10 Impactful Moments That Made Gamers Cry (With Joy)

1. Realising The P.T. Demo Was A Silent Hill Reboot

So you€™ve downloaded P.T, the new mysterious €œplayable teaser€ from Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro, and you€™re naturally terrified. Full of some of the biggest scares the horror genre has ever seen, P.T€™s mysterious hallway forced players to communicate with each other over forums to make it through the title€™s obtuse puzzles. An enigma to actually complete, the teaser often threw up roadblocks in the players path, meaning that rarely anyone would actually make it to the end without the help of sheer luck. However, one soul eventually solved the game€™s final, horrifying puzzle - and was treated to one of the most amazing video game reveals of all time. Because it turned out that, instead of being a €œplayable teaser€ for a new franchise, the downloadable release was actually an experimental game intended to market a new Silent Hill, to be created by both Kojima, cult movie extraordinaire Guillermo Del Toro and Konami themselves. No one saw this coming, and it marks one of the most subtly brilliant ways to debut a game in quite some time. Which impactful moments really got to you, either through a game or a particular reveal?
