P.T Game Pc Download Punity p.t game pc download Punity. Punity is the Windows adaptation of the brilliant game P.T., the Silent Hills technical demo by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro that so thoroughly amazed and terrified players on Playstation 4. In this tribute to the Konami classic, players walk through the legendary terrifying hallway. The game system in Punity is very similar to the original P.T. Players can walk up and down the sinister hallway and take in all the details. The sounds, bumps, and strange movements you'll start noticing are what make this game amazing. The game has very similar graphics to the technical demo mentioned earlier. Most surprisingly, it uses the versatile motor Unity, so if you have a powerful operating system and can set the graphics at the highest settings, you'll be able to enjoy this spectacular terror even more. Silent Hills' P.T. teaser is now playable on PC thanks to fan remakes. P.T. was the playable teaser for Silent Hills—the reboot of the Silent Hill series that was cancelled in 2015—and even though it was short it still ranks among the best horror games of all time (and certainly one of the scariest). It never made it to PC, but thanks to a couple of fan remakes you can now give it a whirl on your mouse and keyboard. The first remake is called Corridors, and is a recreation of the game in Unreal Engine 4. It's still very much a work in progress (expect bugs), and creator SmoggyChips plans to update it with more levels in the future. You can download it here, and you can see it being worked on in the video below, which also includes snatches of gameplay. The second remake comes from Redditor LinusPixel, who has extracted animation, map, and texture files from the original and tried to stitch them together in a new engine. Some of the files are difficult to work with, but you can play a very early prototype of it here. I can't wait to see how they both turn out, and I'll keep my eye out for updates on their progress. Silent Memories P.T. P.T. (initialism for "playable teaser") is a first-person psychological horror video game developed by Kojima Productions, under the pseudonym "7780s Studio", and published by Konami. The game was directed and designed by Hideo Kojima, in collaboration with film director Guillermo del Toro. P.T. received critical acclaim for its direction, visuals, story complexity, and its supernatural horror tension build, but had mixed reception for its puzzles. This is a fan-made remake and due to engine limitations some things might be different from the original project. Silent Memories P.T let's you relive the nightmare originaly created by Hideo Kojima. Will you be able to escape once again? A full horror experience re-made in RPG Style. Don't underestimate this design choice, because this will still freak you out. Original In-Game Cutscene and all the original sounds and themes make their appearance in this remake. and many other features waiting for you.

P.T.O.: Pacific Theater of Operations II. Another intense strategy game from Koei. Set in World War II, you can choose to play as either the Japanese or American military, complete with incredibly detailed fighting units from the largest battleships and aircraft carriers down to destroyers and more.

Game Reviews. P.T.O. II is an interesting war simulation that's definitely for mature gamers with a yen for history, a mind for numbers, and plenty of time to kill. An intricate menu system enables you to manage military minutiae for either Japanese or American forces in the Pacific Theater of Operations. For example, not only do you deploy fleets and seek out enemies, but you must also attend monthly planning conferences. The emphasis is on naval maneuvers, but you also micromanage air and ground forces. ProTip: Deploy submarines to scout for enemy fleets. The sights and sounds of war are missing in action. Limited animations and tiny icons invade the graphics. The sounds attack your patience with repetitive orchestral music. They say wars are won by generals and accountants. Koei certainly took that to heart. Use aerial assaults to weaken enemy fleets prior to sea battles. Koei is synonymous with quality--but you already knew that. If you are a fan of their sims, you know exactly what you're getting when a new game comes out.That is why I don't need to tell you that PTO II is a simulator's dream.What I am going to tell you, though, is that only Super Simulator Guy is going to like this particular version. PTO II is a very complex and in-depth war simulator. Unfortunately, for those of us out there looking for some simple fun, PTO II represents nothing but a headache. Even I, a lover of Civilization and R3K, can't help but feel bogged down by PTO ITs overkill in the realism department. Unless you are ready to take on the role of Naval Commander and all of its little annoyances, don't bother with this game; it's just too damn complicated. Hobbyists resurrect Kojima’s “lost” game P.T. as a free PC download. Includes optional VR mode—for now, that mode is broken, so your pants are safe. Sam Machkovech - Jan 4, 2019 8:23 pm UTC. reader comments. Share this story. Roughly a year after Konami released P.T. , a free "Silent Hills teaser" experience for the PlayStation 4, the Japanese game publisher removed its listing. Ever since, the only way to play through this eerie, atmospheric horror vignette has been to find a PS4 that had already downloaded the demo. That changed on Friday with the release of a free, and largely authentic, replica of the experience. Unreal PT is now available for Windows PCs, and it offers a nearly identical playthrough of the PS4 original. Ars has played through the 1.6GB experience and confirmed that it delivers a remarkable version of the Hideo Kojima original. Meaning you'll want to put on headphones and get a fresh pair of pants. Many years later, P.T. still offers a uniquely unsettling experience, thanks to its mix of repetition, simplicity, creepy touches, and impeccable sound design. Unreal PT transfers all of those aspects to Windows PC, all while scaling up to true 4K resolution, leaning into impressive Unreal Engine 4 visual effects, and maxing out at your preferred frame rate. Unfortunately, the game's "wake from the ground" intro and pre-rendered conclusion are not included, so anybody brand-new to P.T. will want to watch a playthrough on YouTube after finishing to see what's missing. (In good news, the download includes a helpful "guide.txt" file to explain how to get through P.T. 's most confusing moments should you get stuck at any point.) The project's lead developer, Radius Gordello, posted a development log alongside the release to confirm roughly nine months of development time. It details the team's effort to build many of his version's assets from scratch, including "textures, models, animations, gameplay, and code." But Gordello makes no bones about reusing specific, key assets, including "Lisa's, Norman's, and the baby's models, the radio, and the pictures in the picture frames," along with every original sound effect and dialogue recording. That sheer fact makes the download's legal status particularly murky. As a bonus (or a minus, depending on your point of view), Unreal PT purports to work with VR headsets in a sit-down capacity. However, Gordello makes clear in his notes that the demo's VR implementation is far from optimal, owing to his lack of sufficient VR development equipment (he simply ran a few VR tests at a school's computer lab). In addition to being creepy as all get-out, Unreal PT 's VR implementation is absolutely broken; its only truly interesting aspect is that it fails to properly align your 3D avatar, so you can reposition your body in real-life space to see the game's real-time render of actor Norman Reedus.

  • Reality Inspired Games: Expanding the Lens of Games’ Claims to Authenticity
    Reality Inspired Games: Expanding the Lens of Games’ Claims to Authenticity Robyn McMillan, Darshana Jayemanne, Iain Donald School of Design and Informatics, Division of Games and Arts University of Abertay Bell Street, Dundee DD1 1HG +44 1382 308000 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper considers the potentials of contemporary games staking claims to realism through documentary and journalistic techniques as part of a wide-ranging cultural and technological phenomenon– ‘Reality Inspired Games’ or RIGs (Maurin, 2018). We argue that RIGs employ design techniques and strategies of legitimation that are valuable to the reactive development cycles in the indie sector, whilst also being beneficial for academic research and development. Through examining traditional documentary and the concept of Bruzzi’s performative documentary (2006) we highlight how this concept may allow developers to negotiate performativity and authenticity in their videogames. We discuss examples of such games in the realm of indie productions, such as That Dragon, Cancer (2016), This War of Mine (2014), and My Child Lebensborn (2018) and Bury Me, My Love (2017). All of which represent new ground for game design, documentary and journalistic techniques that have influenced our work on the MacMillan project. Keywords Reality Inspired Games, Documentary, Performativity, Indie “Much like photographs, paintings, literature and music are capable of transmitting the full range of the human experience from one human to another, so too can games. Due to their interactivity, games are capable of a higher form of communication, one which actively engages the participant and makes them a part of the experience rather than a passive observer” (Brathwaite & Sharp, 2010, p315).

    Don’t Forget to Save! The Impact of User Experience Design on Workflow of Authoring Video Game Narratives (Transfer Thesis) Daniel Green Department of Science and Technology Bournemouth University A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2019 This page is intentionally left blank. This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. This page is intentionally left blank. Abstract Since their inception, video games have been a capable storytelling device. This is only amplified as technology improves. Contemporary video games boast awide range of interaction and presentational techniques that can enrich the narrative experience. Supporting authors with tools to prototype their stories, or even as direct integration into a game, is vital. This is especially important as the complexity and length of such narratives continues to increase. Designing these kinds of tools is no easy feat. In order to develop authoring systems for game developers that support prototyping or implementation of their envisioned narratives, we must gain an understanding of the underlying constituents that make up video game narrative and their structural and relational properties. Additionally, when designing the interface of and interactions with such systems, the User Experience (UX) design decisions taken may impact the workflow of the authors to implement their vision. Therefore, we must also gain an understanding of how various UX design paradigms alter the usability of our programs.

  • PT, Freud, and Psychological Horror
    Press Start Silent Halls Silent Halls: P.T., Freud, and Psychological Horror Anna Maria Kalinowski York University, Toronto Abstract “What is a ghost?” “An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over…” —The Devil’s Backbone (Del Toro, 2001) This paper analyses P.T. (Kojima Productions, 2014), a playable teaser made to demo a planned instalment within the Silent Hill franchise. While the game is now indefinitely cancelled, P.T. has cemented itself not only as a full gaming experience, but also as a juggernaut in the genre of psychological horror. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s concept of the uncanny, the aim of the paper is to address how these psychological concepts surface within the now infamous never-ending hallway of P.T. and create a deeply psychologically horrifying experience. Keywords psychological horror; the uncanny; Freud; game design; Press Start 2019 | Volume 5 | Issue 1 ISSN: 2055-8198 URL: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk Press Start is an open access student journal that publishes the best undergraduate and postgraduate research, essays and dissertations from across the multidisciplinary subject of game studies. Press Start is published by HATII at the University of Glasgow. Kalinowski Silent Halls Introduction The genre of psychological horror is a complex one to navigate through with ease, especially for those that are faint of heart. Despite its contemporary popularity, when the sub-genre first began to emerge within horror films, it was considered to be a detriment to the horror genre (Jancovich, 2010, p. 47). The term ‘psychological’ was often used to disguise the taming of horror elements instead of pushing the genre into more terrifying territories.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

  • Restless Dreams and Shattered Memories: Psychoanalysis and Silent Hill
    B R U M A L Revista de Investigación sobre lo Fantástico DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5565/rev/brumal.182 Research Journal on the Fantastic Vol. III, n.° 1 (primavera/spring 2015), pp. 161-182, ISSN: 2014–7910 RESTLESS DREAMS AND SHATTERED MEMORIES: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND SILENT HILL Ewan Kirkland University of Brighton [email protected] Recibido: 25-01-2015 Aceptado: 18-05-2015 Abstract This paper applies psychoanalytic frameworks to the survival horror franchise Silent Hill, a series which is itself informed by psychoanalytic themes. Concerns include the construction of game space as maternal womb, cinematic sequences as primal fanta- sies, and the representation of memory across the games within a psychoanalytic con- text. The horror genres’ preoccupation with monstrous mother figures is evident in boss battle adversaries, the depiction of gamespaces as bloody «maternal caves», and in narratives concerning characters’ searching for their parental origins Distinguishing between videogames’ playable sequences and cinematics as conscious and sub-con- scious aspects, cut-scenes are analysed as reproducing primal fantasies, serving to ex- plain protagonists’ backstory and situating play within narrative contexts. Such mo- ments intrude into the game, marking transformations between the ordinary world and the abject Otherworld, or heralding the emergence of psychoanalytically-resonant monstrous creatures which the protagonist must destroy. Finally, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is examined as a game which, even more than others, foregrounds the series’ explicit reference to psychoanalytic preoccupations, engaging with contemporary un- derstandings concerning the relationship between memory, media and fantasy. Keywords: Silent Hill, survival horror, psychoanalysis, videogames, memory. Resumen En el presente artículo se aplica el marco de estudio psicoanalítico a la serie de survival horror Silent Hill, ella misma basada en temas psicoanalíticos.

  • Audience-Producer Relationships and Their Effect on Let's Play
    “We can show that!” Audience-Producer Relationships and Their Effect on Let’s Play Production Nikki Miller 1 According to popular belief and Internet rumor, the start of the Let’s Play, abbreviated as LP in this paper, as it became known as a video medium, is attributed to user Michael “slowbeef” Sawyer on the Something Awful forums in 2007. Sawyer used an emulator to provide a walkthrough for The Immortal on the SEGA Genesis. Although there ​ ​ is no in-game audio, Sawyer provides what he described as a kind of “player’s commentary” as he played the game, and thus, the modern LP was born. Sawyer actually goes further back on the forums and credits the idea to text-and-image-based LPs, where forum users would document their playing experience using screenshots, and others would chime in with ideas or hints. Although there is no evidence of it in the archives, Kotaku and members of the Something Awful forum credit the coining of the term “Let’s Play” to a fabled Oregon ​ Trail thread, where “‘someone would start a story and draw panels/images, with thread ​ posters dictating where the story went next’” (Karlsson in Klepek, 2015). This Oregon Trail ​ thread has since been lost to time, as it no longer exists in the Something Awful Forum ​ ​ archives, and exists only in user memories. Following that one, the next LP in this form to gain popularity was one of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, which itself credits the ​ ​ original Oregon Trail thread. Not only did this LP explode with users who had never even ​ ​ bothered to engage with this kind of post on the forum, it ended with a video file of the end of the game.

    AUTEUR THEORY IN VIDEO GAMES: RECOGNIZING HIDEO KOJIMA AND THATGAMECOMPANY AS AUTEURS IN THE VIDEO GAME MEDIUM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY JULES PATALITA DR. ASHLEY DONNELLY - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2018 AUTEUR THEORY IN VIDEO GAMES 1 CHAPTER ONE-INTRODUCTION “The critic Roger Ebert once drew a crucial distinction between video games and art: he said that the ultimate objective of a video game—unlike that of a book, film, or poem—is to achieve a high score, vaporize falling blocks, or save the princess. Art, he argued, cannot be won” (Parker, 2013, para. 1). This shows a longstanding stereotype about video games, that they are less important than other forms of entertainment. “The joke is, video games are inherently stupid. Once you realize that this is the fundamental underlying narrative of the culture with respect to video games, so much else starts to make sense…I refer to this condition as game shame” (Burgan, 2013, p. 93). But is there reason behind this shame? Even if this was true with the arcade games of the 80s, the medium has surely evolved beyond this criticism. Now on par with the budgets of Hollywood releases, the video game industry is producing games with financial success rivaling film. In 2016, American consumers spent $30.4 billion on video game content; since just 2010, there’s been an almost $10 billion rise in revenue (Entertainment Software Association, 2017). This is calculating just American consumers, a fraction of the overall consumers of the medium.
