It really was so sad when they cancelled it. It also sucked when Konami removed it from the Playstation store. Every few months I’ll be sitting around doing something unrelated when my brain is like “member P.T.?” ah… At least we got to experience this playable teaser before it was all canned.
We were robbed of a potential masterpiece of horror media.
I eat horror for breakfast, it’s one of my favourite genres. Games, movies, novels, comics, you name it. Playing P.T. for the first time was the most unsettling, paranoid, anxiety inducing experience I have ever had in the genre. And the almost hysterical community at the time trying to piece together this demented puzzle was an extra layer of mystery and madness.
Ultimately we don’t know what the finished product would have been like, but I have a hard time imagining anything else but a master class in horror.
Kojimas new horror game OD will likely be good, I’m sure. But you can only do a game like P.T. once, and that boat has sailed.
Looking forward to this one. The original trailer kind of had me worried at first but it’s a nice surprise to see it reviewing so well. Youtubers who got it early are loving it too, which is promising. If the game does well I hope Konami doesn’t squander it, imagine entering a new age of silent hill and it’s actually good again.
Sort of off topic, it would be a great end of the year treat if both this game and Dragon Age manage to surprise everyone.
