Silent Hills’ P.T. Returns As A Free Fan Remake, And You Can Play It In VR

The entire playable teaser for Konami’s Silent Hills has been remade in Unreal Engine for PC. Called Unreal PT, the remake comes with VR support, allowing you to further immerse yourself in the teaser’s terrors.

Created by a fan of the original P.T., who goes by RadiusGordello on itch.io, Unreal PT has been in development since April 2018. The game supports mouse and keyboard, as well as PS4, Xbox One, and VR motion controllers. Unreal PT is nearly identical to the original teaser, with the biggest change made to the ending. Beating the game and reaching the ending is less random, allowing you to complete the experience without relying on chance.

Silent Hills first appeared as a sequel to the Silent Hill franchise, created as a joint effort between Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro. It also starred The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus. Its teaser opted out of the series’ traditional third-person, survival horror mechanics for a first-person, puzzle game experience. Although the teaser was met with excitement from the gaming community, Silent Hills was cancelled, and P.T. was removed from the PlayStation Store.

In the wake of Silent Hills’ cancellation, numerous teams and solo developers have tried to remake the game or create something similar. However, most have followed in the legacy of the teaser that came before them and no longer exist. Some, like Allison Road, were cancelled by their own creators. Others, like a fan remake that was finished last year, were shut down by Konami. A few, such as Visage, have managed to make it to Early Access though. Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus would also all reconvene for the creation of Death Stranding, an upcoming PS4 exclusive with a story that becomes more convoluted with every new trailer.

If you want to play Unreal PT, you’ll need to download the game to your PC. The minimum system requirements are outlined below.

Unreal PT Minimum PC Spec Requirements

  • CPU: i3-7100U 7th Generation with Intel HD 620
  • GPU: Integrated
  • RAM: 8GB DDR4

The 50 Best TV Opening Credits (2008-2018)

The opening credits for TV shows have become more elaborate over the past ten years. HBO’s Game of Thrones and AMC’s The Walking Dead, among others, are raising the creative bar with impactful music and vivid imagery. The quest for the coveted Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design has never been more intense. And while the plot and character development remain paramount when it comes to developing a new comedy or drama series, a memorable opening credits sequence can also make a big first impression.

Now that it’s 2019, we wanted to look back on our favorite TV opening credits from 2008-2018. Some of our most beloved shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mad Men, and The Sopranos did not make the cut since they premiered before 2008. For a look at which shows made IGN’s list, check out the video below:

Diablo 3 Anniversary Event Returns, Marking First Time On Nintendo Switch

Diablo 3 has once again kicked off its limited-time event celebrating the anniversary of the original Diablo. The Darkening of Tristram event is running through the end of the month, and offers some exclusive rewards for plumbing the depths of its dungeons and taking down some tough bosses.

The event has you hunting down cultists until you find yourself in a familiar cathedral. The twist is that the event recreates the look and feel of old Diablo, with retro-style graphics and UI, classic bosses, and even limitations to your movement.

Completing challenges and taking down each of the four bosses will grant you banner elements, pets, transmog weapons, and special portraits. This is the first time the event is available to Switch owners, so if you picked it up on that platform you can earn yourself the rewards on the go.

This is the same event as in previous years, even down to including one pesky bug. Fans on the official blog and subreddit have complained that the Wirt’s Leg bug has been left intact. That transmog weapon is supposed to appear as a Legendary, but the bug has left it appearing as a less valuable blue item.

Most recently, Blizzard took the stage at its annual BlizzCon event to announce Diablo Immortal, a mobile-only addition to the franchise. This led to no small degree of fan backlash, which may have even impacted Activision Blizzard’s stock price. Our hands-on impressions of Diablo Immortal were fairly positive, while acknowledging a lot we don’t know yet about it.

“Immortal has translated the core framework and mechanics down to mobile devices in an impressive way,” wrote Alessandro Fillari. “While it certainly isn’t Diablo 4, it’s also clear that it’s not trying to be. I don’t see it as a true replacement for Diablo 3–the recent Switch version will keep me from doing that for sometime–but I can see myself playing this game during my usual downtime. I was surprisingly pleased with how Immortal played, and it’ll be interesting to see how the game will pan out once it launches in 2019.”

PUBG is a battle royale game whose matches involve 100 players dropping onto a map, searching for weapons and armor, and battling it out in a shrinking play area until only one player or team is left alive. The game launched in early access on PC in March 2017 before getting a full release in December of that year. It has since come to Xbox One and mobile, with its PS4 version launching just last month on December 7.

In GameSpot’s PUBG review, Michael Higham wrote, “Each phase of a match presents a different type of tension that is equal parts thrilling and terrifying, driven by the insatiable desire to be the last person (or squad) standing. Whether you play solo or in a group, successfully executing adaptive tactics to win intense, high-stakes firefights makes for an incredibly rewarding experience.”

If you’d like to save $20 on PUBG and 12 months’ worth of PS Plus, make sure you buy the bundle before the deal goes away on January 13.

Grab One Of 2017’s Best Games For Free Next Week

Epic Games is giving away a free PC game every two weeks this year via its new Store, and the next of those free titles has now been revealed. What Remains of Edith Finch, one of 2017’s best games, will be available free of charge from January 10 until January 25.

All you need to do is create an Epic account on its Store and claim the game within those dates. You’ll then be able to play the game for free whenever you like, even after January 25. Currently, the free game on offer is Super Meat Boy, which is free until What Remains of Edith Finch takes over on January 10.

Edith Finch is a relatively short adventure game about a girl whose family have all suddenly died under mysterious circumstances. Playing from Edith’s perspective, you explore the family home to discover more about the events leading to each person’s death.

Our reviewer, Justin Clark, enjoyed the narrative-driven game immensely, awarding it a 9/10. “It’s not often that a game’s plot slips past the bitterness of grief to finally get to the acceptance, but that’s the triumph in What Remains of Edith Finch,” he wrote of the PS4 version in our What Remains of Edith Finch review. “Ultimately, if the game has any resemblance of a moral, it’s that the bravest, most beautiful thing every one of us does is choose to keep going, despite knowing what’s coming.”
