Although he has said that the company’s next project will be horror-focused, it is also entirely possible Kojima will change track and create an entirely new game. After all, his previous title, Death Stranding , was just that. After spending so many decades working on the Metal Gear series, maybe what Kojima wants to do is create some new IPs for a wh
Based off of Arthur’s description of the events, it’s clear that the murder-robbery had taken a deep mental toll on him which could partially explain why he eventually wanted to convince John Marston so badly to run away with his wife and son before their lifestyle finally caught up with them. He felt that John still had a chance to become a decent father, so he helped him out. Arthur was able to come to this decision much quicker after he realized how crazy Dutch had bec
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ and _ Death Stranding _ may be similar in the fact that both games have a few characters which act as father, or mother, figures for the protagonist but they differ greatly in the theme’s execution. Basically, both games are about dads to some deg
Of course, that kind of discourse from a game developer should be taken with a grain of salt, even from an auteur-like figure such as Hideo Kojima. More importantly, deathstranding2World.Com it means that Kojima Productions is committed to continuing/expanding the Death Stranding IP further. Rather than potentially working on a new or different IP like the Silent Hill rumor from a few weeks ago, Kojima Productions’ next project may be an entry in or surrounding Death Stranding . Either that, or it’s another “strand” type game that’s similar conceptually, but could be closer to a Metal Gear -style g
On July 14, Hideo Kojima’s latest creative venture, Death Stranding , finally releases on PC . Like other PC players, I’ve waited since November to experience Death Stranding on PC, and now that I’ve had my hands on the game for about a week I’m happy to say that, so far, it was well worth the w
However, Kojima has set the record straight regarding the illustration. IGN recently spoke with him during an interview for a video about how Death Stranding predicted the future , and when the topic turned to his tweet, he explained that it doesn’t represent “major plans, but just fragments of new ide
That manifests in-game as the many community-fed systems of infrastructure around Death Stranding ‘s world . Players can contribute supplies to survival caches, containers, roads, paths, and other important exploration tools for getting through the game’s abstract, apocalyptic interpretation of the United States. Because the main premise of the game is re-connecting the isolated United States together after supernatural disaster, many of the gameplay concepts reflect that idea. Players are both encouraged and rewarded for placing objects in the world that aren’t necessarily imperative for themselves, but could save lives for others, at least conceptually speak
In the lead up to Hideo Kojima’s latest game, the game director had often mentioned what he believed was the start of a new subgenre. Affectionately dubbed a “strand” game, much of Death Stranding ‘s marketing was bolstered by what Kojima believed was an innovative new concept for games. Obviously, stating that a game is starting a new genre before it’s even released is short-sighted, something Kojima addressed by immediately doubling down. Kojima had essentially stated that the full potential of an “action strand game” genre would not be met without a few sequels to present the scope of his new subgenre of video ga
Whether directly or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 ** and Death Stranding** both deal with the theme of fatherhood in a major way. The settings of the two games are quite different from each other, with the former taking place in the American old west while the latter is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi game, but the main characters in both stories deal with fatherhood or father figures throughout the entirety of the games. The theme of fatherhood is also especially significant in the predecessor to _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ and and other Kojima games before _ Death Strandin
In the end, there may be some gamers who aren’t interested or already have the games on sale in the PlayStation Store. Those users shouldn’t worry, because there will be a new rotation of deals and savings that starts in a few days on January
I’ve obviously never played the PS4 version of Death Stranding , and I’m sure that I’m far from completing its 40-hour campaign, but nothing I’ve experienced so far stops me from claiming that PC is now the definitive place to play Death Stranding . The game is visually stunning, controls well, and runs immaculately; so far I’d say it was well worth the seven month wait. However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo
