where the hell did you get all this? also why is the app called abandoned? it would make sense if it was just for konami IP coming back but god of war?

Jeff Grubb and "others" that I talk to said this is one big interactive demo and yes, part of this is they will be showing off things like Silent hill(s), God of war: ragnarok trailer, new MGS remake trailer. This is Hasan's little studio that were contracted to make this which would show off their skills using unreal engine but also make something interactive that does its job in having the community interact. So we will be unlocking parts of the demo that will unveil other titles and their trailers.

So imagine you walking around sections that are named specific things that represent different games.

Some stuff got pushed to my knowledge as in the PlayStation event that goes with this. Think of this as one big viral marketing but it's interactive with its own story that leads you to trailers for other Games that will be revealed one by one throughout the month of September up to Fall.

Some peoples stuff like Call of duty vanguard is suppose to be revealed this week. Dont know if its going to be part of the demo. I dont think it will be, I think hasan's demo is silent hill, mgs, god of war and couple other reveals.

 

[Mr Moose]

Y'all are analyzing a video on a channel that has nothing to do w/ Abandoned.

Prove me wrong. <3

You're right, unless Abandoned is Russian now.
Just some random dude with a camera trying to make it look like it's connected:

I am beginning to doubt the sanity of some of my team real brethren/sisters at this point as well. I’ll be amazed if this is linked.

Hasan/Kojima, whoever you are, for the sake of all of us, hurry up.

[Beelzebubs]

Those artifacts because camera is in night mode...

Kinda looks like they've turned up the ISO to around 1200 to be honest.

 

[GuinGuin]

The shadow of the man is wrong too.
A) there would have to be a second person behind him as the source of light.
B) the shadow is disconnected from the actual position and movement of the person holding the "camera"
C) It is darkening in a flat plane evenly and not just the objects it would realistically be cast on.

That shadow looks flat and not real...

 

[fragganaut]

A car behind the camera guy illuminating the area.

That´s very possible the Main light source. But why doesn‘t the wooden pole Right beside the tree cast a shadow along the direction of the Main light source? This Pole has a very dark weird shadow flying behind

Exactly. Several objects have strange floating shadows that hang in mid air and are dark but not cast on anything and don't change shape or position realistically.

What about their other videos? Are they CG too?




It's real.

 

[tommib]

That looks incredible. So real. If it's being generated real time holy shit...

This just took out all your authority in the graphics department.

It’s clearly rendered and full of low-budget chromatic aberration. Frame rate is total shit - I bet under 24 FPS. Can someone apply a frame-rate counter do the video?

It looks terrible. There’s nothing incredible or realistic about it. Shadows are all a mess with 0 global illumination. Also, the camera movements are super unnatural and shift to odd angles so it’s obviously all scripted and I bet it’s pre-rendered and not real-time.

0 detail in the skybox. It’s night but the sky is blue? All nonsense. To think this looks incredible is hilarious. It’s a shit pre-render from the 90s with super low res textures with barely any detail. Some nice geometry on trees but that’s it. Looks like Nightmare Creatures on PS1.

 

[GuinGuin]

It's real.

They could be fake but what's the relevance? That's not the same youtube account.

 

[cormack12]

Maybe it’s because we use Unreal Engine 5, which is in early access, which is not really recommended for a project like this. But we did it anyway because we needed the features that it had.”

Interesting interview. Specifically needs tech/features in UE5.

What Is Unreal Engine 5 (UE5)? | Perforce Software

Unreal Engine 5 brings technological advancements essential for next-gen consoles, as well as film and animation. Learn more.

www.perforce.com

Nanite and Lumen we know about. So it could be leveraging that. The expansive worlds part is interesting especially as they wanted to go open world and now have reigned it back to a linear style game. Animations doesn't sound right as they are using their own mocap. Metasounds looks like a good use case for the engine as well.

THERE. ARE. 2. LIGHTS.

The shadow is caused because the camera light isn't as strong as the other light. I'm guessing it's a handheld LED light box.

I can tell you that the shadow of the man is being cast from the small light on camera because due to diffusion, the weaker light source is producing a much softer shadow.

If it was coming from 1 source of light, the shadow would be much darker and more defined.

It's not. Because there are 2 lights........
I would guess 3 people filming. One with the strong LED light. One with the camera and another random dude.

It looks like every film student horror short I've ever seen.....

If it looks so awful then why have I spent the last few hours arguing with people that think it is 100% real footage? Clearly it's good enough to convince many people that it's actual video.

Cameras do weird things.. including video cameras, espcially with massive contrast like a brightly lit headstone and a much darker background.. the camera struggles to capture the light around the brightly lit object.

But again.. explain how any of this has to do with ABandoned?

Because lots of cameras are dog shit in the dark, they get really grainy.


The guy is looking through a window of a pub or something (pool hall?), you can see people walking by while talking reflected in the glass.

Or...get this....they're all handheld camera footage.

Jeff Grubb and "others" that I talk to said this is one big interactive demo and yes, part of this is they will be showing off things like Silent hill(s), God of war: ragnarok trailer, new MGS remake trailer. This is Hasan's little studio that were contracted to make this which would show off their skills using unreal engine but also make something interactive that does its job in having the community interact. So we will be unlocking parts of the demo that will unveil other titles and their trailers.

So imagine you walking around sections that are named specific things that represent different games.

Some stuff got pushed to my knowledge as in the PlayStation event that goes with this. Think of this as one big viral marketing but it's interactive with its own story that leads you to trailers for other Games that will be revealed one by one throughout the month of September up to Fall.

Some peoples stuff like Call of duty vanguard is suppose to be revealed this week. Dont know if its going to be part of the demo. I dont think it will be, I think hasan's demo is silent hill, mgs, god of war and couple other reveals.

Yup, they proved nothing. If this was all one big ruse of some indie developer getting in over his head Sony would have shut shit down if he was working on his own. 100% Geoff knows whats up.

Also I believe Grubb knows some of the same people in certain circles like Keighley.

I mean if this is all one big ruse the guy is done in terms of having anyone giving shit about him. Also there some things about this timeline that line up with some involvement with Kojima back in 2015.

I wont take a perm, I've been here almost as long as you have, and I find that unfair.

Am having some fun and you and your co-hart are kind of being assholes in your replies.

My whole point is this guy Hasan's BS seems like one big troll from 2015. No one lost money from one of his "unfinished" games. My thing is this would have got shut down by Sony with a disclaimer, I guess if Sony doesnt answer then we have our answer that there is more to this regardless of what resetera says.

So..., Where we at now? The interactive trailer came out?
