has someone noticed that there is a guy right at the end of the film? at 1:37

maybe it's the same guy you discussed before? he must be there for a reason.

I thought i saw something when the camera wizzes off her. Could just be the camera man moving the camera fast and catching a stage-hand or other camera man by mistake.

I must discard my theory about conection between events and celestial bodies.

Unfortunatly no corelation there. I checked everything visible at the times given on the web page.

All I can see there is:

If Loki vanishes and reapears in citys and Seattle is last on the list should we find the mising city or location?

May just me being picky, what do you think?

Well.... I think it might be something - it happens right as she says 'timeless' and it appears to fade in, then out very quickly, not like an encoding error at all.

Tried looking at hours?

Seattle = Microsoft home. Where do you suggest the missing city's are?

so the times above are all PST right?

so to get them in local time you have to add on however many hours. so london is 8 hours ahead of PST so it is at 7pm local time in london right?

I would have thought that they were native times... but I might be wrong...

why isn't anyone making more of an issue of the 9 digits across the paintings in the video? ignoring it just cos it was the most prominent thing?

I saw that, didn't think much of it since a lot of them are 0, but I guess it might be important.

"0C" was on one of the paintings, it is 12 in hexadecimal

Yes, I looked for anything with repeatng pattern on all cites. ISS, Moon, Sun, Sunsets & Sunrises, Venus and other things that can be seen with naked eye, but nothing came up.

I think that some of the codes will reveal GPS locations or something like that and that probably we will have one extra location. This is of course my logic, may not be true, but I will keep an eye for it.

I think that frames in the movie tell the basic plot of things to happen.

#1. Loki is the girl in the movie

#2. She's a magician

#3. She will perfom a vanishing act on that spot in front of the fountain

#4. She will reapear on new location in LA 5 days leter

#5. She will then again do the same thing until the last vanishing act in Seattle

#6. Task is difficult or immposible when you have two locations at the same time like Miami and Austin so maybe one of those is a decoy, or she has a twin sister.

What is not clear yet and I will ask someone to help. Is that family tree frame. Can someone scan that page and post it. Please! :)

1:02 pm??? anyone else notice how weird that is :s?

It isn't 1:02 pm anymore. They changed it to 3:00 pm. I don't know if this was something they changed or if the original poster read it wrong.

The fact that all the misspelled words are now spelled correctly still intrigues me. Call me crazy, but MS has invested enough time and effort into a project like this to have caught four glaring spelling mistakes on one page... I still think NIAC is a clue.

why isn't anyone making more of an issue of the 9 digits across the paintings in the video? ignoring it just cos it was the most prominent thing?

I saw it too, but I think it looks like ooDC. ooDC is a program where you can dowload stuff, so I think that someone maybe has put a clue there. The question is just where, there's a lot of different hubs there.

yeah there is a man at the end of the video, its when the camera spins round right at the very end. i mean i can imagine the other guy standing there is just a mistake but why would they not cut that bit of video from the end of it if it isnt supposed to be there. :s

i dont know, everytime i watch that video it makes me laugh because it reminds me of porn i mean the music in the background is straight out of a porn film and the poor acting and general cameraship is similar to that of a porn film lol :)

I have thaught about two things:

At first I found out that NIAC might stand for "Normalized Image of the Absolute Conic". So I searched for that.

Google found this page: http://www.actapress.com/PaperInfo.aspx?PaperID=27885

This might or might not be in the game. But it talks about vanishing point.

I also realized that one of the clocks in the movie is broken. I think the lady puts a screwdriver in the box so she can fix it. this might mean that one of the timers is counting wrong and we have to find out why so.

I hope this will help solving the riddle.

this is the family tree, maybe there is a difference between this page and original in the book. If someone has the book, scan of this page would help.

Don't have the book, but this site seems to have a text version of the family tree: http://members.pcug.org.au/~ronwells/580-9.htm

You lost me there :s where did you get NIAC from?

I would take a look, but I can't access that journal for free :( http://www.csis.hku.hk/~kykwong/publicatio...zhang_sip06.pdf has the same article, but it's down right now and google doesn't have it cached

Edit: my bad... google does have it cached, just no images

Edit 2: if anyone wants to see a cached version: http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:8REzeM...t=clnk&cd=1

Zenit, would you be able to upload the pdf? I'm guessing it's alright because the authors have it available for public access

Edited by malcolmst

I am trying to read what is written on the scrapbook. One of the things I found is "Space Time" (although of course Im not quite sure)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

Even Euler is mentioned in the Wiki article:

"A compact manifold can be turned into a spacetime if, and only if, its Euler characteristic is 0."

Anyone noticed that the www.vanishingpoint.com page now has a link to wineflower.com, that was not on the page when this game started, it was not a link I mean, does not seam to be linked but its an avenue no one would seem to have looked at fully, is there device linked to micosofts lifedrive maybe and does it link to Vista in some way ?

Congrats all who have a Laptop nice Christmas gift eh!

Both those domains are registered by Network Solutions, vanishingpointgame.com and myvanishingpoint.com are Go Daddy. I don't really think vanishingpoint.com is related in any way. myvanishingpoint.com might be though :p

Yeah :D that would be great to get a free laptop randomly in the mail... I should start up a blog.....

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
