Kojima teases new mechanic for OD
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hideo Kojima offered new hints about his upcoming horror game FROM. The creator briefly talked about the new mechanics in the game, which he unsuccessfully pitched to several companies. Kojima notes that most companies didn't understand this vision, but things changed when he met with then-current Xbox boss Phil Spencer. Spencer has since been replaced by Asha Sharma, but the company continues to support his overall vision for the game. Without giving too much away, Kojima hints that the gameplay mechanics have something to do with the game's creepiness and how players react to it.
“I wanted to go beyond the 'scary' that other games have achieved. It's a single-player game and I wanted it to be as scary as possible. But for those who might stop playing when it gets too scary, I've come up with a system to keep them going. I can't say more because that would hint at the system too much, because I could hint at the system!”
