Gonna be interesting to see how creative they will let us get to deal with (or avoid) combat situations.

Death Stranding launches on November 8, 2019 (Release date trailer) [New Footage in Japanese Trailer]
- Thread starter vestan

There were literally 3 or 4 people non ironically saying walking simulator in this thread though. I don't get people sometimes.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GAME
I need it now. I love Metal Gear, but having Kojima unchained/unleashed/coked up to 1000 is ultra exciting.
How the hell did he pitch this game to Sony? lol

The shot at the end of the soldiers coming out of the water and the fire is beautifully shot and done.
TLOU is a great third person shooter. People like third person shooters.
I was excited but again it seems kojima lost his touch. I really had hoped for something else than MGS type characters and world. Just feels more of the same from him.
The walk even reminds me of snake and I hated how it felt to move around with snake in the last MGS game.
Too bad
I really hope I'm wrong though.

Yeah, I hope you can play this game offline too as I don't necessarily want to be socially connected while playing.
Death Stranding is No1 and Kojima is No8 in the UK too.
There's interesting stuff in there, but currently that's all it is for me. How many of those Death Stranding encounters are scripted, and how many of them are random encounters in an open world? How often are you jogging around dodging guys with cattle prods? How many times do you shoot undead history ghosts? When you're just out delivering stuff, is that systemic and you can just go around androsk getting rained on, or is it forced that you have to solve a puzzle with your tools?
Excited and shocked its coming this year. I feel its safe to say this is 100% gonna get a PS5 upgrade.
I can see the whole setting and ramifications of all the stuff going down in this trailer being confusing, but yeah I agree that the trailer gets across a pretty clear theme.
You know what, honestly speaking no. What's insufferable is seeing people excited about a thing and then being offput by that excitement. I'm so tired of cynical nerds.
There's so many people jealous of Kojima's accomplishments that their resorting to getting angry about how a vast majority of people are so excited for the project.
Dont mean they dont look better. Not even sure wth you tryna argue I'm just making a statement. Yall need to relax
Looks absolute bonkers, with the expected Kojima pathos about war and society (and on the nose dialogue)
So in day one.
So in day one.
Kind of an Apocalypse Now refference too, at least the first moments of it.
I'm actually one of the professional experts that determine these sort of regards and I can confirm that it is not regarded as such.
But my point is about the gameplay. Like I said TLoU was an amazing experience, ie the story (which honestly has been done a million times before in other mediums) but the gameplay is very shallow as I've said on numerous occasions. Yet some of those same people are being critical of DS's gameplay and saying it's more style over substance. Well isn't that exactly what you (the general you, not you specifically) liked about TLoU and are so hyped for TLoU2?
Isn't he got angry with translators who tried to clean his shit during MGS - MGS3 days? Kojima probably thinks he's an auteur comparable to Tarkovsky and Kubrick at this point.
I wouldn't give too much credit seeing as it's an almost-exact homage/copy of the same shot from Apocalypse Now. Even Tomb Raider had the same sort of thing:
The good: ALL THE WEIRD SHIT, male character names, music, 'combat' not being rootin'-tootin'-shootin' but seemingly cumbersome yet versatile, all the different factions
the meh: hurr make america whole durr I really don't give a shit about 'murica I wish they'd pick a different or maybe a fictional country
the bad: out of 3 female characters one is named "mama" and the other is named "fragile" which while a unique name, is pretty bad messaging from a director whose last game had a comically fanservice character. Also it's fucking weird because she appeared great in the E3 2018 trailer, here's to hoping the story does actually something interesting with that

Kojima is pulling a Nier Automata where the true ending is only doable online.
So, just judging based on the way things went down in the trailer, it seems that getting swallowed up by the tar may lead to the World War Whatever sections. Fight your way out and you can continue your journey, maybe? Something like that. The loop seems to be delivering *something*, avoiding enemies (fighting if you absolutely have to), and navigating natural obstacles with tools.
Looks cool. I'm in.

Yes, yes it would mean that this doesn't quite touch the photorealism of linear games...like that's a no brainer conclusion. However, this is still INSANE for an open world game.
Love the plot, though it may be difficult to follow. Wish more games would take risks on twisted creative premises like this - This world just makes you ask a lot of questions, it intrigues me - unlike most other games out there. It's almost like the whole 'robot dinosaurs' premise that was great for horizon zero dawn. As for the gameplay, the implication you can 'go' anywhere in the open world was pretty intriguing hopefully It really is that massive of a scale as implied. I'm ok with a mostly cinematic game that nails that part well, I think it's fair for interactive entertainment to not be defined by expectations and sets of rules, but something that can be redefined and tuned for whatever the game is trying to do. Whether you're hammering buttons on edge twitching the controller constantly, or sitting back and enjoying the cinematics with more basic interaction as long as they do what they're trying to do well that's what matters.
He made a game about connecting people starring a protagonist named Sam Porter Bridges. I am in awe.
MGS V literally had a gameplay loop where they repeated levels with higher difficulty to progress through the story. The mechanics may have been fun, but it was a half-assed effort for whatever reasons that it may have been.
TLoU is regarded as one of the best video games of all time, of course people are going to be excited for it.
