This Map was so Scary They Had to Remove it From Phasmophobia

Welcome back to the ORIGINAL Phasmophobia! In this video we go back in time to play on the old Asylum map which has been removed from the game. I love this map, it's so immersive and the long empty hallways are terrifying. What do you think? ENJOY!

[@StephenW86]

Those old big maps like High School, Prison and Asylum for me are quintessential Phasmophobia. They capture that eerie feeling of entering an old abandoned building with a creepy backstory. They feel like how a real ghost exploration would be. Especially because it is so big on a team you get easily separated. And that feeling of getting lost and disorientation in those maps too. It also feels like an actual chase too on those maps running down a big hallway, dodging into a room to hide etc. It also feels like a hard detective game, because it takes time to track down the ghost and bring equipment.

[@IchbinX]

I think when the game goes Gold, they need to make an Anniversary Event, where you play in the old Lobby, and the old Asylum is available for a few days.

[@Badoyz]

I really do miss this old Asylum map. I didn't see any reason to really remove it to begin with. I hope they do bring it back, but would love to see more maps like an abandoned mall, amusement park, or even like a haunted ship. More maps tho would start to make the map picture board feel cluttered.

So instead a Van... We use a boat now huh?

[@TWGuardian]

2:00 Fun fact on the subject of green night vision versus black/white night vision: one of the reasons why green might look better is because the human eye is particularly sensitive to green light, and thus we can see more shades of green than of any other color. As a consequence, many algorithms that convert from color to grayscale actually are biased. For example, red often contributes around 30%, green contributes around 58% and blue contributes around 12% to the final pixel color. Because we see green most, it is the green color channel that most contributes to the overall perceived brightness of a color, hence the bias.

[@virusbruh]

We dont care

[@TWGuardian]

@@virusbruh Then why are you here, leaving a wholly unnecessary and self-embarrassingly rude comment?

[@pikkuliskoart]

I found this interesting. Could it be that we perceive green the best because it would be an advantage in hunting/foraging to spot subtle differences in nature?

[@TWGuardian]

@@pikkuliskoart possibly. The cause for the bias is that the wavelength of green light (around 555 nanometers aka 555 billionths of a meter) triggers two of the three different color receptors in the retina. The three color receptors in the retinal tissue respond most to 419, 531 and 559 nanometers. The second one therefore has a peak in lime green (and is also the most sensitive of them all), and the last has a peak in yellow, with still decent absorption for green, tapering off to nothing at around sea green. This last cone is the 'red cone' which is the second most sensitive. The rods in the eye have max absorption at 496 nanometers, putting it into slightly blueish green. It's a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg situation as to which came first: is this bias just a consequence of the pigments in the retina, or did natural selection favor these specific pigments because of this bias? The latter option - meaning that this bias is there at least in part because it was favorable to survival - is likely. This is because, of course, most plant life is green. This may not always have been the case, it is suspected that vegetation in the past may have appeared purple, because of a pigment called retinal. Retinal is simpler, but less efficient. Chlorophyll is basically a more advanced version of retinal, absorbing all but green shades of light, which gets reflected instead, causing the plants to appear green. This is favorable because it absorbs energy rich blue light (whereas retinal reflects deep red and deep blue giving it a purple-ish appearance), and chlorophyll is more efficient at releasing energy from the light. As a consequence, vegetation turned various shades of green, and being able to tell the difference was therefore advantageous. Knowing what plant is what, means better avoiding poisonous plants. In particular humans evolved from several primate ancestral species: arboreal mammals feeding on fruits and leaves, both of which are typically shades of green or yellow. Ripe fruit, oddly, tends to avoid shades of green, and instead turns to shades of yellow, red, or blue, making them clear outliers for an eye that mostly spots shades of green, because an absence of input is also peculiar. Similarly, plants do not want their leaves to be eaten, because it hinders photosynthesis and their ability to store nutrients outside of the colder months. Fruits, though? By all means, eat them, because the result is that the animals eating the fruit are spreading the seeds of the host plant, helping it reproduce. So there could be a bit of co-evolution at play there, too. Another advantage of being sensitive to green light is that you can more easily detect green objects in the dark, and for forest dwelling mammals, that's rather advantageous. The plants - which are not a threat to them - would be easy to see, whereas potential predators would appear as moving, dark blobs against the backdrop. Being able to spot leaves moving, also carries with it important clues. So it was probably advantageous from an evolutionary perspective. Even other animals with limited color perception, such as horses, cats and dogs, have a bias toward green light. That cannot be a coincidence.

[@pikkuliskoart]

@@TWGuardianThank you for the detailed response! It's fascinating.

[@DevinSadler-u8y]

They should add a cave map. Exploring a haunted cave called Putty Nutty where a cave explorer has died and seeks vengeance. Obviously this is a little specific. Having some maps have some lore behind it would make the exploration so much more fun. Especially if they flesh out the spirit box to have important information thus making it a more essential piece of the game.

[@gingeralef1]

The infamous Nutty Putty cave incident, but it seems like a pretty good idea. Phasmophobia has so much potential, it’s crazy. They should create a sort of mario maker, where the community could build maps. Unlimited content!

[@Sebastian_Domaradzki]

the saddest moment of phasmo for me was removing door hiding, it used to be so fun to see my friends struggle and die cause they didnt know how to do it properly

[@sharkpacasaur]

I miss playing this map in multiplayer, especially if we ended up getting a banshee. The group I used to run with would play a spinoff of "Red Rover" during a hunt. We'd stand in a line to see which person the banshee was after. If the person our resident-banshee was after managed to escape, we'd then chase after our friendo alongside WITH the ghost. It was glorious! Bonus points if it was the faceless kiddo ghost--we'd crouch-chase instead. 😂

[@FarremShamist]

Once during a streamed game, one of the players had to go afk, and we were there for around 20 minutes trying to find the ghost and it didn't hunt once We realized it was a banshee and we all waited outside for them to get back. It hunted INSTANTLY when they stepped through the door.

[@goldenmajora3]

​@FarremShamist damn, sad that can't happen now. Nowadays when the banshee's target leaves the building it'll just swap to a new target

These corridors from the old asylum map reminds me of something industrial. It would be great to see maps like an abandond nuclear plant or a base with a disarmed warhead still in a silo or a block of flats with working elevators or a hospital with lots of windows where one wall of a corridor is basically a window through which moonlight can pass inside the building creating a dense atmosphere.

Aww, the nostalghia wave hits hard ✨ Despite playing modest ~200h, Asylum was probably the most played map, basically lived in its walls until they introduced randomized open door spawn. Adore the loud ambient humm in it too, it's like you are stepping into completely different world, not like any other maps. And how terrifying were annoying hallway ghosts with the players old walking speed? Will never forget that disaster and desperation to get to the corner of the hallway as quick as possible XD Thank you for bringing back good memories!

Finding the room on the old asylum was the easiest. Turn up volume all the way, stand with a candle in the lobby, and sing a Christmas carol, or any song by the band America. The ghost will take a step or open their door and you just walk over to it. Takes like 2 minutes.

Without telling anyone, I started to push pins into it and the first click was 1 pin and was a small event. The second click was every pin at once and a Hunt started. Luckily the Ghost was on the far left side of the building and my team were all sitting in the Truck still talking about who is bringing what, iirc. I, the ever fearless and absurdly foolhardy Team mate yelled out to the Ghost and tried taunting it, but nothing ever came of it.

i LOVE these original phasmo videos, i know the new game is spectacular as is, but the original phasmo has its own quirks and nostalgic things that i cant get enough of, i know im just one person but id absolutely love more of these original phasmo videos

Not only I played only on old patch, but I also played this game ONLY in VR. It is kind of sad that this map has actually been removed, because no other place was as scary as old Asylum.

I highly doubt that the devs 'removed' the old Asylum. Because Phasmophobia was created with the Unity Engine, you have the ability to remove certain maps from the final build of the game. It's most likely still in the files, but just isn't used. This is useful for modders because with certain apps, you can access any map with the click of a button.
