Companies called Kojima’s Xbox cloud game “mad”

Soooo that's a good sign?

Companies who heard of Hideo Kojima’s next cloud-based game with Microsoft called it “mad”, Kojima has revealed.

Speaking with IGN, Kojima said the unnamed title — likely Overdose — has been in his mind for years.

“The project we’re working on with Microsoft is one I have been thinking about for five or six years already,” Kojima told the site.

“The project required infrastructure that was never needed before, so I discussed it with lots of different big companies and gave presentations, but they really seemed to think that I was mad,” he continued. “It was ultimately Microsoft who showed that they understood, and now we’re working together on the project, including the technology front.”

Kojima continued on to say that the project is “one that no-one has ever experienced or seen before,” and is only possible through “Microsoft’s cutting edge cloud technology and the change in the industry’s trend”.

Kojima Productions recently announced Death Stranding 2 for the PS5.
