Confirmed by Kojima that it is a PUZZLE. It is not random.

 

[Magnus]

Isn't this mass-communication and internet group solving mechanism achieved by PT exactly what Peter Molyneux was trying to do with some of his recent projects? lol

 

[Chabbles]

My very first NOPE moment.

It brought a smile to my face + shiver down my spin.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

PT trailer rolling hahahah

 

[Permanently A]

AHAHA THEY'RE LEAKING IT THEMSELVES

 

[SkylineRKR]

Its probably a bit like Reptile in MK1. Circumstances need to be right. Like color of room, clock being off, ghost possessing you after you've seen her outside of the window... such stuff.

 

[Bluforce]

First half of P.T. is awesome.

Second half is boring.

I give up and watch the ending on YouTube.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

NOPE.

NOPE.

I am not watching this.

Edit: Phew.

Confirmed by Kojima that it is a PUZZLE. It is not random.

Then every action taken from the beginning of the game must be taken into account, not just doing stuff in the right order in the last area. Wouldn't be surprised if this thing was unbeatable if you didn't take the right steps from the beginning, given the "chosen one" message.

 

[Vidpixel]

Gosh, I hate scare cams so much. So over-the-top and cheesy.

This is what I start to think as well.

The game auto saves and doesnt let you start at the beginning. No way that is the case. It always starts at the start of the infinite loop before you collect the picture pieces. It needs to be solved from that part on.

 

[luca_29_bg]

there's a full walktrough on youtube with no voice over ?

 

[Magnus]

"Start of the infinite loop" confuses me. Isn't the entire thing the loop? lol

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Kojima also said that the final puzzle is completely ridiculous, and it's intentionally difficult. He initially expected it to take a week to be solved.

Screw that crap. To me making something that ridiculous to solve is not a good way to sell your game. I liked the teaser until that point but now it's honestly put me off to the game at least until after folks play it and confirm that there aren't any bullshit puzzles like that in it.

We can rule out the picture puzzle then. I've seen people not doing it.

 

[RyanPierre]

The quality was intentionally dropped from this playable teaser to make it look like another developer.

Wow, and I thought it looked really good.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Okay, red loop help without spoiling it? Anybody?

 

[MiamiWesker]

"Start of the infinite loop" confuses me. Isn't the entire thing the loop? lol

There are different major loops,the infinite loop is the final one. Its after all the really creppy stuff. The last loop is just the bell toll and the ghost appearing.

 

[Eterniti]

Kojima: "We purposely had to drop the quality of the game so it looks like an independent game."

News flash, Kojima. The game looks fantasatic.

 

[SexyFish]

I'm ready to shit my pants, Kojima.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Kojima wants me to shit my pants, confirmed.

 

[MiamiWesker]

We can rule out the picture puzzle then. I've seen people not doing it.

Yeah it doesnt matter. For sure its something with baby giggles and the phone.

 

[sjay1994]

My pants will be filled with shit.

There was no game to sell until someone actually beat it. This teaser has nothing to do with the full game. Again, it was meant to be super obtuse so that it'd actually take a while for someone to crack it.

 

[Shin-Ra]

They forgot to change the options screen styling from MGSV though!

 

[vypek]

Okay, red loop help without spoiling it? Anybody?

Something is visibly out of place. Find where it used to be and investigate.

I hope that is vague enough

 

[RyanPierre]

They don't care if it's too scary that people stop playing, they're making it as scary as possible. That's awesome, but also terrifying.

 

[ScribbleD]

Confirmed by Kojima that it is a PUZZLE. It is not random.

It's a puzzle with dozens and dozens of solutions? It sounds more like Kojima being Kojima, or "solve" is the best approximation the translator can come up with. I'm really struggling to believe that people have "solved" it so many different ways, none of which can be replicated by others. This isn't like a traditional SH puzzle where the solution may be random, but the method for arriving at the solution is consistent. Everything about this is inconsistent.

Limited Pampers Edition confirmed

 

[XaosWolf]

6 times she appears, and the last baby cry seems to be after the last visit.

Stared at picture, radio, phrase, clock, mirror. Did not stare at the last phrase though

I'm starting to think you just sit there and get through a certain number of appearances without looping or getting caught. First baby cry triggered at about the third appearance while looking at phone

Edit: HAHA you said the same at the end.

It didn't seem to work though. D=\

Kept getting one giggle and then nothing much else.
The second giggle is the worst.

True, what I meant was that people were not chosen or some crazy bullshit like that. Everyone can beat the game equally.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yeah it doesnt matter. For sure its something with baby giggles and the phone.

One thing I did find out, was that when I entered the room with the clock being out and sat out the ghost appearance, the giggle would always appear at the Phone. But just never a second one.

 

[vypek]

Limited Pampers Edition confirmed

I'd find it hilarious if one of the purchasing options for the game was a bundle literally came with a diaper

 

[RyanPierre]

Did anyone catch the meaning of "7780s Studio"? I didn't understand what he said.

 

[teiresias]

Kojima: "Last puzzle is intentionally difficult. He expected a week to take."

Wow.

Wow.


WOW!

Fucking Kojima.

That's a lie. It's random, full stop, has to be.

[Cudder]

I kinda believe getting the solution has nothing to do with the objects in the world. The solution could be as obtuse and weird as "player must take 10 steps before reaching the radio area, then take 2 steps backwards, then take 15 steps to get to the phone area." There's some weird algorithm like that at work behind the scenes. If it had anything to specifically do with the objects in the hallway we'd have a way to replicate the end game without fail. We have multiple videos of people beating it and we still can't get a fire proof solution.

 

[dreamfall]

We gotta figure out this last puzzle!

Maybe the numbers are about the steps. You do hear her footsteps when possessed.

This is a stretch, but there has to be something.

 

[bananafactory]

So wait - there IS a sequence to trigger the ending? It's not random?

Bullshit. It has to be.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bullshit. It has to be.

Time to watch all videos and see what people did? There has to be one major pattern, and sound bites are the most common thing I can think of.

There must be more to this crying baby.

 

[Quirah]

Is there any link for trailer that shown at Kojima's conference? It was extended version I guess and pretty impressive.

 

[vypek]

We gotta figure out this last puzzle!

I think we can do this. So what do we know so far about the last puzzle? (Correct if I am wrong)

-There is something with the radio
-2 baby giggles come before a phone ring
-There is something with the mirror
-Ghost can possess or kill you
-There is a way to consistently see the ghost
-Clock can actually hit midnight
-You can change the color of flashlight

Am I missing something or get anything wrong?

 

[Revolutionary]

Anyone compiling a list of the words that flash on the screen? Kojima made it seem like that was important in figuring it out.

I did nothing with radio or mirror and didn't see the ghost when I beat it *shrugs*

 

[Wanchan]

Did anyone catch the meaning of "7780s Studio"? I didn't understand what he said.

7780 is the area size of Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan (7780 Km²), it was a silent hill hint for japanese audience cause "Silent Hill" was often called "Shizuoka" in Japan cause Shizu = Silent, Oka = Hill.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

My pants will be filled with shit.

You can play it on vita directly on toilet.

 

[Nuborn]

Nobody translated the text that pops up when you find each piece of the picture, that would have probably given us clues.

Sucks that somebody basically stumbled into solving it without realising, could have been cool.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I had the baby giggle a few times during the ghost sequence, during walking closely where she was. Not looking at objects.
