Earlier this week during Spike TV’s annual bro-tastic VGAs, Hideo Kojima formally announced that the oft-delayed Metal Gear Rising had been reborn as Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and that the melee combat based action game was no longer being developed in-house at Kojima Productions, but rather by Platinum Games, a developer with a well established pedigree in the genre. The marriage of Metal Gear, which remains one of gaming’s premiere franchises, and Platinum Games, the creators of critically acclaimed action games like Bayonetta and Vanquish, should have caused a tidal wave of excitement within the gaming community.

Xbox and Kojima Productions' OD will be an episodic horror anthology series, and KNOCK is the subtitle for the part directed by Hideo Kojima.
Why couldn't we have just had a straight forward Kojima horror game...like you know, a full P.T like game, Silent Hills but made into a new IP.
