Abandoned Tech Demo First Teaser Image Released

Blue Box Game Studios has released the first teaser image for their upcoming Abandoned Tech Demo.

Sonyslave31266d ago

Silent hill or some new horror ip.

Jin_Sakai1266d ago

It’s not Silent Hill. Everyone needs to let it go. This game will likely end up being overhyped and mediocre going by their past.

excaliburps1265d ago

Yep. Please let it go for Silent Hill. Sigh.

Nitrowolf21265d ago

yeah, this dude really backed himself in a bad corner. Even the current marketing stuff about the visuals being realistic and stuff will probably back fire on him.

porkChop1266d ago

Does anyone care? That's an honest question. The hype is dead as far as I can tell, killed by the devs that brought it on themselves. Not to mention the dev has a history of abandoning projects.

Inverno1265d ago

This has to be the biggest fail of the year. Literally EVERYTHING has gone wrong for these guys. I feel kinda bad but also I think they bit off more than they could chew. Who knows tho MAYBE they end releasing something decent in the end regardless

Miacosa1265d ago (Edited 1265d ago )

At this point, with all the studio's missteps and broken promises, it might be difficult to look forward to anything they have to say until the final reviews are out for the game to really judge if it's worth a play.

Bathory6661265d ago

You know that friend who Keeps cancelling on you? After awhile you’re just like..no. Fk this developer.

Abandoned studio thanks Kojima for ‘addressing conspiracy theories openly’

From VGC: "Blue Box Game Studios, the developer behind the horror game Abandoned, has thanked Hideo Kojima for publicly addressing long-running speculation that he’s involved in the vapourware project.

Earlier this week Kojima broke his silence about being linked to the project on his podcast, Brain Structure, in an attempt to end months of rumours that the Metal Gear creator was the secret mastermind behind the controversial game.

“We want to thank @Kojima_Hideo for addressing the conspiracies openly,” Blue Box tweeted. “It has been a burden and not cool for both fans and developers. We hope everyone can close this for good.”"

Oh yes, a "burden". Is that why you did little to no disputing yourself?

SinisterKieran950d ago

Not true in the slightest, on more then one occasion, they said they weren’t involved. This is a tweet in 2021. “ We wanted to set things straight. We have no relations with Konami. Silent Hill is owned by Konami. We do not have any relations with Hideo Kojima. It was never our intention to tease the name as Silent Hill. We sincerely apologize for this.”
And they kept addressing this rumour over and over. This is the fans fault

monkey602950d ago

Yep you're right, it's all the fans fault and absolutely not Hasan Kahraman's own doing at all. He's the victim here and a stand up guy. Not even close to being a con artist or opportunist.

CS7950d ago

So what about posting a blurry photo of a guy in a eye patch while people think your game is connected to Kojima?

EvertonFC950d ago

Wasn't they like 1 year late with that reply ?

SinisterKieran950d ago

So did or did they not say they weren’t connected to kojima in any way? Because it seems clear as day that they said they weren’t. Kinda seems like dumbasses wanted there to be a connection.

Thanking him for resolving a conspiracy that they basically encouraged and rode for as long as they could. How nice of them.

Ank666950d ago

Kojima again speaking about the game & the studio just to revive the debate when no one is even talking about it anymore is yet again a fishy scenario & action.

SinisterKieran950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

1nsomniac950d ago

Are you serious!? That was almost a year after they created the conspiracy theory themselves, intentionally numerous times trying to promote that it was linked. They openly used him as a marketing tool to a point I’m surprised they haven’t been sued. I would imagine there has been some form of talks between solicitors at some point. Which is maybe why it’s now cancelled.

porkChop950d ago

Do yourself a favor and actually educate yourself on what really happened.

Moe-Gunz950d ago

Should be more concerned about their lack of follow through with what they said they'll release.

BLUE BOX Game Studios responds to cancellation rumors

BLUE BOX Game Studios took to twitter to respond to rumors of their upcoming title, Abandoned, being cancelled.

MadLad1168d ago (Edited 1168d ago )

A game needs to exist to cancel in the first place.

Eonjay1168d ago

I think Abandoned isn't a real game. At least not in the sense of what we think. I think it is it is the ghost of another game that we all wanted and it was abandoned. It is now literally haunting us.

mkis0071167d ago

At this point is has to be some sort of marketing gimmick. The name itself is kind of on the nose.

porkChop1168d ago (Edited 1168d ago )

Why do people keep giving them attention?

MadLad1168d ago

Because they basically create easy articles for people that get attention.

Just like Star Citizen updates.

This bluepoint studio is just LOL

slayernz1167d ago

u should probably actually read more than the first word in the headline before guessing which studio this is about lol

jznrpg1167d ago (Edited 1167d ago )

Blue Box Game Studios… Bluepoint actually released some awesome stuff, Demons Souls Remake , SoTC remake . Blue Box Game Studios is part of some marketing scheme to f with people and that’s it so far

CrimsonWing691167d ago

You maybe want to fix your statement and fast before you’re the laughing stock of this comment section.

0hMyGandhi1167d ago

I genuinely N4G would make it so that you'd have to take a short quiz on the content of the article before being able to comment on it.

Wow.

SonyStyled1167d ago

There used to be a bubble system on this site for how many comments you could make

MadLad1167d ago

@SonyStyled

It's still there, to an extent.
Now it's just a general comment cap for everyone, I'm assuming.

The bubble system was flawed, being it just let the majority quiet comments they didn't like if I remember correctly.

Fonsecap1166d ago (Edited 1166d ago )

Yes blue box, that's what I meant, my bad, at least the blue part was right though lol... I know bluepoint and I know they're a good studio (hopefully they'll remake mgs for us), I know the all the history about this abandoned facade and just hate the fact that they're trying to convince someone that this is still a thing. cut me some slack. Cheers

Blue Box Deletes Tweets About Abandoned Future Plans, Says They Are Facing a "Minor Delay"

Blue Box deletes tweets about Abandoned future plans which include the mention of a demo. Studio says they are facing a "minor delay."

CaptainHenry9161169d ago

I'm surprised this indie game hasn't been cancel yet

ZwVw1169d ago

"I'm surprised this indie game hasn't been ABANDONED yet"
Fixed for you.

Welshy1169d ago

Yeah this "game" is over. They had their 15 minutes with the Kojima/Silent Hill rumours and now it'll fade away and be forgotten like their other unfinished games.

monkey6021169d ago

This project was/is a train wreck. Even if the game turns out to be a legitimate product Hasan will have an impossible task of convincing the world he's not a con artist.

excaliburps1169d ago

Yep and whatever it is, it needs to be on the level of PT or he will get roasted.

EvertonFC1169d ago

Has anybody actually gone back to the blue box app" recently ? This game is DOA already.
What an absolute mess of a game reveal

CrimsonWing691169d ago

So what else is new? When it came time to
Show something you delayed it. Judging by your history I’m feeling more like this is vaporware due to you not being able to deliver on the hype you garnered.
