(Rumor) 'Silent Hills' Reportedly Had Plans To Mess With You In Real Life
- Thread starter Lannisters1798

This sounds like something that never would have happened anyway. Like it was some idea Kojima had that would inevitably get cut in early stages of development anyway.
Point me in the direction of the 'PT wasn't all that' club please.
At this point the game's mere mention conjures up something so strange and un-quantifiable in communities like this and other places it's hard to imagine talking about just the game.

I don't think this work for me, because if I didn't know who it was texting me I would be genuinely concerned and not in a "fun" way.
New msg from Pyramid Head
":( y u gotta be like that. I'm a good guy"
Yeah, I vaguely remember reading about that game during it's drum-up to launch. That was back in 2000-2001 IIRC.

Couldn't something like that easily backfire depending on how it was handled(how easy or obvious the waivers were, how threatening, creepy, stalkery the messages were, data collecting issues, lack of opt out features etc)?
Isn't that violating like a ton of Data Protection laws, especially in the EU?
That games from 2003 used personalised e-mail (no bot), sms and fake webpage hosted on true media websites.
Probably, but it was decades ago and I'm pretty sure the games were well received.
Yeah In Memoriam was this. You would get emails from the characters and the developers made a dozen or so actual websites you would google or type in and they would contain ingame things like translations and symbol codexes etc. Really inventive stuff.
Why did the OP omit this tweet even though it's directly cited in the article they link to? Tales from my ass all over again.
I had an idea for a future VR horror game that used front-facing AR cameras to switch to a real life view at certain points in accordance to the game's story. Things could creep into your real environment for a moment or you could even glance at a mirror and see your own disfigured face.
Once people properly tap into VR/AR horror, Silent Hills will look like a birthday party scare in comparison.
Good thing Kojima also wants to do a VR project eventually.

See, I'm the exact opposite. If my phone rings, I immediately shove it in a drawer and take a two-hour bubble bath to calm down. This development would have vibrated my heart right out of my chest, even if I remembered to put it on silent.
I can imagine how this would actually play out.
"Who keeps texting you?"
"Oh ... it's my video game."
"Haha yeah ok."
"I'm serious! Characters from the game will text me to try and scare me and add atmosphere to the game. Check this out! The dark wizard of P'Shulta just sent me a photo of a body and said 'YOU'RE NEXT!'"
"Can't you opt out from that?"
"Actually, I opted in!"
"..."
"..."

That'd be pretty cool. It reminds me of Eternal Darkness. That game was amazing for it's time and I wish something like it would show up again in a modern setting. I always wished Silent Hills got made. Hopefully this new Kojima horror game (if it happens) taps into the vibe of that game.
There have been a lot of indie games tha that use files and folders to tell a story, or break 4th walls repeatedly.
Undertale did this on PC. Not sure if any of that translated to the console.
Lost in Vevo being the recent one that faked a Unity engine error, among other things that happen that are even more wild.
Majestic did it in 2001. It's not exactly a novel idea.

They can say anything about a canclled game. We would never know the extent of the veracity of such things because we didn't have a chance to try it.
They just need to resurrect this project. Sony buy this game and make it.
Edit: Well here it is:
Sounds very intrusive like those dangerous games.
