Death Stranding

They're trying to sell the actors and Kojima. Artist is taking a step back this time around.

oh shut the hell up, you absolute fucking moron.
you have zero idea what you're talking about.
Yoji Shinkwawa is the art director. Do you even understand the amount of preproduction that goes into a game like this?

And yet still looks like bland shit

I'll be excited when we have proof that its an actual fucking game.

>multiplayer
We're getting Dark Souls 2.0 by the sound of it.
I really hope it's something better than Dark Souls messages.

lore looks interresting
but the gameplay and the animation is trash.

>Piece of gameplay footage showing off terrain traversing using tools
>Piece of gameplay footage showing you're to hide from enemies, being caught means either running or turning around and fistfighting enemies, also driving your own bike/hijacking someone else's (that wasn't too clear)
>Piece of gameplay footage showing that you use at least one gun and combat Mads' ressurected skellybuddies
>Piece of gameplay footage showing the MC running from some big black goo boss

is it even a fucing game or is it like a fuckekingg visiuaall novel whats the fuck is dis gayyyy shit i bet it snt a game its jus a meme only a meme fuck off its just a meme game faggs theres zero0 proof of anyy kind of gameeplay what a mememee

Why is a fucking director a voice actor in this game?

Absolutely.

Have sex

better gameplay and story in heavy rain

Because Del Taco loves video games and is a good friend of Kojima.

I don't get excited for games anymore I've been burned too many times.

I am curious though hope it's not shit like mgsv.

For you to have sex

Gotta say, I partially agree with you. With the way Kojima hyped this game you'd expected it would be a very different take on the action genre, perhaps with a mechanic no one tried before or that went awry before, but honestly it just looks like fight dudes in post-apocalyptic USA until it starts raining then go into spooky stealth mode. I expected more.

you mean a game where a giant media and entertainment conglomerate abuses and drains the populace AND the entire planet for personal gain, while everyone including the president and the CEO (the person who made bridges what it is) are forced to participate and orchestrate it, as the board of directors control their livelihood and could ruin them at any moment for not towing the line?

then when they destroy the world, they lie about the cause and offer themselves as the true solution to repair and reconnection? all so they can abuse what little is left? everyone involved knows where it's headed, they want out, but they can't.

I actually like walking simulators.

also if you'd paid attention you'd notice that the game has a crafting system.

Kojima on his own doesn't make good stories. What a weird coincidence that when Tomokazu Fukushima left the MGS games the writing went down the toilet. Kojima is the George Lucas of game stories, he's good at setting up a world with style and themes but he's shit at making a good story and good characters.

opinions should be written as such my newfriend.

does anyone have a higher res version of OP's pic?

notice how everyone talks about the celebrities and the story rather than the gameplay itself. really makes you fucking think

History will never know what he did. No one will ever learn the truth. His story, his debriefing, will endure only in your heart. Everything he did he did for his country. He sacrificed his life and his honor for his native land. He was a real hero. He was a true patriot.

Attached: Snake_Eater.jpg (600x696, 82K)

Because that's all they've fucking shown, really. We've gotten very short snippets of a few gameplay scenarios, but we don't really know how any given scenario works or how they connect, so it's hard to know what the player will spend most of his time doing or how he can do it. There's an open world, there are some ghosts, and there are (at least occasionally) guys with guns. That's about all we know. The fact the game releases in a handful of months and yet this is all we know isn't comforting, though.

look how well days gone sold. snoy is going to advertise death stranding at least that hard and it is going to sell at least that well. last of us 2 is going to do the same thing a few months later. 3rd person walking simulators are the safest genre to dump money in. normies can not help themselves.

The gameplay will be mediocre shit at best, but the artsy fartsy journos will throw high scores like candy because of "muh deep cinematic experience"

Taco and Refn aren't voicing themselves

>2015
>Kiefer Sutherland replaces David Hayter as Snake
>People thought it was a big ruse
>It wasn't, instead Kojima just wanted a celeb in his game
>2016
>Kojima unveils a new IP but instead of showing gameplay, he sells the game on his own star power and the star power of the famous people he has hired
What is this guy even doing?

It's simple how to fix this game.

My idea for Death Stranding would make it more creative, not less. All Kojima needs to do is:

-axe the realism art style for cel shaded or maybe something like metal gear rising or bayonetta
-make the combat more of a focus, and make it play like a mix of Metal Gear Rising and Vanquish with on the fly weapon switching and tons of combo potential
- make the women hot with huge tits and real skimpy outfits, like making that "Fragile" wear a cute maid outfit instead of that retarded leather army shit
- change the male character designs to be more attractive like bishonen, remove mads and that ugly norman reedus for fuck sakes, just let them do the voices
-make the setting look way more surreal than it is right now, instead of wastelands have different themed areas, like a carnival themed zone, an ice zone, a water zone, a casino zone, like sonic games or maplestory or something
- soundtrack like metal gear rising

The game would be amazing if Kojima did that.

They're humans dipshit.

We can gather that you're delivering cargo, and trying to stay out of he path of invisible ghost things with a fetus radar. Those yellow guys called Mules can track your cargo and come after it. There are clearly weapons so fighting is an option but it looks like a last resort so far. He was wandering through a warzone at one point. Then there's this clip that looks like a boss battle intro and suggests a lot about what we haven't been shown.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ln4ej0h6MAw

This image clearly suggests we'll be heavily armored/powered later on. You can see Norman Reedus' eyes inside the helmet, and the lyrics to the song used in the first Death Stranding trailer. Those enemies in the last trailer even had energized spears similar to what Sam was holding on the moon in the Homo Ludens video.

the art for this game sucks and looks like tryhard edgy shit. Metal Gear Rising had better art, the designs had soul.

I don't understand people who say they're confused or don't understand what the gameplay is. Theres enough information to make educated guess, and its in the footsteps of Kojima's last two cancelled projects, MGSV and P.T.

They're whales. The floating spirits are attached to them by their umbilical cords.

"wandering through a warzone
the warzone was Hades, the 'other side' they mentioned when he plugs in the BB. Teaser trailer 1 from the VGAs with del toro has him in hades. So far it seems like getting trapped in the goop causes a "voidout". The homo deimos bring about voidouts by causing a ruckus and attracting/directly controlling in the case of higgs, the BTs to cause havoc. When the BTs capture a human, it sends them to hades where presumably they need to fight their way back, and when they return via BB (somehow they play into it, maybe a literal respawn) the area is turned into a crater.

Oh and based on trailer 2 we know that dead humans aren't enough for the BTs to power whatever it is they do that causes the explosion, and the BBs are imperative to the voidout not killing the human should they be captured.

It looks like just being eaten by the BT causes a void out, destroying the area. It happens as soon as pic related consumed that guy, and in that webm a few posts up,as soon as the thing eats Sam it triggers an explosion.

Attached: beached dad.jpg (1920x1090, 99K)

Yeah, that's what I mean, cause when you get trapped in you get dragged away to a nearby "major" bt, whatever their official title may be. Like the big fucker in your pic, or the whale in the newest trailer. Both sam and the guy in trailer 2 started getting dragged away as soon as they were in the goop because it slowed them down so much. Presumably it's oil from timefall, but who can say for sure.

hm now that isee the pic i got a question for you lads: why didn't the black goo/BT's attack Sam in this scene? i mean while the guy was trying to kill himself, Sam only stood a few feet away from him without any harm altho he was injured and the 'handprint monster' really did sense him or at least was aware of his presence only to be distracted by the screaming little fag under the bus.
are we supposed to believe the BT's are that stupid and only react to most recent impulses?

i think Mads 'stranded' in Hades and can't come back or even chose to remain there on his own free will. Sam will propably fight him multiple times there or at least encounter him

Attached: mads.png (864x1230, 1.09M)

Good point, that seems likely to be the reason for the fetus being able to detect BTs.

Yeah it seemed like Sam was trying to sneak through his personal war zone.The parts where he was somewhere hot enough for the air to light his cigarette, and the part where he emerged from the goo made it seem like he may be able to cross back and forth.

snatchers are from snatcher and are just terminators

is that not Psycho Mantis back there?

Kojima is actually doing something clever; he's not appealing to Yea Forumsirgins by using star power, he's trying to break into Yea Forums. He's giving treats to the pedantic movie critics that would never touch a videogame and trying to rope them in.
The man is fighting to expand the whole genre of media. The latest trailer with the reveal of Nicolas Winding Refn has gotten quite a few eyeballs on the game.

I'm pretty sure that's what he means, yeah. I interpret what he's saying as "Sam is Norman Reedus, Norman Reedus is Sam, and so a female Sam would need to be a female Norman Reedus and so that's not gonna happen".

Right Leftman is obviously a bad guy, if not THE bad guy. Good guys don't look like that, and Kojima is totally the type to bank on people thinking "it's too obvious, he couldn't possibly be evil, Kojima is too smart to do that".
