An ominous timer has appeared on the Japan Playstation website. The timer is counting down the hours to something that is little less than 60 hours away. Tick tock, tick tock. What could it be counting down to? The backdrop of the timer shows what seems to be a pool of blood. Either that or cranberry juice. If you have your speakers on you'll also hear some creepy audio, like rain, thunder, muffled whispers, and distant screams. I think it's fair to say that it's not cranberry juice. If you listen closely you can also hear that the voices are talking in English (AndyD421 has even provided a partial transcript in the comments below), which could mean that this "something" that's happening in 60 hours will happen internationally. Also superimposed on the pool of blood is the Japanese character "SA." Will Sadako suddenly leap out from our screens? Probably not. Well, whatever the timer is counting down to, we'll know in less than 60 hours. |

that's one freaky timer. freaky freaky freaky. *shudder*
the first thing that came into my head tho is Heavy Rain. oh please please please let it be something pertaining to Heavy Rain. we've hardly heard anything about it! i'm actually willing (and oh so HOPING) to bet that it's Heavy Rain... maybe news about the game or some such.
i mean... there's rain sounding in the background. then there's blood. and it looks oh so thriller-y and suspense-y... and if you listen to the voices, they actually sound like they're cursing.
all of these details in the counter/timer page kinda fit with the "casting" trailer they put out and the poster they published (the one that had "The Origami Killer" as a subtitle to Heavy Rain)... man, i'm sooo dying to hear anything about that game that i'm practically trying to put so much meaning into this. hahahaha!
the only thing that's telling me that this is NOT Heavy Rain is that it's in the PS Japan website. and the game is being developed by Quantic Dream... a Europe-based studio (France, to be specific).... so...
*shrug*
it's anyone's guess, really. but those are my two cents... heavy rain heavy rain heavy raaaiiiiiin.... *crosses fingers*

Nah, just a guess. I have no idea.
It's most likely some horror game being released in Japan.

That's a clever way to link people to your GPT site...
But, www.swatcash.com/admin is so much better. They actually pay really high amounts, and I've even gotten me a PSP! Sorry for being off topic.
Anyhow, I think that this might be that resident evil PSP game that we've all been waiting for!

all the more now it sounds like Heavy Rain... especially considering the Origami Killer subtitle... maaaan... wish we could just fastforward to when the counter hits zero...
pretty good ears you got. the dialogue you have up there's pretty solid. ;-) and hahaha! turns out i'm not the only one who thinks they're actually cursing in the voice overs. and yeah, the female voice is kinda hard to pick up... is she speaking japanese? hard to tell... maybe... maybe not...

i can hear about the same as AndyD421, it sounds like the girl says "did you see that just now, it's what we've been looking for, what do you think they are doing?" Anyway, i'm not that good with audio, but if you recorded the video, couldn't someone use a program such as Cubase and mute the rain and only leave audio?

It's Siren 3. That huge Hiragana is 'sa', which is the first letter of Japanese writing of the word 'Siren'.
I don't know whether the horror game series are brought overseas or not, but Siren & Siren 2 are fairly popular here in Japan.

I really like how they tried to make it creepy and mysterious, but I'm wondering if this will also be done on the american site, we would all find it funny I suppose. :)
It would have been cool if it was done internationally, with the same timer at the same time.
