Hideo Kojima wants to "scan a ghost" into OD, but he already recorded the ghost in his studio and "that's why we went to the shrine together with Microsoft" to make sure the game isn't haunted

"I want to scan a ghost for the first time and I want to get an award for that"

www.gamesradar.com

Hideo Kojima is recognized and celebrated far more often than just about any other developer in the game industry, but there's one award he's still trying to grab: the award for being the first game developer to scan a ghost into a game. He's not quite there yet, but he did manage to record the sound of the ghost that once haunted Kojima Productions for OD, his upcoming, Xbox-published horror game.

A new OD trailer debuted today, showing a hyper-realistic character played by Sophia Lillis trying to light some candles in a nondescript room while increasingly apparent horrors creep in around her. In a presentation following the trailer's debut, Kojima says he scanned a "real-life area" for this scene, and he's not stopping there.

"For OD, I want to go around, all over the world where [there] are scary kind of places," Kojima says via translator. "I want to scan a ghost for the first time and I want to get an award for that."

Kojima says "there should be a ghost" in the room that the studio scanned. "But you hear this cracking sound?" he asks. "That's actually a sound that was recorded in our studio."

Apparently, at one point there were "queeks" in the Kojima Productions studio. "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."

If Kojima's going to the trouble of trying to get actual ghosts scanned into OD, I do appreciate that he's trying to make sure the game itself isn't haunted. Here's hoping no supernatural horrors are disseminated around the world whenever OD finally launches.

This is gonna be the first gho-stranded type of game, mark my words.

 

[Mr Moose]

Are the ghosts in the room with us now?

 

[Dacvak]

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.

 

[DragoonKain]

Kojima needs to get in touch with this guy if he wants to meet a ghost

Just the feet though right?

50/50 it is just the feet.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

During the MGS era, I would get super excited when Kojima would talk about crazy shit he wanted to do for the next game in the series.

Now, he's just crazy. Which I still find amusing, but I don't really want to play his games anymore.

 

[CrimsonTide]

I think ALL of mankind has tried to scan, see, prove ghosts exist lol Good Luck

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

He can use this pic from my trip to the lovely Shadow Moses islands.

 

[Signalis]

He wants to scan his own farts as well. Collectors Edition of the game is also rumoured to come with a candle that when lit smells like Kojima's farts as well

 

[Hookshot]

He should never have been encouraged all those years ago.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I hope he casts the ghost of Abe Vigoda and pays his estate 4M for the honor

 

[//DEVIL//]

This guy is crazy

 

[realcool]

Kojima's gonna fuck around and cause a voidout.

 

[Punished Miku]

 

[MiguelItUp]

He's got insane aspirations, and you know what? I respect it, lmao. Go find your real ghost Kojima, go find your real ghost.

 

[geary]

 

[Gambit2483]

Clearly he's being cynical. I mean it's not like he's actually serious...right?

 

[analog_future]

Kojima just looking for a sexy ghost to goon over for his new game

If anyone can do it, it would be him.

 

[Nocty]

[R6Rider]

My friends call me casper because I'm so fucking white.

I'll do it for free.

 

[Venom Snake]

Just make sure this ghost is at least 18 years old.

think you mean "creak"

but now i like "queek" more

 

[SJRB]

If he wants to scan something that's dead but still lingering around he should scan an Xbox.

 

[RedC]

 

[Buggy Loop]

I'm sure Microsoft is happy with that project goal… should be achieved anytime now

 

[L*][*N*K]

Ugh.

 

[Esppiral]

Kojima needs to get in touch with this guy if he wants to meet a ghost

Kohima needs to get in touch with reality

 

[VolticArchangel]

Kojima needs to get in touch with this guy if he wants to meet a ghost

"Jamie, pull up that video of a grizzly bear, mauling a ghost."

 

[RaidenJTr7]

" life finds a way for kojima to see a real ghost for the first time in history'

 

[spookyfish]

We need that Colin Trevorrow/Chris Nolan meme.

 

[MandingoMcThickens]

The last great auteur of our generation.

 

[Memati187]

If you think Konami was of touch by letting go this lunatic, think again. This guy is a nutjob lol
