Good. If Hasan wants to play stupid games than he can lose all the money and non available reputation for all I care.

I hope Sony goes ahead with announcing their next event, PSX next Thursday so that some of y'all see some REAL games. And later in a tweet saying that they are not partners or promoting this G*R*I*F*T and going ahead and plugging the plug off of it, leaving only shitty PC port on Steam...

Yet we can’t find any directory or social media footprint for ANYONE that works there.
The most secretive Indy dev ever that somehow got a PS.blog spot. Unprecedented, really!
Even if it’s none of these “things lining up” in the end, the whole thing surrounding this has been strange as fuck, and not one person, IP holder, PR, even these almost forced gaming journalist responses, have sufficiently explained a thing.
Shit’s whack.

a sole prop that has sold nothing....you can't devastate them if they have nothing to start with....
oh but wait...you're going to devastate them because they are real with 7 studios helping and 50 plus studio staff (who are all anonymous and don't appear to be working for Blue Box anywhere you'd expect to find them)...you'd think they'd go to real journalists via video to protect what they have built if it was going to be so devastating to lose it all....instead of these Willy Wonka please stop protests while fanning flames themselves via twitter.

I wouldn't feel bad for them at all. This could have been over and done with a while ago. All this guy would have had to do is contact Geoff Keighley, which supposedly already happened, and ask him to spread the word that this is definitely not some marketing stunt. He could have provided him any number of things for Geoff to confidently state that this is not what people think it is and help get word around to make sure this gets squashed. He was supposed to provide him with evidence and instead ghosted him. That is, of course, assuming this isn't a stunt and Geoff isn't in on it. Geoff himself being a bit dodgy on this.
Other entities being involved in this could have come out and directly denied anything and yet there is silence. Nothing from Kojima. Nothing from Yoshida. And you've got Konami over here suddenly promoting Silent Hill merch and teasing something is coming. Articles are being written about this. This guy has his company tweet for people to guess the real name of Abandoned that begins with S and ends with L. Whoever this is, they know damn well what they're doing. If it's really just some little indie game this studio deserves to get raked over the coals for it.

Oh dear. The delay rather indicates Hasan is just a grifter.
Hope Sony are taking note of all of this.

Devastate them economically how? If they actually have a hype app for the PS5, they've got an IP that Sony thinks is worth giving that kind of thing to. The game will live or die on its own merits. No one is going to care that it wasn't Kojima, if the product is quality.
That said, there's nothing to worry about, because Kojima is involved. Kahraman = Hideo.

Strangeness is coming from the people hyping it up -> Stupidly eating up all the Dorito King hype, the most ultra uber hypeman that ever lived like you know nothing of how he shines a light on the smallest things and making them look like mountains or continents in the gaming industry. Shit's on all y'all.
People volunteered their time in going through stupid numbers to find meaning and 27... have you not watched The Number 23 and not know how idiotic that is?

There aren't folks. Its one guy with a past of shady game development and start ups.
On linkedin he has a connection with the head of Dutch Game Garden, which provides sort of support for starters and indies. Think of working spaces for flexible fees. They also provide masterclasses on development etc. Vlambeer was also tied to this foundation.
Hideo thought of everything.

The naysayers are taking this way too seriously.
Most of us hyping are just meme’ing the shit out of this and made it abundantly clear in several posts in this thread that we didn’t care about the outcome, that it was all about the journey. And we had one hell of a great time in this thread; across the internet in gaming pop culture history.
My point still stands. What is going on is unprecedented with how quick platform holders shut shit down in current year, separate from the outcome.

I mean shit if nothing else this should show Sony, Konami, and Kojima just how badly people want this to be a reality.

So dramatic lmao.
If they are a legit company then I sincerely hope the guy is making money from other sources and that this is just a side hustle for him.
Because based on what they've put out over the last 5 years of existence I don't see how any of it has made money.
You can't be "devastated" economically if you never had any money to start with.

I personally asked an indie dev friend from Netherlands and told me nobody in their indie scene -which isn't so huge- seems to know Blue Box or their devs. Not sure but I'd bet my friend was in the Dutch Game Garden or at least knows them.
It's very unlikely that a single, unknown guy created all this whole show, many coincidences (like the Netherlands logo in Death Stranding Director's Cut trailer), Geoff involved on it, getting the PS5 stuff from Sony, etc. Maybe it isn't a new Silent Hill game, maybe isn't MGS by Bluepoint, maybe Kojima isn't involved on it, but I think there's something special here, it's for PS5 and Kojima is involved. I'd bet it's a PT like demo for Death Strainding Director's Cut, totally unrelated to the game itself or even a tiny standalone game experience.
If Sony/Kojima/Konami wanted to create a company for PR stunt and to shut it down after a few months it shouldn't be devastating for them, just need to have a guy there.

Well the thing is Rami, is that its hard to feel sorry for a team that did nothing to quell the rumors and put out a tweet saying "First Letter S, last letter L"
Fuck this guy is such a dick, he never even finished his own game and yet he keeps getting on Podcasts and stuff, one to talk about grifting

Hi there again, I have a news for you: this is not possible. Here's the proof:
This guy is the founder/CTO of CreateQ, so your theory is wrong. And don't tell me they just slapped an Astrobot lookalike in the picture from elsewhere just because!
Any other reasonable explanation for this picture is welcomed tough:

Sadly, the video games industry rarely actually listens to what fans want. In an age of mtx, mobile, multiplayer and GaaS shit, the chances of them paying any attention is slim.

Yep. He’s deliberately obfuscated about the whole thing, at a time when gamers are already pretty annoyed with game companies feeding them bullshit, and not being transparent.

This company has mismanaged so much so if it's just coincidence that they happen to have silent hill gear rolling out while this is happening.. well .. that's hilarious because they seem like a stuffy company that would take 2 years to make any decision.
Amazing how many people in that thread haven't been banned given the age.
Stay strong.
