Anyone try it from here? I've spent like the last 2 hours trying to beat this demo. It's scary as s***, scarier than Outlast for sure.

This has been one of the most mysterious titles to come out of Gamescom. Everyone's talking about it, dozens of streams up trying to beat it yet there's like no info out on what the f*** this game is about? It's pretty much gone viral now since Gamescom ended.

It's like the Cloverfield of games.

Btw, the graphics are amongst the best I've seen so far although it's pretty much closed corridors but it's so immersive.

Some pics I took; all in-game:

Search for PT without the period's. It should be a "free" game or demo, I forget. I'm STILL trying to get through this but apparently there's a huge surprise at the end that I already know. I'm just trying to beat it right now but taking forever because I'm not sure what I need to trigger!
 
Apparently once you reach the end it's

Revealed to be a teaser trailer for the next Silent Hill game, called Silent Hills. Polygon reports that when you reach the final scene, the demo is revealed to star Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead fame, and the names Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro (!!) appear on screen. What a dream team.

Kojima has said several times that he’d love to make a Silent Hill game but to be honest we never believed it would actually happen, despite all the teases. After all, he’s supposed to be hard at work on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

No word yet on whether the full game will come to platforms other than PS4.

Watch the real ending here if you're too lazy to play through but the actual game is Silent Hills being developed by Hideo Kojima working with Guillermo Del Toro starring Norman Reedus (Darryl from The Walking Dead) as the main character.

This was a crazy reveal IMO. I had no expectations going into the demo this afternoon.

 
"Scarier than Outlast?" Everything is scarier than that yawn fest, you coddled fool! :p But is there really a downloadable demo I can try?? :D
 
I think I have beaten it technically a few times, but more puzzles are arriving. I'm currently trying to figure out the "Waited for it to pass" one.
 
So is this demo indicative of what the visuals will look like in the final game? The videos look amazingly lifelike.
 
I'm on the final loop and still waiting on the second baby giggle. Seems to be random.

And if a silent hill reboot is going to be anything like the demo, this game will be terrifying.

Where you at now?

Same place. When you beat a new part of the game, you are taken back to the very start and lying on the ground once again with the dimly lit door. I have come back to this room two or three times now, and I am now on a new set of puzzles.

That's not beating the game. The real ending is a short cutscene.
 
I don't have PS4, but was checking out the demo online. The visuals are amazing.

Apparently it's using the FOX engine.

This interactive teaser is genius. You have Gamespot playing it for several hours on end and finally just give up on live stream, lol. They said they might pick it back up today.

You have thousands of gamers trying to work together to figure out how to get out of the house on live streams. It seems the general consensus is you need to hear two baby giggles, a vibration and phone ring but how to get there seems to be procedurally/randomly generated. Everyone is talking about this game because the visuals are amazing, the atmosphere is intense and nobody knows how to exactly beat the game. Kojima is amazing. This is viral marketing at its best, everyone everywhere is talking about the mysterious game.

FYI, this interactive teaser was announced right after MGS V in Sony's conference where Kojima was on stage. There was no mention it was made by Kojima studios. Naturally, people just went in thinking it was a one-time scare thing but people thought it ended when you were killed and you restarted. But the first time it was truly beaten by a no-name streamer called soapywarpig, the reveal cutscene at the end was like "OMG, SILENT HILLS!!! Created by Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro starring Norman Reedus" :surprise::surprise::surprise:

Apparently, during the Konami event Kojima said that the visuals are dumbed down on purpose in the P.T. demo because he wanted to give the impression it was made by an indie studio. He said if the full FOX engine was utilized it would be too obvious that it's an AAA game.

Personally the visuals don't look dumbed down at all to me lol.

Yeah I downloaded it ( thanks for the tip) and I thought the graphics were great.

I got attacked once by a ghost girl. Made me scream. Lol

Not yet I got stuck
on a part where it gives a number and says something about not trusting the water.

Interesting, I never got that message. This game is so mysterious , noone's beat it the same way still.

I'd hold that again Kojima then if that really is what they said. Honestly, Kojima is either BSing about the dumbing down of the graphics then or apparently he never said it. These are not detailed graphics any indie dev can achieve, especially for a free release. The only thing that could have given the impressive it was an indie game was the fact it was a single short corridor, but again, the free-ness of it would make it too obvious it was by a big company.
