Konami takes down the Unreal Engine 4-powered fan remake of Silent Hills P.T.

DSOGaming writes: "And another one bites the dust. Last month, GameJolt’s Qimsar released a beta version of his PT remake in Unreal Engine 4, however, Konami got in touch with him and shut down the project. Not that this surprised us but… yeah… we all knew this would happen."

Agreed. But they did offer the writer of the removed content a paid internship. That's pretty cool.

Enigma_20992130d ago

Seriously? Would you actually want to work for current day Konami?
Hope you like scrubbing toilets...

akaFullMetal2132d ago

I still have PT saved on my ps4. What could've been.

MrSugarholic2131d ago

I don't. Somehow mine got deleted and I didn't remember doing it. They should have kept it up and just removed the ending Silent Hills tease.

Goldby2131d ago

There may still be a work around to get it back on Ur system if the updates to firmware haven't removed it

Just get a hackable PS4, you can have every game released before May 2018 for free.

Buy Dreams and play my full version of Silent Hills based on P.T

Akarogg 2131d ago

I have written a long script and am ready to roll out the game very soon after Dreams release

KwietStorm_BLM2131d ago

Japanese men in black suits will probably be knocking on your door too.

stefd752131d ago

Silly question but what is dreams ??

thatguyhayat2131d ago

Stefd75

Its PS4 title thats yet to be released where you create your own story within the game levels and such

Akarogg 2130d ago

@KwietStorm

I have already made it in LBP3 with 50 000 plays and no visits from black suited japanese

Akarogg 2130d ago

@stefd75

It's a game where you create games, made by Media Molecule, the same creators behind Little Big Planet. You can create anything, it will release for PS4

Not that Konami isn’t a piece of shit company, it is. But I really don’t blame them for this. Seriously can’t believe people are surprised or angry when stuff like this is taken down (like the unofficial Pokémon game). You can’t just steal someone else’s IP and expect to get away with it, sorry.

bouzebbal2131d ago

except it's not an IP of any kind. it's a canned project teaser.

DigitalSoulja2131d ago

Yes it is dude.

What intellectual property is:

the names of your products or brands
your inventions

the design or look of your products
things you write, make or produce

Copyright, patents, designs and trade marks are all types of intellectual property protection.

You get some types of protection automatically, others you have to apply for.

What counts as intellectual property:

Intellectual property is something unique that you physically create. An idea alone is not intellectual property. For example, an idea for a book doesn’t count, but the words you’ve written do.

You own intellectual property if you:

created it (and it meets the requirements for copyright, a patent or a design)

bought intellectual property rights from the creator or a previous owner

have a brand that could be a trade mark, eg a well-known product name

Intellectual property can:

have more than one owner
belong to people or businesses
be sold or transferred

Razzer2131d ago

Pretty good explanation, DigitalSoulja.

Konami still sucks tho. :)

annoyedgamer2131d ago

This is the offline equivalent of a MMORPG private server. It was only a matter of time.

sprinterboy2131d ago

Which they own the rights too, dumb comment of the day, that's like saying I could do a 8days game from the teased ps3 launch trailer and get away with it.

cooperdnizzle2131d ago

Ehhh. It’s more of a grey area. I can copy a song and release it as long as I don’t profit from said song. A “cover” if you will. Is what it is

PapaBop2131d ago

Were they trying to profit on it before it was taken down? It might be Konami's IP and they did have the right to take it down but it's not like they are doing anything with the IP and if anything, could have helped generate interest in reviving it. Japanese companies though, run by a bunch of dinosaurs who just don't understand things like this.

Paid internship? If so, then cool. If not, then modernslavery.txt

The Complete Ranking of Silent Hill Games from Worst to Best

The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26201d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake201d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69200d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26200d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

Dataminer gets PT playable on a PlayStation 5 via hacked emulator

From Eurogamer: "Konami horror project P.T. has been made playable on a PlayStation 5, via a hacked PS4 emulator.

Streamer and dataminer Lance McDonald has managed to get the game working on a non-jailbroken PS5 console.

Essentially, a legitimate copy of P.T. is required as well as an active PSN account on both a jailbroken PS5 and a normal, fully updated PS5. The emulator is then transferred from one to the other."

Hopefully the October 19 Silent Hill announcement makes it so that I don’t need to fret with eBay and all of this emulator nonsense to enjoy a 10 minutes demo for Halloween….

How does Konami not appreciate how much they spite their face when they tarnish Kojima’a legacy?

MrBaskerville574d ago

While we'll surely get several SH projects in the coming years, expecting anything related to P.T. is setting yourself up for dissapointment. Sadly.

MIDGETonSTILTS17574d ago

Yeah I get the sense that Kojima might’ve literally shat on his boss’ desk before leaving

Relientk77592d ago

Still one of the scariest gaming experiences I've ever played, and it was only a demo. Might even be the scariest.

SullysCigar592d ago

I can't seem to part with my old PS4 because this is installed! It's freaky as hell, even now.

EvertonFC591d ago

Worth some money online with PT installed

Gamingsince1981591d ago

@evertonfc

Thats a bit strange considering you can download it from torrent sites and install on a ps4 , its pretty easy to get the demo.

CaptainHenry916592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

Visage copied this demo big time

Neonridr591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

Visage was a great game though. Got a little weak towards the last chapter, but the first 2 chapters were particularly amazing. I'm glad we got at least one game that utilized the potential of the PT Demo.

Venoxn4g591d ago

I heard that Madison game was great too.. plus hopefully we will still see the release of Allison Road.

mark_loprototype591d ago

Oh, absolutely. Many supernatural indie horror games that released in the past 7 years wouldn't exist without P.T.

I even question if you'd have games like Phasmophobia, as P.T. kind of let devs know that the broader gaming community was receptive to slow-paced, atmospheric horror and enjoyed sharing that experience (for P.T., it was over YouTube/Twitch).

gold_drake591d ago

this game.. damn.
i shit my briefs when i played it haha. but its sooo good. or was.

Elda591d ago

A great game demo. The demo didn't scare me while playing but it definitely had a creep factor. The part I thought was somewhat creepy was the radio broadcaster reports of the murders that took place in the house.
