Why would they deny something if they are not connected to it at all. Why waste the time on some random bs.

Konami???

Are you serious? They always commented on rumors, they shut down P.T. recreations made by 17 years old kids, they bothered to step in and prevent P.T. from being played on PS5, which was previously possible, even for those poor bastards who downloaded it in time and never deleted it to this day.

They are the WORST on this matter. They are either completely changed, or there's more to it.

One thing that just doesn't make sense for there to be a Kojima link is how bad the smoke looks in the first video, or maybe that's were they didn't put effort in order to distract people. (Well... also the VO is really poor)

While all of this is very entertaining to us forum folk I'm not sure announcing a new Silent Hill this way, or MGS game for that matter, would garner maximum hype nor captivate the biggest audience possible?

Why not do this leading up to E3 so they can have their cake and eat it too? Will there be some Sony event soon or?

All this online chatter right now, on multiple sites across the internet?

This shit is a marketing company’s dream.

There is no better advertising than organic word of mouth.

They work for Konami. Who owns Silent Hill.

They're teasing new Silent Hill merch. Owned and licensed and controlled by Konami.

This is literally the most basic thing to grasp. Are you actually struggling or trolling?

Let me help you understand

Have you once ever in your life ever seen a single product officially teased first by a Merch page. Official Konami hasn't commented, Sony hasn't commented, Kojima hasn't commented. So Sony, Konami, and Kojima Productions all got together and said "I know how to first officially market this new multi million dollar product we're making. Post it on the Konami Merch page with 500 followers."

Teasing new unannounced games is not what these pages do

So Konami, supposedly in a partnership with Kojima right now developing Silent Hills, recently went out of their way to prevent people from playing PT on PS5?

Doesn't sound right :pie_thinking:

I’d say if this whole thing is true that Konami have very, very little to do with any of it, other than allowing Sony to use the IP, and taking their cut (inc merch).

I get that but I refuse to believe Kojima would let something that looked like complete dog shit like that smoke effect have anything to do with him. Even if it is only for the purposes of a fake out.

Of course the game hasn't been announced yet. The teasing done so far by Konami is "plausible deniability."

Pretty standard way to build hype pre-reveal.

What if shutting down PT was all a part of this marketing ploy in the making?

So, assuming this is all real, they should have stopped this ever-growing madness and mindshare of the entire planet by simply announcing the game on Twitter in the middle of the "viral campaign"..

The logic being "proven fake sources=not being posted"?

Not true, we've been doing it since the start and we are on Page 50.

YOKO TARO IS AN OMNIPRESENT GOD, KOJIMA IS JUST A MEDIOCRE DEVELOPER. ON THIS ACCOUNT WE WILL PRAY TO YOKO TARO FOR ETERNITY. WE WILL ALSO BE SIMPS OF HIM.

They also posted pics from unreal engine demos claiming to be the game.

Fake.

I know they are obviously trolling, like all those strange tweets. But You have to follow the clue, like I said, check the channel, ir is the source of those pictures, and I'm sure it is related to Abandoned/silent hill.

Go back several pages, those pictures were already posted here and the YouTube channel was found where the creator has unreal engine videos they were taken from.

People are hard at work validating stuff. It was proven to be fake a while ago.

Edit: They found the assets on other stuff. Besides the plausible one was ages ago and it had consistent ties to the "dev".

I'm going to bed and hope Kojima - wait, i mean Hasan, will drop those pics Dorito Pope promised to provide. Or i'm going on a roadtrip to the Netherlands to send them myself... And eat some fucking bitterballen and frikandel.

Edit: fucking typos, don't drink and post!

Let's say for a moment that Hasan is just a poor small indie dev who unconsciously (sure) brought all of this upon his shoulders. Nothing really stops him from going dark for now, changing studio name and then trying again without all the "negative" hype.
Unless he really wants to capitalize on Kojima hype, but anyone with more than 2 brain cells should know this might not end well.
And if he's just a fraud with nothing to show I think he would back out already.

Abandoned was revealed on the Playstation Blog. Why is Sony putting your game in the spotlight like this?

Hasan: We've been working with Sony since 2015. What happened and how it happened that this game became a PS5 exclusive, I can't reveal as of yet.
Click to expand...

Abandoned got the spotlight because of the Playstation Blog post. That must feel wonderful and unique, but it must also come with a lot of pressure?

Hasan: It was a huge kick! But honestly: we didn't show us from our best side. That will change during the gameplay reveal. We already anticipated that people would assume the reveal would purely consist of cinematic cutscenes. That's why we are releasing a playable teaser alongside the gameplay reveal.

Weirdly enough, after the game reveal people speculated that Abandoned was a Hideo Kojima game. Shorty after you published a statement on your website to fight this misconception. That must have been a weird experience?

Hasan: Yes, we didn't see that coming at all. At the beginning, people got hyped on the Playstation YouTube channel because they were convinced this was a new Kojima-project. People even started messaging us. People on Linkedin started calling me Kojima. It was funny at first, but after a while it got annoying since Kojima was getting the credit for our work. But no worries: the gameplay reveal will explain everything. Well, you never know though, it's the internet after all...
