Cancelled games are sad. Seeing, believing, and getting excited in a game that's supposed to release only to find out that it won't actually come out is never fun. Especially when you have a playable demo like P.T. This demo was a perfect marketing campaign; a horror game that is both intriguing and most of all SCARY. I remember thinking the graphics in PT were the most photorealistic thing I had ever seen at that point, and the unexplained looping nature and bizarre secrets kept the game in this unidentifiable zone where the only thing I could keep thinking was "what IS this game???" Then the demo ends revealing what it actually was to be. A new entry in the silent hill series directed by hideo kojima. In one free demo, pretty much everyone who had played it was already sold on this game that was going to come out.
and then they cancelled it, fired kojima, and made the game not only delisted, but actually UNREDOWNLOADABLE which to this day is the literal only piece of console software that I have seen like this. Konami made it so even if you did take place in playing the original game and have the demo on your account, tough shit bro hope you already had it downloaded. Hope your PS4 doesn't break. Hope you don't change HDDs. Hope you never upgrade or need to system transfer. Obliterated from the timeline, unless you still have it downloaded or have a hacked system to sideload the game. Great. Thanks, Konami.
