Not Silent Hill - Abandoned Creator Explains Blue Box's Release History, Promises a Free New Game

What a clown guy and I not talking about Jim Ryan.
Now two games and even with "problems" with that app.
What a shitty studio.
 
Interesting that Kojima is extending this to major media outlets. I guess it's his social commentary on them being nothing but pawns, but journalists hate to be made fools of so this game is probably gonna get slammed in reviews.
 
The studio's earliest project, Rewind: A Paranormal Investigation Game, was put up on Kickstarter, before that campaign was cancelled due to securing private investment. Kahraman says that investment allowed Blue Box to rework the game, retitling it Rewind: Voices of the Past. However, the project grew beyond the young studio's capabilities and, without further investment, it was fully cancelled.

Whisperer did see release on mobile – as a free-to-play game with a $0.99 purchase to turn off ads – but was quickly pulled. Kahraman says the game was removed because it had been made for PC and didn't run well enough on phones.

Kahraman also tells IGN that one of the few games Blue Box had charged customers for – Fatal Frame homage The Haunting: Blood Water Curse – will be finished and released for free ahead of Abandoned's launch. Those who bought the Early Access version will be offered an Abandoned bundle for free as a make-good.

Similarly, Tales of Six Swords – a mobile homage to JRPGs with a far more vibrant style than Blue Box's other projects – was released for free on Android, but subsequently pulled because the company couldn't reach the scale of game it was aiming for with limited file sizes. Kahraman says that, in this case, pulling the game wasn't because Blue Box won't complete it, but because it wants to do the idea justice

The content of that article is pathetic. More moaning about how we are a small studio and we didn't mean this etc. My Kojima sense is fading fast now.

The thing is, he brought a lot of the stuff on himself with the strange tweets and hint like S________L shit
 
He brought it on himself by playing along with stupid teases, which only further fueled the theories.

He deserves to fail and he will. Gamers are a fickle bunch and they'll see that reflected when(I'd say even IF) it releases.
 
I don't know what to think. It sure sounds like an inexperienced studio that don't really know PR, so they're f-king around on Twitter and hyping people in the process.

But how come there are no questions about Silent Hill? Kojima or even the MGS reference? A bit weird talking with the man without bringing it up. Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to set things straight so people can manage their expectations instead of heading for a total disaster?

which is why quite a few people couldn't believe someone could be this ridiculous, wading in to the games industry with very little pedigree and ruffling people up the wrong way. It's truly fascinating the attitude of this guy. I still have my doubts even now what this all is.
 
I'm more surprised about Sony

How they just let this trainwreck unfold in slo-mo without giving a single fuck

Absolutely savage on their part
 
Remember when this was supposed to be the Silent Hill reboot?

Or the the red dead comparison?

Its Sean Murray nms marketing all over again.

I mean fuck, I wanna be in the games industry and I am kinda half making a Horror game in UE4 (and 5 eventually)

Should I now call it "Loud Flats" to build hype, its no different to what Blue Box has done
 
I don't think he is trying to scam people, he is just very inept. He has always sounded to me like a kid posting a Kickstarter for the most realistic MMO.
 
Lets make our own game GAF, I think we can get it out before Blue Box releases anything of worth.

You must have forgotten the bullshit that clown was saying about nms pre launch lol. Like multiplayer for example.

Because he's spent the last few years adding the stuff he lied about, doesn't mean he didn't lie. Settle down warrior.

Some people will really defend anything

It's reminiscent of that scenario, for sure.

Not the same exact thing, but another case of a developer over-promising and trying to keep interest with bologna on a stick tactics.

I mean, Sean Murray had more to show than this guy, but his lies were as big as you could get, so it sort of balances out. Pretending your game has multiplayer, when it is 100% a single player game takes the cheese when it comes to bullshit marketing.

Where did I defend anything? I just told you your comparison is garbage, and everyone reading this knows it is.

Not only do I have no horse in this race, I am literally not even at the race track.

Sure were quick to defend this garbage. Only difference between the two is one actually released something.

But both were con artists.

Thats why I'm still not 100% confident its just an idiot indie developer.

How can someone do something like that and not realize he will fuck his career and reputation?
How can someone be so bad at reading the situation in front of him?

Human stupidity never ceases to amaze and frighten me, we really are doomed
 
Nice to hear more from Mr. Kahraman but I would have liked to see him answer some tougher questions at this point.

They just briefly mentioned the multiple outsourcing studios they've gotten to help them, but we already know one of them is Nuare Studios which has worked on some pretty high profile games. He should have asked him to explain how they started working with Nuare. The CEO of Nuare even posted that Twitter video vouching for him.

He should have been asked to go more in depth with his partnership with Playstation and how the exclusivity agreement came about as well as approval for his PS5 app teaser.

How about the decision to change from open-world to linear in a span of a few months? How far along in the development process is the game if something that major can be altered?

How about him speaking on this project being supposedly on Unreal Engine 5 according to him, and his experience working with it.

If that early video months ago is true in the final game, the guy is using a $40 Unreal asset pack for trees. Someone realized it and posted the link to the store.

Will probably be some shitty horror game with mtx where you roam around in a creepy forest.

Bad example - This is pre-launch... But I guess that tiny detail is easy to slip by when your mind is busy coping the 'litteraly 70 AAA-grade promises' game informer video.

... And just to be provoking: He never said any of those promised features would be ready at launch.

This guy, on the other hand, doesn't have a game at all.
