(UPDATE): Junji Ito and Hideo Kojima Working on New Horror Game - Rely on Horror

Legendary developer Hideo Kojima in talks with horror manga author Junji Ito about collaborating together on a new unnamed horror title.

"I do know director Kojima and we have been in conversation that he may have a horror-based game that he may be doing, and so he has invited me to work on that, but there are no details on it yet. "

 

[THEAP99]

Wonder who's publishing

 

[Danjin44]

Juni Ito? That’s exciting and will be more exciting if Kojima didn’t use celebrities’s faces for the characters in this game.

 

[KormaChameleon]

I wonder if Kojima's vision of "Silent Hills" will be coming back under a different name and with Junji in the equation. I so cannot wait to see the creature designs.

 

[Pallas]

Wow Junji Ito is a pretty good horror artist, I’d consider him one of the best, if not the best in Japan. Art below with the spoiler tag.

Spoiler

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Junji Ito is 10/10. Give me this uzumaki vibe please..

 

[GreyHorace]

Junji Ito probably wrote and drew the best adaptation I've ever seen of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. For that alone, he ranks as one of my favorite manga artists.

 

[carlosrox]

It's Junji isn't it?

 

[turtlepowa]

And Monster Energy advertising....

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Must be the rumored upcoming PS exclusive

 

[Pallas]

It's Junji isn't it?

Yes, the thread title has a typo.

 

[The Rain King]

Hmm. This could be good.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Conflicted. Junji Ito is great. Kojima is a pretentious, over rated developer. I'll reserve judgement.

 

[GrayChild]

This will be the greatest game ever made. Mark my words.

MiyazakiHatesKojima GET ITT!!

 

[Rac3r]

Wow

 

[Naibel]

I would love seeing this game stylized like a Junji Ito manga : black & white, maybe cell-shaded, rough-looking and very detailled. That's where his brand of body horror truly shines. Hard to pull off but something worth looking into.

Silent Hills was a missed opportunity for the duo but I hope they gonna complete their vision this time. Add former team Silent members into the mix and it would be a match made in heaven Arrgh, can't wait !

 

[PapyDoc]

Conflicted. Junji Ito is great. Kojima is a pretentious, over rated developer. I'll reserve judgement.

He is a Game designer, director and writer, not a game developer and you know when you directed and produce the Metal Gear Series, I think you could have some ego. The dude is not Neil Druckmann.

 

[Stilton Disco]

I'm in. Literally don't even need to see it or know anything else about it, just bloody well give it to me.

 

[UnNamed]

They were working together on Silent Hills, and when the game was canned I was worried about they would never worked together again. I'm glad I was wrong, Ito is a genius.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

I stand corrected. Then he's a pretentious, over rated game designer, director and writer. Happy?

 

[PapyDoc]

Well I can be happy about the pretentious game director but overrated ? Well he is as overrated as Miyamoto, which I think is wrong. Don't like the dude and his game if you want but most of them were great.

 

[Freeman]

Oh shit, here we go, I like this.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Kojima will make an awesome horror game No doubt.

But Id rather something closer to his bread and butter action/stealth

 

[KOMANI]

Q: Are you involved in any video game development at the moment?

A: The simple answer is,“No”.

Ito never worked on PT. He was asked if he’d work on it, but he didnt do any work for the project.

 

[Mista]

Not a horror fan but definitely a Junji Ito and Kojima fan. Two of them in a project? I am 100% in!

 

[BaneIsPain]

One of my favourite mangaka with Hideo? Sign me up.

 

[Aion002]

I stand corrected. Then he's a pretentious, over rated game designer, director and writer. Happy?

Sure.... Over rated....The dude just created Metal Gear a series that to this day is still relevant and influenced a shit ton of games.... And Kojima won a shit ton of prizes and awards and is respected by pretty much everyone on the industry, since 86 he keeps being relevant, having tons of fans... He also made beloved games like Snatcher, Policenauts, Zone of the Enders and others, including a demo that got a lot of praise and love... Overated sure..... I guess you are more of a Randy Pitchford type of guy, right?

 

[SkylineRKR]

I love Kojima.

I love how pretentious and ridiculous his storylines are. Its keeps me coming back and its certainly more interesting than the story of an annual Assassins Creed. His games have a certain uniqueness behind them, and they're generally insane. If you're going to dissect it, then you can burn it to the ground but thats the charm of it.

He didnt make Zone of Enders. He only produced Zone of Enders, edited the opening cutscene, and helped choose the music. Noriaki Okamura wrote and directed ZOE and was inspired by Evangelion. Kojima did come up with the game design for Boktai, but didn’t write or direct that either.

Yeah my bad... Still, a better producer than many others.

No, I'm more of 'people that make games I enjoy playing' type of guy.

So recognize someone's accomplishments is impossible for you if you don't enjoy their craft? Ok..

Would you like to point out where I said that?

"over rated game designer, director and writer. "


That's fine... Sorry to disturb. Have a nice day!

 

[sonomamashine]

Kojima wants to be HollyWood so bad that he's willing to put 30% of the budget on actors, he doesn't care about gamers, i don't know who's he's trying to impress with his dumb princess beach bullsh!t.

Want to play a game of spot the difference with me? It'll be fun.

 

[Aion002]

Nah... I am good.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Sight unseen, I am in.... for Ito alone.

LOL It was a Bionic Woman in-joke. Guess you have to be of a certain age to get the reference, but Lindsay Wagner running is slow-motion is unforgettably iconic if you were a kid in the 1970's.

Not PT, Silent Hills.
This concept has a distinctive Junji Ito's vibe

Vibe or not, Ito never worked on “SILENT HILLS”

 

[HaveButOneLife]

Neil Druckmann isn't one, Kojima literally calls himself a game developer.

 

[Strider311]

Junji Ito is the GOAT.

 

[The Fartist]

I wish my nightmares were as awesome as Junji's illustrations.

 

[Arachnid]

Those two GOATs working together will put out a fantastic product.

Plus, it's Kojima so I'll be there day 1 regardless

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Juni Ito? Sold!

 

[lame gag1990]

Junji Ito's art has to be the most disturbing art out there right? It would be interesting to see if it could translate into a game.

There wasn't much done before the project ended.

There's more than one. The one Cerny's working on is Jak or another classic franchise.
