Death Stranding launches on November 8, 2019 (Release date trailer) [New Footage in Japanese Trailer]
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Like I said before, his vision needs be to spent on new IPs and not on sequelsLooks like Kojima had the idea in his head for a very long time...
Okay - if you like Kojima's stories, why agree he isn't a master of storytelling then?
Its clear what the gameplay is. Im actually surprised when someone asks "whats going on?" after all the trailers
The game isn't a stealth game and it is an action game but more of a survival game so most probably this isn't for you
It's because it doesn't fit what they would like. Which is fine. Every game isn't for every gamer.
While I do agree with you at the same time I don't regret all the time Kojima spent on MGS. At the end he gave me an unforgettable experience
Oh, could have sworn I heard "breached" instead of "beach".
Fits with the theme and imagery
Open world(s) traversal/survival game where traveling is the core gameplay loop. Depending on the gear/amount of cargo you bring it will alter how you can travel, where you can travel and how difficult your trip will be.
They've shown actual gameplay in multiple trailers. Just because there isn't shooting and combat at every moment doesn't mean they aren't showing off the mechanics and gameplay loops.
I don't need shooting in a game. I mean that could be interesting but who knows.
I never said you did, my point is they've shown a lot of gameplay if you don't think of gameplay as just the combat mechanics, because it very much looks like the core gameplay loop of this game will take place outside of combat
Yes. I suppose the problem is as its not a well known gameplay loop and what we have been shown means it's hard to tell if it's fun for an hour or 100
I hope it's good. We'll see when it launches I guess
We're still playing the "I don't even know what it is" angle?
Come on people, we have some info on how this plays at least. The only thing we don't really know for sure is what is going on in the narrative.
Well, I won't watch anything or read about the game and then come here and claim nothing is understandable and everything is confusing

I think this game and it's focus on non-combat mechanics really drives home how void of creativity mainstream gaming is and how complacent the industry at large has been with only using combat as the primary gameplay loop for seemingly every single major game release for the last 30 years.
there seems to be 3 "factions" in this game you fight
1. the BT's (The Death Stranding) which you can't harm
2. Homo Demons
3. Cliff's otherwordly soldiers
It's not that entirely different from MGS, which rewarded traversing around enemies with no kills; here the moving-around-environment part plays the central role. Perhaps a smarter way to utilize an open world map, maybe a gameplay aspect Kojima wanted to tackle after MGSV.
Won't eliminate the possibility of it since Kojima likes twisting stuff. I still believe Higgs and Cliff are the villains and using their connection to worlds to their advantage
Ok so who's the Ocelot of Death Stranding? We need a quintuple agent
Might be Cliff. He'll be the one playing on both sides the most I guess
Higgs seems a straightforward asshole
So nobody was interested in the post i made this morning about the game's setting, and something i noticed about the Homo Demens ? 😭
I must be on a lot of people's ignore list. 😞
Not by me. I've always been 2019.

Of course he is. He's the Mads. 😜
Correct.
Was there a higher quality version (non-youtube) of the trailer out?Requoted for greatness
No. And there won't be unfortunately. (Youtubes exclusive)
what I don't understand about people worried about lack of combat is that Kojima's games have never really been combat heavy
hell Metal Gear Solid, you can beat the game without killing an enemy (only bosses) and its still critically acclaimed

Have you seen cliff outside Hades - ignoring the intro and outro since those I believe happen before the events of death stranding. Higgs is a real threath in the real world, cliff in hades and I believe is trapped down there.
Has there been any speculations pertaining why there Au (Gold) is so prominently featured in the game?
It even shows up as Higg's eye brow tattoo (although it is shaped to look more like the symbol for Micro).
Look all them hands over America's ass.
Btw, this is a great find.

Original MGS1 has a bunch of scenes where you have to kill guards, like when you get in the Jeep, but yeah.
Edit: actually maybe you can KO the ones when you get the jeep, but you have to kill some down the tunnel. Been a long time since I did a Big Boss rank run.
it looks like on his eyebrow it says "OvAu"Has there been any speculations pertaining why there Au (Gold) is so prominently featured in the game?

also, it looks like Higgs has white hair
Not really true.
I can maybe see an argument for MGS 1 and 2, but with 3 and beyond the series was designed with heavy combat sequences in mind.
but i still believe you can beat even the later MGS without killing enemies (excluding bosses and forced on rails sections)
MGS2 - V yeah you can knock the enemies out as far as I remember, although most bosses end up dead either way.
The games can be quite forgiving as what counts as a kill, though; explode a barrel and anyone killed by it was just their bad luck.

Killing /=/ Combat
Sure, you don't have to kill, but you're still performing various forms of CQC, tranqing dudes with sleep darts, and using other forms of violent non-lethal gadgets to subdue enemies.
You're also typically encouraged to kill enemies on your first playthrough. The only game that encourages non-lethal action from the start is Peace Walker.
Egyptian mythology. Higgs character very much has many ties and references to the Egyptian God of Death, Anubis.Has there been any speculations pertaining why there Au (Gold) is so prominently featured in the game?

The gold and black hood being the most obvious one.
You know we been talking about who the main antagonist will be between Higgs and Cliff
does anyone think Die-Hardman will betray Sam...I feel like its a possibility but its really cliche it be repeating the whole "Big Boss betraying Foxhound" thing, hope it doesn't happen

Ah... of course, I completely forgot about that series of speculation pertaining his character (his attire colour scheme etc) which led to that conclusion. So it does make much more sense now.
However, in the JP trailer there is a segment where the small foliage is being transformed in solid gold structures. I wonder if is tied to Higgs or Hades.
Except game of Thrones is free a game is 60 and unreturnable
I'm going to repost this. *shrug*
----------------------------
Has this been discussed before ? If so, than i apologise.
did you beautiful people noticed the Bridges logo is on the floor of the oval office, and not the presidential seal.
*Screenshot courtesy of Gamersyde.
This is what i think the backstory setting is. (and i know it's blindingly obvious. So again, i apologise for wasting everyone's time)
After the country fell apart, the people who were left, created Bridges. In the vacuum of there no longer being a cohesive government.
Bridges purpose is to re-open lines of communication across the country (metaphorical bridges) between (now) sovereign city states. (their motto is United Cities of America, after all) Similar to the film. The Postman.
however, this time it failed.
And now everyone has since abandoned the org. Except for a few true believers that stayed. Including our boy Reedus the Fetus (but at this point, he's lost hope for the future. And is now just trying to get through the day) to carry on their mission.
I think the main motherbase is going to be massive, but pretty much empty.
But now. POTUS Amelie, wants to try again.

HBO is hardly free.
$60 also isn't that much money at the end of the day. I spend more than that on a night out at a bar.
Like for a lot of games I agree with you, might as well wait and see. But this one is so weird/interesting that I want to experience it first hand, even if it's bad.
I was absolutely not surprised that Kojima put Nicolas Winding Refn in his game but the moment he was revealed I was like 'haha, the motherfucker actually did it'Requoted for greatness
I wish there were more secret cast members to be revealed until launch day
Is that oval office just going to be an underground room in a bunker with a fake background projection? Seems out of place otherwise.

I assumed the gold's significance was its resistance to corrosion. It's probably something that's quite static against 'timefall', in contrast to other natural materials.
I didn't even think of that. But it makes perfect sense. Good fucking call.
I think so, it looks like they live in that base you see at the end of the chase scene, which could be the same base that Sam is aiming a gun at in the previous trailer. I don't think they will be connected to the terrorist group, they wouldn't be scared of the rain if they were.
