Something I noticed: There are 2 (maybe more?) broadcasts about fathers killing their family. I don't think the house you are in is either - there are no kids in the pictures. And it does say the father killed them and wasn't original about it. So something on the radio causes people to snap? The broadcast you get when you look through the hole in the red section? (sounds like it's encouraging people that lost their job to kill things) And no one's really figured out the numbers. It could be Kojima's birthday, but that's kind of lame.

The shadow is going the other way. Her feet extend to the floor, at least in that shot. Edit: misunderstood what you meant whups

God I was only watching the walkthrough on Giantbomb and that was one of the most intense feelings I ever had with a game. I had to stop, restart the video multiple times and that was just watching it! I can't imagine what it's like playing it (sadly don't have a PS4). I do agree with Patrick that it overstays its welcome but that first 30-45 minutes, they really nailed it.the black husserl posted:It will be interesting to see how SOMA approaches enemy encounter design - every enemy is unique and every encounter will be different, meaning the player will never be able to learn the "rules" on their first playthrough. I have high hopes for SOMA because Frictional Games's blog has some really interesting posts on horror and game design and if they pull off what they say, it will be great. halokiller fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Aug 19, 2014 |

I think P.T. makes you so uncomfortable you want it to be over.

Nah I straight up got bored after walking around that hallway stuck for 20 minutes. The most threatening moment in PT is stepping into a new hallway not knowing what to expect. Too much time spent in one area and it begins to feel like a broken funhouse ride.

It was also frustrating having to look up a guide to realise that, after trying all the other buttons on the controller, R3 was the only one which actually did anything.

I hope they switch the zoom button in the full game. R3 is not useful for anything but occasional quick presses.

This is like when Kojima took over for Castlevania that needed a reboot. I honestly wish he had more input then because Lords of Shadow obviously isn't bringing in the money.

I still love seeing people look at the hanging fridge and saying 'Oh man it's leaking stuff! Haha, stand under it!' and then the screen gets covered in a huge splash and they just lose it. So gross.

The first time I got a good look at her before I covered my face with the controller I just thought "of course there's blood pouring out of her vagina. Of course there is."

SatansBestBuddy posted:The really exciting thing is that Kojima has just enough pull in the company to make that kind of thing happen. I'm getting the feeling that this is sort of a Hail Mary to save Silent Hill. I don't know if anyone would've blamed Konami for just kind of conveniently forgetting Silent Hill exists after the past few years' worth of disappointing games (and outright what-the-hell-are-they-thinking games like Book of Memories), so the fact that they appear to be going all-out on this one, attaching a big-name developer, big-name film director, and big-name TV actor to it, suggests to me that they're not interested in playing it safe. It's an all or nothing gamble. That's pretty exciting.

I was pretty sure that voice was just a general in-the-house disembodied ghostly voice, not the fetus talking. It always moves its mouth, regardless of what's happening elsewhere.

So is there a decent playthrough/let's play/walkthrough of this game on youtube yet? All the videos I've found either rush through or have someone screaming about how scary it is.

So wait, people have gotten to the end without Lisa appearing to kill you? How the hell do you get past the second time you're in the hall with the bathroom ajar and the door at the end closed, then? I've never gotten through there without walking back and forth once or twice, hearing the radio say "DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL NOW", and getting the giant jumpscare gently caress-you death. If there's some other way to get past that bit then I'd like to know it, because fuuuuuuuuck that jump scare, it's randomized and it is terrifying and I am a giant baby.

The first one also has no ghost attacks! But it does appear outside once or twice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmkCL-vuQ3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFCjCxaDAVI e: It is interesting to compare the two and see how things pan out differently.

I'm pretty sure collecting all pieces of the photo stops her from killing you. After the first playthrough I've gotten them all ASAP, and she hasn't killed me since.

I am a giant goddamned baby, so my mindset in playing this was "pretend you're just playing another lovely "horror" "game" like Lowtax and Shmorky" and try to laugh everything off. So as soon as I saw the fridge was leaking I got my rear end underneath and looked straight up, just soaked it in for a while and laughed about it. And I still flinched every time ghost lady dove into me.

Apparently there is a Swedish radio transmission during one of the haunts. It has been translated and seems to have some pretty big revelations. http://screenburn.kotaku.com/the-swedish-radio-transmission-in-p-t-hides-a-major-re-1624276494/+Fahey

poor nose posted:Apparently there is a Swedish radio transmission during one of the haunts. It has been translated and seems to have some pretty big revelations. Huh, not sure I like that direction. I feel like the actual, literal reason the characters get to Silent Hill isn't as important as what they experience while there and  just seems kind of dumb. I mean I know Silent Hill has done it before, so who knows. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

If it actually is a hint about the plot of Silent Hills and not just more P.T. wackiness, it might be more of a Lovecraftian kind of thing. Not little gray men aliens, but unknowable horrors from beyond the stars.
