Seconding this. Also,

True, but what really confuses me is why people wanted another Silent Hill game not by Team Silent (which disbanded years ago IIRC). That's like asking for an Ace Combat game not made by Project Ace or an RE game not directed by Mikami: your either going to get complete shit like RE or a mediocre game that's either funny because of how weirdly juxtaposed everything is or just blah. But the end result wouldn't be good.

>>15665072

it wasnt even a real game, it was a tech demo.

>>15665096

Because people knew Konami wouldn't reunite Team Silent and thought Kojima was better than any other alternative.

>>15665096

*your either going to get complete shit like RE 6

>>15665072

this. P.T. was made to get hype for a good silent hill game going.

>>15665106

But Kojima is an action-adventure/stealth game guy and in the last 10 years he hasn't even done that well. I mean look at that weird ass shit he's coming with, MGS4 and MGS5 (both of them) for further proof. He should stay away from a genre that's more demanding than an action game to make properly.

>>15665116

Whatever he does is not up to you or any of us for that matter.

People were so excited about it because it was supposed to be a giant teaser for the now cancled Kojima Silent Hill

Now that there is no game behind it, no one cares.

>>15665070 (OP)

First-person horror games reached their peak with Amnesia. Everything since then is just a cheap attempt at creating "atmosphere".

>>15665072

>literally never seen anyone say this

I have, outside of this site.

>>15665106

But Kojimbo last good game was MGS3(Peace Walker was ok but it was just a casualized rip off of MGS Portable OPS). Kojima's best games come from a time when Konami was full of talent on top of their game, alone he is kinda worthless(he proved that many times now).

>>15665070 (OP)

It was a great tech demo. It was a room and a hallway, coupled with excellent visuals and good sounds, and they did more with that hallway and room than a lot of devs do with an entire map. Its entire purpose was to drive hype for a new SH game and if you ask me it did the job big-time.

while it was a walking simulator it did great atmosphere coupled with great story surrounding the building. it wouldnt have made a good silent hill with that monster design. the monster design alongside the level design was a huge part of silent hill. they were grotesque yet you couldnt help but too get a closer look. that takes a lot of talent

It was a demo, not a game.

a vaguely intriguing demo to be sure though, I think it might've had potential.

The real conspiracy theory is that PT was just a tech demo for DS and Kojima intended to create that game even before getting booted from Konami, if he was ever really fired. Something doesn't add up here.

>>15665207

I feel like mgs 1,2 and 3 were good in spite of Kojimbo, not because of him

>>15665149

>>15665747

I like shitposting too

>>15665225

I agree with this anon. It's a shame we'll never see what type of Silent Hill game this one could've been.

Silent Hill 2 is still the best

>>15665824

1-3 are the best Silent Hill games

4 is not as good, but still solid.

Anything after that is various stages of bad or mediocre.

The reason why people praised P.T. was it was a reasonably well crafted promise for the next Silent Hill game. It being a demo fueled anticipation, "Since if this just the demo, imagine what the full game will be like." sort of thing began churning around in peoples heads.

I think it was overhyped for it's scariness, but I can't deny the care that actually went into it. However in the end, like with all things with Konami in recent years, everyone was given blue balls in the end.

>>15665824

>still the best

1973

2 famous movie producer names on top of a (some what) original idea. PT's real strength is it pure in some really hard marketing puzzles which would never have made it into the final game. This did a lot to make it go viral and create the legacy that it has.

tl;dr Muh celebrities + horror fans who want walking sims

>>15665274

PT isn't the only media for that Silent Hill. There is also a video trailer.

Kojima would later go on to admit that when they made PT they had no plans for Silent Hills at all. They had zero idea what to do or how to do it. It wasn't cancelled because it wasn't popular, it was cancelled because it didn't exist and a tech demo didn't solve the creative problems they had. A man who doesn't like horror cannot make a good horror game.

>>15665572

>presumably killed by the Yakuza

https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,52649/ says he was still alive in 2016.

It was pretty unremarkable except for that jumpscare it had.

>even if you paused the game as soon as you saw the ghost around the corner the game unpaused itself and the scream was twice as loud

>>15665824

I dont think they should even call it Silent Hill if they ever work on it again, If anything the tech demo looked nothing like the SH series. Dont get me wrong it was interesting but I dont think they should slap the SH label on something like that.

>don't touch that dial now, we're just getting started

I dunno, it's not the best horror game ever, but it was really memorable and atmospheric. I'd even go as far as to say that it was better than the entirety of Resident Evil 7.

Hype. What this industry is made off.

>>15665070 (OP)

because it had a little bit of atmosphere then the person could imagine how great it could potentially be. kind of how people thought

>If Ground Zeroes is this in depth, imagine how much content the full MGS V will have

to put it another way, if i sell you a product, you'll judge the product on its own merits. If I sell you a giftwrapped box, then you'll judge the product based only on your own imagination of what it might be

>>15666074

Silent Hill's writing has never been very good. The only game with good writing is arguably 2 and even then it's almost entirely in Mary's letter and the endings that the writing is anything exceptional.

Silent Hill is, if we're honest, just a collection of ideas stolen from else where. Phantoms meets The Cell meets horror writer's names on wikipedia. There is little originality in the series but it comes together well that we don't realize it's all stolen from else where.

>>15665072

Idiot numales and SJWs who don't play horror games always say that PT is the best horror game. they have no real frame of reference to compare it to .

Did you guys hear about the update that Konami put out to disable PT on your PS4. I saw anEternalEnigma mention it on Twitter.

Because of Kojimafags thinking he is God's gift to gaming.

Same reason everybody is excited for the Walking Simulator Death Stranding. They think Kojima single handily made MGS and he can do no wrong.

>>15665072

Normalfags say it.

>>15666280

>Did you guys hear about the update that Konami put out to disable PT on your PS4

I remember years ago after Silent Hills was cancelled and PT was removed from the PS store, people who still had PT on their console couldn't play any the digital games they had on it because PT was supposed to be unavailable so it was messing with the consoles DRM system.

>Everyone says it's the best horror game ever made

But that's Silent Hill 2

>>15666363

Numales and SJWs don't know about it and zoomers simply don't understand it. Fortnite is something that's more tailor-made to their tastes.

>reputations of people working on it

A shitty actor, a shitty director and a wannabe shitty director?

It just had potential, that's all. It was the closest thing to a good Silent Hill game in ages, and hell, probably the first horror game to make you actually somewhat afraid in ages too. What else are you gonna cite, one of the endless RE4 retreads?

>>15666363

This is true.

>>15666516

is that banjo?

>>15665081

Unliterally this

>>15665070 (OP)

i dont know about the best. its a shitty genre so that wouldnt be much of an achievment anyway. the horror genre usually scares you using cheap jump scares or startling music. this game does neither. is a very small download. looks really good and is super low on resources. looks real at times.

the gameplay isnt much different from most, but its not really a walking simulator since you have to do certain things to trigger new things.

it does have some very creepy things happen that i dont see too much in other games.

it doesnt give you a story and doesnt need to like the new RE game. it just puts you somewhere, and you trying to figure out your surroundings is what drives you forward.

also, the game has a real punishment for losing,you go "all the way" back. this discourages playing with the AI, or experimenting with what you can get away with, which makes it more immersive because the "enemy" is an actual threat.

Is there any way to play PT now?

>>15666795

yea. have it already downloaded on a PS4

>>15666795

With a 5.05 ps4 you can download the .pkg for it and play it.

>>15668245

holy shit this fucking flag

>>15665072

>literally

You aren't going to literally see anyone say anything on here. Literally, it's all typed.

>>15666713

Unilaterally this.

>>15666795

Its a Kojima game, so YouTube.

>>15666516

Why does this webm exist

I'm geniuently confused

>>15665149

Resident Evil 7 had amazing atmosphere but it did turn into a slasher flick instead of horror halfway through.

>>15668459

Thats what the team working on it wanted, people thing texas chainsaw massacre was their main inspiration, but it was actually the first evil dead movie.

So what did the P.T. initials stand for? Was it just another ruse?

>>15668540

Playable Teaser.

>>15665070 (OP)

I see you watched that JewTube eceleb's video and are now regurgitating his points.

I wouldn't say it was the best horror game ever, but I was pretty spooked by it and I've played a lot of horror games. I was playing with my little brother and my girlfriend in a dark room. My hands got sweaty, had to wipe them off regularly. They got so spooked they had to turn the lights on and they were just watching.

Unfortunately I deleted the game to free up space before everyone went crazy about it and were paying like $300 + trading PS4s to play it.

>>15668581

Thought it was Playable Trailer.

>>15668711

it was actually Punch Taint

>>15668661

Who?

From what I've seen, it had a good atmosphere, was cryptic enough to be creepy and looked good enough for the uncanny valley effect to take place.

The hype certainly was because of it's authors and it being a sequel to a popular franchise, though.

>>15665070 (OP)

Nothing is great about it, since there's no sense of danger why should you even be scared? What does it even got to do with Silent Hill? Seems like a generic spooky horror title.

>>15665106

>The man who can't write a decent script even if his life was in danger

>Handling one of the most well-written franchises of all time. That relies heavily on it's writing to make the enemies and the environment effective.

>>15669835

>franchise

It was a well written series, when other teams started handling the work, as a franchise, is when it went to shit.

>>15665572

>Babel was only Fukushima

Fucking cuckchaners. Both of them have down GB you morons….

>>15665572

The gameplay is good, that's all that matters.

If you're not playing video games for gameplay you're probably a pretentious redditor.

>>15665070 (OP)

It was shit made for mentally ill numales (i.e, hyped numales) to try to sell a tech demo for an unexisting game based on cult of personality alone.

>>15665225

Hype is a mental illness.

>>15668964

Nobody. As all e-celebs are.

>>15671418

It was.

>muh greentext

>>15670485

Nobody plays a horror game for the gameplay. But you do have a point: most gamers today play games in full daylight with some shitty eceleb in the background. Players don't immerse themselves.

>>15671418

It was in the case of 4.

>some game I've never heard of

<Everyone says it's the best horror game ever made

Smells like an astroturfing thread.

>>15687292

It is a tech demo. Not a game.

And it was made by hacks and by a fraud.

>>15665072

Newfag.

I dont care if you hate Kojimbo or love him, but a Silent Hill game made by Kojima and JUNJI MOTHERFUCKING ITO was cancelled by konami.

Fuck Konami, fuck'em to hell with all the razor and barb wire from the town.

>>15666516

this sound like one of those rpgs where the text has sounds when it's dialogue.

>>15682060

It was called MGS4 because it only had 4 hours of gameplay.

>>15694144

Ye

>>15693899

I wouldn't trust Kojima and Del Toro to make it work. Ito most likely would have done good work, but Del Toro with his Hollywood influence of poz and Hideo "I haven't written any story worth shit since MGS3" Kojima wouldn't make a good Silent Hill story.

>>15694144

No. But brand power is real anon. Games DO sell more with Kojiima on it. Movies DO make more money with Spielberg as director.
