[Draugoth]

Translation..

We have received many passionate messages from everyone saying, ``I want to see Cliff in DS2!'' However, Mats will not be appearing in this time's ``DEATH STRANDING 2 ON THE BEACH''

 

[Nankatsu]

 

[Sleepwalker]

 

[MrRibeye]

Surprising, I thought he was a cliff unger cliffhanger.

 

[nemiroff]

 

[NeonGhost]

Makes sense his story was wrapped up nicely

 

[SCB3]

I mean doesn’t he straight up die in the first game

Then again Higgs is here

 

[GymWolf]

Well we lose him but we got elle farming in exchange

Spoiler

 

[RagnarokIV]

Incredible actor. There’s gonna be a large void where his presence was.

In fact his performance in the game and Tommy Earl’s breakdown near the end were the first time I genuinely forgot I was watching game graphics. Phenomenal stuff.

 

[SJRB]

Bro it's Hideo Kojima. The king of subverting expectations.

Wouldn't put much stock in these kind of comments.

 

[MagnesD3]

I mean he really shouldnt be based off of DS1, let him rest.

 

[Luipadre]

Expected but still sad

His scene with Sam at the end broke me

Hopefully he'll at least show up in Death Stranding: Xtreme Beach Volleyball

Right? My memory's a bit fuzzy but pretty sure he's ded...

Well no technically he was already dead, he draws you into his own ‘Beach’ which are basically his manifestations of wartime. You put him to rest essentially and he moves on. Doesnt make much sense to bring him back.

Well said. Damn you're making me want to finish the Director's Cut (stopped halfway through)

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

His character didn't even talk much.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I love Mads. Shit news

 

[RaduN]

His scene with Sam at the end broke me

That scene reached MGS3 ending level of poignancy.
For all his quirkiness and silliness, when Kojima wants to emotionally destroy you, he does it, effortlessly.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It doesn't matter. It's Mads.

Clint didn't have to talk in Westerns, but you knew he was the shit

 

[Gambit2483]

His character didn't even talk much.

That's what made him even more of a mysterious badass in the game though (in the beginning at least)

 

[BouncyFrag]

Edit

 

[StueyDuck]

I mean.. it does make sense story wise... but also in Kojima world anything can happen

 

[Gojiira]

Well said. Damn you're making me want to finish the Director's Cut (stopped halfway through)

Ngl I hated the game when I first tried it, but I really regretted not sticking with it, the second half just goes nutso and theres some really great set pieces and bosses. Crossing the ‘sea’ is a really standout moment for boss fights IMO

 

[Badlucktroll]

What about Mads Max

Kojima Has An Idea For A Mads Mikkelsen Project Called "Mads Max"

The Death Stranding designer says this idea "broke his face" when he told it to Mikkelsen.

[Audiophile]

DS3 cameo confirmed!

..

 

[Audiophile]

[EverydayBeast]

Gotta support actors in video games.

 

[GymWolf]

That voldemort nose tho.

 

[kyussman]

Not everyone needs to come back from the dead......but hey,we got George Miller......that's pretty cool.

 

[John Bilbo]

Bro it's Hideo Kojima. The king of subverting expectations.

Wouldn't put much stock in these kind of comments.

True. We will play two thirds of the game as Mads Mikkelsen.

 

[Camreezie]

Yet we keep Norman Reedus

 

[consoul]

This is Kojima's way of saying Mads will 100% come back from the dead in Death Stranding 3: Audacity of this Beach.

 

[Arachnid]

He was the best part of the first game, but his story completely wrapped up. There isn't much point to him sticking around.

Bring in someone new. Just please don't give Higgs center stage again.

DS1 never actually showed Lea SkiDoo finishing Higgs off.

 

[Negotiator101]

Those 10hr cutscenes really ate into the budget it seems.

you ruined the game for me. then again it seems like complete nonsense.

 

[Heisenberg007]

His story finished in the 1st game. Not a surprise.

 

[SCB3]

Its a 5 year old game, expect spoilers in a sequel thread

No I thank you. Curiosity coulda had me.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Actors gotta support video games.

FTFY

Im hoping the Puppets little comment about a Band is refering to a Foxhound situation. Higgs is just the Decoy Octopus.
