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.
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.
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!
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
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
"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.
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.
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.
Yes, more than likely you can. Quite a few games have been removed from PSN/XBL but you still can download it again as it still can exist on their server, just not up for people to see and download if they didn't before it was taken down. Lot's of disagrees from people who have no idea how this works but want to join in anyways.
Doesn't mean Kojima won't make a spiritual successor, but that's the wrong term for a game that has never been released. Perhaps we can call it the "end-product manifest"?
Agree, everyone should give it a try. To anyone out there that's interested but doesn't have a PS4 at the moment, all you need to do if you have a PSN account is access the PlayStation Store website and "buy" it from there (it is free). That way it will be linked to your account and you may have a shot at downloading it later when/if you get a PS4.
The point of my comment is to let people know they don't need to have a PS4 to link the game to their account, they only need a PSN account and access to the PlayStation Store website. Something that Sony should really advertise, as it is a great feature. It also works with PS+ games, if anyone is wondering.
In your comment, you mention that you can link the game to your account and download it later, but not that you can do it from the website. That said, I still don't think your comment merits disagrees. Some people did agree with you, so hopefully you helped a fellow gamer out there, that's what matters.
What's with people saying the death of gaming and all this sensationalist stuff about digital games? This is just a demo, and with what's been going on at Konami, this doesn't fall under that category.
It can also happen with a full game. Your acting like full games can never be delisted but they can. Look what happened when Capcom lost the Marvel license.
ah, on that note; i bought marvel vs capcom 2 right before they removed it from the store and i can still download and play it to this day. gives me hope cause i dont own a ps4 yet, but your damn right i went and downloaded it lol hopefully in 3 months i can play what i missed.
Yeah as long as you buy it before it gets delisted there's no issue. But if you want to buy it now your out of luck. Thats one of the negative things that digital copies have.
I can happen with a full game where you can't download it after it's removed, but it's extremely rare. It's so rare I would have considered it untrue, but I do have a game that I can no longer download. I know it didn't just get lost in my download list, because it is quite literrally the first game I purchased digitally on my PS3, so it would be the last thing listed...after a piece of Ridge Racer DLC.
if Silent Hills never happens, i hope someone like Shuhei Yoshida at least becomes inspired by this game (which is his) and gets one of the first party studios to make it work with Morpheus. In the event that kojima does leave konami, at least recruit him, or help him fund his studio, if he ever decides to make one
PT was something that came out of left field and its just sad to see it go to waste
Thats what i'm thinking Im sure they can use the same concept as P.T without using any characters from the later known name Silent Hills. I just hope Sony is willing to make this happen ;)
Guillermo del Toros game projects keep getting canceled! InSane and now Silent Hills. And its always because of Corporate company drama and bullshizz. It's freaking sad and pathetic.
This is what Konami deserves for not giving us an HD side-scrolling Castlevania or Contra series. Now Metal Gear is dead too. Fans won't support MG without Kojima. Konami is dead, and good riddance. No new 2D Castlevania game since Order of Ecclesia? That was 7 years ago. RIP Konami.
I got stuck on the changing torch light colours , never went back as it was too disturbing , I just like to glance at it in my library , just to know it's there....
Don't get the Konami business model anymore. So many great franchises just sit on the shelf not being utilized. People have mentioned the 2D Castlevania issue. The reason for no new 2D release in the past several years? No idea...maybe if the Assassin's Creed China experiment sells well it will inspire them?
Japanese devs and publishers just seem to be shitting the bed these days. Square-Enix, Capcom, Konami, it's just not the glory days of the PS2 for these guys on consoles...too much focus on handheld/mobile. It's hurting core gaming.
Oh what the hell is going on ;C !? Why remove one of the best and most downloaded demo ever created, well at least on consoles.
I didn't even know there was some period for it... has to be Konami's doing related to this recent stuff. Enough is enough Konami ;(!
Download it now folks if haven't and play it. I was hoping for P.T. to release on PC also, but I guess it'll never happen. And then there's Silent Hills, my most anticipated horror game in very long time... Wonder what gonna happen to it in the end.
I'm kinda bummed, I still don't what sparked this Kojima vs Konami thing off. It just leave's a bad taste in my mouth. That said, all the games I buy the PS4 will be physical copies with PS+ titles being the icin
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.

The final proof that core gamers rule nothing.
will this being delisted erase it from my console, or my "Library"?
