OH DAMN.
What even is OD? When Hideo Kojima’s newest project was revealed at The Game Awards 2023 it seemed like even surprise collaborator Jordan Peele had no idea. Is it a game? An interactive movie? A point-and-click sequel to Maniac Mansion? We’re not sure. But we can tell that it’s firmly set in some level of horror and terror, as shown through the incredible mocapping of its star leads Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schaffer and Udo Kier. Just their faces, reciting words and screaming.
The project is exclusive to Xbox, who are lending heavy use of their cloud-based technology. We don’t even know what *THAT* means. Maybe “OD” stands for “OH DAAAAAAAMN” because all of the collab and concepts behind the project are genuinely exciting.
“We are working with Xbox Game Studios and their cloud gaming technology to take on the challenge of creating a very unique, immersive, and totally new style of game – or rather, a new form of media” – Kojima.
Sure man, whatever that means. SURE! LET’S FUCKING GO.
I want it. I want it so bad and I don’t know what it is. (Or when it’ll be here.)
