Death Stranding: A Hideo Kojima Game Strand

Welcome to resetera, stick to the OT and you will get all the information you need.
I thought the cutscenes and little gameplay snippet were great. The music during the cutscenes and soundscape of the open world was really just fantastic. So those Ludens suits are 100% going to be in the game. I wonder if they are like an elite class of either Bridges or some other faction. Would be cool if you could use those to fly across the open world . I'm hoping we see an actual gameplay loop or maybe an encounter with Mads at TGS.
Wow this game really sent people into a tizzy today, huh?
The survivalist aspects of this game were just made even more apparent today; loved seeing more of the weight distribution and a little more about the delivery system. This game is kind of like the survival elements of Snake Eater but taken to the brink it seems. Can't wait for TGS now.

Oh, thank goodness this thread got bumped! Forgot that this is the only thread on the forum that doesn't send my sanity through the stratosphere. Awesome stuff today, honestly. Loving all of the exposition. Supporting characters have said a great deal in comparison to Sam, but it's not jarring (as it was in MGSV), in that Sam seems engaged the entire time, trying to process things, rather than simply being unable to say much.
Why does all the contrarian tendencies of ERA get turned up to 11 for Kojima threads?
Every one of these turns to into the bad take olympics.
Still loving the open and deserted & landscapes. As someone who enjoys hiking and exploring the outdoors this game is right up my alley.
Need to watch Oblivion again.

I don't think the gameplay shown was bad, but certainly not engaging enough for most audiences. There's a lot to take in here. The Bridge Baby 'virtual pet' mechanic is interesting to me because it offers an intimate connection in the midst of the loneliness and monotony that comes with exploring a broken and desolate landscape where you are expected to literally and figuratively build connections between communities. Considering the first trailer for this game, I have no doubt that Sam's affectations for his BB will play a pivotal role in the story.
TGS should be interesting, as I'm sure we'll see quite a bit more gameplay footage that's closer to the release build of the game.

I think there is, just not revealed yet.
Why make urination a thing if you can't eat and/or drink to make you do it in the first place?
It would be great if the game covered how humans are able to sustain themselves in the long-term considering things like the timefall phenomena, which seems to make quick work of anything living.
I guess farming and whatnot could take place underground, but it would be cool to see nonetheless.
So seeing as how the open world looks massive but fairly empty, is it possible it's the whole United States? It would be feasible from a dev standpoint if there aren't many major detailed areas, but rather a lot of large biomes. When he updated the network or whatever, it showed him in a specific place in the states and listed it as the "Eastern region" or something. And iirc, he's going from D.C. to the west coast
This is why I love Kojima games/discussion so much. Even if I couldn't see the thread title, I would read that sentence and think "I bet he is talking about some Hideo Kojima shit." That or Grant Morrison I suppose...
I'm buying this game day one, I normally don't like explorey survival stuff but I'm game for whatever Kojima wants to try. Even if I don't like it, I'm still glad it exists. Kinda like how I feel about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I didn't dig it that much, but I appreciated the heck out of a quality, non remake or CGI superhero movie existing in 2019.
I really wish he wouldn't show more, exploring the world and finding Geoff would have been a great surprise, also like how he's named Ludens fan.
Btw was it said if the open world will be like MGS5 in which you only go there for missions or something like Horizon?

I really like that they credited the VO for GDT this time. Just wish they did that for the Heartman trailer.

We should name our in-game org Soul Warriors. LOL.
But we'll be able to make our own avatar.
No, i don't know that for a fact. But i'm 100% convinced.

I disagree. Kojima showed us the Social Strand System (the MP) Which is completely new.
Geoff's safehouse is the tutorial one. And can't be missed.

Correct. (well, i mean that's what i think as well. So we're both correct. LOL)
You can go anywhere you want in MGSV. Just like HZD. I don't understand what you mean. Sorry.
All I want to see now is Sam doing more non contextual actions. Snake was a Swiss Army knife and while I'm not expecting Sam to be a soldier that signature gameplay element is hopefully there.
MGSV had a lot of contextual cutscenes
if you went into the red with your GMP you got the cutscene with the two MB soldiers knife fighting, if you were away from the game for a long time you got a cutscene with DD being super hyped to see you, etc.
i imagine there will be cutscenes like that in Death Stranding, the most obvious one being the fucked up feet scene
i'd bet it happens if you go too long without swapping your shoes
go to bed, wake up, cutscene where you gotta take care of your fucked up toenail
in MGSV, cutscenes like these could be pretty rare, and they would only happen once per playthrough, I could see the same thing happening here

I haven't kept up with the latest updates on this game, but like, I wouldn't really expect anything anywhere close to even a tenth of the whole US. The Phantom Pain was already presumably set in real world locations that were obviously nowhere even close to real life scale.
The trailers I saw did show such a VAST open world at a somewhat realistic scale that I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen more chatter about it. Looked amazing. Though tbh I haven't played many of the open world games that have been coming out in the last few years either, so maybe I've already missed a shift towards ludicrous scales in this type of games ;P
No it wasn't. It was two maps. Afghanistan and East Africa (well i vaguely remember it being east)
But you could go from one end to the other and back again. So i don't know what you mean. It was only segmented when you were on a mission. Is that what you mean. ?
but the map is still open world.
Worked all day so now i finally get to see this new footage. The gameplay thread is huge so it must be something!
Man, that other thread is a doozy.
In the E3 2018 trailer, there's a bit where Sam pulls out a canteen and drinks from it. I wouldn't be surprised if eating/maintaining your hunger plays a major part in surviving the world.
I really hope the game doesn't have to much systems to manage. I'm playing No Man's Sky now for example and I feel like there's way too much to keep track of that you can easily forget about something and have it end up screwing you over. Of course nothing's confirmed but there's good reason to assume there's tiredness, stress, injuries, hungry, thirst and a piss meter to all keep track of which already sounds like too much. Although it depends how they're implemented I guess.
Or at the very least, Sam carries some placenta pills!
I'm surprised by the number of people thinking that this is all you do in this game.
I hope the map is absolutely gargantuan with no fast travel options. I know that would upset some people but I think if any game were to try an pull that off it's this one.

It's like they've completely forgotten the shooting, fighting, driving, sneaking, and monsters from a couple of a trailers ago.
Sooo anyone else think that we're all gonna be able to set up our own camps and quests? Geoff being 'Ludens Fan' looks like a placeholder for a PSN ID and then the logo on the side being the KojiPro logo might mean we can set up our own. Would play nicely with the connecting others theme.
Kind of off topic, but relevant:
All this talk with connections and seeing the map reminds me of the movie "US"
mushroom popping up was so Kojima I liked it.
Well, you indeed know Kojima has developed a great appreciation for shrooms when you see anything from this game.
Never crossed my mind but that'd be a sweet feature. Especially with a wide open world it'd be cool if the camps were populated by players staking out their own spots.
I'm with you on that. I can see myself holding X to go prone during the first few hours though.
That's the part I liked least. The location of the Ludens Fan just popping up like that without you having to really look for it.
