I went to art school, which was around the time 3D games came out. Surprisingly, I never thought of making it my profession. He is the CEO and creative director and in the following video he reveals more details about his next project and shows some artistic concepts for it. Last year, Toyama left Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio to establish his own studio, Bokeh Game Studio. Yet this team is worth paying attention to, and I can’t wait to play through the world that Bokeh presents to us.Keichiro Toyama, who worked on Silent Hill, (Forbidden) Siren and Gravity Rush, revealed more details about his next game. That does not mean I won’t keep my eyes on several indie horror games coming our way. They’re not the only team looking to reinvigorate the horror genre in video games, but I think they are the most promising. After all, the concept of fear Toyama conveys means we’re not limited to frightening monsters stalking us through environments. After watching the video, I’m confident that he will scratch our itch for a memorable horror game. With the freedom of his studio, there is no doubt in my mind that he will develop a game that will satisfy the fans. I can sit here making all the predictions I want to, but Toyama makes unique video games. I don’t mean “Make the game as difficult as Dark Souls.” I hope Toyama takes inspiration from the realism of a character’s physical limitations from a Souls game. Please give me something as macabre and somber as Silent Hill or Alan Wake, with a Dark Souls touch. I’ll make another prediction: It won’t be as stylized or action-heavy as Devil May Cry. I’m purely speculating based on his comment and the picture, but it sure looks to me like we’ll be in a modern environment with fantasy-horror elements. He also states that a city he and his family visited in Asia helped draw inspiration for the setting. I’ve been inspired by locations this time as well and started with that.” Toyama explains, “One trait of my games is the setting, what city or village do we evolve in, how did these people get there, what’s their emotional state. Perhaps the character is the main protagonist, or an able denizen of the world Bokeh Game Studio will create? Either way, it’s indicative of where the game’s direction will go. When our familiarity with the world and what’s going on is questionable, monsters add to the frightening scenario.Ībove, we see a character wielding a sword. I like a game that is difficult to cope with psychologically. monster as their element of terror can feel shallow. However, a game that settles for the usual man vs. I’m all for science fiction creatures and a protagonist who must put them down. Rather than showing scary things, it should question our position, make us challenge the fact we’re living peacefully.”

The view of horror I have is the everyday life being shaken. “While keeping elements from horror, I want the player to feel exhilarated when playing the game. The concept that something challenges our way of life is how Toyama will ground the game.

I know it’s odd to say that a horror video game sounds grounded but hear me out. This influenced me and I think it will show in my next game.” I haven’t read death games manga, nor have I watched any anime under the genre besides part of Deadman Wonderland. “They’re on the edge emotionally, while dealing with action or drama. “You have these regular people driven into situations,” he says. This time, he shares that he is partly inspired by “death games,” a prevalent phenomenon in Japanese manga. Toyama spoke about the first project last time, but he goes a step further in a newly released video titled ‘Focus.’ He states that the game will be horror-oriented and made in his style. Rather than hype myself up for their future game, I’m sticking to optimistically following their progress. It may not be news about a title or even a character for the game, but it’s a thrill to see the team’s vision shape up.

Well, Keiichiro has graced fans with news and never-before-seen concept art for their first project, an unnamed horror-adventure game that looks profoundly disturbing. Last December, I posted an article about Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama and his new company Bokeh Game Studio.
