Tormented souls cancelled12/8/2022 ![]() ![]() Problem is the engine wasn’t fully available in April when the game was revealed, and the first titles are not expected to release until next year, so somehow this indie studio got their hands on a really early build. Some of these mistakes included saying the game was running in real time on Unreal Engine 5. ![]() Since a viral marketing campaign probably wouldn’t realize the lies they created. However some major flubs by the studio really led fans on to believe that it was all a cover up. A ton of coincidences that absolutely have to be some type of viral marketing, or a very ignorant wannabe developer. Fans have also drawn connections to photos of hills on their social channels, naming connections, and who follows the studio on social networks. A more recent one is an image of a blurry man with an eye patch, which was released just as rumors started to lead people to a potential Metal Gear secret. Some of these clues include “The name starts with S and ends with L,” when asking fans what they think the real games title is. Then quickly BB played into all the rumors by leading fans on with Silent Hill nods, only to quickly say “sorry, we didn’t mean to….” Then the studio followed up their apology by immediately teasing fans yet again right after apologizing. The silence by the studio and the silence by Sony, allowed fans to speculate almost anything that came to their minds. An asset flipped teaser played, and then we heard nothing else for months. BlueBox, an unknown studio with developers that only have several failed projects behind them, somehow got a blog post highlight by PlayStation. #TORMENTED SOULS CANCELLED TV#It was just one generation ago where we were all teasing Microsoft for advertising media features for a gaming platform, and yet Sony’s biggest announcement all summer was a lame Apple TV partnership. They were absolutely destroying Xbox in every way possible, and now they seem like a sleeping giant. PlayStation for the past generation was a “for the gamers” mentality. It’s a long list, but typically we are sitting here talking about PlayStation in these regards. #TORMENTED SOULS CANCELLED PLUS#Plus lets not forget GamePass is probably the best thing any gamer can get their hands on right now. They also found a way to pump excitement into an otherwise uneventful Gamescom. Earlier this year the Bethesda announcement shook the industry, and their resilience to keep games updated and released on PlayStation platforms is actually pretty amazing. All the excitement I have seems to be tied to them in some fashion. All summer, Microsoft has been bringing the excitement to gaming and to be honest without them then this past summer would have been absolutely lame. That being said it’s painful to say Xbox has been absolutely destroying them at their own game. It’s pretty clear to the team here that I’m a big fan of PlayStation, and I’ll hype them up any day of the week. Disappointing, but nothing is more disappointing than Sony’s complete silence all summer with almost no news on games at all beyond a few streams. Still there was hope for a rather cool indie game, turns out we might not even be getting that. Far reaching fans, like myself, were thinking maybe Kojima/Konami were behind their project to show off a Silent Hill title, but as things progressed everything got sloppy and that became extremely unlikely. There were a lot of us really hyped that Bluebox might actually be something cool. ![]()
