- Hideo Kojima wants to record a real ghost for the development of OD.
- He hints that he may have already done so, referring to a cracking sound recorded in a studio during production.
- Kojima and Microsoft visited a shrine to ensure a clean build of the game later on.
Kojima Productions is developing the Microsoft-published title OD, which is now being referred to as the spiritual successor of 2016’s PT by fans. As is typical for a Kojima game, OD appears quite unorthodox and unusual in a good sense.
It seems that Kojima wants to go above and beyond for this horror adventure. In a bizarre statement, he revealed that he wants to scan real ghosts for the game’s development and hinted that he may have already done so.
Why it matters: Hideo Kojima is regarded for pushing the limits of what’s possible in a video game, whether it’s creating a new genre or something else. Still, for breaking boundaries, recording a real ghost seems absolutely outlandish.
At Kojima Productions’ 10th anniversary, the creator discussed the development of OD and his goals for the project. To further push the realism bar in a video game, he recorded a real-life area, which doesn’t seem weird at all; however, what he said next shocked many.
For OD, I want to go around, all over the world where [there] are scary kind of places — I want to scan a ghost for the first time and I want to get an award for that.
He further added that he may have already recorded a ghost’s voice for the game. Apparently, one cracking noise from the studio makes Kojima believe he has recorded a ghost.
Maybe the ghost was there, but she’s no longer there anymore.
Whether it was real or not, Kojima wasn’t willing to take any chances and took Microsoft to a shrine to ensure a clean build of the game because even he knows that messing with paranormal activity isn’t something to be taken lightly.
In other news, a brand-new trailer for OD was released at the same event, looking both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The game’s cast includes several big Hollywood stars such as Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier.
