So I got a PS4 for my birthday today and PT, of course, was the first (and only) thing I played (with the lights off and my dad watching). I don't think I've ever yelled like I did here out of fear in my life until this game.
It was so surreal playing this with the paternal theme while my dad was watching and hearing my own son crying/whining during his bath during the fetus crying scenes. And being unable to figure out the "hello/from hell" section within a reasonable time sure made the baby crying noises rake the nerves. Only part I looked up was the looping red hallway segment. Now having read further after glitching out, I'll collect the pieces and try to survive a haunt and listen to laughs and bells and phonecalls.... whatever that all means. I'll have fun trying.

Did you guys notice this? Lisa spawns in the safe room
100% of the time? Where?
I tried a bunch of the supposedly confirmed solutions and they didn't work.
I figured if 100% surefire solutions were discovered that I'd have seen some stories on Kotaku or something showing that PT was finally solved.

Here, old post of mine. The "Did you Rike It?" Method was discovered/propegated by other people though. You probably don't even need that that video. You can just use any low rising to high sound at that point or even maybe just saying something loud over and over.
Kojima did say there's still easter eggs to be found.

Reading through the first page, made me realize that there's a bunch of scaredy cats on GAF. :3
I totally forgot this teaser existed! Planning on getting a PS4 next month...I'll have to try this out when I do. I think I'll get my family to give it a go too, that would be fun. Still haven't watched any gameplay of it so I'm ready to be surprised. Sounds amazing though.

Yep. And in Off Topic there's a bunch of scaredy cats there, too. Just enter a bug or spider thread.
You Must...MUST play this in the dark, when it's dark outside. Make sure you have surround sound and if not, use headphones. Don't let people just chitchat in the background. You need to have the place silent.
Don't do this. Please.

Quick PT Question:
I guess a better question would be:
When Lisa gets you, what are the noises you hear just after she.. breaks your neck and you fall to the ground?
I guess a better question would be:
What happens when you die from the time Lisa gets you, until you respawn in the safe room?

Sounds like she's chewing on you... or maybe it's her pulling your guts out.

Really? haha I thought either I was pissing my pants or she was pissing on me as a final "fuck you" lol
Haha. I never play this game at night. I play during the day and it still scares the crap outta me.
Playing it in the dark with headphones? Nope.

I played the game with a friend in a small gaming room. I was lucky enough to be able to build my own surround sound system setup on the cheap. I turned off the lights and closed the door during our P.T. runs.
I've never screamed like a small child so much during a game in my life. Don't play that demo with 2 speaker sound.
I'm adult enough to also admit that even though we finished it, we restarted the game so that his brother could play it as well, and I ended up hiding behind the couch, covering my ears because I didn't want to meet lisa again, especially when you can hear the cries.

I played it at night with headphones. Great experience. Game had me legit shook playing it.

I'm the same way. I played it with some friends at night, in the dark, with a loud and good surround sound system. I was literally hiding behind my hands in fear of Lisa.

In SH4, the ghosts will try to eat your heart by biting your chest, so I figured she was doing something similar.

OHHHH.... So that's what they were doing... Makes sense now I guess... >_>;
Meh, Im an adult and I cant even finish this lol
I like to watch streams though, this "demo" is so well done. Surprised to still seeing people playing it on PS4 streams figuring the last loop.

I finally got around to trying this. Didn't know that much going in other than it's a teaser for a Silent Hill game. I've never played a Silent Hill game. I thought it would be fun to play it with the lights off with the surround sound turned up. The ghost appearing in the door and pulling it shut made me yell and I almost threw my controller through the TV screen when you turn around and get killed by the ghost girl.
I can't even remember the last time I had a thrilling scare like that! So dang tense! Definitely scarier than any movie I've ever seen.

Just check the Demos section.

I am in the infinite red corridor loop segment where I can walk around really quickly and there's moving eyes everywhere on the pictures on the walls. Is this the place where I need to use the sound playback into the microphone while looking towards the phone, or is that something that only comes later? Please don't tell me what to do, if that's not what I'm supposed to do. The sound playback thing is one thing I know I'd never be able to figure out for myself, so I'm OK spoiling that solution, but so far the game has not been impossible to figure out. Also, was I supposed to end up on this looping red light section, or were there other possible outcomes?
I'm astounded by this game btw.

No, the microphone has nothing to do with that part, and yes that is where you are supposed to be. Good luck.

Are you saying that I'm not at the part that's basically the very end of the game, where I'm supposed to do something to create three giggles? (I'm asking because I just read that for the 3 giggles part you apparently don't really have to use the microphone)

Investigate the walls.

The place where the microphone helps is the 3 giggles part, which you are not at yet. The red hallway you are in is completely reliant on you having a keen eye. Just look carefully.

Finished it last night. Man, what an incredible game this was. I eventually had to resort to using a recorded scream to the microphone, and it clearly produces the intended result. Also, I've found out that for the 1st giggle, all you have to do is make exactly ten steps from the phone towards the door at which you first came in, at any point, even right after you first enter the room. No need to stare at the phone, wait for the ghost sounds to subside or anything. Just make exactly 10 steps and stop. For the 2nd giggle, just use the pre-recorded higher pitched scream from here: https://soundcloud.com/bbqslap/pt-yell and play it as soon as the clock starts chiming. When it finishes chiming, you get the giggle. Then just stand in place to get the third one and the phone to ring. The whole thing can be completed this way in less than a minute probably.
I was thinking, instead of the scream, it is also possible that you can achieve the intended result by just turning the volume from the game really loud, so the microphone picks up some of those weird ghostly sounds.
Someone on GameFAQs found some text which pretty clearly although cryptically alludes to all of this, but I have no idea where they've found it (apparently somewhere on Lisa's picture). It goes:
My voice, can you hear it?
You're screaming from a separate reality.
This sign, Can you read it?
You're the one who wrote it.
I'll wait forever if you just come to me.
You walk ten steps towards your separate other reality self.

The first, third, and fifth lines I've seen on the photo. The others I have NEVER seen.

Oh I see... the other lines are probably that poster's interpretations of what the 1st, 3rd and 5th lines mean. What photo has those lines, and when?
Theres a frame next to the clock that is empty, and you can collect the pieces of the picture all over the hallway.
When you get them all theres a pic of a woman with that message.
My bad, its true. You dont need the full picture

So does that mean "Jack" is the name you need to say?

Ah, I was stuck on that part up until I played the video into my microphone. Needless to say, I lost my shit.

I'm going to finally play this for Halloween
Yup, I find it as an official solution.
It pretty much sums up everything digged before.
Also from here:PlayStation.Blog said:
Ace being 1 obviously.MrGarry2u said:
I bet they had ps camera listening. =\\
Also, do we have any footage of solving this WITHOUT using mic?
I dunno. I read it alot on various forums but maybe it was the PScamera as you said.
Btw just played the final loop. I never was able to do it saying Jarith but Jack worked instantly :/

I played a few minutes of this awhile back and stopped because well, I was scared.
Fast forward to last night, a friend came over and I suggested playing through the game together to minimize the fear factor. Well, turns out even with his presence it was probably the scariest videogame experience I've had.
I guess there's something about being inside a quiet house at night that is relatable and taps into some sort of primal fear, one that mostly went away as I grew into adulthood but resurfaces every once in awhile. Case in point: most horror movies don't faze me, but watching Paranormal Activity was nerve-wracking to me. Meanwhile a lot of people were just bored by it, so I dunno.
It's funny because as soon as the Silent Hills teaser started, all the tension and dread immediately evaporated and I felt like I was watching some fake "Hollywood" thing from the comfort of my living room. I have to wonder if that game will manage to terrify me the way P.T. did.
