Okami and creator Bayonetta Hidki Kamiy recently considered the demo of Hideo Kojima’s horror demo and his lasting heritage.
Cooperation of Hideo Kojima and film director Guillermo del Toro, PT was released in 2014 on PS4 as a free demo for the upcoming Silent Hills game. However, when the publisher of the Konami series canceled the game in 2015, they also eliminated the demo from the PlayStation store, preventing re -loading. This led to used PS4 consoles with demo recognized by critics, which have high prices on auction sites such as eBay.
At X, where he regularly responds to fans (and blocks/unlocks), Hidki Kamiy recently spoke about PT in response to a user expressing the hope that Kamiya or Kojima will try to create another game in the style of September 5 Kamiya Tweet, “If you can’t resurrect PT, Kojima should create a new game in the same style,” adding: “If Kojima does not do it, maybe I will try. I hate horror, so it would not be a horror movie … Besides, I have no ideas.”
It seems that the upcoming experimental horror of Kojima can connect a hole in the shape For the first time, it was irritated in 2023 with the support of a mysterious trailer, from promising to “explore the concept of testing the threshold of fear and what the beforerout of fear means.”
Like PT, he is also a cooperation with a filmmaker, this time with Jordan Peele from Get Out Fame. Hideo Kojima previously promised It will be something that “no one has seen before”, although the details still remain uncommon. Kojima will hold Special event in Tokyo This month, to celebrate 10 years from the break with Konami, where he will probably reveal more information about future projects (maybe more about from this).
Although Devil May Cry and the creator of Bayonetta Hidki Kamiya began his career in Capcom, working on the original Resident Evil and its continuation, he never created a current, photorealistic horror of horror -like horror -like horror in a series of tweets in October last year, Kamiy noticed that PT had left the gap on the market, which Japanese Indie had hit the exit, which Japanese Indie had an exit in the market. 8. “Exit 8 became viral, but in principle it is simply diluted,” Kamiya said.
Exit 8 is much less bloody and objectively less terrifying than PT, but shares the mechanics of the corridor looped demo, building a sense of fear in the player when they try to see anomalies in the metro transition. Selling a rapid couple after releasing in November 2023, exit 8 developed into such a phenomenon that it even gave birth to a film adaptation (which recently He generated some controversy in Japan).
Despite saying That he can’t play PT alone, because it is “too terrifying”, Hidki Kamiya is full of praise for the demo of Kojima and del Toro. He even went so far say The “8-like” subspecies (games with similar settings and mechanics to exit 8, which spread after its meteoric success), should really be called “reminiscent of PT”. “PT was so revolutionary – with unparalleled uniqueness and I think it strongly influenced the next game creators,” said Kamiya.
Speaking of Kamiya, he is busy working on Okami 2 for Capcom with his recent development studio, Clovers. Kamiya left Platinumgames in 2023 under something like a cloud.
