thing, I found out about it already by going to the bathroom and grabbing some food and a beer. Awesome way to promote if you ask me!

[DarkOcelet]

There is literally over a thousand youtube walkthrough on how to finish the demo unless your are trying to do it without any help. All i can say is good luck.

[NuggetsOfGod]

I hope it works with oculus rift or osvr!

[poor_cus_of_games]

More likely with project morpheus since its ps4 exclusive.

[NuggetsOfGod]

I ment silent hill! This is just concept demo.

If mgs and hellblade, no mans, sf5 is coming to pc I am kinda sure silent hill comes to pc.

Unless sony is funding it?

I want this at 1440p 60fps VR! Whatever it costs..

For me that is how to celebrate the return of real horror!

[Azzanation]

Great jump scare however its quite stupid. Not being able to pause because of an unexpected call or bathroom is bad game design in my opinion.

[madmonkey01]

that is cool. i will try it later to see if it happens every time

[PoSTedUP]

damn... that scare woulda killed me.

[Geekman]

I didn't even flinch. My friends are right, I do have no fear.

What is wrong with me?

[HammadTheBeast]

I'd suggest watching After Earth, it has a no-fear concept, although the terribleness of the movie might just make you afraid of it.

[Assassingamer136]

Nah you got scared

[SavageKuma]

damn....oh that caught me off guard lol.

[BigBosss]

I was playing this at my mates house for NYE with couple of friends and a girl and man o man the guy who was playing it was scared shitless haha! Can't wait to hear more about this game

[TheDude79]

Yeah, this game scared the shit outta me. That is all.

[blakstarz]

Crazy....never knew that would happen!

[Omnisonne]

The game is full of little suprises which i like, small things you have to accidently discover or you could possibly miss them.

Hope the full game has similar small details like these, it really adds to the scare and unpredictability

[Muzikguy]

I agree. The attention to those details is going to make this game a MUST

[NBT91]

Funny that she's saying how good Kojima is and then the jump scare plays just to prove the point XD

That jump scare gets me every time, it seems to happen at different times for different people.

[Elda]

Please!....

[C L O U D]

Somehow I feel my life will be unfortunate and I end up looping in a house like that after playing this game...

[TheLastColossus]

Its not PT

[Klonoa-dreamtraveler]

what you get for purposely stalling time lol. tell me was the cat worth it?

[WeAreLegion]

Haha. I love that!

[xtremexx]

lol kojima and del toro dont screw around.

[StormLegend]

lol she was about to cry.

[SmokingMonkey]

*in Fargo accent*

*oh yea*

*yea*

*that kojima is amazing yea*

*oh yea*

[knickstr]

That's what you get for pausing the game and reading the comments for so long. :P

[Bigkurz85]

How exactly was PT "one of the most anticipated horror games to release" when it was literally announced and available at the same time?

[Muzikguy]

Some o dat newfangled journalism

[josephayal]

Poor Chair

[TWB]

Its a fun little spook in some games but Im willing to bet this type of pause interuption wont be in the SH game itself.

When such scare was introduced in SCP Containment Breach quite alot of people criticized the feature and there was some discussion about removing it.

Good for one sitting games, not good for bigger and complex games.

[TheTwelve]

HAHAHA! This demo still keeps surprising long after its release!

Kojima may be at his best ever this gen.

[Vasto]

So P.T. is Silent Hill?

[calis]

Yeah. It's called Silent Hills

[Summons75]

No, it's just a teaser for the upcoming Silent Hills

[tmh3593]

well not actually PT is a teaser reveal for Silent Hills

[kingPoS]

It's almost as if she summoned the monster when she invoked his name. lol

Gateway MT6706 2008

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Hahaha... That was a good one. Shock & Awe...

[Clown_Syndr0me]

This game was extremely tense. The environment was amazing. Managed to finish it a couple of times, but still not exactly sure how I triggered the final scene..

[Mithan]

They want you to keep moving?
No thanks. I hate timed gameplay. Its shit.

[G20WLY]

It's not timed. You may never complete PT if you don't trigger the right events. This is just a little Kojima prank - a fun detail that many would never see.

[Revengeance]

Silent Hills looks to revive the franchise to its former glory.

[ChristopherJack]

This is terrible in my opinion, I'm the least busy guy I know & I still frequently get interrupted for large periods while gaming, in MP games I do my best to overcome them but that's not always possible (phone calls, door knock, dinner, bossy family member, children, animals misbehaving, toilet, snack breaks).
I don't mind being restricted in how I pause- like not being able to adjust inventory & shit but being able to pause should be an essential feature in every single player game that comes to mind.

[PickAShoe]

The streamer is Cryoshpere. I watched this live and had lots of fun.Check out her funny rant video when the puzzle becomes hard.

[Fastandslow]

Im one of her mods that night was horrible

[Gatsu]

I love P.T.
Need to go and play it again, because I didn't finish it when I played last time xD. It was too scary T_T...and I got stuck in the last riddles.

[juniorpop]

That gamer chick is hot @@

[Reaper29r]

Holy crap that's creepy but awesome. I really enjoyed that demo. I had never played silent Hill before this. Now I'm trying to go back and get the previous games. Can't wait for this to come out!

[Dirkster_Dude]

Game is crap. A pause needs to be a pause unless it is somehow a multiplayer game. Any fool that doesn't allow pause to mean pause is an idiot to think it ads anything to tension. The pause could easily have been me making a donation to the Porcelain Goddess. Do you think I'm NOT going to do that just to make a game designer happy? If you think so you can kiss what comes out of my butt.

[Me-Time]

I got stuck during the demo. I was about two or so hours into it, but I couldn't find my way out of it. There were times when I thought I couldn't go forwards, but there was a way. I just had to stop at some point and don't want to look it up on youtube or anything. If the game does come to fruition like we think it will, then I will definitely get it. I just hate that I couldn't get past it all and I did get legitimately get scared a two or three times during the demo. Ahhhhh

[gamey]

I hope this game is gonna make me crap myself...It's been so long. I want to make sure I'm still capable of crapping myself. I'm stoked to see all the playthroughs of this game. Force (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy8KN IrrBrg) did a pretty good freakout on the demo.

[hkgamer]

she has over a 1000 viewers on pslive?

[urwifeminder]

Wow is this a comedy some people need to learn the difference between suspense and being frightened , sorry never cried in a game never been scared in a game laughed a lot though.

[GMW]

Amazing horror game! Also not buying SH because if this is a taste of what to expect then it's way too scary for me.

[Agent_hitman]

So that's a warning for us future Silent Hills gamers. We should not pause the game that long to avoid this jump scare lol.

[the_mack_attack3]

I know its coming and yet it scares me....

[vork77]

Kojima ultimate troll

[masterfox]

Imagine if she had holding the cat, flying cat right there or pawns to the face, lol!

[theFAYEsorceress]

it's a random thing but it happened to me while i was looking up a guide for it lolz
