Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding, said that he would like to make a revolutionary horror game and that he already has ideas about the project that may tend to look like Hitchcock or Spielberg creations.
After receiving the BAFTA Fellowship award, Hideo Kojima was interviewed by the academy and agreed to talk about his career. The former producer of Konami talked about P.T, a playable teaser version of Silent Hills, the game he worked on. Kojima confirmed that his new ideas were totally different.
“P.T. was a mysterious game, created by a mysterious studio, with no previous announcement or information, so it used forbidden techniques to increase fear,” Kojima said. “It was a one-off thing, so we cannot reuse that method again.”
And after a long talk about his career, 50% of which is in the saga of metallic machines, the Japanese creator has arrived at the point where he has impressive ideas for a new revolutionary horror game, not just a simple horror but a terror that leaves players hesitant to pee at some point during the night.
“I’m easily frightened myself, so I have confidence that I could create something more terrifying than perhaps others could. I get frightened of things like darkness and imagine shadows of ghosts in the dark. Just like Hitchcock or Spielberg did.”
It is worth noting that the designer previously suggested that his next game could be a terrifying title, adding to rumors that it was a matter of remastering Silent Hills on PS4, which Konami described as “untrue”.
Due to the lockdown caused by the emerging epidemic of coronavirus, the BAFTA game award 2020 ceremony will be streamed online this evening. Konami will receive the BAFTA Fellowship for contribution to the games industry.
