Hideo Kojima, behind the vision behind Metal Gear Solid and Strand The franchise is memorable about his affinity of magnificence in terms of size, conspiracy and character design. His team's latest game, Death Strand 2: On the BeachI was praised for the high -end environment and the character model.
He is also famous for his quirky. Death Strand 2 Priper cameo, and more recently warm birthday tradition. This tradition has begun Metal Gear Solid V And continue Strand The game after becoming a beloved Easter egg. But his next project, ODIt presents a unique challenge to see that guy breaks this consciousness.

The two features that Death's turned off becomes a game of moment rather than movements.
The smallest stage of death 2 can have an amazing weight, and some moments can only be revealed when the player listens slowly.
Birthday surprise is now a feature of Kojima.
Kojima made the point to recognize the player's birthday in his game. ~ Inside Death Strand 2For example, it is a required request for the player to enter the birth date at the start (or any date the player wants to choose). Then there is a warm scene in the wings in real life that day.
The NPC gathers around the first -person camera and sings to the player, and pizza, candle and confetti are very valuable as gifts. This gesture may look capricious to some people, but it is a great help to create a good moment for the game and emotional connection. Over the years, fans of the Kojima game have repeated this birthday tradition several times and have loved this birthday tradition. This adds to the hands of humanity even the most serious story in the implied world.
But the next game of Hideo Kojima, ODIt is out of his recent work. It is described as a horror experience that explores the meaning of OD for fear. OD Marketing itself is a cold and anxious experience. In cooperation with Xbox Game Studios and Jordan PEELE no and Go outHideo Kojima gives another shot to the horror genre, which can be a threat to the recent birthday tradition.
OD's horror settings can lead to a birthday celebration out of place.
given OD'S Horror Tone, including an amazing birthday party scene can be difficult. There are rumors that this game depends on psychological fear, so it will be heavy in mood and introverted fear. It is in contrast to keep such a topic in mind and include warm or discouraged birthday. ODCreepy tone.
in other words, Strand and Death Strand 2: On the Beach It indicates a bizarre merger of many unique genres alone OD It is mainly a horror game that does not mean that there is no ruin or crash tone. Even if Jordan PEELE plays a big role, it is not a 'Kojima' game unless it has been completely feared and has not destroyed the expectations of the genre. ODBut you can see whether time is the birthday tradition.
Kojima always walked a fine line between immersion and self -awareness. His game is filled with meta reference, quirky bypass and Easter eggs, but hardly interferes with the emotional flow of the fundamental story. Walking on this story is Kojima's specialty, but because the horror video game scene is less forgiven, his creative philosophy can collide in itself.
If someone can feel the birthday message in a horror game, it's Higo Kojima. Nevertheless, I have a true opportunity OD It can be the first game to skip birthday cakes and candles at Kojima Productions in 10 years. It may be the right call in the context of the tone, but the special effects will definitely feel.
