Pretty nice video. More evolutionary than revolutionary, but it looks polished and solid. I probably won't play it as I do not own a PS4, but I've been morbidly curious about this game, and overall it seems that Kojima will deliver a good product.

Death Stranding - 50-Minute TGS Gameplay Demonstration
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
Think it is relevant if its not even finished. Very relevant.
Anyway back OT, wonder what the extent of building structures etc is? And seen people say that highways can be built? Did Kojima say this on the stage?
Era had me convinced this would be a boring game, so it's nice to see some good reception over here. I'll wait for the reviews though, but I'm optimistic.
I'm confused, why would anyone expect the world to NOT be mostly empty?
Are yall just completely ignoring the entire setting of Death Stranding? I mean, the world has basically ended and is mostly in ruin, with rain that accelerates time killing off anything with a short life span within seconds and terrorists with the power to destroy entire cities, just to mention a couple of the crazy things going on in the world.

I've got to work.
I dont even know if this landscape IS procedurally generate, but I can't imagine a designer would come up with something so dull and lifeless on purpose.
Like I said, it reminds me of FF15s world. Huge but bare and lifeless feeling. Like a computer generated artwork.
My point was the landscape looks barren and boring. If you dont agree that's fine with me.
Looks really strange but interesting. I'm probably in day one, although mostly because I have high expectations for the story.
Lol
Lol
I still don't know what to think if it's for me but this gameplay did help me somewhat. It's rather unique and intriguing so it stands out. I just hope it's not a bore fest if it's too slow paced.
Some combat:
One thing that stood out during this was that the AI doesn't seem as good as what you'd expect from a Kojima game. The AI in the MGS games was pretty damn good, but it's not particularly impressive here.
Some combat:
As you can probably tell, his legs are moving in these clips, therefore it's clearly just a walking simulator. /s
The problem is that you seem to be completely ignoring the context of the world situation. It is all super tied into the story and such.
Not gonna watch these since I'm getting the game Day One anyway. I do have a lot of doubts and I'm getting a bit tired of the constant "GOAT" references (mainly because they take away from the actually-released work of other people) but I'm willing to give this a chance. Despite the thousands of strawmen that people have lined up for those who aren't 100% hyped for the game I'm actually interested in a more non-violent title that focuses on traversal.
Unless Kojima was legally obliged to make that setting and let it influence the game's design arguments that boil down to "the game justifies the game," will never work.

We've seen this before with many games. People overhype it to sin because of one bloke on the project only for it to never meet the loft expectations.
The combat looks standard. Punch, punch, kick. Shoot, shoot, shoot. There's no innovation or that special "something" in the way that the combat works. We've seen it before, and that is just the way it is.
A lot of animation and gameplay elements seem a little janky. For a game focused on "movie" like elements, it sure looks less fluid than many of 2019's titles.
Yes, the gameplay looks a little boring. There appears to be a lot of micromanagement. Whilst this is superb for some people, it isn't what a lot of people were hoping for.
I am not a person who enjoys shooty shooty bang bang games, so I do not come at this with a preconceived notion that the game "mUst Be ActIOn PaCkEd!" to be good, but I was expecting more than this.
It looks like an average game. No need to get upset over it. If you're excited, then honestly I really hope you enjoy the game. Personally, at this moment in time, I'm only in it for the story but even then it seems like it'll be one of those stories where it over promises and under delivers due to the sheer complexity of it all.
Please, enjoy the game!
I'm in the same boat really. The more I see of the game, the less excited I get. It's been an exercise of smoke and mirrors in a way. I was really hyped for all the obscure story based trailer stuff, but nothing of gameplay has me particularly excited. Kojima is a bugger for saying things like "I'll have to invent new words to describe my game because there is no genre invented for this yet"..then you see it and it's an open world action game.
Character animation looks slow and clunky, as has been mentioned. The world looks very empty too.
That said, I have always found Kojima somewhat over-rated. A great creator, yes. But not head and shoulders above others. MG5 was great mechanically, but the world often felt dead (as it looks here), the treatment/visualisation of Quiet was borderline creepy and the script was an abomination. He's doing strange things with female characters again in this game too (Mama and Fragile as character names? Really?! Might as well call them Dishwasher and Baby-maker).
I'm looking forward to it, but I'd take Sam Lake over Kojima from a personal point of view.
Most likely playing on very easy for the demo. Ever thought of that? lol
You also don't know what difficulty this is being played on. This could be the easiest mode for all you know which would explain the AI. It really isn't fair to be making judgements like that when you don't have the full story.
On the bottom of the PlayStation blog post:
"*Internet connection required for asynchronous multiplayer features. "
So still unclear regarding PS Plus
If you don't want to upset people, then don't call something average when it's clearly not. If you want something to call average, take it out on Anthem or something.
Got an actual argument there? Because I don't "know that," as you haven't even told me what "that" is.
I'm not upset, it's just hilarious to me how transparent you are. It's one thing to think a game looks average (I certainly think a bunch of otherwise praised Sony and Nintendo exclusives are average as fuck), it's a completely different thing to pre-emptively lament (whine about, even) the scores it might or might not get.
Yeah I noticed the blinking but you can tell Kojima added it in during the editing of the footage.
Land scape and setting is amazing .looks like a believable sci-fi movie setting
Also it was in the top 10 in the UK and other countries. Which is impressive considering that DS gameplay came out while most Europeans were asleep and gamers there have yet to see it. It's also trending in other countries outside of the EU
Etc etc
You know how it goes these days. Game is overhyped, it is scored extremely high by the media and then a couple of weeks later, the medicority of it is identified by the players.
For example, Super Mario Odyssey. It is hailed as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. Is it? Hell no. It's overrated and pales in comparison to most Mario games.
It's a common cycle with games. It's overhyped, people hail it as the second coming, it reviews well and lets people down in reality.
You cannot call something 'clearly not' average.
Me saying something looks average is subjective. You saying it is 'clearly not' is very much objective and, thus, incorrect.
User Banned (1 Day): Antagonizing other users
They shit posts in every DS thread, what do you expect?
The complaints of 'it looks empty' does not make any sense. The purpose of the game is to actually rebuild stuff in that landscape with other people online.
Its like saying you dont like mario maker before the levels gets build lol.

Some combat:
All that hi-tech gadgetry at his disposal, and yet the most satisfying form of attack is throwing a case at a dude's face.
I really want to like this, really, but Kojima seems to be doubling down on MGSV's weaker features (traversing barrren environments) while ignoring its strenghts in favor of survival elements, which to me is very disappointing.
I wish he and his studio would decide between making a gamey-ass open-world game or a purely narrative-driven experience. MGSV wasn't able to weave those design philosophies successfully, and nothing I've seen in the presentation suggests DS is going to fare much better.

I can't help but agree with this. I'm getting serious Phantom Pain pre-release vibes from all this, and I find it weird other people don't.
We can only judge what we see, and some people just don't trust strangers to carry the game for Kojima. Besides that, what are players supposed to build anyway? I see a lack of authored content in the open world, and players dropping new traversal methods and survival kits here and there isn't going to help with that.
