Not into mgs V and I doubt this will be any better for me. I guess MGS style games are dead too.

 

[the_batman]

so far we know that it's a video game.. i think.

 

[Jingo]

Kojima is a superstar, he is only at these shows like justin bieber or snoopdogg at random event, to make it more exclusive

 

[I-hate-u]

Lmao at Kojima turning this into an open world game. So much for that small project he was going for. This won't see the release before 2019.

And yet Kojima will show up in every Sony conference until release.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

My PS5 is ready.

He always said he was making a big game with a small team. That big game just happens to be an open world game. See you in 2021, Kojimbles.

 

[ScientificPizza]

It sounds like MGSV crossed with Rust/Arc. It sounds rad.

that sounds like metal gear survive

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Let's hope this open world isn't as lifeless and boring as his last one

This is my worry as well.

Not obvious huh..

i'm joking of course

I like chibi Kojimas Unknown Pleasures shirt

 

[Mifec]

Kojima trying to create hype for his 2025 game, I see

Because he has literally nothing. lol. He said so himself, "oh we can finally start creating the game now!".

Why he was invited (?) on stage, who knows.


Seriously. Dude gets millions from Sony, fuck right off.

Because he is literally GOD. Miyazaki is nothing compared to him.

Considering "real" spoilers about the entire game, except for one huge detail at end of the game, are out in the wild, one should really watch out not to click too many of these fat black spoiler tags.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Should I be expecting an open world online multiplayer photorealistic version of Nobi Nobi Boy?

 

[DangerMouse]

ROFL

Actually I believe back around when he took the Sony deal he specifically said he was going to make a big game because he knew people would be disappointed if he stopped making big games.

 

[Breakage]

They literally just wheeled him out to say "Hi, I'm making a video game".

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Yes! A game is all I ever wanted!

Alleged "leak" of Death Stranding's plot

 

[Alienous]

I'm ready for this to not be great.

Kojima has stuck with the same genre for decades, and publicly berated his team's attempts to branch out of it (with Metal Gear Rising).

Now it's all eyes on Kojima and Rope Simulator 2019.

 

[Aostia]

such an exciting description (said no one ever)

 

[Crazy Diamond]

I'm ready for this to not be great.

...What?

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Okay, as long as I get a naked Norman Reedus dancing in the rain cutscene.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

...What?

saying he is expecting it not to be good, as many people that say they like mgs V there are still a lot of mgs fans that don't like it that much

 

[Elios83]

Maybe we'll see something gameplay related at E3 2017.
At least they have chosen the engine, UE4?

 

[Angel_DvA]

Good, MGSV is still the best TPS ever created, I'm ready for his next Open World game, the 4K part is annoying though, I prefer something like 1080p@60 FPS with amazing graphic than ~4K@30 FPS with sacrifice on it...

 

[Quote]

It wasn't clear to me, will there be sticks or strings?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

You can tell he is feeling himself a little too much.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

It's one thing to have low expectations but his wording makes it sound like he's rooting for Kojima to fail?

 

[Dunkley]

Holy shit guys, Kojima da gawd is BACK

To say one thing tho, seeing chibi Del Toro definitely makes me happy. He seemed pretty emotional about Silent Hills not happening so I'm glad Kojima, Norman Reedus and him are back together.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Norman Reedus running around with sticks and wearing string underwear.

Alleged "leak" of Death Stranding's plot

I didn't know about this.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Maybe just your feeling, don't know without his response but personally if I said it (it wouldn't be rooting) but expecting

Been a long time since a really overall great MGS game. It's sort of like Miyamoto at this point, his idea for what a game or genre for a certain character has changed.

I miss his crazy ideas and structure a lot. MGS is still the best in the series to me, and 2 was still fun but they have been going way downhill to a point where if MGS5 was the first MGS game, I doubt anyone even cares about it or kojima honestly.

 

[The Cartographer]

Alleged "leak" of Death Stranding's plot

They have like 4-5 years to change it so there shouldn't be any problem.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Jesus fucking christ he said literally nothing.

And LOL about being an Indie studio.

I wish I was drinking to spill all over the place.

There is a difference between an indie game and an indie studio.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Generally I like everything about the alleged leak except

Spoiler

wood.

 

[Alienous]

Alleged "leak" of Death Stranding's plot

I actually like this description of a

Spoiler

dreamlike

game. It's the most solid that this concept as seemed since its reveal, to me.

Probably bullshit though. Some dude who doesn't want to be found out but states which team he's on. Maybe it was inevitable to discover based on the 'leak' contents but you'd think he'd give himself the best possible chance.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I *really* don't understand why they have him on stage if he can't talk about the game in any kind of detail beyond vague concepts.

I'd rather have media silence and wait than get blue balled every time Kojima decides to show up at a conference.

Yep, I fully agree. He should get his head down and spend 3+ years working on this, and then bring it to a conference with a gameplay trailer and blow the fucking roof off. I've no interest in hearing concepts and promises when they won't even be ready to show footage for at least a couple of years.

 

[valkyre]

Let's just hope he utilizes the open world format better than MGSV did.

On the contrary, I hope he doesnt go after the "standard" open world requirements ie: a shitload of worthless collectibles, viewpoints, question marks and other irrelevant stuff that make little, to no sense at all being placed in the game's world.

 

[Banana Aeon]

The open world can't be worse than MGSV. That shit was embarrassing.

But we will see. My expectations are low.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

...No? Alienous doesn't suggest or imply that at all. Maybe he's got low expectations for whatever reason, or maybe he didn't like MGSV so isn't expecting much from this.

Holy shit guys, Kojima da gawd is BACK

To say one thing tho, seeing chibi Del Toro definitely makes me happy. He seemed pretty emotional about Silent Hills not happening so I'm glad Kojima, Norman Reedus and him are back together.

I had no idea that Del Toro was back on board with this - is this a recent addition?

 

[Sakujou]

no kojimas strand.
this is what came on my mind.

 

[ViviOggi]

The Murray angle

 

[Comfort Jones]

I'm a big fan of MGS1-3, enjoyed my time with 5 but honestly I feel like Kojima is getting his head further and further up his own ass. He's coasting off the power of his name and seems happy to do so to an embarrassing degree.

Dude needs to wait til there's an actual game or at least solid concept he's willing to discuss ffs.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

The engine is set.

It was discussed in the original Death Stranding thread, but for those who don't know, it looks to be running on the Sucker Punch engine!

I appreciate the defense but in the interest of full disclosure I was a little bit, haha.

I want a good game of course, so rooting isn't the right word. My point was, given how Kojima lambasted his team for trying (and failing) to branch out into a new genre (with Metal Gear Rising, having such little faith that he gave the game to another developer) I'm really critical of how Death Stranding will come together.

 

[double jump]

Low key hope this project becomes the sci-fi darks souls game I always wanted.
And the open world did suck in mgsv. It was either too big or too empty, maybe both.
