Multiplat Death Stranding

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Worthy of its own thread now that we're getting some information.

Kojima's presentation: www.ign.com/videos/2016/09/13/tgs-2016-hideo-kojimas-enigmatic-explanation-of-death-stranding

IGN summary:

Details on story were scarce, but Kojima said that the title was inspired by whales and dolphins who sometimes get stranded on the beach.

"The title is about something from another world stranded on our world".

Kojima said that Death Stranding will be an open-world game with a lot of player freedom, and co-op will be a feature. He also reiterated a lot of the same cryptic stuff around Death Stranding's themes that were revealed to us in our interview with him at E3.

"The title is about something from another world stranded on our world".

They stole that idea from my life.

This feels so Lovecraft. Going by the trailer at the time I just assumed this was going to be 2spooky4me but I right now I'm intrigued.

Get back to me when it's any semblance of a game and not just Kojima wackness

So late 2017/early 2018 release?

Kojima says '18. Well, sort of. He said it would be out the year before some anime movie was set (2019).

Going by the article they haven't started work on the game so certainly won't be next year.

 

[ioppolo]

I'll be back when the game is actually in sight.

 

[bourbons]

Yeah if they haven't actually started dev on the game proper this will be 3 years off, probably 4.

Maybe you're not over 18?

Working for me.

 

[bourbons]

Oh Kojima you whacky so-and-so.

Mads Mikkelsen confirmed

 

[dwwaino]

dafuq. It's like Lovecraft + X-Files mythology. Those skeletal soldiers look cool though.

It was tongue in cheek mate

I want to be excited for this but Kojima hasn't released a game with a good narrative in 12 years. Wonder whether he can find the sweet spot between good narrative and gameplay last found in Snake Eater.

 

[2006_Eagles]

The shots. They are a' fired

 

[The Big Sauce]

Apparently if you play both trailers side by side the baby disappears from the first trailer at the same time it appears in the second trailer.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Will be using Guerilla Games engine. which means it will be running on the same engine as Horizon.
