>Norman Reedus: "The concept is so far out into the future. Instead of eliminating everyone around you, it’s bringing everyone together. It’s a very positive video game, but scary and depressing at the same time."
source: metro.co.uk
with this quote and all the talk about it being vaguely multiplayer, anyone else getting the vibe that the baby is YOU
as in, the baby someone else carries when playing grows super fast to become your player character, or something like that
Norman Reedus is very much into weird shit. Silent Hills was gonna be spooky and weird, and he got on board. Death Stranding follows in the same footsteps except it isn't explicitly a horror game. This means that it must have SOMETHING going for it.
What I mean by this is that Reedus himself is what has kept me positive about the game. He likes artsy weird shit, meaning that he believed in it so much he applied to have his face used TWICE on two separate projects under very different conditions. Whatever Kojima wants to do is something that really sold it for him. He could've easily said no and stayed quiet with his guaranteed Walking Dead paychecks.
would there be a option to throw the baby away so players would stop playing ?
i'd imagine if something happens to the baby (ie, your player character) while on another player's watch, there'd be adverse effects on your gameplay on that life
What's the twitch stream about?
So I suppose Mads and the Skeletor are gonna steal the other babies?
What if the player himself can also steal other players?
There is only one baby in the entire game, Kojambo said so.
i think it'll be the new 8 minute trailer, which'll presumably have some gameplay
Can't wait to watch this movie.
Hope they don't play us like a damn fiddle
Preordering right the fuck now and no one can stop me
cant wait for this game to come out and be a snorefest lol
Sonyfags btfo
Pre-order page accidental went up for a minute shit coming this year yall
>Pre-order bonus ruins the game aestetics
Every time
>carrying remnants of the future
>in the present
uhh...
Death Stranding is about multiverses and time travel, we already know that
WHOAH! Demon's Souls esque CO-OP?! MIND BLOWN!
How long is Kojima gonna keep stroking his ego until we see gameplay that shows more than just Norman Reedus walking on an empty landscape?
Around 24 hours
but it will have walking AND music
What twitch stream? Did i miss something?
How many more hours to go? It’s already 29 in America.
>preprder bonus literally turns you into le never ever face
Jej
How do Kojima fans cope with knowing that this game is going to fucking suck?
So this confirms we're getting a release date right
>game doesn't even have a release date
>all we've seen so far is little and we actually don't know how the game will be, if it's going to be good or bad
"KOJIMA FANS HAVE TO COPE THAT THE GAME IS GOING TO BE SHIT"
Fuck, i really thought that after DOOM launched people would stop with this shit
>everyone thought that DOOM was going to be shit
>turned out pretty fucking good
>everyone thought that Bioshock Infinite was going to be good
>turned out shit
Wait until the game releases you cunt
A twitch stream went up today(tuesday) but it was just a countdown, the actual trailer/info wont be until tomorrow
What are people even saying so far? It's hard to judge a most likely 40+ hour game from a handful of chopped up context-less cutscenes and like one walking segment
What time?
I'm going to enjoy these moments. Because once this shitty game releases we will just as quickly wish it forgotten just like his last game.
MGSV is very far from forgotten since we have multiple threads about it daily
No thread about it now.
But maybe we should take a moment to remember what a shitty writer Kojima is and wonder if he is mentally retarded.
To be honest? People are just speculating and discussing what can be
Give two people a piece of paper with a drawning of a dick on it, and they can argue of what the fuck it means for half an hour if they wanna
If people want to speculate about what the game can be and just be happy imagining all these wild stuff, good for them
And liking it or not, it's the way that Kojima works, he likes to keep a lot of stuff a mistery, and people like to unravel misteries
Why they fuck i feel the game is not ready yet and will not have much content? kojima you better not fuck up again
Have you played many games? I'm not going to say that Kojiima is the best writer ever and such, but he's better than average
Look at how many shitty games with shitty stories there are, there are so many games with character that you just don't care about and stories that are just shit
And you got to give credit to him for not being just the writer, but the director of the game
Look at MGS:V, the story has a lot of shit moments and it's his worst work so far, but at least the gameplay is satisfying and he wrote some compelling scenes
You need to remember that Kojima is not just a writer
I was thinking the same thing, then i searched and realized that this game is being made for almost 4 years
Let's say that the release date is February of 2020, sound like a reasonable launch date and makes sense for the pre-order site being launched, seeing that the pre-order for GoW and Spider-Man where up a year before the launch of their games
>he's better than average
He's worse than your average video game writer, for sure.
>Look at how many shitty games with shitty stories there are
And imagine how few of them are as terrible as "rectal parasites"
>but the director of the game
How about no? Give credit to the people who actually make the games good, his programmers. Kojima is a terrible director, he's the guy who made the creative decision to have on-rails zombie sections and a stalker segment in the MGS with the best gameplay. What a fucking idiot.
>at least the gameplay is satisfying
And once again the hack Kojima squandered his teams talent and effort with his absolutely terrible creative decisions, causing a game to be released that wasn't even as enjoyable for a single second as its own 30 dollar demo.
>You need to remember that Kojima is not just a writer
I wouldn't call him a writer at all, given how bad he is at it. I could make fingerpaintings but that doesn't make me a painter, same thing.
They showed off MGSV a ton pre-launch, and the game didn't have much content.
It's still up now if you check out PlayStation's twitch. It's going to stay live until the trailer appears just like they did with Cyberpunk and Fallout 76.
>He's worse than your average video game writer, for sure.
Again, i'm not sure, there is a lot of shit games with shit stories
>And imagine how few of them are as terrible as "rectal parasites"
Rectal parasites? What are you talking about?
If you're talking about "Rectal parasites are stupid", they do exist in real life, and can fuck you up
>but the director of the game
I'm not taking credit from other people who made the game, no one is, we're not talking about Kojima Productions here, we are talking about Hideo Kojima, who also respects his co-workers a lot, and after he left Konami, brought a lot of them to his studio
I'm not saying that "THE GAME IS GOOD 'CAUSE KOJIMA", but he is the director, he is the people who coordinate the game and all
You can have the best people in the bussiness, but with a shit director, you can get just a piece of shit
Just look all the examples we have on midia, fuck, look at Star Citizen
>And once again the hack Kojima squandered his teams talent and effort with his absolutely terrible creative decisions, causing a game to be released that wasn't even as enjoyable for a single second as its own 30 dollar demo.
So you are saying that Kojima being a bad director impacted the result of the game and how his team worked? Basically saying that the job of a director is important? Good
>I wouldn't call him a writer at all, given how bad he is at it. I could make fingerpaintings but that doesn't make me a painter, same thing.
I mean, he did write or at least co-write lot of games that had a massive appeal for the writing of it, i totally agree with you if you think that he's a shit writer for making things over-complicated of just nonsense, and as i said, i agree with you, he has a lot of errors on the way he writes, but pushing aside all of his work and not even saying that he is a writer at all seems a bit too much
I hate Uwe Boll, but i'm not going to say that he's not a director
And to be honest, you might just be writing all of this to piss off Kojima fans, or doing whatever, or really just want to give your opinions of it
But i'm having fun discussing about it online, cheers
Not to mention he was location scouting in Greenland and Normandy 5 years ago.
Fuck, time flies
>Norman Reedus: "The concept is so far out into the future. Instead of eliminating everyone around you, it’s bringing everyone together. It’s a very positive video game, but scary and depressing at the same time."
This sounds like a boomer talking about vidya after he took a peak at the game for five minutes.
>there is a lot of shit games with shit stories
Give me one you think is worse than V and I will tell you why you are wrong.
>Rectal parasites? What are you talking about?
The entire character arc of Joosten.
>I'm not taking credit from other people who made the game, no one is, we're not talking about Kojima Productions here, we are talking about Hideo Kojima,
The worst part about Kojima Productions
>You can have the best people in the bussiness, but with a shit director, you can get just a piece of shit
Haha, well, MGSV and 4 are a testament to that!
>Basically saying that the job of a director is important? Good
Yes, if MGSV had a competent director it would have been a better game.
He doesn't play vidya
>Give me one you think is worse than V and I will tell you why you are wrong.
Fallout 4, V may have problems, but at least tries to do something
Fallout 4 is nothing, there is no characters, almost no plot, nothing has feel to it, it's the blandest thing ever, not even the main character of that game anything resembling a story
Or whatever, here's a game with shit story, Ride to Hell: Retribution, done
>The entire character arc of Joosten.
Fair enough, there's not much to argue
>The worst part about Kojima Productions
Might be the worst part, but it is just a part of it, not the whole thing, there's still lot of competent people on the team who can make something good
Fuck the whole game might be shit, be the soundtrack might be good
>Haha, well, MGSV and 4 are a testament to that!
Yeah, it happens, point being is, being a Director of the game is a big part and it manages the creation of the game, that's it really
>Yes, if MGSV had a competent director it would have been a better game.
Now, that is something that we can't be sure really
What if Hideo Kojima didn't made MGSV, that some other dude did it under the wing of Konami, that's it really, what if, we can't be sure
Trying to imagine how thing might have been it's not something ... how can i say it, productive? Worth it?
It happen already and we got what we got, it might have been worse or better, we will never know, and we just gotta accept that
The problem with MGSV wasn't just the direction (Who i gotta admit, Kojima wasn't great on it, the game got too expensive and was going on a downhill fast), there were a lot of problems, ambition might have been one of them, we will never know
But yeah, let's wait until Death Stranding launches and see if Kojima got better, if he learned from his mistakes and if the game is good
I give him credit for doing something different, and on a market that everything tries to copy each other to make profit or to get views on Twitch, i think it's good
but are there boss battles?
isnt this the metal gear guy?
the guy who creates weird japanese sitcoms that run on your console
do you have your popcorn, recliner, and beer?
have you considered that maybe you should leave this hobby and never come back?
Redus had me until he said "video game".
I think he might be a bit lost on that remark.
And if you really just want the game to be bad to well, give shit to Kojima fans or whatever, then just don't
I got tired long ago of just wishing the worst to retard people on the internet
Hell, if the game launches and it's good, i'm happy 'cause it will teach publishers that taking risks on new ideas can be something good
And if it does poorly, it will be the end of Kojima and done
Just let people have their fun, the world is shit, and if licking the boots of a japanese dude will make his day better, then be it
And if shitting on a japanese dude will make another guys day better, then be it
we've seen Troy Baker's big tar lion demon, so there'll definitely be something at the very least similar to bosses
Wow, I am so impressed by Kojima. I really love nothing but constant ambiguity. So deep...
>Fallout 4, V may have problems, but at least tries to do something
No way. Bethesda is bad writers but to say that Fallout 4 has a worse story is MGSV is just lying. I fucking wish MGSV had no plot, that'd be better than what we got.
> Ride to Hell: Retribution
Wrong.
>there's still lot of competent people on the team who can make something good
He has some of the most talented gameplay designers in the industry, squandered by being paired under a clown who can't into level design.
>It happen already and we got what we got, it might have been worse or better, we will never know, and we just gotta accept that
Yeah, I do, and I accept that MGS4 was shit also and while actively retconning MGS2 to be worse it also made an active mockery of his fans.
> if he learned from his mistakes and if the game is good
At best, he doesn't have an excuse for actively insulting his audience like he has been.
The story in Ride to Hell Retribution is coherent, there's a revenge story at play, and it ends in catharsis.
Its problem is mostly that it is a shit game, not that its writing is particularly terrible. Or Kojima bad.
Why is Kojimbo trying the global cooperation stuff after it failed at MGSV?
I said Ride to Hell really for the joke, the story might have a revenge story at play, but it is told in a bad way
But legit props to you for actually making me remember the story of the game and going after the story to say something
And desu, that's it really
You hate Hideo Kojima games, and i think that they are good games, not great, but they are good
We won't reach anything with this
Good luck to you dude, you might hate the game, but you seem to have fun talking about it
Have fun when the trailer launches! There is going to be shit ton of threads about it, there always is
>show one trailer of MGSV in 2012
>literally the entire fandom guesses the ending 3-4 years in advance
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK
Hopefully it's something unique and different
>You hate Hideo Kojima games
I really enjoyed them up until he revealed himself for what he really is. He was spiteful toward the audience that made him because he incessantly caved to repeatedly making MGS games that he didn't really want to do, and never had to. So what does he do? Insults his audience by giving them what he did.
MGS4 was the point I realized there was no coming back, he completely insulted his fanbase and a majority of it praised him for it.
Now this is his chance, to show the world why he didnt want to make MGS games, to make the movie game he always dreamed about.
And its going to be shit.
What did he mean by this? twitter.com
that social media has further rotted his brain
>Give me one you think is worse than V and I will tell you why you are wrong.
red dead redemption 2
Nothing you faggots could do will stop me from preordering this because I've been playing MGS games since PS1 when I was 10 years old. Kojima could walk up to me in the street and ask me for $60 and I'd give it to him no questions asked. That's right: I would fund Kojima's drug habit just because he's Kojima. Take whatever you need to away from this insight.
I think it's a bit much to still hold mgs over his head. He showed he could do horror right with pt, so this game could be too. I do have a feeling that the game could be underwhelming, but I doubt it's gonna be as bad 4 or 5.
>accidentaly
the new way of advertisement
There's not much to take away from.
at what time exactly are they gonna do the reveal?
Xbox sucks dick again
Well Yea when you so badly want to hate something, you'll fucking hate it. You miserable human. I don't even care for this game and I still want you to know how retarded you sound.
While RDR2 is shit for being white-guilt on the oregon trail simulator, it is not worse writing than V. For 1, it tells a full story, with a beginning, middle and end. For 2, there are no completely unnecessary threads in the story like Quiet. For 3, the villains are by no means worse than the Skullface jeep scene.
The one thing I'll give Kojima credit on is not writing AS MUCH as he did in previous games. But again, Rockstar excels at this where Kojima falls short. Even in Kojima's games that were less shitty, he can't write a coherent story without making it convoluted with his retard babble. Rockstar does put a LOT of writing in their games to flesh out NPCs you wander by.
Have you played Boktai or Zone of the Enders? Those games are so badly written it's fucking embarrassing. And as for the MGS series, I often feel like it's been ghost written by a child. The over-relience on techno jargon and military acronyms that Kojima just obviously googled five minutes ago is pathetic.
There's no reason to like it as of now
See you at E3.
>Have you played Boktai or Zone of the Enders?
Neither of them were written by Kojima.
Not only that it confirms a 2019 release
>Epic Games Store exclusive
What you know is that Kojima is a hack and literally stole that idea from a million movies and TV shows that use that same shitty explanation to explain worm holes
sounds exactly like the kind of pseudobabble i've come to expect from hackjimbo
>Kojima saves humanity
More like it's a professional actor bullshitting his way through an interview. Watch the behind-the-scenes bullshit people make. Actors have to master the art of speaking in paragraphs while saying absolutely fucking nothing of value.
Not an argument, all works of fiction in the modern era are derivative in some way.
Put his name on them
Kojima production
He thinks that shit is cool
>equip shades
Look at this shit. How come we can't ever invade a cool dimension, with like chicks in bikinis, you know? How come dimensions like that don't ever need Bridges? I'll tell you why. It's lack of pussy that fucks dimensions up. Lack of pussy is the root fucking cause of all dimensional instability. If more eldritch gods were getting quality pussy, there'd be no reason for us to come over here and fuck 'em up like this! Cause a nut-bustin' eldritch god is a happy eldritch god.
>kojima hasn't made a good game in years
why should i care?
heh
>Kojima was caramel the entire time
Oh shit bros
