For those doubting the graphics earlier, here's some direct feed.
The textures are crazy, and if you look at the second and third image you can see his jeans actually crease when walking.

This might just end up being the best looking game ever.

This is insane to watch.

As the truth becomes more and more obvious, believers are split in two groups: the most detatched/rational ones, who are not deep enough into the rabbit hole yet, start leaving, and only the most fanatical are left.

Reading the room, as an instinctual response the latter also become more aggressive and boastful, to create a collective wall between themselves and the perceived threat to their belief. You are either with them or you are stupid, secretly scared of the "obvious truth" and not worth even listening to.

As this goes on, the believers will be left few in number but unshakeable in faith, in their bubble of their own creation. They will be trapped in a perennial eco chamber dictated by a sunk cost fallacy that prevents them from even entertaining the possibility of being wrong.

If this were about politics or religion instead of video games, next thing you know in a few years' time we'd read the news of a sect called the "Kojima Truthers" who bombed the Parliament to kill the representatives of the "secret global elite of the Hasanians" (who "want to keep the sheep people shackled by preventing Kojima from rising to his legitimate role of World Emperor"), or alteranetively committed collective suicide on the anniversary of PT's release to let their spirirs be carried on the earthly paradise of Planet Kojima V.

• More than 7 outsourcing studios are helping on Abandoned game
• The reveal is going to be via an app on ps5
• no indie studio have ever got the balls to do like these moves unless they hiding something that worth the wait!
• Something Better than a P.T

Ok I'm going to say it while I'm not believing in it but those fuckers has something wild back there

Would be funny if Team Fake weren't the aggressive ones....

Someone should be doing studies on this. It’s remarkable.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

No it used a song from a band Kojima keeps tweeting about

It’s a royalty-free track available to use in whatever you want, that’s why he used it. It’s free

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

I'm #TeamReal and won't change in spite of any new evidence forthcoming.

team real in a nutshell.

The world is a never ending Rorschach test for team real, and every single inkblot looks like Kojima.

 

[lh032]

cant wait for SH to9 be revealed, had enough of these team fakes.

Now that’s really impressive….

The choice of music is really good…. I mean is like I was trying to focus on the sounds of the character or the surroundings but the music was like playing tricks on my head, I was hearing others sounds because of the music…don’t know how to explain.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Guys has this been posted already?

EDIT: Oh shit I posted it myself.

Its the same MO each time but I wonder what his play is. Perhaps duping private investors, keeping them on a leash? Or does he profit off government money? I do know gaming startups get funded in this country, because they acknowledge gaming as a huge market nowadays.

its hilarious how you're STILL here whining about how wrong team fake are yet the conclusion hasnt been revealed and you're here writing your 500 word essays just to be a DICK. you really dont have to get involved if you dont believe in this shit and let people discuss their theories (who cares if its nuts? its not fact until proven anyways so calm down!) but you wanna crash the party because you were always bullied at them. this is your fun and its quite sad.

If this is the government funding situation,why would the government keep funding some guy whos never released a product? Unless Hasan is somehow much more of a silver tongue in Dutch than he is in English I doubt any private investors would fund it.

 

[GrayChild]

Longer-form, Geoff?

 

[rofif]

If it takes at least 5 hours for Sony to process a patch and you can't have specific time for it...
Then his promise on Tuesday was not possible. So it was 100% planned

 

[Withnail]

Not sure about the cost but it does cost them
They also charge for Playstation.blog spotlight like this

https://blog.playstation.com/2021/04/07/abandoned-a-cinematic-survival-sim-hits-ps5-later-this-year/amp/p/

This is why people assumed it was connected Playstation.
Either way, Bluebox paid for that and they've paid for other stuff too
But this all to be trending on tweeter?
because they won't get anything else out of this scam
Even the teaser, people are quick to jump on it's fake because the music track is from a band in 2007, yep isn't that what Kojima does these days?
Death Stranding whole sound track was from obscure bands that had released those tracks years before hand.
I just find it shocking that Playstation apparently know nothing about the game
Yet they are not oblivious to it and neither are other people in the game industry.
They're just not saying shit, and that's what's weird.
Not saying it's real, but it is odd and makes zero sense.

If you make your game exclusive to PlayStation you get a blog post or two and featured on PS YouTube channel etc. That's the "payment" that people usually (incorrectly) describe as a moneyhat.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Still Live and going ?

At this rate The Elder Scroll VI will come up before this game

 

[GrayChild]

Well, Shu still has the app installed:

yeah, a 100% planned scam

 

[rofif]

yeah, a 100% planned scam

How is it a scam of they are not taking preorders or KS?

 

[ParaSeoul]

How is it a scam of they are not taking preorders or KS?

Weren't you on the scam train ?

 

[bitbydeath]

Lol. Best looking game ever.

Yes, zoom in if you’re looking on you’re phone. The textures are Unreal 5 quality, the first demo.

 

[420bits]

Just because you don't charge consumers for your product doesnt mean its not a scam.

He could get money from investors based on a false promise.
Gain fame and hype over nothing to grow his brand.

And based on his trackrecord... Its a scam.

edit: typo

 

[Withnail]

Sony will obviously allow you to embargo release of a game or patch to a specific time.

The patch could have been ready to go on Tuesday but BlueBox Games spotted a graphical issue and pulled it. Sony certification doesn't care about graphical issues, they're just checking that the game has correct controller prompts, things like that.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Yes, zoom in if you’re looking on you’re phone. The textures are Unreal 5 quality, the first demo.

I’m sure they are, because it was made in Unreal 5 using free assets.

 

[SJRB]

Are we gonna pretend creases in clothing is some next level feature when GTAV had this back in 2013?

 

[bitbydeath]

I’m sure they are, because it was made in Unreal 5 using free assets.

The original demo was, this one didn’t say it’s using Unreal.

 

[ParaSeoul]

wasn't that cut?

 

[GHG]

Well, Shu still has the app installed:

He also has the best game if last year installed, which everyone should play by the way.

 

[ParaSeoul]

The original demo was, this one didn’t say it’s using Unreal.

Yeah I'm pretty sure we'd have to see the Unreal logo at the start if it was

 

[ParaSeoul]

We need one of the Digital Foundry guys to look at the footage

 

[bitbydeath]

They have creases in clothing but they didn’t change based on movement.
Eg.

Also seeing it in realistic graphics is a whole new ballgame.

 

[FrozenFlame]

Colin Moriarty raises a valid question.

Team fake, why is this a ps5 exclusive?

I don't get it, how is that relevant? Orphan of the Machine is a Xbox Series exclusive. Doesn't mean it's this ARG for an actual AAA Eco the Dolphin.

 

[Ramz87]

The reply from Geoff..

 

[GHG]

We need one of the Digital Foundry guys to look at the footage

There's nothing to go off yet.

I think they would be wise to wait until the full trailer is revealed (for whatever it is) before deciding whether it's worth putting together an analysis video for it.

 

[bitbydeath]

Yeah I'm pretty sure we'd have to see the Unreal logo at the start if it was

Yeah, I would’ve thought so too.

 

[Tomeru]

So it was nothing?

 

[SuperColourful]

Lol

 

[GHG]

Lol

 

[RaySoft]

This is a marathon, not a sprint..
Patience is a virtue, my man.

 

[cormack12]

The trailer looks half decent but it looks 'gamey' on a really good floor texture. Similar to how the protag of the Medium looked layered on top of some of the scenes, despite the backgrounds generally being really good.

I'm curious but that trailer makes me believe more it is actually an indie game. It doesn't have the same sort of cohesion and art direction the bigger titles do and that disparity between the environment and character doesn't make me think we're seeing anything amazing.

Don't forget bright memory infinite is a one man team using stock assets:

Redirect Notice

And that's not even thinking about games like Ethan Carter from last gen which also looked astounding for their time.

 

[GuinGuin]

He also has the best game if last year installed, which everyone should play by the way.

I'm sure he has Tlou2 installed but I don't see it.

 

[bitbydeath]

Lol

If they were indie he’d know.

 

[ParaSeoul]

they could probably look at it during their podcast

 

[The Cartographer]

I just checked and this sketchy marketing campaign started more than two months ago.
I do believe that Abandoned is one of Konami's new Silent Hill projects but I also think that this will game will obviously be w/o Kojima.

 

[GuinGuin]

Definitely not something you would expect from an asset flip...

 

[Badlucktroll]

I know the whole outfit piece is kind of a reach since its such a generic outfit

But it does look similar if you really look at it, even the colours

Blue Point SH2 Remaster incoming?
Credit: Some reddit thread

Yeah i think it looks like a remaster of SH2. I could see Konami doing it, after the success of the Resident Evil remakes. Make alot of money off fans.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Its definitely something,

 

[Badlucktroll]

If it is a SH2 remake, and can already hear the complaints. “Pyramid head looks wrong, hes too big, the combat is worse,” ect

Both were unreal though,we don't what the Abandoned footage is running on. There was no Unreal logo on the app.
