Still so sad about this šŸ˜ž

Honestly, it still amazes me that this never got successfully ripped and emulated. Iā€™ve heard that itā€™s because there isnā€™t a reliable PS4 emulator, but frankly that surprises me as well. Iā€™d think that the sheer popularity of this game alone would encourage one to be made pretty heavily, especially since this game looks to be on track to becoming lost media otherwise.

I have this running on pc. Itā€™s out there. Just need to find it. Itā€™s been a few years, so I donā€™t remember where I got it. Sorryā€¦

Itā€™s called Unreal PT. The last version I believe is 1.0.7, and itā€™s still hosted on the Internet Archive.

Maybe shadPS4 will (eventually) manage it?

We were robbed of a potential masterpiece of horror media.

I eat horror for breakfast, itā€™s one of my favourite genres. Games, movies, novels, comics, you name it. Playing P.T. for the first time was the most unsettling, paranoid, anxiety inducing experience I have ever had in the genre. And the almost hysterical community at the time trying to piece together this demented puzzle was an extra layer of mystery and madness.

Ultimately we donā€™t know what the finished product would have been like, but I have a hard time imagining anything else but a master class in horror.

Kojimas new horror game OD will likely be good, Iā€™m sure. But you can only do a game like P.T. once, and that boat has sailed.

Same boat here šŸ˜”. I can still remember when I first heard it was officially cancelled. Iā€™ve never been more devastated by any media being cancelled than this

It really was so sad when they cancelled it. It also sucked when Konami removed it from the Playstation store. Every few months Iā€™ll be sitting around doing something unrelated when my brain is like ā€œmember P.T.?ā€ ahā€¦ At least we got to experience this playable teaser before it was all canned.
