Hideo Kojima Reveals How He's Preparing to Make "The Scariest Horror Game"

He can get away by making his real silent Hills vision more than a spiritual successor or something different. Why change a team that wins and risk a potential failure, that can be massive.
His vision for silent hills is still confined within the expectations and limitation of the silent hill franchise. Foggy mid-western american town, monsters and environments that reflect the psyche of the protagonist or someone else, old gods/demon cult shenanigans etc. Whereas something wholly unique can be whatever the creativity allows. No restrictions and guidelines to follow. I'd rather see the latter than the former. The Kojipro team clearly demonstrated that they are flexible with Death Stranding. In the end, it's Kojima's name that will sell the game so no need to be conservative.

I'm not a Silent Hill hater either. I played the first three games quite recently and loved all three. Even so, I would rather Kojipro keep attempting to break new grounds and taking risks rather than looking backwards.

Is the madlad finally doing what we have been suggesting all along???

Always knew Kojima's unique style would fit perfectly in horror as seen by P.T.
Was hoping...nay... praying that Death Stranding be horror game but that turned out to be a different kind of surprise.

God speed Kojima show me what you got

You know - I was hoping for maybe a Snatcher spiritual successor next, but I've been vibing on horror game aesthetic so much lately between RE2 Remake and FAITH that I'm down with this.

I play everything Kojima makes and Death Stranding is my Game of the Year. Needless I'm down, even though I'm not ready lol.

Whatever it is, I hope it is Xbox exclusive. As a PlayStation centric gamer I can’t stand to have to pretend to care about his games anymore.

Now that Kojima Productions is an established studio, I wonder if they would still seek Sony’s help for their next project. With the PC release of Death Stranding and 505 Games publishing it, I think whatever is next for Kojima will be multiplatform.

Hopefully now that they got their footing they can branch out. Maybe do mobile game development or try stadia or something

To humor your idea, Kojima is obviously not focused on mobile game development not to mention he is all about the AAA titles.
Good thing Death Stranding sold well and his fans will always look forward to his future projects.

Well they can just call it a spiritual successor to SH for the extra fuck you to Konami. Japan Studio and Toyama can be a support studio like with Bloodborne

I'm not much of a Kojima fan but I'm IN for a Kojima horror game. Dude puts passion into what he does and even though it has never really clicked with me, I've admired that about him. Horror is my jam though so I say bring in on.

I would assume they would still need a big publisher to work with. The question is the engine. If they work with some other publisher and not Sony, would they need to work with different engine than Decima?

No, please, not like that.

Yes. If they work with another publisher, they can't use Decima.
