@jdv95 I started off a few weeks back thinking there was no connection but now I’m like 65%/35% thinking that it’s a real thing. Will be very interested to see if anything actually results from the 22nd.
@colonelkilgore i'm calling it now:on the 22nd sony will announce their ps5 event and the "silent hill" trailer will end with a text saying to expect more info on the ps5 event's date.
the trailer will only imply it is silent hill with the actuall reveal at the ps5 event confirming it.
Looks like we're gonna have to wait a little longer to find out exactly what's going in with this Abandoned situation, the Apps just been delayed from the 22nd (tomorrow) to the 25th (Friday).
I saw a video regarding this whole situation and wow this is incredibly bizarre with some of the lengths people are going to. I honestly have no clue as to what it could be and if it's Kojima or not.
That's all I have to say unfortunately but either way whoever it is they've certainly managed to capture people's attention!

As I've said previously, it's quite rare that something like this erupts and captures the imagination of the gaming community in the way that this has. I think we should all just enjoy it while it lasts and not get too butt-hurt when all is revealed.
I do get a lot of people wanting to remain a little 'too cool for school' and not open themselves up to getting excited about something that could all just be nothing or even one big con (Dev con 2021)... one thing that just sticks with me on this though, is the game title Demon Blood on Hasan Kahraman's verified PSN account. Its not a real game and has the Siren Head icon next to it as it's symbol... and obviously Junji Eto tweeted regarding Siren Head when announcing that he would be working with Kojima on a horror game around a year ago.
It could be nothing, it could be a clever use of symbolism by an opportunist... or it could be Kojima up to his old tricks.
@colonelkilgore Same for me. Even though I don't believe the rumour at all, it's been fun to see what people come up with, and love the lengths that people go to dissect any aspect of Abandoned.
Take for instance the 'Hideo/Kamahran/Hero' thing. It's false of course, because there actually is a person called Kamahran that registered the company. So if this Kamahran isn't real, then Kojima Productions would break the law pretty much. But even though it's not a real hint towards anything, it's still been fun to read about.
What I find a bit troublesome is that the dev has already said they don't find the theories fun, and have gone public to state multiple times there's no connection. Maybe when someone says 'stop, it's not fun anymore' we should respect that, and not search further, not dig deeper.
Because to many it may have sounded fun, but thousands of people have gone to great lengths to investigate his person, digging up stuff, making assumptions, finding personal details, approaching them. It might not be 'just fun' to them.
@Thrillho LOL I hope your joking. It really is quite ridiculous the lengths some people will go to with these things. I had a HK symbol in my toast this morning. Silent Hills confirmed
Some may think it does no harm, but some people do get their hopes and expectations up unrealistically, and then get massively disappointed. Not healthy for some people to do that on a regular basis.
@Kidfried possibly KF, but if (which is very possible) there is no connection it would tend to indicate that Hasan Kahraman implemented some of the things to look like coincidences in an effort to spark the interest. In which case, he would simply be reaping what he sowed imho.
@JohnnyShoulder as someone who wears his Abandoned-cynicism on his sleeve, I'm interested to hear your take on the potential Demon Blood-Siren Head-Junji Eto connection.
There's a thing called human decency, which works very simple. When someone says 'no', you just accept it. There's no political angle to this, just human decency. It doesn't matter if someone else started the joke, or even laughed about it an hour ago, at some point they can not find it funny anymore, not feel taken seriously anymore or not feel safe anymore, or maybe they couldn't calculate the results of their actions. They ask to stop, I stop. Just human decency.
("You reap what you sow" is what people told me when I've been made fun of online in the past, and also when I was bullied even longer ago. Bullies, whether aware or unaware, will always try to convince the victim that they brought it onto themselves. I hate that saying.)
@Kidfried It's just my opinion but if Hasan Kahraman specifically put things in place to garner attention knowing that it was because he set it up to make people think it was for a separate, far more desirable product... he would be an idiot to assume that some people might tweet him some less than savoury content if caught out.
The very tip of the iceberg was the starts with S and ends with L tweet. There were already rumours way before that tweet connecting Abandoned to a Kojima Silent Hill game, so if this all comes to nothing, Kahraman knew exactly what he was letting himself in for when the tweet was sent.
Do I encourage online abuse? No. Would I partake? No. But you play with fire and you get burned.
