Firstly, it’s important to hone in on Kojima’s comments about the next big videogame genre, the “strand” type of game . In a way, Kojima had stayed true to his word in creating a game that, at first, seemed genre-less or at bare minimum tough to distinguish. One of the biggest and most important questions prior to Death Stranding ‘s gameplay reveal was: What is Death Stranding ? Some had asked in jest, others were genuinely curious of Death Stranding . According to Hideo Kojima, a “strand game” involves the usage of social systems to emphasize and incorporate “the concept of connections” between all players, otherwise known as “stran
So, there’s a strange turning point that comes after reaching the first of Cliff Unger’s war beaches, where the player is suddenly given the ability to kill enemies with the introduction of lethal weapons. However, as Kojima Productions writes through the gameplay , the lack of ludonarrative dissonance means that the player is heavily punished for killing enemies, but is given almost no reward for doing so. It’s a positive in a storytelling sense, but leaves the player with all these weapon options that are really meaningless and could be explored further to give a stronger risk/reward factor for straight up mur
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, 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
If this is the case and Kojima Productions is looking at continuing Death Stranding 2 guide|Https://deathstranding2world.com/ Stranding into a series, then there are a few critiques and requests that the sequel may need to address. Similarly, there are some natural improvements that a sequel can make as both gaming technology improves with next-gen consoles and PC hardware, as well as the capabilities with in the game world evol
Headlining the PlayStation Store’s Spring Sale is Death Stranding, which is no doubt one of the most highly-anticipated games of 2019 . Death Stranding is currently available at the PlayStation Store for $29.99, which is 50% off its original list price of $59.99. It is worth mentioning that the game’s price is the lowest its ever been, which means this is the perfect opportunity to pick up the game for players who have been waiting to see a significant price decre
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
One aspect that draws players to continue through Death Stranding is the licensed music that periodically plays at different times during the game and can be found to play in the private room. Unfortunately, there is no way to take any of that music with the player as they go exploring the world, which admittedly does strengthen the crushing sense of isolation the game presents. However, with one of the best soundtracks of 2019 , it is strange that the game doesn’t have a way to listen to all of that music that Kojima Productions had to pay for to put into the title in the first pl
Since 2019 released so many titles, it makes sense for Sony to offer discounts even for recent releases going into the new decade. Many games on sale will have post-release and downloadable content in 2020, so player interest for those titles will increase as the year goes on and even older games will continue to see some retention in sa
Even with these best sellers at the top of the list, there are many more titles in the store to be discovered or remembered, at a fraction of the original cost. The ever-lasting Borderlands 3 is currently available for purchase at $38.99, a thirty-five percent discount on the original $59.99 price. Additionally, Red Dead Redemption 2 , which may also be coming to the Switch in the future , has a sixty-percent deal on its Ultimate Bundle, going for a mere $39.99 compared to the whopping $99.99 cost when not on sale. And underneath these titles, there are still over a thousand other on-sale games to be found in the Playstation St
Things have been quiet at Kojima Productions since the release of Death Stranding for PS4 and the subsequent launch by 505 games that brought the title to PC. This has some fans wondering if Kojima Productions is working on a Death Stranding sequel , either picking up directly after the ending of the original, or exploring the stories of other characters during the same t
