Hideo Kojimahas taken to social media with comments about his “most experimental game,” and in the process has revealed that a whole lot of his fans don’t actually know his back catalog very well.
“It seems I have been acknowledged by creating games that go against the current of the times, such as ‘hide-and-seek’ games where you sneak into a building without being detected by the enemy, or ‘delivery games’ where you enjoy moving around in an open world,” Kojima said onTwitter, obviously referring to Metal Gear and Death Stranding. His next reference, however, was not quite as obvious for many commenters.
“For me, the most experimental game was ‘defeating vampires outside your house’ using actual sunlight around you. It was met with fierce opposition from the staff and even within the company,” Kojima said. “In that sense, ‘OD’ is just as different.”
It seems a lot of people want Kojima to make that vampire game. “The vampire game idea sounds solid though,“one commenter said. “The answer is yes. We need the vampire game,“another responded. “A Kojima Vampire game sounds kinda interesting,“yet another noted. “Isn’t that Alan Wake?“someone asked. “Make the vampire game Kojima-san I promise you we will buy it,“another fan begged.
Hideo Kojima’s ODbeing “just as different” as Boktai is particularly interesting. I can’t imagine we’ll be hooking up sunlight sensors to our consoles anytime soon, but it looks like that experimental spirit is never quite going away.
Recently,Hideo Kojima said it’s going to be a “tough year” with Death Stranding 2, OD, and moreon the go.
