S______L for PS5 to be revealed soon (The dedicated blueballs/Kojima 'conspiracy' thread)

Well, not on social media but we do have a photo of him.
He accepted people on PSN (a very old account) and let you see what he does there. People also spoke with him on the phone and said he's fluent german.
He's obviously real, the real question is if he's really just what he claims to be or more like:
Problem is we still don't know who Mogren was, his real name nor what he looked like, understandably so.
About Hasan we already know his name, we know where he lives and we've seen his face.
If Sony are part of the whole ruse, wouldn't it be easy for them to create an account having fake registration date?
Besides, the interviewee may be someone with a different name who's just playing the role of Hasan. Similar to "Joakim" (an anagram of Kojima).

Kind of a strange thing to say in a thread where we all admit that we've embraced crazy, but...don't feed the trolls.
This is a case where the crazy people clearly get it.

Well, anything is possible. Just seems a bit unlikely to me at this point.

I get what you’re saying, but isn’t his PSN account ( the only confirmed presence he has online) really suspicious? The Demon’s Blood game that doesn’t exist? The amount of trophies he has?
Any one of these things you can put down to coincidence, but the more the coincidences rack up, the more it seems like something is going on…

A few things to consider:
Taken at his word, this isn't an especially small project. 50+ core staff plus outsourcers is a decent team-size. Especially if there's not too much bespoke work being done on the engine side.
Speaking of engines, its interesting that the trailers are always UE branded. Which you'd think would be a solid tell that neither Guerilla nor Kojima is behind it given that they'd be using Decima.
On the other hand they have always stated that the game itself hasn't been shown yet, which could imply that the promo footage has been quickly knocked up based on a few assets in order to create a false impression.
All things being equal, Decima seems a better fit for the sort of game that's allegedly being made than UE also. We know geographically they are supposedly close to Guerilla, who are also known to have some sort of outsource support team already... Add to this Blue Box's alleged long involvement with Sony, and the target platform being PS5 and likely PC and you could imagine that the single best reason to hide the use of Decima is to prevent assumptions of connection being made...
One last thing:
Blue in Blue Box being an acronym for "Best Level User Experience" strikes me as extremely dubious. Aside from the wording itself being clunky and ungrammatical if that was the intention wouldn't it be communicated more obviously in the logo? This all seems really on the nose to me.

If Sony buys, or bought Konami, wouldn’t they just sell off those side buisnesses to get some of their money back?

Konami’s much bigger than gaming, at most they’d only buy the gaming portion, if not the direct IP’s. I expect they only did a deal for temporary rights.

Hideo Kojima's Fox Engine Abandoned By Konami For Unreal Engine 5
Kojima's old engine is being scrapped by Konami.

All according to keikaku.

Harlequin is a popular and traditional Italian art comedy masked character whose life is based on lies and deception.
The Silent Wife... Joe Hill's short story.
And Kojima loves Italy. He also said that Death Stranding was appreciated especially by Italians and French.

At first I was under the impression that Blue Box knew exactly what they were doing, which led me to the conclusion this was a really shitty tactic and they deserved the monumental backlash coming their way.
After catching up with everything that happened, I can't help but feel sorry for them. From the start (the first trailer), people were already associating this game with Hideo Kojima without any evidence at all, and Blue Box were relatively quick to shut down those rumors. They also denied involvment with Konami, Silent Hill and Kojima right after the whole S...L thing, but people simply refuse to believe. It doesn't matter what they do or say right now, people are already conviced and finding 'hidden messages' and number patterns where they want to. It has snowballed out of control.
In my opinion, this is an indie studio that is in a position of simply not knowing what to do now.
I hope I'm wrong though... I hope this is Kojima, because I'd love to play a new Silent Hill, and I would hate to see this Hasan guy being lynched by the fans.

You could very well be right, but the thing that makes it all sound so fishy to me is how bad Blue Box Games Studios‘s online platform is. First of all, they seem to have absolutely zero social media presence for anyone involved. We can’t even find the names of the other staff members. The only name we have is Hasan Kharaman. Also, there’s very little evidence that the games they are purported to have created actually exist. No one can find anything else about them anywhere. It feels like a very convoluted shell company, with just enough information given to make it sound plausible. How many indie devs do you know who only follow six people on Twitter?
And for me, the biggest tell is that this small indie company are getting this high profile app download real time trailer thing on Playstation 5? Even the big first party devs haven’t used this kind of new technology. Why would it be given to a small indie team with an unknown IP?
As I say, you could very well be right, and all of this is just some weird series of coincidences and confirmation biases… but, then again…

Where are the pictures from Geoff then? Why tweet something like that?
Nothing can convince people so just don't try to convince them I guess? Hasan and his game is real but everyone is so secretive and can't say anything? This is just dumb, if they are really a small indie studio they are acting dumb and they deserve the backlash.

No need to buy anything, just license the IP with options for exclusivity and extensions to that. Its a win-win for all concerned.

There’s more than enough evidence out there that already proves without doubt, Blue Box aren’t a small indie studio. I don’t know why anyone would even bother entertaining the idea unless they aren’t privy to all that’s been discovered.

Exactly. In fact, Geoff Keighley's reaction to the announcement way back in April showed that this won't be an ordinary indie horror title:

Blue Box is an empty shell, it’s not a small Indie developer it’s a Potemkin village.

Blue Box are an empty shell for sure. Their addresses aren't office spaces. The guy and studio are impossible to reach for renowned journalists in the region, yet some randoms claim they whatsapp with the dude for hours. Gamekings, which are seasoned (25+ years) dutch gaming journalists with lots of connections, never heard of Blue Box studios before. They saw the chamber of commerce entry, but honestly anyone with half a brain can sign up.

We know for a fact that this awful looking game is really made by Hasan as CREATEQ, as already proved in the Thread.
If whatever we are going to see the 22nd looks leagues ahead of this, and is not made of UE $35 assets, then something is definitely going on.
Outside of GameSpot and IGN, he also released an interview with a german outlet in April, and iirc another one recently.

A small indie studio with an upcoming PS5 app, showing trailers in real-time. Something brand new, that not a single major studio have done yet.
And how did they manage to introduce their miserable looking trailer via Sony? They could simply make an introduction video of themselves and their studio, to debunk the conspiracy - heck, even just a video of "Hasan" apologizing for the Silent Hill tweet. I guess he's not a trustworthy actor, ey?

So.. Blue Box, a Pet Store, a Clothing Shop, a "library", three are down e one is a 18+ kind of site..
This one is located in Turkey, and owns each of those domains.
Blue Box is there..
Also LMAO at the amount of turkish avatars on that Forum.
I'm very familiar with that place, such a shame to read their concerns about being blacklisted by Era for racism.

For him? Yes it is hard. This is the worse thing in video games for him. Imagine if all the attention from E3 became this announcement and not his beloved games that he's in to.

Whether this turns out to be a massive Kojima ARG, or just a trolling indie developer, one thing is certain: this whole thing has completely trampled over any post E3 buzz - deservedly so, given how fucking weak E3 was this year.

Yes.
