That can't happen because PT represents the high water mark for horror. Amnesia, Outlast, Dead Space, Slender etc etc. Silent Hill came back and brought its toys with it and everything else was put to shame.

Just for a frame of reference, is there currently a way to play P.T. on a PS4?

If you already have it installed in your PS4, you can totally still play it.
Otherwise, does anyone know if Shareplay works with P.T?

my cake, fuck off
Damn, wish I had downloaded PT when it was available. Just playing this little bit gave me a good scare.

This recreation serves as a reminder that the lightening work of the Fox Engine is amazing. Tells you how much the environment makes for suspense and the feeling of the setting. It also serves as a reminder to support Allison Road as Face said!
Please. PT is a hallway. Its no System Shock or Fatal Frame and its not Silent Hill.

Wow, this is actually very impressive.

Impressive, but still an imitation.
Anyone think an actual dumped and emulated version of PT will be available at some time in the future, or is it just lost forever?

Only one way to find out. I have P.T on my PS4 anyone want to try shareplay it?
On topic I think the corridor is a bit wide in this.

The developer should've chose UE4 to get a more accurate representation of PT. This recreation doesn't look bad, but the lighting and shader effects are still a big step down from the FOX Engine.
They disabled it IIRC.

Publicly slaying Silent Hill and MGS has created salt reserves that'll probably last forever. And it's been a much longer fall depending on how much of fan you are of the numerous IPs they've been swallowing whole since the PS2 era, outside of MGS. Castlevania fans are nodding their heads like "yep" right now.
luckily, many of those IPs are loaded with timelessly fun games, which they can't take away (though they fucking would if they could, apparently.)
Good question, lol.

I have PT on my PS4, as it used to be my friend's and he downloaded the game before it got pulled. It have the game "bought" on my account, but not downloaded under my name. I have played through the whole thing on my account. If I delete his profile, will it delete the game? I kinda don't want to risk it but it's also annoying having so many profiles on one system.

I'm genuinely surprised no one has tried to directly pull the assets straight from the console. It would be a nightmarish process, but the Fox Engine tech is arguably accessible through the PC copies of Ground Zeroes and/or Phantom Pain. Critical reception has been extremely high for the demo so I'm curious to see if anyone has tried to preserve the experience for future gens through reverse engineering.
I feel that P.T. loses all its effectiveness when its not photorealistic. Missing quite a lot of detail in a lot of ways from the PS4 version. The detail & realism MAKE the experience.
The effort is fine, but let's be realistic. This cannot replace the original. With a bit more work, sure.

I have to say, extremely impressive result, especially for one man.
I also think that it doesn't capture the atmosphere of PT at all. The photorealistic look was what sold the "horror", since everything was so tense and detailed. Just recreating similar geometry isn't going to have the same effect.

How close are the graphics with the PS4 version? I think it looks pretty average on my PC. I see other indie games like Layer of Fear and even that looks much better than this recreation.
I'm asking because i remember people going nuts over how amazing P.T looks. I only saw pictures and Youtube videos but, you know, can judge from that.

I thought the goal would of been passed ages ago.
Bull. It's pure atmosphere. System Shock and Fatal Frame aren't exactly relevant comparisons given the timeframe I alluded to either, so I'm not sure you got my point.
Hiding in a wardrobe is a truly cerebral experience.
I'm a Silent Hill freak and I'm not funding it. It's not what I want, you know? It's an indie game that's aping a teaser (PT) for a different kind of game. Yeah, the teaser was great, but that's because of how it was directed. Its facade was still that of every indie horror game ever. You can't emulate the facade. You have to do something special underneath at every step, like Kojima and del Toro did. And I saw the demo of Alison Road. It's an indie game trying to be PT trying to be an indie game.
So, anyway. There you go.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I think, by putting into words my dissatisfaction with the overall situation, you've convinced me that I had negative feelings towards this project that had nothing to do with the merits of the project. I'm going in.
I'd rather whatever lives on from P.T. be something from, and for the benefit of, the people who loved the thing.
Just #fuckKonami goddamit.
It has everything to do with the merits of the project. If you don't absolutely hit it out of the park with masterful direction, it will be just another indie horror game. And I saw the demo's approach. It sort of had the skin of PT, but not the core.
Could it change and become the creature all the way on the right? Best case, maybe close. But Kojima and del Toro are prized creative commodities for a reason. Unless Allison Road is on that level, all you might be left with is a feeling of emptiness, and an even greater desire for PT's return.

You sound like my prime minister.
If 'PUNITY' does anything, it's that it proves how good an engine FOX is, even if it's only for it's amazing visual capabilities. The Unity version of the hallway is just completely 'off'. It's almost not scary at all... and this coming from someone who gets scared thinking about that hallway at night.

Konami should sell P.T on Halloween if they want to make some quick cash and carry on ruining their reputation in fantastic style.

I don't think that's really the best way to compare engines when one project was worked on by top level professionals under Kojima while the other is a fan recreation by people who I seriously doubt have access to the same level of resources a real developer would.

I'm pretty sure KojiPro would do the same thing with the unity engine if he had to. Its not the engines that make the games, it's the professionals (or amateurs) behind them.
Also, have a look at the graphics of Layers Of Fear. You won't be disappointed.
