What would the Game Awards be without good old Hideo Kojima? Geoff Keighley’s good friend was obviously there, but this time did not come to present his podcast. But rather his new game, ODdeveloped with Xbox Game Studios.
So as usual, a lot of wind was stirred up for not much. The character Kojima is already special enough as it is, inventing revolutionary concepts this time
“an immersive experience between a game and a film, a new type of media” in his own words. But then with Geoff Keighley giggling in front of his idol, we don’t make much progress.
All we can say is that the OD project is intended to be horrific. Moreover, Jordan Peele, a well-known director in the horror film genre (Us, Get Out), appeared on stage to announce that he was participating in the project. In the same way as other legends of the industry, but which Kojima could not yet name.
10 minutes on stage – when award winners only have a handful of seconds for their thanks – that sums up the atmosphere of the ceremony well. Still, OD, developed by Kojima Productions in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios, exists. We leave you with the few images of actors studiously reading their text, so that you fully understand the genius.
