News Death Stranding Release Date Reveal Trailer | Nov 8th
- Thread starter zonk
- Start date
I wonder if this is still coming to PC.
Honestly, the gameplay footage doesn't inspire any confidence. I'm happy for Troy Baker though, having a name in the opening credits in a game with such a star studded cast.
I still get this weird feeling the game isn't ready. By any modern AAA development timeline, it has taken a lightning fast time to develop (thanks Guerilla 
) and I'm afraid it might have unpleasant consequences. There's also the cheesiness/overacting of the cinematics that I really don't dig.
I guess it's not for me. Something about MGS always was compelling with Kojima's signature espionage/campiness. Here, it's not working.
That being said, as always I'm in awe at the systemic gameplay layers and their presentation. A lot of it has already been done and seen in MGS5 but the ladder, climbing and other tools are really amazing to see at work. I can't imagine the difficulty to implement.

"Heres a trailer and all it really shows is that we can make our in game models look like their VA" hasn't really cut it for me since LA Noire tbh
I'm still afraid it's going to be sort of a quasi MMO with those wide open spaces. Something akin to Dark Souls with invasions all the way to something like Guild Wars. That's not what I want.
Hard to imagine them building a single player focused game with such open space AND talking about connecting communities as a base story concept.

I cant help but think how much better this would look on modern hardware. The section showing combat had a pretty noticeable framedrops and tons of motion blur.
Looks about as crazy as later MGS games.
Also like it holds much of the gameplay principles.
Also like people will reach to find all kinds of irl konami/mgs shenanigan parallels and metaphors.
Hope it's better than MGSV and Sony's aid doesn't forbid a PC release later on.
Funny people elsewhere thought it'd just be a walking sim, it was pretty obvious where its inspirations come from even before they showed combat.

Yup, also really stuttery.
Like everything else, from looks and story and crazyness to be honest, which surprised me.
I'll be honest, as a game, it doesn't look all that interesting. It's like Kojima wants to make the most expensive and heavily interactive visual novels ever based on the trailers
Nope, it's crystal clear now. The Death Stranding IP is owned by Sony. It's at the end of the trailer.
I don't doubt he'd like to make more games like Snatcher but surely publishers wouldn't tolerate that, as ideal as that would be for all involved.
Yeah me too. Having played Snatcher and Policenauts for the first time just recently, I am looking forward to Unshackled-from-Konami Kojima.
Some people were blown away by this trailer but I'm not seeing it. Gameplay looks.... eh? And the story gets less interesting the more they reveal it. Was better when my imagination was running wild.
I'm still interested but... hype is low.

HK: For the next scene, I'll have to tie you, Mads-kun
MM: Why?

Kojima loves Mads almost as much as David Cage loves Ellen Page
At least the Kojima ship is consensual and reprocicated
that entirely depends on how detailed Mads's in-game model is
I thought this was a joke post

nope ... Kojimbles has a MAJOR boner for Mads
it's been known for years nowMads is a fucking beautiful man, I hope he is life like
I'm going to have to third this. Doesn't help that the only game I've enjoyed from Kojima was ZOE2. Now that was a fun game to play.
Yeah, the trailer did nothing for me. It is just a mix of weird Kojima shit.
Its like..wow you can put a ladder. How unusual...

It's not a technically easy thing to do when you think about how it has to work, be stable and not break the game. I get why it might not look incredible but they have it as a general gameplay system that seem like it can be applied anywhere. It means physics situations that are bound to be complicated. They have to ensure it is climbable, that it stabilizes in good conditions, etc. It's a lot harder than, say, a grappling hook. Then there's the animation of the character climbing on it at inevitably different angles.
It's not the hardest problem in the world but it's still pretty impressive to me.
Oh for sure. I'm not discounting the hard work that is behind that, but at least for me, the ladder or Link's hookshot are the same thing for me from a mechanical viewpoint. Nothing special, IMO.
My biggest problem with the trailer is that everything in the gameplay segment is slow or takes a lot of time to complete. Also looks like the control is taken away from the player too often.
Ehhh a lot of assumptions told as facts. Had to disagree with a lot of things, or know even myself out of practice.
So, is it as impressive as he wrote, or not quite? I have my doubts as well because he works in a studio with close ties to Sony.
My problem is everything that isn't just walking around looks like it turns into AAA Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Antonio Fucito: "Death Stranding is a PS4 timed exclusive, will come to PC at a later date"
Antonio Fucito leaked Death Stranding release date before the trailer with this tweet: During a twitch stream he said the following regarding Death Stranding exclusivity: "..The PS4 cover didn't have the "Only on PS" label because DS it's coming to PC at a later date, that's the deal signed...

I doubt it. Kojima has visited Valve several times and a major japanese dev going to EGS would be surprising.
I think it's up to Sony, and it seems they have some kind of deal with Epic. Unless I'm mistaken, DS is their IP and they most likely have the final say.
