13 Biggest WTF Video Game Moments Since 2010
11. P.T. Makes Gaming Truly Terrifying Again
Not until that fateful August day back in 2014 when P.T. spontaneously arrived on PlayStation 4 did I come to the - not quite profound, but interesting, nonetheless - realization that I had, up until this point, never found a video game scary in my life, at least not to the extent in which P.T. managed (and still does).
Sure, Outlast, Amnesia and the classic Resident Evils all have their moments, but this? The anxiety crept in immediately, doing all it could to make me relinquish the controller and walk (read: run) far, far away, never to return and make a sheepish peek around that narrow corner for the umpteenth time.
In hindsight, I only wish I'd recorded my facial reactions to P.T.'s more gruesome moments if only to see it crumpled in fear and muttering expletives in tandem with the shrieking, bloody fetus I'd just found living in a bathroom sink.
It's good to be scared once in a while, though, which is why it still pains me to this day that we'll never see P.T.'s limitless potential realized as a full-fledged game. Thanks for that, Konami.
