OD OverDose Is Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills,Sort Of.

#hideokojima #horrorgaming #konami

The recent buzz of the word silent hill has taken an unexpected turn,as it has nothing to do with Konami at all but rather with Hideo Kojima's OD. In this video,we take a detailed look at the PT and Silent Hill related "references",and take a shot at what they could mean for the upcoming horror game.

It's quite astonishing how clear the SH and PT references are, and to have 3 of them in a single announcement is unbelievable. I wonder if people will find more.😂

It’s fairly obvious that this isn’t a Konami / Kojima collaboration for Silent Hills, I think he’s just making the Silent Hills that never was, and all the PT / Silent Hill references are just that, references

Note that the door is *not* just a stage prop. For one, that doesn't matter anyhow as you can't use copyrighted material to promote your game even if isn't in the title. More importantly tho, we see the same door and light setup in the leaked footage of the game from last year. So an asset from PT's demo is directly in OD. Also note that Del Toro dropped a big hint in 2021 too, saying awkwardly how he sure would like to see another Silent Hill game.

Soo it probably is Silent Hills without the Silent Hill IP. Hideo can’t risk getting in trouble with Konami or having to pay them so the references must be very cryptic.

When it comes to horror games, Alan Wake 2 blew my mind. When you play as Alan Wake and you're in new york, it gave me such strong Silent Hills vibe (by that I mean the end trailer of the P.T demo trailer were you see Norman Reedus walking in a completely pitch dark, rainy street). I hope they can gather creative minds, artists and musicians to make something as spectacular as Alan Wake 2 was.

I genuinely think Kojima is telling us that while he can't give us "Silent Hill", he CAN give us the game he WAS going to name "Silent Hill" but as "O.D." (for obvious legal reasons).

Obviously he can't come right out and say, 'Guys, this is the Silent Hill project from my previous employment', so I think this is his way to get people intrigued, as well as pass along this message.

OT Overdose may relate to Silent Hills / PT in similiar fashion to how Haunting Ground and Devil May Cry relate to Resident Evil 4, ie early concepts from development period got recycled and spawned those games. It seems Death Stranding also recycled ideas from Silent Hills.

I swear, people need to move on from this nonsense… let these things living in the past and move on with your life.

While I think the second detail mentioned is a stretch it is still interesting to think about when coupled up with other pieces of evidence provided. I'm certain that OD will be a spiritual successor of sorts to Silent Hills while still being its own thing which has me excited. I am kinda disappointed Del Toro isn't working with Kojima again for this project but Peele is a great filmmaker too so I think he'll do well with this project.

Don't know what the hell it is.. But it's gonna blow our minds 😮

[usujiotarako]

Can anyone tell me at what point did they call the game overdose? I watched the whole segment from TGA again and at no point did the game get referred to as Overdose

[Itsyesfahad]

So can we finally say P.T. is happning?

[blahblahgdp]

Maybe konami is the blood sacrifice to make OD ar eality

Metaphor, metaphor, metaphor & Autobiography 🤔

0:40 Okay I gotta say, the door was a very clear and obvious hommage, so we all noticed it already. 😄
4:00 The thing with the letters is actually really interesting! Oh and to answer your question: Because it's Kojima. (easy^^)
The ending of the video gave me hope tho, I'm crossing my fingers that this will be something good, something that will actually be a horror title (like Silent Hills) that Kojima intended to build in the first place. Very curious to get more breadcrumbs from him in the future.

Is that "purple dinosaur..." phrase something they say during motion capture to get all the mouth/lip movement positions?

[hijodelsoldeoriente]

Great video! You're very underrated. Hope your channel grow.

PT never was connected to Silent Hill. PT and its narrative are a way to connect Metal Gear and Death Stranding. Nothing in the game has links to how Silent Hill operates. He simply is referencing Silent Hill for his own narrative.

It should be noted that PT never got a formal release by Konami. Therefore Konami doesn't have the same rights to the game's assets and details. Using that door was not infringing on copyright, because PT had no copyright like a normal game series.

i might need to pick up an Xbox for this game. i still have PT and i play it on the regular. but if this is what he wanted to do with Silent Hills i'm game.

I don't think Atami is the place Silent Hill was based off of, I think it's just where the game will take place.
