Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
He turns dumb anime tropes into dumb anime games with celebrities and high production values.

Storytelling aside, his games contain more mechanical depth and attention to detail than most every other title out there. He and his teams understand how to create interesting playgrounds and sandboxes.

Introducing the OD project as a parody of P.T. and the Silent Hills project is not the genius reference that Kojima thinks it is, but rather an insult to his fans that actually want Silent Hills and not this poor replacement of it.
If he really wants to get a second shot at making a horror game, alongside Hollywood actors, an acclaimed filmmaker and other creative powerhouses, then he should've swallowed his fucking pride and had signed the Silent Hills revival that both Konami and Sony were trying to get off the ground years ago as part of the initial greenlight round of externally-developed Silent Hill projects - and then made fucking Silent Hills with Guillermo Del Toro, Norman Reedus and Junji Ito.
This is as disrespectful to his audience as Nomura's constant teasing of Versus XIII within Kingdom Hearts, like, what the fuck are you even doing? Just stop, give Kingdom Hearts a fucking break and make your goddamn Final Fantasy game once and for all.

Maybe he knows, just as well as his fans and/or Silent Hill fans, that he and Silent Hill really aren't a stylistic match.

Then don't reference the door from P.T. ever again. Just move on and create some new and iconic imagery for OD instead of throwing salt into the Silent Hills wound.
The monologues of the various characters in the OD trailer were cool and unsettling, that was great, that was 100% original of OD, but he lost me with all the P.T. throwbacks.

Hey, I'm not the one who built a real life set out of P.T.'s starting room at The Game Awards for a game that has absolutely nothing to do with P.T. or Silent Hills."Move on" might be good advice for you as well.
If John Garvin were to arrive at Summer Games Fest riding a motorcycle and cosplaying as Deacon St. John for the reveal of his new IP Ashfall, I'd also ask what the fuck does he think he's doing considering that the game being shown is not Days Gone 2.

I think you're taking this a little too serious than it needs to be lol. It was a dumb joke that only 10 people got. I doubt anyone sitting in the live arena went "OH HEY THAT'S THE DOOR FROM P.T"

Have you ever written a poem or a song? It starts with something small that gets stuck in your head, a chorus or a phrase. If the idea or concept is strong enough, you build and expand on it. If I had to venture a guess, that's what is happening here and it is all the better that this idea can be its' own free of the influence and expectations of another IP.

The more Kojima uses famous actors, the less respect I have for his works
Not sure who Jordan peele is, because I Ignore celebs

Kojima + Peele could be an interesting combo. If Kojima uses P.T as a template it could get even more interesting. Still salty that nothing came to fruition after that and Silent Hills being cancelled. Might as well use the tech for a new game. It was a cool intro Kojima made coming out of the door and Peeles entrance was sort of a mic drop moment, but it was pretty cringe how both of em tripped over themselves to praise one another. I guess rubbing elbows and sucking up is industry practice. But it does feel sometimes that Kojima far more enjoys hanging out with Hollywood celebrities than being in the studio creating groundbreaking games. I guess he earned that right though. Say what you want about his games, but there is no denying he is a visionary.

Like the other poster said, I'm not expecting this to be like PT. Just that I loved PT, and am keen to see what Kojima comes up with again for the horror medium via OD.

Nice downgrade from Del Toro in PT to Jordan Peele in OD. Peele is a great comedian but mediocre director that made only one good movie and the rest of his projects is just pandering, boring slop but he acts like his shit dont stink.

This game has me interested as a Kojima fan. Hopefully it comes to PS but alas

BS, Death Stranding was a slog to go through, and there was nothing interesting to do in that world.

I'm not the biggest DS fan but it has one of the most unique and innovative online implementations since Demon Souls.

As someone who has previously loved Kojima's work (mostly Metal Galear, Death Stranding was eh), this trailer is fucking dumb. At least with the initial death stranding trailer you had some cool WTF moments, this is just WTF were they thinking? It's still Kojima though, so it's always at least worth keeping an eye one.

Huge fan of both Death Stranding and Get Out and this looks about as interesting as watching paint dry.

The reality is...
Kojima working on XBOX game:
But it's a game were he works with Jordan Peele:

Nah, it's just not for you. I played it 3 times and loved every second of it, easily the most addictive game this gen. The World VS Player micro-management dynamic is probably the best ever made. Hell, definitelly. I'm not even bringing up the setting originality and mind blowing creativity, or the absolutely exquisite online features.
I recommend Call Of Duty games, they may be more suited for you tastes. It's more action, less...well everything else (i like them personally, when i want that kind of straightforwardness).

I haven’t played a Call of Duty game since World at War. Well played with that passive aggressive shot making it seem like I need to have a game dumbed down or I don’t like games with depth. Acting like you know MY tastes because I think Death Standing is trash. I hope your Kojima shrine is working well for you.

I think that the key and the secrets of the teaser have a lot to do with the reflection of the eyes, of the characters.

i lost it when he try to replace Hayter since mgs3 and the last drop was mgsv with Sutherland.
Now that we have facial motion capture, it does make sense to hire actual actors. And the trend wasn't started by Kojima; IIRC, GTA 3 already had a cast full of celebs.
yes and its sad he is the video game goat imo.

Gonna be honest at first I didn't notice the reflection on their eyes. .. damn when I noticed the door my moth open straight away
Really curious looking forward for the game,
Nah, Kojima always said games and movies are totally different mediums with different goals. Movies passive, games interactive, that's why he always made a point of creating smth new gameplay wise.
Ppl saying Kojima should just start making movies never played his games, it's a fact.
Even if OD veers closer to movies I'm 100% sure the gameplay part will still be fun.

I'm expecting it to be some sort of episodic interactive movie-type experience.
That he's working with multiple directors suggests the episodic part, and the streaming aspect has obvious consequences for gameplay. My thought would be that although there's a traditional game element and its not just a massive collection of pre-recorded sequences, the way the player controls the game will be indirect in some way.
If its cloud/stream based then it follows that it needs to playable using any sort of interface from a browser to a smartphone. Which in turn makes me wonder whether it'll be in any way tied to Xbox hardware on the consumer end - I'd suspect it'll be available as a standalone thing accessed via a webpage or kiosk app. They could bundle it in with GamePass (and likely will) but I'd be very, very surprised if its exclusive.

I have no idea what that was on about. And I'm really not a fan of famous actors being portrayed in video games. I'm just sick of all these people. I just prefer original characters and designs.
I honestly believe without Game Pass a game like this could not exist. This is coming from someone who really enjoyed that Immortality game.

The Guillermo Del Toro bridge was burned though. He said he would never work with them again and never work on a game again, the whole thing left a bad taste in his mouth.
Silent Hills wasn't getting revived, that's just the reality. It's way too early to make any judgement calls about OD.

That Kojima sure does know how to make a teaser. I have no idea what this game is, but it was arresting. Like that 10-minute Death Stranding teaser from way back when.
