My favorite Junji Ito story is the one he did about his cats.
Thankfully I haven't degenerated to the level of the average Silent Hill protagonist yet. Actually, scratch that. Assuming Ito's other works are as unsubtle as Uzumaki, even these guys would seem normal in comparison.
P.T. was the first PS4 title I tested through backward compatibility on PS5. On Oct. 24, I transferred my copy of P.T. to and played the game on my PS5, picking up from a recent save that carried over from PS4. Then I restarted P.T. from the beginning, and played through a bit more. It seemed to work fine. In fact, the 4K screenshot at the top of this post was captured from the PS5 review unit that Sony sent me.
But in the days leading up to Sony’s PS5 review embargo, the situation changed. P.T. is now listed as a “Playable on PS4” title, meaning it can’t be played on PS5.
And after being forced to do a factory reset of my PS5 review unit this week, which deleted all game content from the system, I learned I was no longer able to transfer P.T. from PS4 to PS5. (My colleague Russ Frushtick still has his transferred copy of P.T. sitting on his PS5 SSD.)
When it was playable, P.T. appeared to perform on PS5 just as it did on PS4. I did not complete a full playthrough of the demo, but I experienced no noticeable issues during the 10 minutes in which I tested the game.
Sony had previously warned that some content (including game demos, which would encompass P.T.) might not be compatible on the new console. The playable teaser for Silent Hills does not appear on the list of unsupported titles on Sony’s PS5 backward compatibility support page.
Reached for comment, a Sony spokesperson told Polygon that the change to P.T.’s backward compatibility on PS5 “was a publisher decision.”
Don't know what people were expecting. PT can no longer exist in a playable form because it promotes a game that isn't being made.
Moreover it was always shit demo
This is properly Lovecraftian.My favorite Junji Ito story is the one he did about his cats.
Here are all the possible hints that Blue Box Game Studios is related to Kojima and Silent Hill.
I think i (might be) a believer. There are several points that hint towards Abandoned being Silent hill and Blue Box Studios being actually a studio opend by Kojima. I've tried to compile all the ones i could find for the moment:
Put your tinfoil hats, this could be something, or this could be one massive waste of time.
- First, the tweet that started it all.
- Hideo Kojima used a fake studio when teasing both Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and PT. The one for P.T was named 7780s Studio and the one for MGS:V was from Sweden
- Abandoned, received a short teaser-trailer on PlayStation Youtube Channel, alongside a blogpost hiting for a release later this year. Silent Hill Composer also teased a new game reveal for summer 2021 (which was shot down by Konami)
- The animated PS Studios logo that plays ahead of first-party games glows blue for a moment, creating a… blue box
- Blue Box Picture? (Six days ago)
- Kojima recent tweet with words Silent and Hill
- There are no saved trademarks for Blue Box Game Studios. But their trailer claim they do.
- Blue Box Game Studios Youtube Banner is a bunch of Hills
- The Blue BOX Game Studios logo is basically PlayStation Studios logo colors inverted.
- "Blue Box" is a term used for phone scams
- Employees at Company Likedin profile use Stock Photos.
- Geoff Keighley follows Studio in Twitter.
- At the Abandoned Trailer, at the 0:49 seconds mark, the letters P and T are covered by the trees.
- A couple months later, BLUE BOX Game Studios revealed that Abandoned would get its own PS5 app which would let players run the game’s trailers in real time on the PS5. This is a curiously specific thing that not even first-party PlayStation Studios games have done, so it raised some eyebrows that this unknown game studio would be the first to pioneer the feature. Another game that got a console application as a teaser for an upcoming release (but was later “abandoned”…) was P.T.
- The Twitter handle for Blue Box game Studios is @BBGameStudios, a possible Death Stranding Reference
- Blue Bog tweeted in one of their tweets that the their game would feature "Snowflakes of Blood". This was used in P.T teasers
- BLUE BOX Game Studios appears to have been founded in 2015, exactly one year after the release of P.T., and right around the time Kojima was going through his breakup with Konami.
- Blue Box Game Studios only other game named 'The Whisperer' was completed by another studio, and it's icon is a black handprint just like in Death Stranding.
- One of their cancelled games named; Lost Tapes is a soundtrack in Metal Gear Solid V
- Sam in the new Death Stranding Director`s Cut Trailer uses a backpack with the Netherlands logo. Blue Box Studios is supposedly based in Netherlands.
- Hasan Kahraman initials are the same as Hideo Kojima.
- Most of the tweets made by Blue Box are at strange local time hours of around 3:00 am. The studio is claimed to be located in Netherlands.Kojima is located in Japan which is 7 hours ahead in time.
- Hasan Kahraman has an account on PSN(SneakyWarrior) with a total number of trophies 1238, the same for the japanese silent hill commercial.
- Hasan had Youtube Channel Called 'Twentyseven27' (Silent Hills was cancelled on April 27th)
- SneakyWarrior (Kahraman) played a game that isn't available on the PS Store that is using Siren Head as an image. Junji Ito reacted to Siren Head a few months ago and implied about working with Kojima.
- Hideo translated from Japanese to Turkish means "Kahraman", which is the last name of Hasan Kahraman, the head of blue box games. Both of their names mean Hero in their respective languages.
- Hasan Kahraman does have an Apple App Store profile with a bunch of low-quality asset flip games under his belt. The only app that’s not a game is called “Go Fit XL,” which sits under the Health and Fitness category. The description of this app says at one point “Personal Training ( PT ) Programs.”
Oh great can't wait for Hideo Kojima to fuck up Silent Hill and make out of it even worse game than what western devs did by totally not understanding themes, lore and why people loved those games. He already proved that with PT and his hollywood style version of SH which isn't SH.
Konami should have sold this IP, already.Okay, we gone from a horror game that tried some interesting mature themes to cinematic haunted house # 58356, cant wait for that.
