I very much enjoyed the first game, a welcomed breath of fresh air in the AAA space. They've introduced a unique gameplay setup [with a few of traditional action combat options], and a crazy detailed world. Never in any other game the mere action of traversing was so challenging and fun. Discovering new areas and trying to find a way to traverse through them was so engaging, especially after new gear was introduced.

I'm all for the sequel ! They could evolve the gameplay in new ways and again give some crazy story with good actor performances. Also, if they are making it as an nextgen-only release, that would push tech of Decima engine even further, can't wait for that!

I feel like reedus has said something like this in the past. Or maybe I have fallen through a time warp.

can't wait to play another game in that universe/gameplay style. it's also hilarious when actors accidentally confirm projects that have yet to be announced, my favorite genre of leak.

You are indeed right. We shall see..... I find it really hard to do a sequel to the ending though but if anyone can do it, it's Kojima.

Same honestly. No idea where he could go so I have basically no expectations. But even though I adore the game… I don't know if I really care about the story? Or the characters? So starting from scratch is probably the right way to go. But regardless: I'm in for whatever nonsense Kojima pulls out of his ass.

The logical follow up would be a continuation of Lou's story way after the events of Death Stranding, but including something more sci-fi to the mix. Speculations were hard back in the day before the release of the game with connections to the Luden figure, and something tells me the next game could be (or some parts of it) happening on the moon or in space.

Death Stranding is an odd one. I can't say it wasn't a slog at times and I can't say it didn't test my patience.

However, I can't say it didn't feel unique, interesting and, at times, utterly captivating. The voice acting, unique gameplay loop and off-the-wall storytelling were the highlights for me.

I'm a big fan of Kojima and while I ultimately finished Death Stranding and would call myself a fan of the game, I'm not sure I'd want to play another one.

That said, the world and mechanics are begging to be expanded upon and could be something incredible. Tough.

Sequel is going to be called Hug Giving and its just a game where Sam Comforter Bridges wanders across America giving hugs to angry disaffected people. Also pissing on things.

I'll play it.

I know a lot seemed down on DS, but having a talented dev team with a AAA budget make something so fucking weird that would normally be a small indie dev idea is always worth celebrating just to get something different in the AAA space.

Kojima never seeing Battle Royale earlier is legitimately surprising

This is very exciting for me. Loved the original and got my platinum trophy even. But do think the sequel should go a lot more action heavy. Kojima is smart, I think that's what he'll do.

I bought the first one on release but gave up on it after a couple of hours. Finally got back to it and completed it last autumn. Took a good few hours to get into, but once it did then it was a phenomenal experience. One that I still think about regularly.

Its the only kojima game ive played. Can't wait for a second one

I'd be down for it, loved the original. Hopefully its in a different biome or world altogether, and I selfishly want a lot more straight horror moments. As for the former I can see a colonization theme off world being put into play. Setting up an artificial atmosphere, more complex construction ie buildings and whole bases. Seems like a logical next step in the formula with the Chiral Network.

Ugh. I found the first game nonsensical and pretentious so this is terrible news. I had to force myself to play the first 10h of the game. I was unrewarded.

I would take the worst Kojima MGS over Death Stranding any day. I wish I hadn't bought it and made a sequel more likely, Real bummer.

He's talked about Silent Hills getting cancelled and even shared a cup of Konami tears with Kojima once, so he probably knows some shit went down with Kojima and Silent Hills.

I loved the first one but you could see where the budget constraints were very easily. A sequel with a bigger budget and with the framework of the first game already in place will be amazing.

IMO Death Stranding released after only 9 or so months cause Kojima asked for it. Its obvious that Sony and Kojima have a deeper relationship and Sony leniently agreed to a 9m period instead of a 1 year exclusivity deal.

So i wouldn't really put it among Sony's other PC versions as Kojima being in there makes it different.

Meh...I loved DS, but I don't think it really needed a sequel.

That said, knowing Kojima's past experience... I guess he must have something interesting to add if he wants to go on with it.
