So instead of making cheap casual phone games AND triple A game blockbusters like MGS which bring prestige to your company they are going to just have the cheap casual phone games? I don't get it. They were making profit off both types of game. Now they only have the profit of one type. This isn't progress even in a purely capitalistic view.

This has to be one of the highest profile cancellations ever. One of the most famous game directors in the industry with a triple-A studio on an iconic series with a massive amount of hype from an extremely effective announcement. Whole different level from mid-tier studio Vaporware #346

I am playing through Outlast and really loving it. It is a bit of a one trick pony and could have used a few more stealth mechanics because if you are ever spotted and can't break line of sight you are pretty much done for, but it really nails the atmosphere and scariness for me. There is some really gruesome messed up stuff in that game.

Where are you going to download it from once it gets removed, though? Even if you "bought" it there's no way they're still going to host it on their servers once it's gone from the store.

This whole "oh no I'm defenseless and something is chasing me" shtick is getting so old. I mourn the loss of Silent Hills

 If you want to download PT but don't have a PS4Create a PSN account if you don't already have one. navigate to P.T.'s page for your country, add to cart, confirm the purchase. Every single game you "purchase" can be re-downloaded at any time. I actually think it's illegal for Sony (or any digital retailer, actually) to stop offering a digital product you purchased without giving a refund? My friend doesn't own a Sony console but he's been "banking" PS+ games for 2 years now until he buys one and then he has a truckload of games just sitting there for him to play.

Pretty sure somewhere in the fine print for both Xbox Live and PSN there is a clause that allows them to take stuff down for whatever reason they want. Not sure about the refund issue but in the case of P.T. it doesn't really apply since it is totally free. I have no idea if they are actually removing the files or just making it unavailable to purchase.

So it is probably way too early to know if it is horror or not, but I think Firewatch is looking pretty spooky. It could go in a Gone Home sorta direction though.

INSIDE KONAMI HEADQUARTERS:- CEO:- That loving VP Kojima, who the gently caress does he think he is, making incredible games, pushing human achievement in digital media, Changing the world, raking in hundreds of millions for the company, possibly re-inventing a loved franchise with a world renowned director and a hot streak actor. the nerve of the loving guy. Quisling:- Yeah, the nerve! CEO:- This company should have one future and one future only, make lovely phone games and pachinko machines, that's where the future is! Quisling:- Yeah, Cut his loving balls off! CEO:- Yes, Cut his balls off. it's not like he was the single only good thing left in the company in general. Board member:- But sir he's doing awesome stuff and making millions for the company and producing cool games, what's the problem? CEO:- Exactly. It's time to put a stop to that fucker.

At least before he left Kojima got to make a doctor have to state publicly, "No, the experimental procedure I'm going to do is not a Metal Gear publicity stunt, it's a real thing". At the same time though, it does make you wonder what loving insane poo poo he'd have put in a Silent Hill game.

Although being a free game it could very well happen, who knows.

Unplug PS4 from net, check reaction on net to see if installs get deleted from the PS4 the day after, if so play to your satisfaction until reconnecting

Does the PSN community usually keep data preserved? Someone should probably save PT and keep it floating about on MegaUpload or whatever. If it works like that.

Konami officially confirms Silent Hills cancellation while dropping a nebulous statement that they're talking with Kojima and Del Toro about a future Silent Hill game. My brain.Butt Ghost posted:Does the PSN community usually keep data preserved? Someone should probably save PT and keep it floating about on MegaUpload or whatever. If it works like that. I don't think PS4 has legitimately been cracked yet. Best we have is someone ripping it at a later date but seriously don't expect to see P.T. ever again.

I think the best we could hope for is someone recreates it on PC. The Fox Engine is multiplatform and already running there, I don't know if Konami are licensing the engine for personal use though.
