PS4 CFW and Hacks

Proceeding the Unreal PT: Windows PC VR Remake and his Ratchet & Clank PS4 Debug Menu findings, video game hacker and modder extraordinaire @manfightdragon (aka Lance McDonald on YouTube) recently shared some eerie discoveries from his P.T. Playable Teaser Silent Hills demo camera PS4 hacks on Twitter with a Patreon support page also available.

Previously we've seen a PS4 Testkit Running PT, Playable Teaser PS4 Model Data / Textures, P.T. PlayStation 4 Resources and a P.T. PS4 Retail Demo of P.T. released by Konami in August 2014, consequently removed from PlayStation Store in late April 2015 due to issues between Hideo Kojima and Konami.

Although the P.T. demo can no longer be downloaded from PSN nor your PS4 Library, those who already installed it on their PlayStation 4 console and haven't removed it can still play the demo.

Below are several Tweets featuring some creepy P.T. R3 button zoomed-in hacked camera clips utilizing his customized camera axis injections revealing that Lisa is always right behind you... until he prepares a full video on his YouTube Channel:
