Kojima confirms Death Stranding is slightly behind schedule
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
For real though.
That's why I'm always face palming when I read "DS will release in 2019" posts
People expecting a 3 year dev cycle are maniacs.
Why do people act like Kojima is literally the only person who works on the game. Like he can show off the game, travel, etc. and work will still get done.
Reminds me of the MGS4 Making Of video that was in the collector edition where the game's producer went crazy because Kojima said the game was not in an acceptable state in his eyes and needed more time.
Kojima is going to take his sweet ass time to make this game, for better or worse.

Not to defend Konami but this is likely one of the reaosn for the falling out and why other big publishers like Activision ended the deal with Bungie. Partnering with Sony was the best option he had and will likely be the right move but investors want games to come out on time. They are huge investments and the longer they take the more they need to pay the employees and some teams are in the hundreds.
I always thought this was going to be a cross gen title but I think Sony would like to release it on PS4 then a year later on PS5.

Sigh.
People love to exaggerate how much time Kojima takes to make games, MGSV might've been the longest time it took him to release something, but people can't ignore that they had to make a new engine from scratch that was supposed to cover all of the company's projects and develop a game for 5 platforms.
For Death Stranding, they had to build a studio, ffs, and people complain it's been barely 3 years since its reveal. Come the fuck on.

Yup totally. If PS5 can have this and Cyberpunk as launch titles in Oct 2020 though...phew.
Going by replies in threads like this I really do think when people see "A Hideo Kojima Game" they think it is only him making the game. Even when he is not at work people are their doing the tasks they are assigned.
A delay isn't bad, if he feels it is needed then by all mean delay it.
Yeah i was sure it was a end of the year title but that's okay, i prefer a polished game anyway
He's too busy hanging out with musical artists and traveling to various countries to take pictures of food.
has there ever even been a year announced for a release date officially for this? I didn't even understand those thinking it was a 2019 game - didn't seem to be in development that long (even for a regular game, let alone a Kojima game for a brand new studio needing setting up too)
Kojima said in the past he is planning to release it in 2019, even in TGS 2018 he hinted at a 2019 launch, I guess that he needs to push it to 2020
Ugh...it's an open world game. Somehow I never caught that detail. My interest has dropped from morbidly curious to nothing.
It's Kojima, the game has been out for 10 days already. We won't find it on the PSN store until everyone dismantles all nuclear weapons in MGSV.
He's busy trying to meet every celebrity he can according to his Insta and Twitter so this isn't surprising.
Team early 2020.

It's not gonna be normal open world like ubisoft game or Horizon. The setting is way too weird for that.

I...somehow didn't either. I'm going from pretty hyped to morbidly curious.
Well it's an new AAA open world IP, I never understood why people assumed this was a 2019 title.
Horizon, God of War, Days Gone, Ghost, all of them are taking 4 to 6 years to make, Death stranding will be no different.

Yeah the game will sell systems just on the hype factor of Kojima alone, plus all of the super bizarre clips we've seen so far. I half expect the finished game will be a lot of weird cutscenes and I won't know what the hell is going on and I'll never finish it... But I'm still hyped to buy it, if it's a cross gen release with PS5 oh boy..
Not really. They let Bend and Media Molecule work for the entire generation without releasing a new PS4 game yet.
Really excited for this game but yeah, not surprised at this news in the slightest. It's clear the game is still pretty far off.
