No Man's Sky + Postal 2 + Yakuza 6

Dude, this game is black magic, the more I see the less I know and the more excited I am.

 

[Proven]

All he needs to do is wear a Doritos crown and the game will be perfect

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I like that this game isn't like others, especially in the AAA realm. That's making a lot of people frustrated, clearly, but it's what the industry needs.

 

[NoKisum]

Anyone else got a Yoshi's Island vibe?

Basically this whole game is Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy.

Just announced at Gamescom, before the gameplay reveal of the two characters Geoff announced Hideo Kojima:

 

[boskee]

This looks really bad. Pretentious and bad. I thought it's just going to be pretentious.

 

[GJ]

This was already known since the E3 trailer, where a button prompt for it was seen on screen.

I won't be liked for this post but this is getting somewhat tiring. The usual "Kojima is the best developer ever" introduction, him basically casually pointing out they are crunching like crazy, then a long overexposition with eternal dialogues that spend like 10 minutes explaining how these "other world babies" work. Then they spend various minutes hyping up the fact they finally show gameplay, and they do: it's Norman Reedus walking in empty fields, literally peeing and with another Keighley "best bros" cameo thing. 20 minutes of the show for this.

I am curious about this game, I'd like to see what Kojima can do without Konami and basically without any boundaries, but the artificial hype they're building around it while showing basically nothing remains baffling. Cult of personality at its finest. At times it feels like a social experiment: what kind of social interactions, pre-orders and viewer numbers can they pull off without ever showing anything substantial about the game, simply based on the star power involved alone?

EDIT: And it goes on because they are explaining how to use the controller to move the camera, how to cuddle the baby and how to pee. This is so fucking weird.

 

[Shakerovic]

I want to see some action damn it

 

[daybreak]

"Here's some footage" says Hideo Kojima, before showing 10+ seconds of peeing, Geoff Keighley, and falling down a cliff.

What the fuck.

 

[modiz]

this was so crazy lol.

 

[Raide]

I need to know how many drugs does Kojima do for this kind of stuff.

 

[Lukar]

Wow, finally, a trailer for the game Hideo Kojima

 

[Noppie]

So you decide to show gameplay and then you: show you pissing, walking for 100 meters, put down a ladder, a cutscene and have you comfort a baby.

That's weak as all hell.

 

[Dest]

no no no! don't shake the baby!

 

[Dozer]

Every time I learn more about this game, I feel like I know less about it

 

[ChaserX]

That's Death Stranding alright

Friendship ended with GUILLERMO

Now GEOFF is Kojima's best friend

 

[Lant_War]

I can't believe Geoff is in this game.

 

[Deleted member 249]

So I'm not watching this right now, can someone tell me what the gameplay is like? What do you do in the game? What other game would you most compare it to?

 

[Datajoy]

They really fucking did it! The first Strand Game. I'm fucking floored.

 

[Violet]

Hype train: full steam ahead

Gameplay: shown


Piss: pissed

 

[Gravity Insanity]

"Do not shake the baby too fast or the baby will get angry" lol

Also:

 

[KillLaCam]

Sam turns away when we turn the camera.

GOTY DENIED.

Click to shrink...

Its a Flop now

 

[hydruxo]

Man I don't know how to feel about this anymore. Geoff being in it is a bit much lmao.

 

[MGPanda]

I couldn't be more excited to finally get to play Hideo Kojima

 

[DC5remy]

 

[tulpa]

me: wow, gameplay! he's gonna show us the bike riding and combat
kojima: *norman peeing and cradling the baby*

 

[Deleted member 5596]

GOTG right here.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Very excited to deliver packages.

 

[Teepo671]

Meh. Nothing I've seen about this game has excited me so far and this might be the most boring bit yet.

 

[sym30l1c]

Still have no fucking idea what you do in this game besides walking around. Really hoping it's good.

 

[AndreGX]

So that "Hideo" screen from MGS's Psycho Mantis game finally got turned into a full game, eh? Neat.

 

[Courage]

 

[Violet]

So I'm not watching this right now, can someone tell me what the gameplay is like? What do you do in the game? What other game would you most compare it to?

if youre still asking questions like this........... lmao

 

[Deleted member 10737]

ugh, the ass licking for kojima before he walked out was so obnoxious

 

[ValKiryuSonicEX]

That baby pod section looks like the mini-game from Yakuza 6.

 

[Patitoloco]

Pee can be a weapon.

GOTG

EDIT: Or a key wtf

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

You can piss on people as a weapon. Day 1.

 

[Deleted member 14568]

people are exited for this?... well huh. i can definitely say this is not for me then lol

 

[M. Wallace]

As dumb as the game play for Death Stranding

 

[NekoNeko]

I need to know how many drugs does Kojima do for this kind of stuff.

Click to shrink...

this looked painfully boring so im guessing none?

 

[5taquitos]

They already showed that there's melee and gunplay, and Kojima has proven himself at both, so I don't know what everyone is so worried about.

 

[NoKisum]

But can you poop?

Click to shrink...

Gotta save something for the post story end game.

 

[SJRB]

Geoff saying there will be more cameos from Kojima's "friends" isn't comforting whatsoever.

 

[s y]

ugh, the ass licking for kojima before he walked out was so obnoxious

Keighley gave him the Mike Adriano special

 

[Hawk269]

The animation seems off to me. He moves like he has a stick up his ass and there seems to be no weight to the giant back pack and all the shit he is carrying. Environment looks amazing, but animation is really off.

 

[AegonSnake]

I love kojima and i love Sony funding his game but if i was a Sony exec, i would be sweating right now. They basically spent millions on an AAA walking sim.

 

[Arta]

This game is gonna be covered in a couple years by one of those documentaries trying to figure out how and why the fuck this disaster happened.
