Hideo Kojima has spoken openly for the first time about the controversial indie title Abandoned and the theory that he is involved in some way.

Speaking on his Spotify podcast, Brain Structure, as part of a new episode featuring Geoff Keighley during which the pair talked about gaming rumours, the Death Stranding director addressed the speculation that he was involved with Abandoned, a horror game from developer Blue Box Studios.

"Users just kept sending me pictures of this 'Hasan'," Kojima said told Keighley. "They still send me collages and deep fake images, like twenty a day, it's really quite a nuisance. [laughs]"

Aside from a brief teaser, virtually nothing from the game has been shown of Abandoned. Despite repeated delays, a playable prologue, which Hasan claimed "will fund" the final game, has yet to materialize.

 

[Kuranghi]

At least he laughed after the "twenty a day" bit, imagine receiving images of Hasan all day though

 

[BlvckFox]

Kojima officially denied us that picture of perfect butthole.

The dream of many from the Hasan thread.

Paging GHG ...

He is currently questioning his reality.

 

[Gudji]

No, I don't believe you Kojima.

 

[solidus12]

Grubb said that I'll be peeing from my butt, any day now.

 

[Nautilus]

That seems something very suspicious to say, Kojima...


You'll never fool me!

Damn what happened to Grubb? We used to always hear from him. Can't recall the last time we did.

His such a narcissist

Auteur / narcissist kind of go hand in hand. You can't really go out on a limb and create art if you aren't convinced you're the shit.

Just play the games. Not like we have to hang out with the guy.

He makes games? I thought he just made interactive movies with horrible dialogue.

All according to plan.

Try out MGS V sometime then.

If you watch playthroughs of everything on YouTube instead of actually playing games then everything can seem like a movie.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Does he talk about the 8k wood textures?

Kojima literally invented an entire gameplay genre lol. The man built his reputation on gameplay innovation, not just storytelling

Being interrupted by codec calls every 2 minutes is great gameplay. MGS1 and 2 are among the most overrated games ever made imo

And the less said about the 'stealth gameplay' the better

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Still going through this?

# of people I've seen fall for this is nuts.
This is starting to become ridiculous
Even though he's been a prankster before
All of this hubub over no tangible proof
Makes me feel like we've got a ways to go
Realizing you're wrong is healthy
Evidence is lacking, even after all this time
And now the real Silent Hill has come back
Let's just pack it up, guys.

Imagine calling two of the best and most groundbreaking games ever made overrated lmao.

Shame on anyone disrespecting this man & legend

You'd have to be completely brain dead to have ever thought he was involved.

Hideo? Hasan?

I can see why people would get the two names mixed up.

Not.

Funny enough Hideo name can be translated as Hasan in Arabic.

Hasan is a boy's name of Arabic origin which means "handsome" or "good looking."

The name Hideo is primarily a male name of Japanese origin that means Excellence, Man, Beauty.
