Topic: The 'Abandoned' Kojima Silent Hills game

@lolwhatno I watched the video with Colin Moriaty last night. He came across as a bit shady and in way over his head. Lots of alarm bells ringing to some of the things he said.

Ahh… this thread was so much fun back last year. Still an absolute mystery… and while still somewhat interesting, it’s now firmly in the ‘car crashes are interesting’ kinda way.

@lolwhatno IIRC he did say something like that, but then quickly said afterwards that was only on art assets.

How did I miss this? HK just BS’d his way through an hour long interview.
5min in & him talking about how he got started in game dev & the jig is up.

Literally an actor or a scam artist, but I’m pretty much convinced it’s a Kojima thing.

Here's the latest writeup on the Abandoned scam.

Notable points are how the game has pivoted from being the next Silent Hill (it's not), to the next Metal Gear Solid (it's not), to the next Resident Evil (it's not), back to the next Silent Hill (it's still not). Whatever people are excited for to get people to keep talking about the game and attract investors.

Also how he tried to do a delivery scam on one of his devoted followers, saying that he'd have Sony ship the US version of the game's discs to his follower's house who would then inexplicably ship them to the Netherlands.

@Milktastrophe I’m really impressed by Gamespot’s investigation for this article. A lot of sites have covered this game but they’ve gotten to the bottom of it after all this time.

I will be shocked if a game actually materials out of this. Hopefully everyone will soon forget about it and no more money and people's time is wasted on this hoax.

@JohnnyShoulder Sony need to be held accountable for promoting this garbage fire. It’s one thing for this to spread online but they showcased it on the PS Blog.

He sounds like he's become a leader of a fairly unsuccessful cult.
