Can you stop calling those endings ?

I got killed by the "father" about 5 different times in different places.
Including in the kitchen, and in the TV room.

Father = one ending.

Can you have the axe before making the mannequins turn ? did someone tried to axe them from behind ?

I don't have my PS4 here so i cannot try it

I really don't think that's the case. It's more about the message you hear on the phone, which may suggest other possible endings, rather than what happens afterwards.
 
Did anyone platinum REmake here? This demo makes me want to finally go back and do it but that game gives me so much anxiety (like it's supposed to).

That and RE5 and eventually RE4 are gonna be great lead ups.

I played on Easy and still have trouble with it lol. No way I could platinum it.

Did you get those by using the glitch after the phone?

There are ingame instructions and explanation to beat the last puzzle...

Well, the pieces you find around are REALLY hard to decrypt anyway. Also there are multiple solutions it seems.

What if the phone gives you hints on the endings you haven't got. Maybe somebody could delete their save and listen to the phone message before ever going through the back door.

My demo switched to Chinese when I picked English in the language tab and it won't let me switch. At first I thought this was like one of those weird Kojima mechanics, but it's literally chinese and I don't think it's intentional. Help :(

I've gotten multiple different phone calls and I've never gone out the back door.

Language or subtitles?

Okay, so its not like we are just being allowed to open the drawer now that we have confirmed it got lock picked by the camera man - we the player are actually affecting change on the timeline in the present. What if there is something we aren't supposed to do?

For example, the camera man can open the pot lid on the kitchen table - would the pot lid then be open for the player in the present had he also not opened it before watching the video? Does turning the sink off in the tape turn the sink off in the present also? What about the microwave or the stove?

none of this has any affect at all. other than the draw.

Wait, like you've never gone out the back door in any playthrough? How??

I dunno how but I'll help OP out -

watch the vhs, pull the lever in the fireplace and grab the key in the hidden room. Open the backdoor and welcome to the family son

Oh wait just saw it's by choice.

Someone try doing everything without the axe, and unlocking the draw but leaving the axe.

Down the stairs on the first floor?

There is only the stairs going up from the first floor.

Also did that happen after answering the phone? There is a glitch if there isn't enough room behind you for the guy to appear he just won't.

I'm from England so we say first floor - for you it's second floor.

Yes it's happened after answering the phone (though another time it didn't trigger because I hugged the walls).

OMG i just saw a man Walking along the hallway after I picked up the door key!

will Upload the video right now

That happens consistently every time. The door is initially closed, you get the key, it's open and if you keep looking you'll see a dude walk across the entry way.
 
I mean, there's got to be a reason you're allowed to put the key in the door but not walk through it, right? Like, is it just a "Let's add to the tension" kind of thing?

There must be a way to complete this. I've been at work all day after being in this thread until 2am this morning and we still aren't closer. We should just contact a dev or something at this point. Reps are just becoming annoying.

I got the platinum trophies for REmake, Zero and Resi 6. Platinuming Zero actually gave me a new appreciation for the game as it used to be my least favorite.

I've spent a good ten hours playing the demo and have tried everything, but there's ONE thing that baffles me that I haven't heard anyone mention - why does the mannequin on the top floor respawn after I destroy it (and the rest don't)? Maybe this is the clue to discovering something new...
 
P.T. had better bread crumbs to follow except until the very, very end. The only reason P.T. didn't reach a frustration point was because it got figured out very quickly. Even then, no one knew what the ending trigger really was - it took weeks for the giggles to get found out, and even then, giggle 3 took even longer. We were not supposed to find out about Silent Hills for a few weeks, according to Kojima & Co. Seems like Capcom decided to take up the challenge.

Also, P.T. had a checkpoint system. This game doesn't seem to have that...

wait a minute...



Nope. None of the outside assets that we see in the VHS tape were there during the daytime.

No we found out PT the next day. At least the alert method. Might not be what was intended but it worked every time.

The reason that was found by accident I assume is because the sound trigger was by pitch so it didn't have to be something specific. The ten steps anyone can randomly fall into. So mix those things and it's easy to see why it was found accidentally.

Clearly this has no accidental ways to solve it. It's just one way and we can't find it. This means it can't be something as open as voice recognition.

It has to be a certain specific sequence of activating things

The mannequin that pops out on the 1st floor resets when you rewatch the video

When does it respawn? I noticed the boxes up there will also respawn. I was bored and knocked them down the stairs and later when I came they were back again.

I've seen this discussed on the Reddit thread: Maybe we have to point the finger at something in the environment while examining it?

The thought of everybody getting family'd is tickling me right now.

I'm about to boot up and do the same thing. Let's crack this case, GAF!

*As Aamarmo gets family'd lol
 
It feels like the community will need to create some insane check list of every possible combination of activation, of grabbing items, and go one by one removing possibilities. At this point we are all just doing the same stuff over and over.
