just come out with a picture and reveal yourself like „hey guys, I’m Hasan and as you can see I’m clearly not Kojima. This is not a joke

Or put a damned video up on YT. Supposedly a dev that has a deal with Sony, you can do an introduction video.

We don't know if they do. They've never said who is publishing the game. Which is also odd.

 

[xHunter]

This is probably one of the coolest shit i have seen in a long time in gaming, even if it might turn out to be nothing. Other publishers should take note and sometimes do something like this too.

Edit: Reminds of the PS Home days, cant remember the name, but there was a mystery event too, which involved real life locations.

 

[Dr Kaneda]

Would also go in line with Geoff's tweet that said "It's not what people think it is."

Yeah that as well.

The Silent Hill hints are so on the nose it's unreal and they are so strange when've you've also got the categoric denials by Blue Box as well. But yeah like I said it's still defo Kojima related and a big AAA game, if it's either MGS remake or Silent Hill I'll be happy either way even if I'd slightly prefer Silent Hill

People would count the blinks to do morse code. Everything and everyone is connected.

Yep.

I loved Death Stranding as a game, but in terms of a raw game it's obviously not a 10/10. But the hyping and teasing by Kojima and the theories etc.. that I followed for years and months elevated the experience to top tier heights.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Didn't he say he was working with Sony since 2015 and it was exclusive to them? Just put up a damned video and see if you are CG Chad or not in the PSN profile, lol. It is that simple.

 

[DryvBy]

Guys this is a Half-Life 3 reveal...

On a serious note, even if it was Kojima, im so bored of these cryptic announcements. It was cool when i was 12. When i remember the cringe with MGS5 and Moby Dick studios and developer with a bandaged head giving interviews...yeah ok, give me the fucking game and shut up already.

Go sit in the corner. This is way more fun of an announcement and it's more talked about than E3 now.

Interview

This bit is hilarious:

"- Kahraman once again told me he had nothing to do with Kojima. He says it doesnt matter what he says or does, people won't believe it anyway."

Ah, so no matter his WORDS AND DEEDS, people think he's Kojima, still, huh?

NICE TRY, KOJIMA.

Edit: Siren & Silent Hill?

What does SHLSS mean?

I assume Silent Hill, obviously, but LSS? It's also the first time they used that hashtag.

Siren Hill

What were L and S on the Cypher from last night?

The PT demo was Silent HillS, remember?

[FunkMiller]

Just watched Mystic’s round up of all this on YouTube.

Its definitely Kojima. He’s got form for this kind of thing, and there are just too many coincidences and links.

Whether it’s Silent Hill or not, I don’t know, but fingers crossed

 

[Heisenberg007]

These 4 days will feel like a year. This mystery must solve soon lol.

 

[SkylineRKR]

SHLSS is an advanced form of DLSS, making it possible to run Abandoned in 8k/120hz/RT.

AAHS = SHAA = Silent Hill Abandoned A..?

 

[Stephen Curry]

I like how people are searching and looking at all this cryptic shit and connecting numbers with letters and linking accounts as if this is some master plan that needs to be uncovered.

Blue Box literally tweeted the game is S___L lmao. Why would they just put it all out there in that single tweet

 

[DeepEnigma]

What were L and S on the Cypher from last night?

L = O

We did not have an S I don't believe.

 

[DryvBy]

Profile pic changed, also blue box account follows this.

No, they follow them. This is definitely a troll.

Yeah the game already had attention.. if this is a Kojima ruse, throwing the S-L thing out there is way too on the nose.

I agree. Too weird

No clue.

This thread is one of the greatest investigative pieces ever written.

What's funny is that this Thread right here on GAF is the go-to place for this madness.
On "the other side" they have insiders, the known weasel and Geoff himself, yet they missed out on a lot of stuff and have old things just surfacing.

The whole batshit crazy Twitter "morse code leaker" was not even featured at all.

 

[kyliethicc]

Damn, beaten.

This is 100% a Silent Hill game.

95% chance its Kojima.

 

[FunkMiller]

One thing I’d add anecdotally:

I was there for the premier of PT on the PlayStation store, and played it that evening alongside everybody else trying to finish it.

That shit was easily as obtuse and weird as some of the stuff being uncovered now. It all feels the same.

Either this is all a huge coincidence, Blue Box Games are master trolls… or somebody who knows how to get people’s minds racing is at it again.

If this is Kojima Silent Hill, then welcome to what will become the most talked about video games announcement in history.

 

[Dr Kaneda]

Yeah the game already had attention.. if this is a Kojima ruse, throwing the S-L thing out there is way too on the nose.

My theories about that as I stated before are:

1) Hype had died down since the initial reveal. It honestly hasn't had that much attention outside the 1st one or two days of it's reveal. People shut down the SH/Kojima theories pretty quickly and pretty emphatically. They needed something really on the nose to reignite it and make this blow up

or

2) It's not Silent Hill but actually MGS as someone else suggested and the SH stuff are intentional red herrings.

 

[SilentUser]

Edit: Siren & Silent Hill?

Oh wow, you might correct! Plus, there is a Siren game called Siren: Blood curse. Wasn't there a hint for blood... flakes? Something like that? Plus, one guy said it was a crossover.

This is way too much fun to watch! Epic.

 

[DeepEnigma]

His name is an anagram for the Hasan Kahraman name.

This keeps sticking out to me for some reason. What if saving the spirits from silent hell are multiple IPs? Saving multiple IPs?

The 27th letter in old English was the & (ampersand) or pronounced 'et'.

Hmmm,

Posts stuff like these:

[Clear]

Whatever it is its a masterstroke move on Sony's behalf to cheaply grab a load of attention and mindshare in the wake of the Xbox' E3 event.

In many ways its emblematic of the two platform strategies. Sony is all about single event releases and announcements, whereas MS are going with a volume and value sort of approach to drive interest.

 

[DryvBy]

What was always etched into my head in PT was the radio blasting "Don't touch that dial!". Maybe I'm dizzy from the tin foil but I haven't stopped touching this dial since Tuesday.

My two cents : Silent Hill Show on Jun 24th.

Hank A is the same guy as Hank Arman, and if we assume the game boss channel was legit (and there is high chances for that), then Hank A is legit. And Hank A is Hasan Kahraman.

 

[H . R . 2]

the biggest crossover in history
SIREN + SILENT HILL

19 + 8 = 27

19th letter = S
8th = H

Silent Hill

Genuinely the best time I've had related to gaming since E3 2016/17 which ever one it was with all those mad announcements like Death Stranding, FF7, TLOU 2, Spiderman etc

Blue Box has been most active and released their games primarily on steam, advertised their previous games on Xbox, and follow Xbox on Twitter.

If Hank Arman is legit, that would make the initial image stenography that was previously debunked as legit.
