I'll just close my eyes when the title card drops and murmur "Silent Hills" to myself and it'll be like we hardly missed a beat. Let's go, Ov- Silent Hills!
Tom Henderson: Hideo Kojima’s New Horror Game is Dubbed “Overdose” [KJP asked for article to be removed, TH said No]
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
yeup. that's why i didn't watch any of the later death stranding trailers. kojima loves giving away the whole game in the trailers. I can't recall any significant moments from MGSV that wasn't in one of the trailers
Yeah that was all pretty interesting little tidbits. I wonder if Overdose could maybe be some type of Death Stranding prequel. Could be interesting if so, probably more so than a sequel given how the first game ended.
damnit, im already getting caught up into theories lol
Henderson declined request from Kojima Productions to remove the article
Norman Reedsu said it. It was apparently still in negotiations last year.
Just the actress, not the character.
Also; a horror game from Kojima? Only on Xbox?
Anyone wants to trade an Xbox Series X for a PS5 perhaps?? ;X
Because he's been talking about his horror game for years and the other game in production in collaboration with Microsoft has also been in the news since last summer. KP doesn't seem big enough to make 3 games at the same time + whatever skeleton crew was working on DS:DC.
Yoji Shinkawa was doing art for BRIDGES vehicles that weren't in Death Stranding or the Director's Cut, though. It might have been in some for of pre-production for awhile.

The rumoured Microsoft game began with Google before they cancelled it.
Thanks. It's possible it was in pre-production for a while before getting Reedus in the studio.Norman Reedus seemingly confirms Death Stranding sequel in development

This article from 2019 says Kojima wants to create a cloud game after Death Stranding https://www.videogameschronicle.com...cloud-game-after-death-stranding-fan-service/
This is probably the episodic horror game that would've been a Stadia exclusive, before Google decided not to proceed. With Kojima rumored to be working on a new Death Stranding Sequel, Overdose screams the cloud game that Xbox struck a deal for.

Yeah game drama. The industry is so secretive that stuff like this is bound to happen eventually and it blows up in peoples faces.
Wondering what NDA he is breaking though as he just received a video unsolicited it sounds like.
He follows up with this but like… why tweet at all if you aren't referring to something specific
I think Kojima is working on 3 games.
The Cloud games for Xbox was in negotiations with a letter of intent as of Summer 2021. Jeff Grubb gave an update this year that the game is still progressing with Microsoft, but that it's still very early and most of Kojima's staff don't what the game exactly is.
Death Stranding 2 was in negotiations in Fall 2021, according to a statement Reedus made at a press event back then, and seems to just have gotten into development according to him in his interview last month.
I'm really wondering what Kojima was doing before 2021-2022. Covid hampered things, but in an interview from around Spring 2020, he said he secured funding for a game and was working on it (after he had a previous project cancelled). He has also constantly referred to watching horror movies for work.
I think the horror game, "Overdose" might have been worked on since 2020, with the Xbox Cloud game being worked on since 2021, and Death Stranding 2 just recently in 2022.
This is all speculation of course.

If the journalist is sharing something they themselves received, then they are under no NDA at all and have every legal right to publish what they want on their own website. Koji Pro could sue, but if there is no legal agreement between them and this publication, I don't see them achieving much of anything.
Whoever shared it around that caused it to end up being shared with Tom. Who obviously isn't under NDA or wouldn't be able to write about it.
Tom Henderson is most likely burning bridges with this report and his reluctance to taking down the report as per KJP's request though. Not my problem of course
KP is looking to hire a bunch of people.
Assuming he finally close the deal with MS a early announcement wouldn't be surprising to help with that process.

You think the gaming industry is bad with secrets? Try fashion brands and tech companies. Holy crap.
And I can't blame them, because there's often a lot of money at stake.
Yup agreed.
This actually makes sense that the person who shared the video with Tom is a journalist. That's probably why he was able to leak the state of play - I believe journalists get a list of things at the event so they can have articles written right after it airs, is that right?
Does Tom just leaks stuff that is under embargo?
or he leaks stuff that is far away?
I remenber him leaking some studio announcement 1 hour before the embargo was lifted.

I understand how leaked media (screenshots/concept art/video) can be damaging for games since out of context WIP stuff can lead to toxic responses (see this forum's embarrassingly hysterical Silent Hill thread) or even decreased interest (The Last of Us 2), but I don't see the problem with saying "X is working on X". I don't think saying what someone's making is deserving of twitter dramatics.
If it releases on Xbox I doubt it but it's Kojima for all we know he might make a Dreamcast demo someday to promote a new game lmao
Yup not blaming. It's just the nature of the beast...video games are so popular and people want the info and they want the games and they want the leaks too. All it takes is one person going out and spilling the beans to ruin the whole thing.
Leaks are ruining the special moment and celebration that developers were preparing for since months (or years). I hate it.
Which is weird because doesn't his site leak things as well?
I guess the difference here might be this was a preview shown under NDA to the press already while information they've gotten from sources in studios/publishers was never intended to be revealed publicly at that time? Idk
Way I see it, leaks for something literally getting announced within less than a week are just sad and pointless.
It's totally within Tom Henderson's right to keep the article up as he signed no NDA, but he probably burned bridges with Koji Pro, the publisher, and Geoff Keighley.

I'd love if Hideo Kojima did the Wes Anderson thing and kept a recurring slate of actors across all his products.
