We are all doing alot of assumption here. Do we know what a Playstation partnership looks like? And how it compares to being a 3rd party developer creating a Playstation Studio game.
Personally assuming that PlayStation Studio is a closer relationship than PlayStation Partner.
Also you said that PlayStation was the publisher, that's the bit I was double checking. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of that currently.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is Cerny

Yeah...Playstation Partners isn't a big deal, at all. They take anything and everything.

There's no discussion, that requires both sides to present worthwhile arguments, I presented factual proof, they just trolled or pushed their insane weakass theories to be shredded by many sane people.

True, I just can’t imagine a small indie with no gaming history being able to afford a team of 50 staff.We are all doing alot of assumption here. Do we know what a Playstation partnership looks like? And how it compares to being a 3rd party developer creating a Playstation Studio game.

Getting smarter everyday
(Weird, I meant
but suggested emojis for smart came up)Well that's just how it works.
I think he is playing statistical tricks in terms of employees, it might be contractors and stuff like that but yeah, it's a bit weird. I also don't know how flexible PlayStation is with their contacts with indies in terms of publishing deals and upfront investments.
I assumed it was like that

Interesting. So many pages for a rumored Silent Hill game with lots of speculation? I never knew the game was this popular to warrant so much attention.
I assume its cause people think its an exclusive which probably doubled the post count.

So you don’t believe the Bloomberg interview?
I don't understand where you're going with this either. I don't doubt the official name of the used emoji ist "blue square", but what makes you think that it is impossible for it to represent a blue box? A lot of people use the eggplant and peach emojis to represent a schlong and a booty respectively, yet using a blue square to represent a blue box is where you would draw the line?There's no discussion, that requires both sides to present worthwhile arguments, I presented factual proof, they just trolled or pushed their insane weakass theories to be shredded by many sane people.

Shenmue 3 probably got lots of pages as well and still bombed. I doubt Silent Hill will really sell. Its hard to tell, Silent Hills might've been more of a success with Hideos name attached to it and all.

After that PT demo and the crystallization of the original Team Silent games, it was bound to happen. It’s the same with cinema. Only after decades can parts of the audience realize the quality and importance of specific pieces. Silent Hill games are probably the ultimate psychological horror games and people are thirsty. The avalanche of low-quality PT clones just amplifies the need for a real Silent Hill.

The most interesting thing for me is Konami's merch. I highly doubt that they are sufficiently nimble and aware to react to interest generated by external events.
Maybe they had this stuff in mind for some time, and its just a coincidence that its shown up now. Maybe they do have plans in place to do something with the IP, or have licensed the IP out and are looking to cash in ahead of the licensee rolling out their own campaign.
Either way, its a positive for the franchise.
Regarding Abandoned/Blue box itself, if this hype was really all getting out of hand all they need to do to deflate or cool it, is announce the "real" name. I mean, realistically how is that going to hurt them? That they aren't doing so shows that there's some sort of long game at work here, as does the somewhat unusual approach to how its being launched on PS5.
Again, this is a teaser for a teaser, in advance of a trailer and presumably an actual product at the end of the year.
Now obviously: These two things need not be connected, but that doesn't make either less interesting in its own right.
Add on top of this whatever Kojima is up to. That teaser for Death Stranding DC was kinda odd, as again it was an announcement for a trailer about an upgraded version of a known published product. It seems oddly extravagant given its function, and even though I can see Kojima wanting to help Geoff out for his long-term support its still a decision that would need to be run by Sony.
And of course Sony, and their plans really are the spider at the centre of this web, being the only party with direct, provable business relations with all 3 participants.

To be fair, if Konami just straight up announced a new Silent Hill, it would probably get 20ish pages and then some more around release.
The prospect of a Kojima ruse cruise is what's keeping people interested.
Here's to another 90 pages folks. #teamreal

He is definitely not Turkish . U can see he did it with google translate because no one in turkey says both of the names while replying or talking to someone(only exception Mehmet Ali combo) . So he wasn’t even aware of the cultural speak there.
No one would ever say Mustafa Can. You call or reply with Mustafa or only an.
And his answer has so many grammar mistakes that it clearly was google translate.
Looks for me kinda suspicious ^^
edit: grammar

Hasan is a great employee.
Also, to keep the tinfoil hat on. This tweet can be used as a metaphor for Silent Hill and Kojima. A Konami IP that Hideo worked on that he had given up on as it didn't fit, now it does fit because of another. #TeamReal

He really is just arguing that a blue square could not possibly be used to represent a blue box
In other news, this sequence of symbols :^) is not a face

You're just as crazy as everyone else in this thread but you're yet to fully embrace the madness.
In good time you will see.
Also you celebrated too early.

I find this very intriguing and fascinating indeed.
We have seen a lot of evidence both for and against #teamreal.
I have done a little studying myself on the matter. I did what I always do when I need real answers:
Read the prophecies of Nostradamus.
I found a very interesting prophecy:
I think there might be some hints in here, but I am not able to decipher it.

By the way, since I do work in the localization industry I can confirm we always fuck up. We're the last puzzle piece and delay EVERYTHING.

The phone number thing is fake, the guy who posted that is also the creator of that new conspiracy sub.
My guess is that he was working on creating that red herring while the original sub was still open and when it closed he realised he had no where to post that shit so he created a new sub for it.

I wish it were included, I just think people were unrealistic in expecting it.Does seem pretty damning forSamFo to be cheering on the lack of full catalog backwards compatibility. No one is happy that it isn't included except haters I would think.
the same with blue box. I hope they scrap whatever blue box has shown and replace with Silent Hill/S though I personally find it unlikely.

There's a distinct possibility this doesn't end on the 25th. This is a game that is likely coming from the guy who deceived EVERYONE with a protagonist switch in one of the most hotly anticipated games ever released. This was not known until the game actually released and people got a chance to play it. It was a long con that went well past the official reveal. As someone who experienced this first-hand, it was... ummm.... weird. I was like, who's this guy and why is he calling himself Snake. It was both disappointing and kind of amazing.
Then there was MGSV, which was revealed as a different game from a fake developer.
Then, obviously, PT the original Silent Hills reveal was also a misdirection. It was supposed to take longer for people to figure it out. I imagine they could try this approach again and if they did, would want it to be harder to solve.
Lastly, why are so many people picking apart comments from Blue Box (or anyone else for that matter) to try and figure out if this is teamreal or teamfake. You are picking apart the words of people that could be *gasp* lying. Like just, LYING. And, guys, they have lied before. They don't have to tell half-truths or be clever about things. They can just lie. Like, they're not going to developer jail. It's marketing. They are allowed to lie. If CD Projekt Red is willing to lie to customers about performance problems, I'm sure all involved with "Abandoned" are willing to lie to create an odd viral buzz about the new Silent Hill.

Why so many people give so quickly up is beyond me. Every Columbo episode would have been 10 minutes if he would have given up so quickly.
yes, there is a guy who say he is Hasan. Let’s even assume it is true that he is not an actor, for all we know he could work at Kojima productions in Japan or the Netherlands or is just an intern there.
There are still a million unanswered questions so I am a true believer. Team Real 4 life!
