Thought this was an onion article at first.

The man is out of his gourd. This is what years of no one saying no to you does to even very talented people.

 

[Arsic]

Funny enough that's what I nicknamed my penis (ghost) because you can't see it getting pussy ever, yet somehow scares women everytime they see this little guy.

So he scan my dick if he wants.

 

[Paasei]

Nice. I went to a Ghost show once on a festival. Solid band.

Didn't he want to go to space for Death Stranding?

[JoduanER2]

Hideo Kojima is soooo far up his own ass... I hate death stranding's weirdness, it is just weird without sense or cohesion, like "see we can make very weird things! Does it make sense?! No!! But who cares!!"...

 

[PrefectAboro]

Remember those old Unsolved Mysteries/Sightings episodes where "paranormal experts" would set up infra-red cameras, sound equipment to "capture" any supernatural activity? Poltergeists' slamming doors, the atmosphere getting colder, "orbs" on camera, "voices/whispers". What if he means that? I mean in the end it could all be bullshit...but humor me.

Shit even if he brought his actress and left her alone in a LEGIT haunted building let's say where a murder took place and just let his cameras on overnight capturing "paranormal activity" and sounds, that would be even creepier than him CREATING it post production in sound design.

Ghosts don't exist

Used to like Kojima a Lot, buyed a PS3 only for MGS4.... really thought that he was a genius. But nowdays I found him cringe as f-.-.k. Really annoying.

 

[Embearded]

Saying he wants to get an award for capturing a ghost is stupid, plain stupid.

Going around the world and recording "creepy" sounds from hypothetical haunted places, putting them in the game and then using it as marketing is smart.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Is he a tryhard desperate to be the David Lynch of gaming?

 

[Sticks]

He definitely scans his own farts

 

[Kilau]

I think he's finally gone too far up his own ass even for me.

 

[dispensergoinup]

Strap in, let's go, scan whatever man. All gas no brakes, I'm in!

 

[Arachnid]

Yeah I thought this was bullshit too. I had to search up other articles to determine that it is indeed a thing.

I fucking love Kojima. Fuck yeah man! Scan that ghost!

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Liopleurodon]

At least he is pursuing something.

We need more people like him in industry.

Dreamers who create experiences.

 

[joey Dubs]

 

[jzbadblood]

I've had enough.

 

[captainpat]

Dunno why people here always get so pissy about the stuff he his. His games end up not using most of the crazy ideas he says so stop worrying about it.

 

[Wastelander92]

Just use an Xbox.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Kojima, just look at yourself in a mirror.

It works also with aliens and zombies

 

[Kikorin]

Just don't be the ghost of Yotei and all will be fine.

 

[Neff]

That's nice. I want a pair of forceps large and sturdy enough to dislodge Kojima's head from his own ass.

>Actual resources will be spent on SCANNING A FUCKING GHOST in this game

 

[proandrad]

>Actual resources will be spent on SCANNING A FUCKING GHOST in this game

Kojima is a sleeper agent for Sony, and he is just wasting all the funds Microsoft gave him to make this game.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

With all due respect to Kojima, does he literally believe Ghosts are real? Perhaps its a cultural thing in Japan I'm not aware of?

 

[DarkShadowXI]

We're gonna miss this weirdo when he's done making his weird ass games lol

One of a kind!

 

[Audiophile]

Well ok then.

 

[ScHlAuChi]

 

[John Bilbo]

I'm not the least bit surprised.

 

[Kurotri]

I fuckin love Kojimbo, man

 

[Signalis]

Those are some lovely tits

 

[Killer8]

"Maybe the ghost was there, but she's no longer there anymore," Kojima says. "But anyways, and that's why we went to the shrine together with Microsoft to make sure that we have a safe build of the game."

Phil-sama, game studio exorcist. The power of Game Pass compels you!

 

[simpatico]

Based. Don't let them clip your wings Hideo!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Lowkey this is my favorite thing this man has ever said.

Sham!

 

[Abysse]

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

It's all fun and games now but when the next headline is about a crazed Japanese game dev going on a murder spree to "create ghosts to scan"...

 

[A.Romero]

With all due respect to Kojima, does he literally believe Ghosts are real? Perhaps its a cultural thing in Japan I'm not aware of?

People believe in ghosts all around the world, not only in Japan.

For example: https://civicscience.com/infographic-measuring-americans-belief-in-the-paranormal-and-supernatural/

That said this is obviously stupid from Kojima. Believing in that it's OK in my book (as with any other thing like religion or superstition) but actually spending money trying to "scan" a ghost and imagining he can win an award by doing that just doesn't make sense.

We know Kojima likes that kind of stuff (PT, BTs are basically sci fi ghosts, etc) but this is beyond that. Even for marketing purposes this might turn off more people than pull them towards the game.

Also what's up with that line about visiting a shrine to make sure the game is safe?

 

[mdkirby]

It would be freaking hilarious if the existence of ghosts was proven because some eccentric game designer just went a bit off on one

 

[Pallas]

Visual representation of what Kojima thinks what a ghost looks like.

Spoiler

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

Bro must have read the news of Microsoft's financials for Xbox and is either trying to extract as much capital from them as possible, or just trying to get the game cancelled.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Dude, hell yeah.

If Kojima somehow ends up being the person who proves that ghosts exist, that'll be 100% proof that we're living in a simulation.

And if anyone would wind up doing it, it's him.
