So I don't normally like to amend videos, but my boyfriend and I are replaying MGS2 right now, and I realized that my idea of the swedish voice hacking into the game to try to break the brainwashing spell, which causes the game to respond by crashing, is almost exactly what happens when Raiden makes it into Arsenal Gear. Emma's worm cluster causes GW to start malfunctioning, and so the AI responds by telling you, the player, to turn off the console and get a life. Pretty neat, and makes me a lot more confident in my interpretation.

The biggest problem with SH2, imo, is the fact that the story barely holds up when taken literally rather than metaphorically. Expanding out the idea that James and the other characters in SH2 were manipulated into doing the things that birthed their guilt would add to the horror around the cult, and make SH2 fit into the SH lore even better.

@27:20; I think the line from the fetus saying the only reason the mother could get that job was "because the manager like how she looked in a skirt" and then following it up with the "exactly 10 months back" is meant to imply that the fetus' father was the manager after he used the threat of firing her to get her to sleep with him (since her husband was wallowing in his own self pity drinking, she had to carry that burden alone and knew how much they needed the money). Edit: all of this still alludes to the real life aspect of Kojimas perspective. replace manager with Konami management, the wife with the influential IP Kojima created at Konami, and schlocky games that would then result from those business practices with the demonic fetus in the sink, meanwhile Kojima is watching powerlessly as his brain children were being bastardized for the sake of profit, im sure the thought of "killing" his creations crossed his mind, but he instead chose to make PT instead and take his creative talents elsewhere and create homolumos

The Swedish playing on the radio was one of the spookiest things for us, as Swedish players playing in Sweden at release of this game, where we knew literally nothing about it. We were convinced that the game was using our location and adjusting accordingly to send us a DIRECT message. How cool would that have been. Found out later it was just Swedish for everyone 😂

I feel you on the game following you around. I watched a playthrough of this game when it originally came out, and I was living in a basement at the time. Let me tell you that every time I left my bedroom to go down the hall to the bathroom in the middle of the night and all I could think about was Lisa rushing me for years. YEARS. 🤣 It's funny now, but the visceral feelings from this game lingered for so long afterwards. I don't think we'll ever quite get the level of psychological, abstract horror ever again. Personally I was spoiled by PT, and everything else is just a pale imitation.

@iantophernicus6042

Жыл бұрын

I feel that. I've felt Lisa's glinting eyes and manic grin on my back, years after I swore I'd not look at her face again. She feels similar to the Weeping Angels, or the Silence, in that there's this ever present shiver down your spine and the sudden urge to squint over a shoulder to check that she is not following.

I don't think I've ever felt the weight of time more than hearing "[PT] has been out for almost a decade"

Just a quick theory to add into your confusion regarding the “I walked till I stood one pace before Jack”, I’ve seen some theories suggest that it’s a reference to a deck of cards, counting Ace - 10, just before Jack, the first of the face cards, and they also may have placed the desk with the phone and Jack’s photo right next to it intentionally!- but it would explain the clue referencing Jack while still not making it crucial to walk specifically to him. Walking 10 steps is always one step before Jack.

I always love the half hour style videos that are horror inspired

I found consistent results for the calling puzzle at the end by saying things like "Lisa, I'm sorry for what happened to you", "Lisa, Im scared and I want to go home", and "Lisa, please let me out". Usually it lets me finish with one of those, sometimes two with a 5ish second gap. Also, my PS4 has been updated regularly since 2014 and my install still works.

I'm guessing 'Jack' as a pseudonym probably has several purposes: 1: an allusion to 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', in reference to Konami's obsession with the business side of the industry, Kojima's loss of creative freedom and because of its use in 'The Shining' 2: Raiden from Metal Gear goes by that name, so it would be plausible that the teaser could have been part of that series. 3: similar to the above it could be in reference to the player 'jacking in' to the game through their playable avatar. It's interesting that you think of the game being about convincing the player to become a killer, as simulations of violence through videogames and general media manipulation being used by people in power to incite people to become soldiers is a theme present in Metal Gear. Given the political content of Kojima's work I would also think that the murder audio being played in tandem with the radio announcer inciting the incident, and the other allusions to aliens manipulating the media, one might infer that the 'Aliens' could be a reference to They Live (Kojima being a big John Carpenter fan, as evidenced by Solid Snake basically being a reference to Snake Plisken from Escape From New York). That scene could also therefore be interpreted as a revolutionary call to action against capitalism as a system.

Something I realized after I watched this whole video is how this game is like a Ghost in and of itself. It's this odd anomaly that seems to work perfectly as it was intended in order to scare the player. Bugless, glitchless, and everything that could be considered either of those two things just add to the experience rather than take away from it. It's almost as if no human could have possibly made this thing. Like a ghost, It's almost impossible to understand fully, and we likely will never get that chance. It instead will forever remain as a memory, forcing us to constantly question our own sanity and recollection of events. I'm a very cynical and rational guy, I don't believe in ghosts, bigfoot, the loch ness monster, or any of that. But for a brief moment, I thought about this game and how impossibly immaculate it is with what it does and actually considered the possibility that the paranormal might just exist in our world. The genius and flawlessness of this game is so apparent that it's hard to believe human beings were able to accomplish it. It's truly otherworldly. It should not exist, but somehow it does.

There’s only a few games that are just there in the back of my head that I can’t help but think about constantly, this game not only does that, but also makes me profoundly sad that it’ll never exist beyond this, but maybe that’s why this game has such a cult following, and if it had became a full fledged game I don’t think people would love it as much.

Another fun fact: there are a few scenes in PT's paintings (all the random scenery paintings) that are actual locations in death stranding.

Another result while playing pt gives us a non-interactable trailer, in which dozens of 1980s toys come out, tentacles roam halls, and some inexplicable boy does scary stuff.

I love your content I love your in depth analysis of game mechanics or games in general Thanks

That was amazing as always, I'm glad I have another way of appreciating P.T. again. Thank you!

I love that kojima knew the higher ups at konami dont care about games or art, so they would never know about PT until it was too late the price you pay for only caring about money

OK I just have to say you must have put so much into this video and I learned so much because of it. Thank you very much for closing this door that's been wide open for years in my mind

OD is the P.T. and Jordan Peele was the one he mentioned. Jack is also the father on The Shinning. Stanley Kubrick had a big fight with Stephen King for that movie. That's a mirror of Kojima with Konami.

Thank you so much for this video. Honestly PT just never was able to sit right with me since it vaguely had a story but I definitely was missing at least parts of it. So yeah, thanks for a bit of closure on it, even if you didn't have like a 'true answer' you had a lot more insight than I've ever heard expressed about this game.

Surprising how this game is going to be a decade old in about 2 years, and it's still looks timeless as ever. Even odder how no other emulation of P.T. can match how well its horror is done. Visage is probably the best attempt, but is very different as well.

28:15 That cry fas WAY TOO REAL. It had me turn my head.

Hey there, I have PT on my ps4 and current firmware, it plays jussssssst fine. Just turned it on. As long as you have it installed, it plays. Hell, you can still download it from their servers if you know how. They didn't remove it, just hid it in the servers. I tested this too. Still works. It takes a PC and a proxy and you are good

Does your ps4 need to be jailbroken for it to work?

really informative and interesting video essay, love that you did your research so extensively on not only the game but hideo kojima himself. Awesome to see a fresh perspective on this masterpiece of a game even after so many years, and with such difficulty being able to get your hands on it.

Glad to see you dropping new videos more often, also hoping you're doing great.

HOLD UP I DIDNT KNOW JUNJI ITO WAS A PART OF THIS My god im grieving for this game all over again

Junji Ito only was contacted after the release of PT. As Ito himself said he didn't work on nothing because just a few weeks after Kojima and him reunited the game was cancelled and he didn't drawn anything yet.

Btw i think i saw a vid from Jacob Geller where he found out that the broadcast for War of the worlds did not actually fool people, said it could've been the news outlets at the time that manipulated the news to sound like that, maybe to inflict harm on their competition, the radio, by showing its dangers. Video is titled: "The men who couldnt stop crying, and other unbearable realities". Its a good video.

This small teaser still so important to me that I’m literally sobbing every time when I see it online. I really glad that Silent Hill series came back few days ago. But I really sad cause we’re never going to be able to experience that PT Silent Hill that was stunning. This is probably the only one game that I remember in every small detail.

I think you added some more great interpretations to those in another video I watched. I think you two hit the nail on the head! If you haven't already seen it, check out the video P. T.'s Hidden Meaning.

This brought me so much closure. I have never been so fully immersed in a theory like this and there's no way you aren't spot on. I've wondered about the death stranding parallel since I started playing it and... just wow

Hey, this video did quite better then the last few. I see you are on the right track, keep it up

We had a power outage while playing P.T. and ever since then the game starts up and resume with Lisa haunting the bathroom and we can't get her out of there. 😂

This is probably the best P.T. analysis I’ve ever seen. Very well done.

I'm surprised more people don't analyze Kojima's stuff like this. You'd think given his taste in films, music and artists that it'd be pretty obvious to take a more metaphorical approach to reading his games rather than a 1:1 "this is what reality would be like in x situation" stories that people seem to only read his stuff as. Thanks so much for putting this out! I was of the mind this teaser was always SOME kind of swan song given the weirdly specific lines at the end of the teaser but I never came back to it since... well I thought it was a dead-in-the-water project. Glad to see though that someone else was picking up the motifs in PT that carried over into Death Stranding!

I remember when I first got a PS4, it felt so big and amazing. when I played P.T and Destiny 1 the world of games felt so different and unique, I miss this feeling.

This was truly illuminating. Also, i love your hair.

I've gotten the trailer to play even without a microphone. All i could remember from the process was the stare at the digital clock. Wait for the bells, walk 10 steps. Then i forgot the rest so just kinda wandered back and forth for a bit. Then it played. Was literally the first time i'd played it in a year and was super easy. I've tried it again since and i've managed to get it to work a few more times with the same method, but also there have been plenty of times it's not worked too. Also i've heard this theory before. I forget the name of the channel but they made like 6 videos about PT and this was their final conclusion. More or less. I think you articulated it a lot better though. Excellent video! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Makes me wish my ps4 with PT installed didn't crap out on me last year. This is the first halloween since it released that i've not replayed it.

No one ever talks about how much your character sways when walking. Like, if you look at it, it's a _lot._ I think Norman is drunk.

I just want to say this is an incredible analysis. I never dived into the deeper meaning of PT. I just played the game, and looked up a tutorial on how to beat it when it first came out. To me it was just a teaser for a game I’ve always wanted but never got. Now knowing how much heart went into it, how much passion was there, and honestly how sad of a story it tells not just from a literal standpoint, but from a subtextual standpoint and how it an allegory for Kojima’s story at Konami makes this game hit so much harder than I could have known. The amount of research you put into your theories is amazing. Great job

This was awesome. Nice work

A spiritual successor to SH4: The Room we're never gonna get, which fucking sucks since Kojimbo made a hell of a demo to sell the premise.

Well I think its pretty great video, writing as someone who have watched a lot of P.T. analyzes. I think what probably differentiates it the most, from the rest of P.T analyzes is more focus on non-meta narration of the game which I find really rarely in such analyzes, sadly so. But to be fair I think that approach to meta part is also in some ways innovative, especially the whole part about P.T. ending being sort of positive. Overall great stuff.

you are one of those rare cases, when I actually listen to a whole video. good

Fantastic video ! Thank you.

This video makes me appreciate the game studios that are breaking those trends of the big gaming companies, like New Blood, Bethesda and Obsidian, and so many more, and it makes me appreciate the ways that game development is becoming easier, like with how Roblox Studio is pretty easy to make models in if you have a bit of knowledge

Even though the scene wasn't very clear due to shooting style, i could tell you have a very beautiful hand writting

Amazing work that really opened my eyes. I downloaded P.T. back in 2014, but stopped playing after a few minutes because it was just too intense for the moment.Luckily I can still go back. I knew about the Silent Hills / Kojima reveal before watching your analysis but not the details regarding the hidden mechanics and messages. Thank you!

Beautiful timing for a beautiful person

DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL NOW, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!
