i can only guess you played it (did you even?) after having already watched someone else's play through/stream, because going in completely cold is a totally different experience, bro.

Nope. He did indeed nail it.
It's available as a Quick Look. That said, I'm pretty sure the clip was from one of the Hellraiser movies. Can't double check now because on mobile.
Holy shit, you're a monster... Yet I can't stop laughing at this.
I play the demo with the lights on during the day with the volume all the way down with my fiance right next to me watching Youtube looking away from the screen and the jump scares off the corner of my eyes escalate my heart violently and make me jump.
Scariest game I've ever experienced by far. I really think it's because the game looks so real. Suspension of disbelief occurs quickly.

You're a brave man.
Merely watching Patrick Klepek go through it was intense, and I was in a nicely lit room with another person watching it alongside me. We straight up screamed multiple times, and even things like the speed with which Patrick would turn his character around were borderline intolerable to us. And personally, I'm pretty much immune to that brand of horror 99% of the time.
Glad to see other people's reactions, as well. Like others, I found the reactions filmed for the P.T reveal unconvincing, no more realistic or representative than the usual reaction shots found in horror movie advertisements. But man, I was wrong. This teaser was the real deal.
I don't speak Spanish, but I think the dude was egging her on the entire way through. She was great.
Link?

Had my wife and four of her friends play and pass the controller every time they went through. The home theater was up, the lights were off, these grown adults went through every range of emotion possible. Laughter, suspense, fear, shear tear that what was in the bathroom was going to come through the screen. Thank you Kojima for being the master troll you are...
It really got in my head. at the part where
I huddled in the corner where there was still light, saying, "i'm not going down that hallway," repeatedly, for a few minutes.
I had to play some Hohokum after to recuperate.

Most of the time I just felt very uneasy.

ghost woman grabbing me from behind.
Stephen King's It, the short story 1408, Misery. (his son, Joe Hill, is really good as well!) Peter Straub's Ghost Story. Tons of Lovecraft. The Exorcist. Any movie that tries to be scary is probably based on an actual scary book, in fact.
It is actually a good example. When they made that horrid TV movie out of it, everything looked so goofy and was so poorly explained that it wasn't scary in the slightest. When you realize that it was actually based on the kids' biggest phobias and picture them yourself they're much scarier than they could ever be on film. Even though King isn't the best writer ever, he has a knack for hypnotizing you into thinking stuff that is actually really goofy is scary while you're reading. That's something.
Books have been scary for centuries before movies or games. It's entirely possible, has happened often in the past, and will continue to happen in the future.

As I've admitted earlier in the thread, I have a tendency to be a giant wimp, but there were certain parts of "Penpal" by Dathan Auerbach that creeped me out. Also stretches of Stephen King novels, but never entire ones, because he can't write an ending to save his life.

It's the phot realistic visuals and oppressive atmosphere fostered by the superb sound design and sheer suspense.
Definitely pick up SH2 if you can. It's a god damn master class in slow dread horror gaming, and holds up incredibly well. There's just nothing else like it.
Penpals is a solid recommendation. Loved Mr. Creepypasta's narration of it.

Yeah its genuinely scary. I only lasted a few minutes and nuked it from my console...
Kudos to the Fox Engine on this. The atmosphere and sound is off the charts. Its funny Kojima has outright said he's a scaredy cat when it comes to the horror genre. I wonder if he can actually play this himself. I've always known he had it in him though. The Psycho Mantis battle still creeps me out to this day.

This was great Elise's reactions were totally genuine and she kept saying "Huber...Huber... I can't do this!" and kept trying to hand off the controller.
I enjoyed this one the best.

I had a few times i jolted and got chills/goosebumps... im also one of those guys that doesnt get scared at movies and never have been scared playing a game, I've felt tense before but never a sense of fear... this demo did something very right. It was the perfect mixture of the graphics, sound and atmosphere. At first I didn't like it but towards the end a few of the jump scares had me laughing at how much of a wuss I am. I really enjoyed this.

Wondered around for about ten minutes looking at stuff after the first jump scare and gave up. I looked at the bear and did something but nothing else seems to trigger for me.
Guess it doesn't work for me lol.

I can barely even watch you guys streaming this. Literally can only watch for a few seconds and have to switch off. I still haven't seen any of these jump scares yet. Just seeing the atmosphere and the darkness makes me feel so on edge. I'm not usually like this.
So big kudos to those of you that can actually play it.

Played this last night, my brother was in his room playing Dota and I got to the part
, I yelled so damn loud for about 15 seconds. All I heard my brother say was "Yeah, fuck that game nope nope nope there is no way I'm playing that".
Day zero for this game, I was chilled for a while that night and had to sleep with my dog. Oh god.

Yep. I adore this genre since childhood and hardly anything ever gets to me anymore but this did it beautifuly. It also helped I jumped into it right after the conference completely blind to what it was. Not even participating in that mega thread from the very beginning lessened that first impact.
Insta-classic, ladies and gentleman. There's nothing "pffft" about it unless you have no imagination or you're playing it "wrong" on purpose (no sound, surrounded with people etc.).

My brother and I were fine until

We screamed like little girls.
This is coming from a guy who played Amnesia with a couple "oh shits" and that's about it.

I thought it was pretty tense until the bit I'm pretty sure the reactions are coming from. The scare had me like
Some of the best reactions I have seen here:
Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R35S9xZlx6I
(First jump scare is around 13 minutes in)
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8VSsmB6qw
"SMELL MY PITS!"
"DUDE, IS SHE PEEING ON ME?!"

Wait, what the...? Holy shit. The voice on the radio at around 39 minutes in is speaking in Swedish. This is freaking me out.
I could only catch fragments.
"[...] your eyes...let your ears listen to the radio."
"Do you hear my voice?"
"You can [...]..."
"Let us choose."
"My voice that foretells the future will decide."
"Your tortured [...]"
"So, what will you choose? You can choose. Your life. Your future."
"Clever as you are, you've probably already noticed..."
"The radio drama from 75 years ago [...?]; they are [...?]; they oversee and see all."
That's all I was able to parse.
Talk about the last place I would have ever expected to suddenly hear a monologue in Swedish.
Tried playing this with gold wireless headset at night when no one was at home. Bad fucking idea.
Almost had heart attack twice. First time when that
Didn't have the balls to go on. How much is left after that?
Damn, I've finished Amnesia but this shit is way more intense.

"something" appears for a second and looks at you through bathroom door. Second time (on the next reset) when that tall shit appears in hallway and lights explode.

Anyone who played this organically after the games con presser, not knowing anything, knows how fucking creepy this game was. I don't get scared easy and screamed out loud when the lady grabs you from behind it was so unexpected. Pure genius on sony's part. Silent hill we be a day one just off this teaser alone and it has nothing to do w/ the actual game.

I can't believe i found the teaser more scary than amnesia or outlast. I hope they keep the first person mode for they game or at least for parts of the game where you need to explore/solve puzzles.

If only Roger Ebert was still around, I would have loved to hear his reaction to this.
This guy is amazing.
"I'd put you in a fuckin' full nelson. I'd make you pour yourself a bowl o' cereal, and then I'd eat the cereal, then piss in the bowl. Fuck you, cockroach."
Plenty more. Keep it up.

I'm going to be playing this later today with my friend. I'm legit scared to do it though..
I've been fine with any horror movies and pretty much all horror games but this seems next level.
I wonder if you can permanently scar yourself from something like this? I keep thinking if
we just go for it I don't want nightmares for a week.

Awesome topic. I got a kick out of watching PT playthroughs yesterday.
What, play it myself? You must be insane.

Absolutely agree. I'm not spooked easily (in fact, only the original Silent Hill has ever managed to unsettle me), but this PT thing was genuinely tense and unnerving. My missus had to leave the room because she couldn't handle it, and I was just walking down a hallway!
Whatever little psychological tricks they're pulling, I love 'em.

I played it last night. I didn't find it scary, but I did get drawn into the atmosphere of the game. I yelped at the jump scare, which surprised the shit out of our cat who was sleeping next to me. He wasn't impressed.

This happened to me on my first attempt. I tried again tonight and managed to get through after reading up on it a bit and occasionally muting it, haha. And also getting lucky on the final puzzle, considering there's still no clear explanation or solution for it. The full play-through only took ~25 minutes.
