No it didn't... that's explained by him taking the screenshot in May.
This would have been pretty suspect already, what he just takes screenshots of every dm he receives from no name indie developers, of which he is going to be receiving countless amounts? That is insane mental gymnastics. But no, the metadata of the screenshot was analyzed and it was indeed not taken in may.

Point me towards anyone proving "metadata" proved it was not taken in may?

You generally can't do that anymore as uploading images to websites generally replaces their metadata.

Metadata could've been altered by imgur or wherever he uploaded that.

I'm not having my cake and eating it too.. getting a blog post isn't that big of a deal.. either is getting a Geoff K follow when that blog post got some people's attention. How is that a problem when my "downplaying" of both is logically consistent? lol

And let's not forget that this blog post did get attention.. because it was announced as a PS5 exclusive.. likely the same reason it got a thread here, while plenty of Ps Blog posts don't, is the reason it got a GK follow.


And without any real provocation, because that trailer had NOTHING to do with Kojima, NeoGAF and elsewhere suddenly started this stuff up:

You're saying the Blog post got them all this attention and got noteworthy people like Geoff interested etc.. yet in the same breath saying getting a blog post is no big deal. That's the logical inconsistency.

It clearly is a big deal. And we've seen demonstrable proof of the level of exposure a blog post can do. 99.9% of indie devs would kill for a PS blog post.

Can you cite just ONE other example of an indie dev with as equally low skill/achievement and notoriety as BlueBox games getting a PS Blog post and this unheard of app? Ffs even Geoff said it was strange and unheard of. That's not even factoring other devs that have said the same

Where/when was this done? Must've missed it.

They said they got the metadata so clearly it was not cleared? And how do you know he uploaded it to imgur? He sent it directly to some people IIRC.

No it's not.. because loads of blog posts get made that get zero attention.

This one just happened to.. loads of blog posts get posted that dont get neogaf threads.. this one did..

Why? Because it was labeled a PS5 Exclusive.

I was thinking the same thing myself that P.T. never ended. I figured I just lost so much sleep I was becoming delusional.
Almost as if the "Konami split" was all part of the ARG/ruse. Now that select comments are being put under a microscope all these years later, some wouldn't even talk the way they did one would think. Especially with partnerships. Then Kojima saying this next big thing would be career ending if it did not all play out like he envisions. Hmmmm.

what are the 10 profiles they're following?

I am 100% team real and was from the start and never considered switching sides, but I think the app will bring no answers at all. Hasan or whatever his real name is said that the app on Friday will only be some kind of zutuest with explanations how to use the app, so I think the wait continues. But seriously why do they want to go on with this sharade…

could be lies as per usual. going from app + trailer to less AFTER a delay sounds suspect.
 
Wow, the thirst is real (just like the new SHS game by Kojima :p) as we are now over 100 pages. Nice!

Too bad lately I'm struggling even more to follow this thread :messenger_loudly_crying: Had a minor accident, plus work is consuming a lot of my time.
oh sorry to hear that man, hope you recover soon. And its alright, focus on your work, we will all still be here with Kojima and Silent Hill waiting for your next visit.

Their coyness speaks two things to me.

1.) They're hiding something and this is all gonna add up to what we think it is.
2.) They're not saying anything because they themselves aren't even sure what's going on with this Hasan guy and don't want to jump the gun in making any sort of statement that could backfire on them?

But my gut is still leaning towards #1....they know something and their coyness speaks volumes.

The only reason Konami even knows who he is is because people started bombarding them with questions about a new Silent Hill he is making. He was told to make it very clear that he isn't associated with Konami or Silent Hill.

Other than that they have literally nothing to do with him, there is nothing to comment about.
 
This whole situation is really puzzling. I was team fake initially, yet hints of doubt are finding their way into my mind...I am not entirely on board, granted, but part of me wishes this whole thing leads to a big horror game, either by Kojima, or by some competent team with sufficient funding. If Hasan shows up with a dud, he will have to undergo plastic surgery to alter his facial structure; The shit storm by bitter and jobless SH fans will devour his soul...😂

I'm happy to see we cleared 100 pages. Well done, conspiracy bros! No matter what happens with the game, something real happened in this thread. My first post in this thread is funny to me now.
I guess with Elden Ring and Starfield revealed, gamers have to find something else to drive themselves nuts over.

I like those that day the name is Survival. Matches the thread title anyway. I don't believe in Silent Hill, even though the setting of the teaser seems to fit.

It doesn't seem like something you tease in this manner.
I arrived slightly late. I immediately assumed it was a bunch of crazies holding out hope for something hopeless. Then I started to think that some of the suggestions weren't so outlandish, eventhough Silent Hill seemed like a longshot. But by the last sentence, I'm already wading towards the deep end. From the outset, something felt really off.

After that post, I started to dig around myself, and found myself down the rabbit hole pretty quickly. Things exploded after that, and now here we are. I'm fully entrenched. The other shoe drops on Friday.

One thing to consider:
In the latest interview with Kojima Geoff said that we will learn more about Kojima's next project "in the upcoming weeks" (I'm 90% sure this is exactly what he said, too lazy to check). Kojima implied it's something vastly different to his previous projects - so that would fit into description of what's Grubb teasing - something multiplayer only or using power of cloud or whatever. On the other hand, would he really tease Xbox or Xcloud exclusive game while revealing PS5 exclusive Death Stranding DC? Not that it's forbidden but kinda looks bad from bussiness point of view. So that makes me think that if the Xbox project is real, it's not the only one in the making.

Ok I checked this myself.

This is what shows up here:


If you download the image from imgur.com, that Geoff linked to on Restera.

So it's the metadata that shows up, for a file that we know is modified by imgur.com, because they modify exif/other metadata (this isn't EXIF data.)

I'd still like to know who was sent Geoff's file directly, and where you have evidence of that?

And for the record, this does make me a little suspicious of Geoff. But I'm working on testing some things with imgur.com.

By the way, love to see this professional clown “review” Abandoned’s forest asset pack when the trailer was released. If anyone was following him for pro insight, please don’t:



SO MUCH DETAIL!


Why? He gave good insight to that video. He was even critical of parts of it. How could he know that it would have came to this?

Watch the video. Even DS feels part of the ARG.
Why then this guy, who seems to pour over every bit of news/photo/video about Kojima & DS & Silent Hill, haven't produced 1 video about BBG in relation with Kojima & Silent Hill?

Look for yourself. He is a hardcore fan and even harder core theorist (conspiracy) and he doesn't make even just 1 video about all these "coincidences" surrounding BBG & Hasan Kahraman and Kojima & Silent Hill?? OK.

Kojima hired him not to interfere.
