13:32 fun fact once i participated in a PT themed escape room and that experience made me realise what the first half of PTSD stands for

Meanwhile in a parallel universe, gamers are constantly crapping their pants while playing a finished PT game.

Can we get him a green exercise ball so he’ll just be floating in his next video?

"Don't touch that dial now. We're just getting started". That along with the creepy background noise and seeing the distorted movements of the mother. God bless you P.T. Helped me believe in horror games again

PT was a tragedy, alot of people who don't even like or play horror games where even outraged along side horror fans when Konami killed off Silent Hills. That's how you know it was amazing and really truly left a mark on gaming as a whole.

"You' re just playing the game, doing Batman-shit and then this happens..." playing ad OOOOOHH THE HORROR PLEASE MAKE IT STOP

“Ooo. I’m openin the door. Out ya go, stupid.” Iconic.

Rewatching this again and getting to the PT part was hella spooky. Literally paused the video because I heard noises behind me, just to see my dumb ass cat knocking over boxes.

One of my favorite points about horror in games was a twitter post that talked about how having a shitty weapon is way scarier than having no weapon. If you're unarmed, the game doesn't expect you to fight. You can can maybe get caught but you don't have to face whatever's threatening you. If you have a stick or a barely functional bb gun though, then at best it's there for last-ditch defense and at worst you'll actually have to kill something with it. Now survival depends on you doing something.

Most people: I’ll improve my show with a budget Jakey: dawg check out these sick segways I’ve been workin’ on

I was 100% expecting a jump scare during the speech at the end.

Suprised you didn't talk about Alien: Isolation. SPOILERS AHEAD The Alien adapts when it kills you in a certain way. So if it finds you under a desk, then it will know to search near desks. One time I was hiding under a desk and was previously killed in a locker, I saw the Alien walk along the row of lockers.. It was checking each one to see if I was there. It's terrifying because you never feel safe. You know if it get's you, you have a less chance of surviving and thus the game get's progressively harder to survive. A similar feature is the main offense or should I say defense because you cannot kill the Alien only scare it away, is the flamethrower. However the more you use it, the less scared it becomes. This means the while the game goes on the Alien not only is getting better at hunting you, it knows you cannot really do anything about it. Coupled with the fact that you could be right next to a safe point yet unable to reach it because it's blocking the path and knows you're in that room. Then it try's something cunning and climbs into a vent in that room. You think it's gone right? So you climb out from under the table and hit save, and think to yourself hurry up hurry up because it takes a few seconds to save while the Alien could still kill you. That's when you hear it, the thud of it dropping back down and screaming and the tail pierces your chest. Game over. You just lost a bunch of progress because save points are rare and not only that but it now knows you want to go to that room. The worst part is that it knew you were in that room. It didn't know exactly where so it hid in the vent. You can tell this because if you had looked up you would see the drool dripping down from said vent. The game is incredible, you can even play it in VR now but back when I played it only had mic ability so it would hear your breathing and you had to hold your breath while it was in the room. Which was still terrifying to say the least. The immersion that brings is crazy. Coupled with great story telling and characters it really brings you into the world. Even when the Xenomorph is not around you have to navigate past the void of all humanity Androids hunting you. There's never really a moment of respite at all. Next I'm going to talk about a Major spoiler so don't read if you don't want it ruined. Towards the end of the game you find out that there is actually a nest on the ship. What this means is that the Alien following you likely hasn't been the same one every time. That the reason it was able to find your location on the massive ship so quickly is because it was a different Xenomorph. Suddenly you look back at the whole game and it makes sense. You start to realise that you could never have escaped it. That time you took a transport to the other end of the Ship and somehow it dropped down from a vent as soon as you arrived? Probably it's dad or something lol. Granted if you're a fan of the series you might have expected this but the game does a good job of making you think that it's just one. Even after watching all the films multiple times I still was surprised. All in all it's a fantastic game that really immerses you into that universe by not only being true to style of the films but by filling you with a sense of dread that never ceases until you see the credits roll.

I remember playing P.T as a 14 year old because I was excited since I heard rumors that it was the next silent hill project and a demo, and boy when I played it that shit shook me for a good month and I definitely thought, that wasn’t silent hill that was a whole different beast and I hope it just stays the way it is because the enigma of the game P.T is so unsettling it doesn’t even feel like a Demo it feels like they played with your mind with a free social experiment game. Also great video I love horror games.

jakey laughing for 5 minutes about the inventor of the segway dying from driving one off a cliff is pure ok nevermind i saw the ending and now im crying

P.T. Section starts Me: “bye”

To this day, I'm still pissed at Konami for cancelling Silent Hills for what could've been the greatest horror game of all time. I know that Hideo Kojima mentioned mentioned that he still wanted to make a horror game even after what happened with Silent Hills. Here's to hoping that Kojima can recapture what made PT so special in whatever he's working on next.
