The new Death Stranding 2 trailer just dropped...
- Thread starter Kamako
- Start date
Looks great - love the art design - I really liked the first game, super oddly addicting wilderness logistics sim that it was.
Personally I have a lot of conceptual issues with "cinematic gaming", but Kojima Productions are one of like two dev studios that actually use that concept to make ambitious videogames and not just yet another generic linear action experience with a cinematic sheen.

The things Kojima can do if you give him all the creative freedom.
The facial capture is some of the best I've ever seen. The environments also. I hope the story beats are little more focussed this time around. I enjoyed the story in the first game, but the narrative was pretty back-loaded. Thankfully the gameplay loop was alot of fun, very meditative. I hope void-outs can occur over more of the map and there are less blatant in-game sponsors, though I have a feeling Kojima's probably gonna double-down on them instead.
The second Strand Type game. Amazing

The PC port will be accounced after 1 year or so. The same thing happened with the first game's PC port.
If Sony were smart they wouldn't release the game on PC at all since this game is going to be the PS5's system seller, but they're stupid motherfuckers so i doubt they bought exclusivity for more than a year.

Death Stranding is one of the most unexpected and powerful gaming experiences I've ever had which shows that AAA gaming can be incredible when done right, that open worlds can feel so unique and amazing when the right person is behind the wheel.
When the first Death Stranding was originally announced I dismissed it as pretentious crap and it wouldn't be until after the game came out when a guy locally was selling it for 20 bucks even tho it was still new, so I bought it figured what do I have to lose.
I was in awe.
Death Stranding is also one of the rare games I've played that does something unique in how it evokes emotions in the player and how those emotions evolve over time and affect how we perceive and experience the game's world and characters the other two games that come to mind for me are Terranigma and Dragon Quest V.
In Terranigma the way the developers create the atmosphere of a dead, desolate world waking up and then developing in front of your eyes is something I've never experienced quite the same way in other games. That sense of loneliness, isolation, being alone in an empty world as it slowly wakes up is so spectacularly captured in Terranigma.
Dragon Quest V and the way it portrays the passage and weight of time is the other game that, to me, does something strikingly unique, the game takes you from the MC's childhood all the way to the when he has his own kids and those kids play a huge role in the story too. There are so many different periods in the game that by the end it truly feels like a lifetime has passed.
So what did Death Stranding do?
It made me care about what I initially for more than half of the game perceived as just a tool. Without realizing it, you develop a bond with the ghost detecting baby, for I'd say half or more than half of the game it was just an annoyance to me, a tool that I used to keep myself safe from all the ghosts and shit. But by the end I grew to care about the kid and during that one final mission I genuinely was stressed out about how things would turn out and so on.
The way the game developed what was to me originally a creepy and often annoying tool into a fully fledged character without me realizing it actively does that for me as a player was incredible.

I love kojimbo!
Never played Death Stranding, but I know it's good, because alot of losers are complaining about it, so that means it's good.

It was directed at the thread title
Don’t worry my jokes aren’t usually this bad
They’re usually worse
Ah alright, I already forgot about the thread title tbh, I'm severely sleep deprived.
