Tom Henderson: Hideo Kojima’s New Horror Game is Dubbed “Overdose” [KJP asked for article to be removed, TH said No]
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
He might have nothing to lose. I'm taking a guess from the context here that this was a video sent to some journalists so they could have articles written right after the show. Sounds like Tom wasn't on the in list to get the video anyway.
I hope it's 3rd person.
1st person horror games have become very generic. Actually after PT since it seems everyone wants to follow on its success.

Maybe it's just me but I'm picking up a bit of smugness in that follow up tweet that I really don't care for.
As usual some idiot leaks so all the hard work of devs is undermined.
I get people love leaks, and it gains a nice Twitter following but if I'd been working on this reveal for a while I'd be pissed some dunderhead puts out poorly compressed images of it.
No doubt someone will leak the video in a day or two as well.

They just confirmed the game is real.

A new horror game could be cool even though I haven't really enjoyed a Kojima game since MGS2, but I am still interested to see what it could be.
Yeah, little bit. But I guess if I were a games news person and had posted something and was then contacted privately by a company to remove it, I would probably announce that they had contacted me. That part seems reasonable.
Idk, if i was in KJP/Sony position i would probably be pissed enough with the leak to try at least a DMCA.
He didn't post any images, music or other material from the game. There's no grounds for a DMCA.
Edit: Also, Sony? I don't think they were mentioned where they?
Ugh, leaks suck so bad. Ruin a surprise, ruin people's excitement to reveal their work, piss off devs and pubs, etc just to get yourself some clout for a few days.
I feel the same about stuff that gets datamined.

A bunch of Journalists/ Influencers went up to California recently for SGF to see stuff behind the scenes, I doubt Tom wouldve been part of that but if this game was shown to people under condition of being NDA then that may explain how this info made its way to Tom or got leaked by someone else.
If they were smart they wouldve just ignored it. Directly contacting tom literally just confirms that what he said is true.
Never understand being upset at leaks. Guy is doing his job. Guess corporations should just control all messaging. Only post what they want you to.
Yup, dumb play from KJP.
Makes sense.
Just assuming they are related to the project.
The best thing the could have done was stay quiet, now the reveal was spoiled.
Sued for what exactly? He didn't sign a NDA. And he didn't post material.
I doubt we need to tell lawyers and PR professionals how to do their job. If they contacted this person to take down the article it's because they believe they have some ground on that and of course it's not in the hoe that said person is going to run to Twitter the following second like "guys they told me to take it down and I said no".
I agree with you, but calling Kojima Pro a corporation is a bit of a stretch to be fair lol
There's a right way to leak (Jason Scheier, where the leak is tied to news), and a wrong way to leak (just for clout). Leaks don't necessarily bother me but I get it, a lot of people do put a lot of their time and effort to keep it under wraps and have a fun reveal.
Companies want to control the messaging behind the product they've spent/will spend years with? Especially Kojima who may have a neat/different way to show the game that could generate more buzz.
As Jason Shrier himself said, leaks like this are something he himself has stopped engaging in.
There is literally nothing beneficial to the consumer about leaking an announcement happening in a week or so, except to ruin the surprise. There was 0 else of substance in the leak. No insight corporations don't want us to know, nothing.
The guy has the right to post a story, Koji Pro has the right to ask for its removal. Nothing to see here, as far as that's concerned. At the end of the day, when the game is revealed, it will be probably be incredibly exciting to have that additional layer of confirmation, regardless of how much we find out about the game itself prior to its official unveiling!
I did not know the logo for this game was leaked by an exclusive Xbox youtuber. Maybe it's fake, but the other leaker got the upside down red triangle right. And the news broke around the same time.
This person claims that he have seen a whole gameplay of the game, and that there is more than one video walkthrough of the game.
- All the videos are of people playing the game on mobiles.
- It takes place in a abandoned factory.
- He think that this is an Apple Arcade game or an Xbox game played through cloud.
- Also says that he would be surprise if it's a mobile game, because it looks really good graphically.
- The gameplay he have saw is third person.
- He says that it doesn't look similar to P.T or Silent Hill.
All this comes from here (Spanish video):

Edit: Geoff have started to follow this person on Twitter today too.
Edit: Also talks about smaller red circles appearing in the screen that he thinks that are for interact with things.

Usually I don't care about leaks but stuff being revealed like 1-2 days before the official announcement seems a bit too much. At this point keep the surprise¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the end he isn't doing anything wrong, unnecessary smugness aside, you're a leaker not a super hero.

Kojima has a history of making announcements interesting and exciting. See: P.T. or Moby Dick Studio.
They're just marketing gimmicks, yes. But for fans of the medium, it can be fun.
I get where you're coming from but that designation seems arbitrary to me.
Of course they want to control the messaging surrounding their investment. But if a journalist gets hold of that information, they have every right to do their job and report it.
Surprise isn't a good enough reason to stop someone from doing their job.
the phone thing is throwing me off. all of this sounds weird.This person claims that he have seen a whole gameplay of the game, and that there is more than one video walkthrough of the game.

I know. I'm just saying I don't like it and don't benefit from it (in this particular case).
It looks like they are leaking articles from some kind of a news terminal. It's some kind of leak for sure, but it's still the info which was intended to get out set with an embargo for maximum effect.
A journalist has the right, sure. It's up to their discretion. I was speaking more to why some may get upset.
