Its a deftly executed little slice of horror that presented interesting concepts from a director well known for fucking with audience expectations and attention to detail taking his first stab at a horror game. It was also a lead-in for a AAAA soft reboot of one of the most influential yet neglected IPs in gaming. As it is now, its simply a well-made bite of horror with some genuinely chilling imagery and inventive ideas that influenced a lot of horror games that came after.
It was a Playable Teaser for a Silent Hill game being directed by Hideo Kojima, poised to be a grand return for the SH series.
And then shit hit the fan, Kojima left Konami, Silent Hills was cancelled, and Konami tried to scrub PT from existence to make people forget about it.
It was also sorta kinda one of the first major horror games to implement that kind of gameplay.
It's one of the best horror experiences I've ever had in gaming. That's why we care so much.
Yeah. Often with guests who are interested in it.
I really wish everyone would just move on from P.T.
It's never gonna be more than a demo that should've released. Keeping it around is just torturing yourselves. And even if the fans get what they want and it becomes a real game, it'll never live up to expectations and never have Kojima involved.
Just rip the band aid off. It'll be easier.
I replay it every halloween night.
Doesn't seem to be working on my console. Followed all the steps but no dice.
We know? cuz I downloaded it and tried it once, then deleted it but I'd like to try someday...EDIT: At any case, Konami says the game is not BC because it's not on the PS Store, but we already know you can get P.T anyways if you got it back then, so.....
Yes! The guide has been passed around the thread:We know? cuz I downloaded it and tried it once, then deleted it but I'd like to try someday...

Does this no longer work on PS4s? I sold mine a while ago, but have a friend who is keeping it. I may just log into his ps4, redownload it using this method, then transfer over to my ps5 if I buy one next year
hohoho, then I have a new PS5 game for when US/UK allow us to get one!
just curious are you familiar with the situation with konami and pt? or played it/owned it?Dont know why Konami wants to kill this thing so bad.
If it were up to me i would update it and charge people $9 to download it.
Better than wiping it off the face of the earth.

have you played PT as well?It's an ad for a game that didn't get made. Why would they want to keep it around?
If anything, it points people to Death Stranding.
Goodbye PT.
I would've taken a revival of this over Death Stranding.
Because it holds up as it's own thing, and as its own thing its arguably one of the greatest horror games ever made.It's an ad for a game that didn't get made. Why would they want to keep it around?

We'll see about that Konami.

It's a standalone game and it's really good. I don't know why it can't be celebrated in the same light as any other game.I am becoming convinced that people who say shit like this are just trolling now.

Threadmarked.Just to put this not compatible theory to rest, the new https://library.playstation.com/ web site has an API which it is accessing to determine the backwards compatibility state of a game. You can see the requests it makes if you have the developer panel open in your browser.
Anyway if you put in one of the IDs used for P.T it returns a compatible result:
And to verify it's actually working as intended, if you put the ID of a known incompatible title like Hitman Go it returns not compatible:
So P.T is very much playable on the PS5 through BC as long as you have it on your PS4 and can transfer it.

Glad to see further evidence pointing towards this. It's what I've presumed all along, because why bother going out of their way to prevent it being transferred? The only hang up would have been if it wasn't compatible for some reason.Just to put this not compatible theory to rest, the new https://library.playstation.com/ web site has an API which it is accessing to determine the backwards compatibility state of a game.
