I really love how they completely ignore everything I criticized about them (Deleting tweets, lying about technical details, being unable to fix their fictional technical issues) and just keep saying "Nah game isn't cancelled!". I never said it was cancelled I said they're liars.
What I find funny is they keep bringing up things that weren't mentioned. It feels like a one-sided conversation with them. They should listen/read more thoroughly and respond properly. I harbor no ill will but I am skeptical so hopefully they recollect themselves and not overhype the game since they don't have much to back up their statements as of now.
I bet the prologue is just a stock unreal wooden house in a forest and when you walk through the first door you get the message "full demo coming soon".
Even better if it’s developed in real time so people have to constantly update and play the demo, “oh today you get to sit your character on this nice wooden stool we added, tomorrow we fix your character clipping through the floor” 🤡
As a developer...I gotta be honest and say, whoever made that demo was likely not very competent. There isn't enough detail or objects to warrant such a file size. I mostly work on PC but I'd wager that on PS5 it would likely be even less data. (Not dissing PS5, but you generally want to be even more optimized for the platform you are working on. Same would have been said for Xbox, and especially the Switch as it's even less powerful)
Blue box def seems like a scam and the fact they've existed for as long as they have is nuts. After so many unreleased and cancelled games I don't know how people keep falling for it.
Vaporware is what I think you mean. A Scam would be something we already paid for that has nothing and then they become silent. Canceling games doesn't mean "scam" it means poor management, no organization, and vaporware
@@sf8xx269 all they scammed was your time so i wouldnt really call it a scam, more like we got bamboozled by a wannabe kojima who was in a need for some attention
@@sf8xx269 that’s not a scam. Have they asked for any money? Have they taken anything from you? Did the hustle you for anything? No. A scam is when someone tricks you into giving them something and they don’t give you anything in return.
I’m convinced also this game does not exist at all, the way they’re presenting themselves this entire time is obviously suspicious, they can’t give us one shred of gameplay, or even a cinematic trailer because they’re “afraid” of what people will think? That right there tells me everything I need to know, and when they said the prologue will be a “paid for” chapter and that the money will be used to finish the final product, is that before the game is even developed, during development or end of development? Lots of questions, no answers, and while this developer seems like they’re trying to be honest and transparent on the surface, that’s also just more lies. Admitting to mistakes, but still not addressing the fact they have no game to show for it. So I’m convinced Blue Box is a smoke and mirrors operation, reminds me of another smoke and mirrors studio under Nintendo that was supposedly working games that never materialized and was never heard from again.
@@10191927 I believe they are trying to make a game but have no idea what they want and are a constantly changing the scope. They aren’t getting anything out of it other than attention and Sony wouldn’t give them a blog spot. They just have poor management and can’t stick to an idea is my guess. The classic, invite everyone to the party but there isn’t anything ready.
@@ClassyCrustatio - I just think they’re liars and scammers at the heart of all this, everything could simply be cleared up by showing a full trailer, behind the scenes, something, anything at this point rather than continuing to deliver absolutely nothing. I think 2022 will continue without anything from this studio, I just don’t think it exists.
I totally forgot who Blue Box where that for a second there I thought you where talking about a new Orange Box made by Valve. I got hyped there for a second NGL
See, if they were going to do anything crazy, their moment was last year when them rumors started to go around, right now almost everyone I've seen either had forgotten about this or is just rolling their eyes If making this whole deal was part of the plan to rile up attention m, then they jumped the gun too damn fast
Yep, I forgot about it too, I was genuinely surprised that I managed to remember everything I heard about it when Yong started talking about it in the recap
honestly, the whole situation and a lot of what they're saying comes off as them trying to do some Kojima style teasing but it got too big and they had to scramble to make an actual game it *might* have originally been a real game that got cancelled but now Blue Box are just victims of their own disaster where they have to make something to try and at least lessen the pr damage whatever it ends up being, i hope for the best but i don't expect much
Doubtful, seeing as they are forcing productions with menial work, ripping off artists, and even baiting investors using AAA IP material as a shadow to hide behind. I'd say complete scam / flop incoming. It feels more like they are robbing investors and then abandoning the game to run.
@@sown-laughter4351 personally feel like that's 1 possibly of what it originally was considering their track record and some of what they said came off as them barely starting production but they flew too close to the sun with the teasing and now have to put out something or risk somehow even worse blowback
Recently they tried to contact konami about silent hill, like thats what they always do, they ask for an apology and to be treated normally, then they build more hype.
Egg on my face if this take turns out to be false, but we’ve seen this play out many times before. It gives me Billy McFarland (Fyre fest) and Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) vibes, obviously less serious though since it’s a game. An inexperienced, young personality that has inklings of talent wants to make a huge splash in the world like their idols, without really having the means to. Their heart and intention may be real, but they inadvertently string people along and create a con. I can empathize with the guy, he seems nice enough. But unfortunately, like the other individuals I mentioned, he suffers from narcissism. There will either be no game, or it will be released as a puddle of nothing that substantial. Watch - next they’ll announce another delay because they want to use the shiny new Unreal 5 without really having the ability to take advantage of it.
"The prologue will fund the main game" yeah sure, people will spend money and get nothing. Everything about the BB situation screams that its a giant scam. :/
it seems like he wants to get the money and then make the game? thats not how games work lol get a job for a publisher and stop wasting peoples time lol
SERIOUSLY Let’s go Blue Balls studio I’m sick of whatever this is. It’s gone too far, I feel scammed by this fiasco and I haven’t spent anything but time on it.
That's the thing that gets me, this is obviously a con of some kind and yet there isn't a public facing buy in anywhere? Investment from Sony or someone else somehow? You'd hope they'd do the background check to see the pattern of behaviour
Yeah nobody should even cover this crap unless they can prove they actually have something. Anyone can say they got a game coming but gotta be some type of proof 🤷🏻♂️
its annoying people are reporting on bluebox and the konami thing like the comparison was a misunderstanding and forgetting they set this up to look like pt and like a kojima game. Even getting caught using metal gear assets to promote the game before deleting the picture and other things.
Yeah,tell it to people that still ask why there was hype and attentions on them. For sure we were stupid at this point to think it was Silent Hill (or even a MGS) but BlueBox played a lot on this,I remember that just after a while they said "nono,this is not Silent Hill" while still teasing people. They milked the hype to get attentions and probably didn't keep up with the big hype around.
@@salvo27 yup he was basically playing up the hype up like kojima did with pt. Now his scam got exposed all he can do now is get free press and cry and lie on stream about a game that won't ever be finished truly.
I understand him being scared of showing his work. I do a lot of 3D character modeling in Zbrush and I was definitely scared to show my work. Especially knowing there is phenomenal artists out there and I've seen their works. Thing is, I had to overcome that and just put my work up on Artstation and just take the dive. I knew if I didn't, no one would know my work and I had to start somewhere. Now, I've had professionals like my work which is something that feels great.
This dude would be way more successful if he just made a line of merch that says “I didn’t expect that.” He shows every trait of compulsive liar/scam artist. The whole bit about him being “scared” to show any of the game. That’s just straight up pity bait. Gtfoh here with this guy. Just let him fade away into obscurity and failure and stop giving him the attention he wants.
Agreed Fugoo, and to add, in the last interaction with Yong they even started pushing the narrative of "people shouldn't (towards us)..." and "we deserve..." and are moving into gaslighting territory. As Yong noted, they're not Kojima. They haven't "earned" anything. They even are in need of proving themselves of trust which they have already destroyed with their utter lack of credibility before they even had the trust to begin with. I would expect that if content creators and journalists have any further interest and start questioning the credibility of Blue Box more directly in the future, we would start to see things like veiled or direct threats of lawsuits. If Blue Box is in any way legit, they've a long way to go and should put their head(s) down and get to work.
@@uncleshultzy5534 If this "company" has a real world location with a real address and working employees I imagine it's a laundering scheme or some kind of front for illegal activity. No one creates a business, burns money and doesn't sell a product. Doesn't make sense. I don't pretend to know anything about this. But it seems to me their trying to cover themselves if anyone asks (government) about their operation. They have a audience and claim to be bringing a product to market at some point. If and I stress if, its a troll it's kinda be some idiot with too much time and money whom will ultimately be forgotten quite soon. Best thing we can do is ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist, because I assure you they have nothing to sell. Or anything gamers will care about.
@@HCUhardcoreUnited "No one creates a business, burns money and doesn't sell a product." At least not one who managed to get in bed with a bigger organization like Sony.
@@Waltersop while i admit death stranding wasnt really my thing i wouldnt call it a "walking simulator" at least you had enemies to fight dangers to avoid and weapons etc etc. a walking simulator refers to games where all you do is walk and listen basically needing just one button and a joystick to play.
@@Waltersop I would say it is a more involved walking simulator. Atleast you have the consequences of dying making it a more engaging walking simulator hehe.
Even if this game manages to actually see the light of day, there's no conceivable way it will live up to the expectations of the gaming community, and that is not our fault, but the fault of a developer who is No Man Skying their way into irredeemable obscurity. EDIT: At 24:48 It hit me. That's what they are doing. Or trying to do. They are hoping they pique the interest of Sony or another publisher to see them flailing in the wind, and swoop in and save them. That might genuinely be their long game.
I was beginning to wonder how things were going for them the other day. I'm more curious how Sony feels with them being overdue on their deadlines with delivering their game.
They've likely been canceled and defunded. Don't green lights allot of unique stuff, but this is a big stretch. No way did Sony keep them on after missing every deadline and now that it's obvious all of this was a huge lie
I think Blue Box should just come out with a statement that says: We're sorry for the cancellation of this game. We're giving up on the project as we've discovered we're not cut out to make games!"
It we'll be the first part of the message except "'we've discovered we're not cut out to make games!" will be replaced by: "We are now working on a new project." LOL
Why does it feel like they trying to make us feel guilty for some reason or put blame on us? "you don't understand" "we are not what you think we are" "you put pressure on us". What is that? If you have a product, release it and sell it. If you don't, stop crying and go away till you have it. Where did those people came from to behave in such an irrational way.
I don't get why they're still talking if they don't have ANY content to show, if there really is something they should have said "hey people we announced too early and we'll be going radio silent until we have something to show you", and then only opened their mouths again when they had something to show Imagine if Hasan had something to show today, i'd honestly have been surprised by them actually not being a scam, but instead he comes out with weird guilt-tripping statements
@@Spike2276 When everyone forgot about them, that was their chance to work on something and then only speak up once they have something to show. Instead it's just another round of "We don't have anything yet, please feel sorry for us"
"I'm scared to show my work 🥺" WELCOME TO MAKING ART. Wtf? It sounds like he's never made a game before. No shit dude! That's how literally EVERYONE who makes things feels! You just gotta do it. If you're not confident in your own work then how is anyone else supposed to be. Look at Hyper Light Breaker! That game got announced like a day or two and the hype was through the roof! You know why? BECAUSE THEY TOLD US WHAT THE GAME WAS. A sequel to a 2D pixel art game that makes a jump to 3D while retaining its art style. They even had screenshots and a professional af animation!
I'm an indie dev myself and there's no way I'd just start announcing any of the titles I was working on until alpha staging since they typically end up being used as shells for other projects. The fact that this "studio" was doing idea-guy announcements _and_ getting free marketing from Sony is nuts, just pissing all that goodwill away. I don't want to fathom how much money this guy has scammed so far since there's so many legit indie devs out there barely eking by who would kill for any attention.
I think the guy's record speaks for itself, there's no point discussing anything further once it's established he's a crook. Also, blame the video game "medias" for giving him an audience. The hype didn"t happen by magic.
Eh, it wasn't the media. It was normal-ass people who have tricked themselves into thinking this had anything to do with Silent Hill. These are the same people who watch videos where some nervous narrator breathes uneasily into a microphone as they zoom in on the spacing of the fridge magnets in The Shining, thinking that Kubrick was speaking to them beyond the grave.
@@0hMyGandhi ahah yeah ikwym. but the game got some traction at some point and this stupid hype around the mystery was gold for websites looking for the next indie genius, and for clicks. They didn't start it tho, you're right.
Dude, i've been following you for a good few years now (since the python selkan MGSV days) and although I don't comment, I absolutely love what you do and I appreciate you man. You do so much for the gaming community, it's just insane! Mad props to you all the way from London UK my guy 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 wishing you a prosperous 2022 bro 🙏🏼❤💛💚
So... I'm guessing the "prologue" is all they have been able to come up with yet and depending on how well it does they may think about actually doing a full game. Just my suspicions.
there probably isnt any prologue, lets be real for a second, we would have seen at the very least a screenshot or even some concept art but no, all we got was a 5 second clip of a dude walking and some UE4 assets. sounds more like those shitty steam early access games where they just do asset flips and sells those ''games'' for 15 bucks.
The problem is that Blue Box doesn’t even seem to understand that they have no idea what they’re doing. Bringing further attention to their development status before they even have realistic expectations of completing the game is an utter waste of time.
I managed to find a copy of The Haunting that Blue Box doesn't want out there, it's... interesting to say the least. It's definitely longer than the Abandoned app on the PS5 store.
Seems like blue box has been reaching out and confessing to alot of RUclipsrs. I think he's trying to.get more traction again. He's already confessed the whole thing was a scam. They are con artist
@@Allustar if you search for other major gaming news channels, BlueBox has been featured on their videos. Hasan even got interviewed and did a podcast basically confessing the game hasn't even started development and that's it's a scam. They are con artist trying to get s quick buck.
@@Allustar probably not true, the only real reason people are upset Is because they made rumours of it being silent hill and it's not true. Yong Yea is saying he's copying kojimas strategy for teasing and interviewing. classic kojima fanboys saying interviewing and hyping the game is copying Kohima 😭 we'll find out when the game comes out.
Reaching out to you personally is A good sign that Hopefully they’re being genuine about putting out a product, and hopefully that product is at least mildly impressive even if flawed.
The fault lies with people for reading so hard into this and creating MattPat level theories about this random ass company. It was so obvious what they were doing.
I think it’s a mixed bag, what with BlueBox being seemingly allergic to transparency, but you raise a vital point. The Kojima fan base can get pretty rabid, as well as the Silent Hill fan base, and when you put them together, well, you get this.
@@EdenHellCipher Exactly. This "game" and company came into focus when Kojima left Konami, Silent Hill was put out to slaughter, and people - - wiping away tears - - put all their faith in this super obscure project. I can't even imagine how jealous other developers are of all the free press this "studio" gets.
@@ethanbryant1997 All the clues are hidden in plain sight. The camera cuts are pin point accurate on the text (hardly the work of an amature) synced with the music. There are AAA games that can't get this correct. The Lyrics of the song played during the teaser and the obvious clothing that matches James Sunderland exactly.
Everyone should've realized a long time ago it was a scam. Their entire studio's history was a legacy of a bunch of scams. An entire graphic. It was insane people were forcing themselves to fall for it.
It’s weird, I’d forgotten all about BlueBox until just the other day. I thought I’d see if there were any interesting updates, there was nothing. The next day, this mess happened. Clearly, this is a conspiracy and BlueBox only exists if people are looking at it. Hashtag: Silent Hil1s by Hidetaka Kojima Confirmed. Seriously though, this has been my favorite train wreck to follow, but I feel bad for everyone involved. They might have ruined their reputation forever with this. Whatever they were/are trying to do, whatever it might be or could have been, it’ll just be overshadowed by this.
If y'all haven't heard the Colin Moriarty interview with Hasan Kahraman, I highly recommend it. It's worth the patreon subscription, but I imagine it's gonna be posted on youtube for free at some point because the interview is truly insane from beginning to end. Nothing the guy says makes any sense.
Sounds like what common videogame scammers do, they try to make hype for something but doesn't want to show anything. Then after a couple of years of people investing in the project they just suddenly disappear or change name and start a new project.
Of course they were just random indie developers. I don't know how they got to be part of that playstation presents but the people who were doing mental gymnastics trying to say it was Kojima because the main character of Abandoned had a freakin eyepatch were genuinely insane
Still waiting to see that trailer Kojima was editing! Kojima tweeted that he'd finished editing the shortest trailer ever, this was within 24hrs of Blue Box giving us what could be the shortest trailer ever on the Abandoned real time app. Yeah that still hasn't been explained
This feels like they are trying to come across as the "underdogs" being over shadowed by big bad big industry and they have to keep barking (teasing/marketing) so that they dont become forgotten.
Indie studio with a history of cancelled projects and this new project is getting missed deadlines upon missed deadlines tells me that they will be milking everything they can. So I don't hold out ANY hope of this now "Prologue" version to be any good. They claimed a FULL release last year (or at least didn't mention anything about a paid pre-release) and only (potentially) releasing a cut down paid demo does not bode well. I don't have a PS5 but should they release this, or another game, on a platform I own, I would avoid it like the plague.
Ya know what this is remindin' me of? Friggin' Peter Molyneux. Just without the prior pedigree of decent titles BEFORE the overselling games that were, at the end of the day, just okay.
Yong: "This is something I'm not gonna go over, I've made plenty of videos about this stuff." Also Yong: *proceeds to spend 1/4 of the video talking about it anyway
"Stop tweeting start creating" ~Mori Calliopie - Off With Their Heads I believe Blue Box needs to take this to heart, especially with their marketing. It's probably their best option. He DESPERATELY wants to be Kojima. But then you remember, 5:54, they've been doing this for 6+ YEARS at this point... Ever since going solo/indie. Being skeptical of them at this point is MORE than understandable. The worst part is I believe that they CAN make high quality games. I remember their old logo, a literal blue box with an open top, being on one of my favorite games... But it's entirely possible my memory is wrong on that.
They gotta be a scam. Because of their history of not producing any “real” games and now (maybe) this one like the many others. They can easily make a game in Roblox and have it produced. Many people are doing that now. Something’s fishy. Lol
The dev is clearly too shady to trust. Everybody should do like the game says. "Abandon" any hype you have and accept the dev is incompetent and should "Abandon" development like he did with every project before it.
Yong is of course being as nice to them as possible, but I’d like to point something out: If they’re so afraid of putting their work out in front of the audience, why are they making the game in the first place?
Because he's afraid to get backlash when he shows the barebones progress they made instead of just releasing it and hoping that some suckers buy it to make a quick buck.
Anyone want to bet that the devs tease the prologue, slap a "part 1" on it at the last minute, try to charge $40+ for about 2 hours of terribly buggy gameplay and call it a win?
A game called "Abandoned" being in fact giving people out there the feeling of it being actually "abandoned" is the kind of 4D chess someone like Kojima likes to play, this just convinces me more that there is more to this story than we know.
It's too obvious the guy is expecting some naive guy/company to invest into the "promise" of the game to get more and more funding and at the end never release the game, just like Star Citizen.
I have a feeling that this "prologue" is their "main" game ,its going to be short and bad like some horror games you find with 1$ (no offence to the indie/new devs)
This Hasan is really depressing me how naïve and clueless he is. The dude should stop being mere news fodder to random youtube rehashers stop nurturing headlines on social media. He should fade into the background and work on the game. Then go to early access directly for people to see. He doesn't need extra exposition. In fact he has and uphill battle for this game and his name to not be dismissed forever as the sad joke of 2021-2022.
@@lordanonimmo7699 He's clueless about the fact that he think reaching out now and playing the genuine mea culpa card is gonna save him from further backlash. Nothing is stopping this train coming to him. Unless there's an actual something that people can actually experience, dismiss then move on in some undetermined time. Or he fades away , never to be speaken about.
I wonder why he keeps trying, though. Is he trying to get fellow dickheads to donate to him by tricking the media into making hay of his act and thus spreading word of his existence?
As an experienced Teaser who has given many a woman Blue Box, I have to say that you absolutely must know when to give the full release or they will start to feel Abandoned.
🤔 My impression of this game, I’m guessing it’ll be like Heavy Rain, a cinematic style interactive game but with a survival element, that’s all it seems to be that they’re hyping up. Or it could be like a Tell Tale game, has an interactive story with branching paths mixed with survival. It could be fun, it would be nice if they just did a simple presentation showing off the main character, what the game will be, maybe some artwork of what’s being worked on, just something to give gamers….well…anything. The fact that even a patch for an app is still not coming after all this time is definitely suspect, there’s just too many suspicious elements surrounding this studio. I personally think it’s vaporware, or their ambitions are so lofty and unattainable that the game will simply never see the light of day and the app will never be patched.
I remember them saying that their RUclips channel was hacked & was removed too. Perhaps they removed it themselves.... I don't know what to think/believe anymore 😕
@YongYear PT wasn't free. Kojima used a lot of funding from the game he was currently working on Metal Gear Solid V to make the demo. it was more or less Konami didn't know about it until it was thrown up. if i'm not mistaken this is one of the many reasons why he left/let go.
The fact they seemed to use a blurred yet visible image of Big Boss in Metal Gear 5 as part of their marketing is nuts and I'm surprised Konami haven't sued them (unless they are part of Blue Box).

Stay savvy
Love your cut content videos!
no the game are not cancelled but it is abandoned lol
Sounds like earth 2 and Chronicles of elyria
I will say, Blue Box gave this game the perfect title. Because it probably will be "abandoned".
Feels like the whole "game" may have just been a elaborate marketing scheme to try and steal investment funds.
Also, Osea forever.
Lol that’s so true 👌🏻😂🤣
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was already Abandoned.
He’s a marketing genius if he manages to get it out. I’ve seen more publicity for this than any game out recently
That's so meta, right?

bet they will slap some music on it, add maybe a bit of jumpscare eerie sound on the environment, and charge $10 for the "experience"
The texture is a free wood texture, i know because I’ve used it.
@@RusticRonnie What's the texture called and where can I find it so I can compare it? Unreal market place?
I will never forget the day we all downloaded the app just to get treated with a 7 second clip of a person’s footsteps walking on a wooden floor…
and the fact that they posted the same clip on twitter to tease the app lol...
That was a mega troll
Shame on you, I didn't. I waited for people to get trolled.
That was dirrrty
As a developer...I gotta be honest and say, whoever made that demo was likely not very competent. There isn't enough detail or objects to warrant such a file size.

I would say because we really wanted Silent Hills. Like really really REALLY wanted it.
Vaporware is what I think you mean. A Scam would be something we already paid for that has nothing and then they become silent. Canceling games doesn't mean "scam" it means poor management, no organization, and vaporware

We're going to get the ol' "our computers crashed, and we lost everything. aw shucks." pretty soon.
It's true.
I’m convinced also this game does not exist at all, the way they’re presenting themselves this entire time is obviously suspicious, they can’t give us one shred of gameplay, or even a cinematic trailer because they’re “afraid” of what people will think?

This guy seems like he is gearing up for a Netflix documentary more than a videogame
Fyre festival style
or to be the next CEO of a AAA publisher. He's got the skills.
The Colin interview was fantastic.
He asked the right questions. I recommend watching it.

@@RonaeJohnson it’s from his podcast called Sacred Symbols on Patreon but it’s also on his RUclips channel called Last Stand Media 👍🏼
@@Jgiuly999 thanks man
It was the most irritating yet hilarious interview. Hasan didn't clear much of anything
I totally forgot who Blue Box where that for a second there I thought you where talking about a new Orange Box made by Valve. I got hyped there for a second NGL
I was thinking Black Box and thought he was talking about Skate 4 and got excited and scared, I need a new skate.
You were right, confirmed.
that’s what i thought at first also lol i’ve never heard of these people
Blue Box would seem appropriate for an Orange Box sequel considering that the original Portal was in it...
You can play "the green box" it's a fan made mod for the orang box that lets you play HL2, Portal and TF2 as Shrek.
See, if they were going to do anything crazy, their moment was last year when them rumors started to go around, right now almost everyone I've seen either had forgotten about this or is just rolling their eyes
If making this whole deal was part of the plan to rile up attention m, then they jumped the gun too damn fast
So what your saying is that we the players....Abandoned it?
Pretty sure they abandonned us last year but ok
Yep, I forgot about it too, I was genuinely surprised that I managed to remember everything I heard about it when Yong started talking about it in the recap
@@mrplayfulshade bun dun tis
The name is forshadowing.
"Stop with the buzz, and engage with the substance of your game" So yeah imma just clip that part every time im tempted now.
Thanks Yong ^^
They should’ve renamed themselves to Blue Balls, because that’s basically their whole shtick.
honestly, the whole situation and a lot of what they're saying comes off as them trying to do some Kojima style teasing but it got too big and they had to scramble to make an actual game
it *might* have originally been a real game that got cancelled but now Blue Box are just victims of their own disaster where they have to make something to try and at least lessen the pr damage
whatever it ends up being, i hope for the best
but i don't expect much
Doubtful, seeing as they are forcing productions with menial work, ripping off artists, and even baiting investors using AAA IP material as a shadow to hide behind. I'd say complete scam / flop incoming. It feels more like they are robbing investors and then abandoning the game to run.
@@sown-laughter4351 personally feel like that's 1 possibly of what it originally was considering their track record and some of what they said came off as them barely starting production
but they flew too close to the sun with the teasing and now have to put out something or risk somehow even worse blowback
0000009
I dont belive in that studio after knowing all their cancelled projects and their bait trying to conect with SH
Recently they tried to contact konami about silent hill, like thats what they always do, they ask for an apology and to be treated normally, then they build more hype.
Egg on my face if this take turns out to be false, but we’ve seen this play out many times before. It gives me Billy McFarland (Fyre fest) and Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) vibes, obviously less serious though since it’s a game. An inexperienced, young personality that has inklings of talent wants to make a huge splash in the world like their idols, without really having the means to. Their heart and intention may be real, but they inadvertently string people along and create a con.
I can empathize with the guy, he seems nice enough. But unfortunately, like the other individuals I mentioned, he suffers from narcissism. There will either be no game, or it will be released as a puddle of nothing that substantial. Watch - next they’ll announce another delay because they want to use the shiny new Unreal 5 without really having the ability to take advantage of it.
"they'll announce another delay because they want to use the shiny new Unreal 5"
So this will be the next Duke Nukem Forever?
Also like #69.
And they'll be called out cause UE4>5 conversion is very VERY easy.
Bluebox are taking their game's title on a serious level.
They're seeing how long it takes for people to realize that the title's a scam admission hiding in plain sight.
"The prologue will fund the main game" yeah sure, people will spend money and get nothing. Everything about the BB situation screams that its a giant scam. :/
it seems like he wants to get the money and then make the game? thats not how games work lol get a job for a publisher and stop wasting peoples time lol
SERIOUSLY Let’s go Blue Balls studio I’m sick of whatever this is. It’s gone too far, I feel scammed by this fiasco and I haven’t spent anything but time on it.
That's the thing that gets me, this is obviously a con of some kind and yet there isn't a public facing buy in anywhere? Investment from Sony or someone else somehow? You'd hope they'd do the background check to see the pattern of behaviour
It's just a scam at this point.
you got all worked up over a studio making a trailer for a game they somewhat led on was kojima related? bro get a life.
Yeah nobody should even cover this crap unless they can prove they actually have something. Anyone can say they got a game coming but gotta be some type of proof 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheSasukefire11 you got worked up by a comment… :)
My theory is they never actually started production for the game
its annoying people are reporting on bluebox and the konami thing like the comparison was a misunderstanding and forgetting they set this up to look like pt and like a kojima game. Even getting caught using metal gear assets to promote the game before deleting the picture and other things.
Yeah,tell it to people that still ask why there was hype and attentions on them.
For sure we were stupid at this point to think it was Silent Hill (or even a MGS) but BlueBox played a lot on this,I remember that just after a while they said "nono,this is not Silent Hill" while still teasing people.
They milked the hype to get attentions and probably didn't keep up with the big hype around.
@@salvo27 yup he was basically playing up the hype up like kojima did with pt. Now his scam got exposed all he can do now is get free press and cry and lie on stream about a game that won't ever be finished truly.
I understand him being scared of showing his work. I do a lot of 3D character modeling in Zbrush and I was definitely scared to show my work. Especially knowing there is phenomenal artists out there and I've seen their works. Thing is, I had to overcome that and just put my work up on Artstation and just take the dive. I knew if I didn't, no one would know my work and I had to start somewhere. Now, I've had professionals like my work which is something that feels great.
This dude would be way more successful if he just made a line of merch that says “I didn’t expect that.”
He shows every trait of compulsive liar/scam artist. The whole bit about him being “scared” to show any of the game. That’s just straight up pity bait. Gtfoh here with this guy. Just let him fade away into obscurity and failure and stop giving him the attention he wants.
Agreed Fugoo, and to add, in the last interaction with Yong they even started pushing the narrative of "people shouldn't (towards us)..." and "we deserve..." and are moving into gaslighting territory. As Yong noted, they're not Kojima. They haven't "earned" anything. They even are in need of proving themselves of trust which they have already destroyed with their utter lack of credibility before they even had the trust to begin with. I would expect that if content creators and journalists have any further interest and start questioning the credibility of Blue Box more directly in the future, we would start to see things like veiled or direct threats of lawsuits. If Blue Box is in any way legit, they've a long way to go and should put their head(s) down and get to work.
@@uncleshultzy5534 If this "company" has a real world location with a real address and working employees I imagine it's a laundering scheme or some kind of front for illegal activity. No one creates a business, burns money and doesn't sell a product. Doesn't make sense. I don't pretend to know anything about this. But it seems to me their trying to cover themselves if anyone asks (government) about their operation. They have a audience and claim to be bringing a product to market at some point. If and I stress if, its a troll it's kinda be some idiot with too much time and money whom will ultimately be forgotten quite soon. Best thing we can do is ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist, because I assure you they have nothing to sell. Or anything gamers will care about.
The developers would have been more successful if they just released some kind of survival horror game instead of all of these Kojima esque teasers.
@@HCUhardcoreUnited "No one creates a business, burns money and doesn't sell a product."
At least not one who managed to get in bed with a bigger organization like Sony.
If this Abandoned game ever comes out it's most likely gonna be a walking simulator LOL
@@Waltersop while i admit death stranding wasnt really my thing i wouldnt call it a "walking simulator" at least you had enemies to fight dangers to avoid and weapons etc etc.
a walking simulator refers to games where all you do is walk and listen basically needing just one button and a joystick to play.
"Walk around and find these letters to unlock low quality animated cutscenes, with a slightly longer animated cutscene for the end"
@@Waltersop I would say it is a more involved walking simulator. Atleast you have the consequences of dying making it a more engaging walking simulator hehe.
Even if this game manages to actually see the light of day, there's no conceivable way it will live up to the expectations of the gaming community, and that is not our fault, but the fault of a developer who is No Man Skying their way into irredeemable obscurity.
EDIT: At 24:48 It hit me. That's what they are doing. Or trying to do. They are hoping they pique the interest of Sony or another publisher to see them flailing in the wind, and swoop in and save them. That might genuinely be their long game.
I was beginning to wonder how things were going for them the other day. I'm more curious how Sony feels with them being overdue on their deadlines with delivering their game.
They've likely been canceled and defunded. Don't green lights allot of unique stuff, but this is a big stretch. No way did Sony keep them on after missing every deadline and now that it's obvious all of this was a huge lie
Imo if Sony sees that they don't have a game they will take their money back and the project will be abandoned.
@@TheHipisterDeer they dont take the money back, they just take the L. That being said Sony doesn’t actually give that much money in funding.
Sony cares about their first party blockbusters, they don't care about indies.
@@lazyvoid7107 Only one small example compared to Sony's dozens of blockbuster exclusives.
The Colin interview was beyond perplexing. The dude said so much, while just talking in circles the whole time. I don't know how Colin kept his cool.
I think Blue Box should just come out with a statement that says: We're sorry for the cancellation of this game. We're giving up on the project as we've discovered we're not cut out to make games!"
It we'll be the first part of the message except "'we've discovered we're not cut out to make games!" will be replaced by:
"We are now working on a new project."
LOL
I think they steal investors money the way they rip off every trending/ non trending artists work.
Why does it feel like they trying to make us feel guilty for some reason or put blame on us? "you don't understand" "we are not what you think we are" "you put pressure on us". What is that? If you have a product, release it and sell it. If you don't, stop crying and go away till you have it. Where did those people came from to behave in such an irrational way.
I don't get why they're still talking if they don't have ANY content to show, if there really is something they should have said "hey people we announced too early and we'll be going radio silent until we have something to show you", and then only opened their mouths again when they had something to show
Imagine if Hasan had something to show today, i'd honestly have been surprised by them actually not being a scam, but instead he comes out with weird guilt-tripping statements
@@Spike2276 When everyone forgot about them, that was their chance to work on something and then only speak up once they have something to show.
Instead it's just another round of "We don't have anything yet, please feel sorry for us"
Impressions do matter, but this dev sounds like he's really self-conscious about the state of the game if there even is one.
There is no game, I'm willing to put money on it
"I'm scared to show my work 🥺"
WELCOME TO MAKING ART. Wtf? It sounds like he's never made a game before. No shit dude! That's how literally EVERYONE who makes things feels! You just gotta do it.
If you're not confident in your own work then how is anyone else supposed to be.
Look at Hyper Light Breaker! That game got announced like a day or two and the hype was through the roof! You know why? BECAUSE THEY TOLD US WHAT THE GAME WAS. A sequel to a 2D pixel art game that makes a jump to 3D while retaining its art style. They even had screenshots and a professional af animation!
I'm an indie dev myself and there's no way I'd just start announcing any of the titles I was working on until alpha staging since they typically end up being used as shells for other projects. The fact that this "studio" was doing idea-guy announcements _and_ getting free marketing from Sony is nuts, just pissing all that goodwill away. I don't want to fathom how much money this guy has scammed so far since there's so many legit indie devs out there barely eking by who would kill for any attention.
The fact they decided to name their game "Abandoned" after abandoning their past projects...
I completely forgot about this thing. And I would have perfectly fine having forgotten about it. But here we are.
Might as well ignore them. They’re definitely con artists.
Don't worry, we'll all forget about it again soon
Seems like they totally abandoned this game
Teeeheeeee
The real question is if there ever was a game.
I think the guy's record speaks for itself, there's no point discussing anything further once it's established he's a crook.
Also, blame the video game "medias" for giving him an audience. The hype didn"t happen by magic.
Eh, it wasn't the media. It was normal-ass people who have tricked themselves into thinking this had anything to do with Silent Hill. These are the same people who watch videos where some nervous narrator breathes uneasily into a microphone as they zoom in on the spacing of the fridge magnets in The Shining, thinking that Kubrick was speaking to them beyond the grave.
@@0hMyGandhi ahah yeah ikwym.
but the game got some traction at some point and this stupid hype around the mystery was gold for websites looking for the next indie genius, and for clicks.
They didn't start it tho, you're right.
Didn't Sony themselves also promote it as an important PS5 exclusive at some point ?
@Deckard 2019 Sony just talked about it in a blog post as an upcoming Indie game that happens to be exclusive, which life of black Tiger also was.
@@TotalXPvideos oh okay, I didn't know that thx for the info
I feel like Yong is the only one somewhat vouching for them at this point
Dude, i've been following you for a good few years now (since the python selkan MGSV days) and although I don't comment, I absolutely love what you do and I appreciate you man. You do so much for the gaming community, it's just insane! Mad props to you all the way from London UK my guy 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 wishing you a prosperous 2022 bro 🙏🏼❤💛💚
Abandoned by Blue Balls
So... I'm guessing the "prologue" is all they have been able to come up with yet and depending on how well it does they may think about actually doing a full game. Just my suspicions.
It’s so fucking weird and sus that they’re working on a prologue when they haven’t even shown anything substantial for their main title.
I don't think they have come up with even a prologue, hell i'd be surprised if they have even a concept for what this "game" should be
there probably isnt any prologue, lets be real for a second, we would have seen at the very least a screenshot or even some concept art but no, all we got was a 5 second clip of a dude walking and some UE4 assets.
sounds more like those shitty steam early access games where they just do asset flips and sells those ''games'' for 15 bucks.
The problem is that Blue Box doesn’t even seem to understand that they have no idea what they’re doing. Bringing further attention to their development status before they even have realistic expectations of completing the game is an utter waste of time.
I managed to find a copy of The Haunting that Blue Box doesn't want out there, it's... interesting to say the least. It's definitely longer than the Abandoned app on the PS5 store.
Seems like blue box has been reaching out and confessing to alot of RUclipsrs. I think he's trying to.get more traction again. He's already confessed the whole thing was a scam. They are con artist
can you say which youtubers he contacted?
Where did you hear about this?
@@Allustar if you search for other major gaming news channels, BlueBox has been featured on their videos. Hasan even got interviewed and did a podcast basically confessing the game hasn't even started development and that's it's a scam. They are con artist trying to get s quick buck.
@@Allustar probably not true, the only real reason people are upset Is because they made rumours of it being silent hill and it's not true. Yong Yea is saying he's copying kojimas strategy for teasing and interviewing. classic kojima fanboys saying interviewing and hyping the game is copying Kohima 😭
we'll find out when the game comes out.
@@Setogayamari so, we’ll never find out?
The best thing this guy can do is admit the con and fade into obscurity until netflix makes a documentary about him in 1-2 years.
This is great lol, one of the best game trash fires so far to watch~ Can't wait to see how they keep trying to push this scam of a "game"
If they have yet to release a game and only ever trailers I’d call them a bad animation studio more then a game studio
Reaching out to you personally is A good sign that Hopefully they’re being genuine about putting out a product, and hopefully that product is at least mildly impressive even if flawed.
The fault lies with people for reading so hard into this and creating MattPat level theories about this random ass company. It was so obvious what they were doing.
Its because of those people that we found out about bluebox's earlier scams.
I think it’s a mixed bag, what with BlueBox being seemingly allergic to transparency, but you raise a vital point. The Kojima fan base can get pretty rabid, as well as the Silent Hill fan base, and when you put them together, well, you get this.
@@EdenHellCipher Exactly. This "game" and company came into focus when Kojima left Konami, Silent Hill was put out to slaughter, and people - - wiping away tears - - put all their faith in this super obscure project. I can't even imagine how jealous other developers are of all the free press this "studio" gets.
i think its 50/50, i bet he knew what he was doing with those kojima references but i also agree that some people read way too deep in to this
Has...anyone looked into datamining the app? Just asking out of curiosity.
Is that you James?
@@theoneb22000 Literally who? I was simply asking if anyone has datamined the Abandoned app.
@@ethanbryant1997 All the clues are hidden in plain sight. The camera cuts are pin point accurate on the text (hardly the work of an amature) synced with the music. There are AAA games that can't get this correct. The Lyrics of the song played during the teaser and the obvious clothing that matches James Sunderland exactly.
And lose your PS5 forever. Go for it. Sony is gonna stick something very long up your b**t.
Everyone should've realized a long time ago it was a scam. Their entire studio's history was a legacy of a bunch of scams. An entire graphic. It was insane people were forcing themselves to fall for it.
It’s weird, I’d forgotten all about BlueBox until just the other day. I thought I’d see if there were any interesting updates, there was nothing. The next day, this mess happened. Clearly, this is a conspiracy and BlueBox only exists if people are looking at it. Hashtag: Silent Hil1s by Hidetaka Kojima Confirmed.
Seriously though, this has been my favorite train wreck to follow, but I feel bad for everyone involved. They might have ruined their reputation forever with this. Whatever they were/are trying to do, whatever it might be or could have been, it’ll just be overshadowed by this.
If y'all haven't heard the Colin Moriarty interview with Hasan Kahraman, I highly recommend it. It's worth the patreon subscription, but I imagine it's gonna be posted on youtube for free at some point because the interview is truly insane from beginning to end. Nothing the guy says makes any sense.
Pretty sure it’s up for everyone for free
It's free on youtube.
@@optimusprime3484 good
Sounds like what common videogame scammers do, they try to make hype for something but doesn't want to show anything. Then after a couple of years of people investing in the project they just suddenly disappear or change name and start a new project.
It lived up to it's name then...
Of course they were just random indie developers. I don't know how they got to be part of that playstation presents but the people who were doing mental gymnastics trying to say it was Kojima because the main character of Abandoned had a freakin eyepatch were genuinely insane
Here’s a bright Idea 💡 Why don’t they explain what they were working on? because I think it’s the last resort they have.
The lack of self-awareness with this developer's responses has me convinced this is vaporware to the core
Still praying someone will be able to get the rights for P.T. Every time I hear about this situation it just makes me wish we could get P.T.
Still waiting to see that trailer Kojima was editing! Kojima tweeted that he'd finished editing the shortest trailer ever, this was within 24hrs of Blue Box giving us what could be the shortest trailer ever on the Abandoned real time app.
Yeah that still hasn't been explained
I love watching yongyea videos. He tells it like it is. Holds NO punches. 😂
here's an idea for a rebrand: Blue Balls Studio - "All tease but no release"
This feels like they are trying to come across as the "underdogs" being over shadowed by big bad big industry and they have to keep barking (teasing/marketing) so that they dont become forgotten.
If you are in doubt, 13:30-14.28 is really all you need.
Indie studio with a history of cancelled projects and this new project is getting missed deadlines upon missed deadlines tells me that they will be milking everything they can. So I don't hold out ANY hope of this now "Prologue" version to be any good.
They claimed a FULL release last year (or at least didn't mention anything about a paid pre-release) and only (potentially) releasing a cut down paid demo does not bode well. I don't have a PS5 but should they release this, or another game, on a platform I own, I would avoid it like the plague.
oh my god you finally added a recap chapter!!! thank you!!!
Yong: Abandoned might be...
Me: He's gonna say it
Yong: canceled.
Me: Come on! It was right there!
My exact reaction!
Love your videos, been watching for maybe a year now and love your opinions and topics
Ya know what this is remindin' me of? Friggin' Peter Molyneux. Just without the prior pedigree of decent titles BEFORE the overselling games that were, at the end of the day, just okay.
Yong: "This is something I'm not gonna go over, I've made plenty of videos about this stuff."
Also Yong: *proceeds to spend 1/4 of the video talking about it anyway

~Mori Calliopie - Off With Their Heads
I believe Blue Box needs to take this to heart, especially with their marketing. It's probably their best option.
He DESPERATELY wants to be Kojima. But then you remember, 5:54, they've been doing this for 6+ YEARS at this point... Ever since going solo/indie.
Being skeptical of them at this point is MORE than understandable.
The worst part is I believe that they CAN make high quality games. I remember their old logo, a literal blue box with an open top, being on one of my favorite games... But it's entirely possible my memory is wrong on that.
He could've created two different vids for this but instead took down the old one and added on the extra clips.
Props to you for that.
The fact that he spends more time on the internet reading comments than creating his game says a lot.
Nice, I was just searching for a conclusion to this story recently.
They gotta be a scam. Because of their history of not producing any “real” games and now (maybe) this one like the many others. They can easily make a game in Roblox and have it produced. Many people are doing that now. Something’s fishy. Lol
It is a scam.
@@J._K._ I think so too. 🤷🏾♂️
U told us the game was going to come out almost a year but ur company has a history of not even making a game or canceling games
The dev is clearly too shady to trust. Everybody should do like the game says. "Abandon" any hype you have and accept the dev is incompetent and should "Abandon" development like he did with every project before it.
This would have been a great video to promote that audiobook in audible that Yong narrates that talks about game development
Yong is of course being as nice to them as possible, but I’d like to point something out:
If they’re so afraid of putting their work out in front of the audience, why are they making the game in the first place?
Because he's afraid to get backlash when he shows the barebones progress they made instead of just releasing it and hoping that some suckers buy it to make a quick buck.
"Mom, can I get Silent Hill?"
"No, we have Silent Hill at home."
At home: Blue box studios presents: Silence Hell
Anyone want to bet that the devs tease the prologue, slap a "part 1" on it at the last minute, try to charge $40+ for about 2 hours of terribly buggy gameplay and call it a win?
Most likely, I wouldn't put it pass them... That is if they even release a game at all.
They said it will cost under 14 dollars 100%
@@hmamsb1150 They did? Wow! What kind of crack are they they smoking at Blue Box Games Studios?! I can't Trust anything they say anymore.
A game called "Abandoned" being in fact giving people out there the feeling of it being actually "abandoned" is the kind of 4D chess someone like Kojima likes to play, this just convinces me more that there is more to this story than we know.
It's too obvious the guy is expecting some naive guy/company to invest into the "promise" of the game to get more and more funding and at the end never release the game, just like Star Citizen.
If you haven't seen Colin's interview then I highly recommend it, so much more info on the situation. Its out on RUclips on his Last Stand channel.
I have a feeling that this "prologue" is their "main" game ,its going to be short and bad like some horror games you find with 1$ (no offence to the indie/new devs)
Was watching your old video of the Abandoned / Blue Box Hideo Kojima conspiracy stuff, had to pause that one for this
You know it's all trolling, right? It's titled "Abandoned" - I'll give you three guesses what the punchline to this "joke" is supposed to be.
You can't cancel that which has already been... 'Abandoned'.
This Hasan is really depressing me how naïve and clueless he is.
The dude should stop being mere news fodder to random youtube rehashers stop nurturing headlines on social media.
He should fade into the background and work on the game. Then go to early access directly for people to see. He doesn't need extra exposition. In fact he has and uphill battle for this game and his name to not be dismissed forever as the sad joke of 2021-2022.
He isn't clueless,and he wont work in a game,because hr had multiple other projects and all never saw the light of day.
@@lordanonimmo7699 He's clueless about the fact that he think reaching out now and playing the genuine mea culpa card is gonna save him from further backlash. Nothing is stopping this train coming to him. Unless there's an actual something that people can actually experience, dismiss then move on in some undetermined time. Or he fades away , never to be speaken about.
I wonder why he keeps trying, though. Is he trying to get fellow dickheads to donate to him by tricking the media into making hay of his act and thus spreading word of his existence?
media axiom: show, don't tell
blue box: tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell ...
Looks like the studio making Abandoned... Abandoned all of their games...
ba dum tss
As an experienced Teaser who has given many a woman Blue Box, I have to say that you absolutely must know when to give the full release or they will start to feel Abandoned.
I honestly forgot this game existed till this popped up in my feed. Brilliant work Blue Box.
🤔 My impression of this game, I’m guessing it’ll be like Heavy Rain, a cinematic style interactive game but with a survival element, that’s all it seems to be that they’re hyping up. Or it could be like a Tell Tale game, has an interactive story with branching paths mixed with survival.
It could be fun, it would be nice if they just did a simple presentation showing off the main character, what the game will be, maybe some artwork of what’s being worked on, just something to give gamers….well…anything. The fact that even a patch for an app is still not coming after all this time is definitely suspect, there’s just too many suspicious elements surrounding this studio. I personally think it’s vaporware, or their ambitions are so lofty and unattainable that the game will simply never see the light of day and the app will never be patched.
I remember them saying that their RUclips channel was hacked & was removed too. Perhaps they removed it themselves.... I don't know what to think/believe anymore 😕
@YongYear PT wasn't free. Kojima used a lot of funding from the game he was currently working on Metal Gear Solid V to make the demo. it was more or less Konami didn't know about it until it was thrown up. if i'm not mistaken this is one of the many reasons why he left/let go.
Think he means on the consumers part. PT was a free Playable Teaser available to everyone.
The fact they seemed to use a blurred yet visible image of Big Boss in Metal Gear 5 as part of their marketing is nuts and I'm surprised Konami haven't sued them (unless they are part of Blue Box).
It seems they contacted lots of youtubers, as Dreamcast Guy got the same bullshit statement
I remember this game let’s see what happens next time
ACTUAL game devs knew this from the beginning. All the red flags were evident.
