Death Stranding: A Hideo Kojima Game Strand

People have a tendency to default to the most efficient option, so imagine most will shift to the more developed routes
Personally I'm the kind of player who always first explores the opposite direction that a game suggests
The combat/movement abilities of the speed skeleton has me excited to gear up with an all-out assault loadout. Also makes me curious if the ladder has offensive options too
I think my disappointment with that BT encounter was that I hoping that either you'd have to sneak past or rely on health-sacrificing ammo to do some kind of damage. Like these overwhelming enemies too powerful and deadly for any kind of direct combat. So being able to stun them with the bola and engage in a (visually-thrilling) boss fight makes them seem less threatening

God of War preview event was almost one month before release, so still possible.
Mark my words. It'll be playable on the show floor of EGX next month.
Maybe you can setup and drop the ladder on a MULE's head, but it would be wildly impractical. (but incredibly funny, so I'm almost certain it's in)
We'll have to wait and see in regards to the BTs, good news is that the one shown was one of the weakest, and depending on your loadout and how much support you can get, they can end up being unkillable, and you'd be forced to run away somehow.
So the following things that can be built between players/show up in the games of others confirmed so far are
- Highways
- Ladders
- Climbing Anchors
- Roads
- Safe houses
- Bridges
- Rest Stations
- Lockers
- Rock Cairns
- Plants
- Mushrooms
That's the most interesting part of the game. Day 1 for me as I want to be a Sam Columbus.
I'm guessing you need to be at a certain level of progress before some things appear. You're obviously not going to come across a pile of 1 million ladders, so they will need conditions for what appears and how much of it for each player, and a way of measuring your progress (current episode number, or likes, etc.) could factor into that.
I think this will be different, Kojima seems to want people to watch as little of the game as they can before playing (he said the reason for the TGS gameplay is because there were still people confused about what the game is, and he even encouraged people to not watch it).
Also with TLoU II getting previews this month I'm not sure if Sony will have another one next month, we'll see though.
What's EGX? Also really doubt it, see above.
Eurogamer Expo next month. Some cool indie games on the floor but their headline game is Borderlands 3... so keep expectation low.
I expect press will get their hands on DS this month, seeing as ZhugeEx hinted at there being something other than TLoU.
'This isn't the only Sony event that week.'
Could be. We see what looks like the crater from the trailer about South East from Capital Knot in the TGS demo. Also the contact at Port Knot looks A lot like the guy who tries to knife himself to avoid a void out and could be his brother he's asking about.
IGN does have another video in their DS playlist currently listed as private soooo..
I believe they announced yesterday it wasn't playable but would have an exclusive theater along with TLOU2.
Doubt they would have a playable demo anywhere.
It's definitely not the kind of game that lends itself to being played in short sessions during crowded events, it would do more harm than good.
Not that it would push anyone over the fence in either direction now.

Haha oh shit it's happening ^^
Everyone make your wildest twist theories lol
Just watching IGN's translated version of the live gameplay demonstration. Game sounds even crazier than I imagined...The gun fires the MC's shower water? hahah Can't wait to play this crazyness
Yeah they basically misrepresented what he said.

I don't think this is necessarily hinting at a big "twist" when he's being saying something like this in most of the interviews (i.e. people might not like/understand the game until they play it.)
I think I remember someone saying that was a few hours into the game rather than the start, but I'm not sure.
In the Briefing there's a missing 'Central Knot City' or 'K1' that they suspect Homo Demens of wiping out, so I'm expecting the crater to be from that, the visual at the end of TGA might have been repurposed for the sake of the trailer.
I think the 2018 E3 trailer and release date trailer show closest to the game opening, Sam's on a bike and outside of player control, and then loses the bike, and doesn't have B.B. yet, He's at a dead end and there's a package lying on the ground he can pick up. It's seems well set up to introduce the game mechanics, and send you down the path towards the scene with Fragile.
Edit: having said that, the tail end of that first journey could end up being connected to the TGA trailer, and he's shown with the same basic equipment in both parts.

Why do you people keep making new threads about every single scrap of a tweet? It's like you're trying to sabotage the game. Not just because the last thread is falsely negative, but because the forum at large interprets it as Kojima himself refusing to shut up.
Trolling for drama essentially, it wasn't even a new interview this time, it was the gamereactor one.
They are most definitely holding the cards close
If that Lion thing was just a mini-boss, i can imagine all kinds of crazy Lovecraftian bosses in there. IRRC In one of the trailer theres a brief glimpse of like a giant squid or something. I also imagine the bosses will be on the scale of Horizon's Dinos
Yuuuus time to watch.
Kojima looks tired as shit in the presentation and thats the start of TGS.
He looks like he is on Sakurai levels and I'm beginning to understand why he's saying all the crazy shit in these interviews. lmao

LOL.
A very large trade show that's open to the public. Like PAX.
At EGX ?
Huh. I did not know that.
Madrid Games week is getting a theatre demo http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019..._make_an_appearance_at_madrid_games_week_2019
I'm mostly joking because I can't shake the idea of a bait and switch in this game, but here he specifically uses the word fun so I figure it's adressing the complaints of empty world/gameplay, and it means that you need to advance in the game to have more options, tools etc to make more gameplay options for traversal, stealth and combat. I figure he's implying that after some point in the game you'll be able to invade mule camps guns blazing with vehicules and lots of gagdets/stuff, and you'll have much more options than in the demo which is 1/3 ibto the game.
We already know we're going to the moon so no surprise there ^^
So the hand prints on Sam's body aren't a static design and occur every time he "dies" to a B.T and a void out occurs. So other players Sams will look different depending on how many void outs they've been involved with.
wild theory.
They game isn't good but a fervent fan base rail roads anyone who says it isnt good.
-----------------------
imho, if someone has to sink 20+ hours into a game until it gets good.... Well thats just a reflection of the maker.
I developped my opinion a bit after, it's not that the first half will be boring, look at it like most first part/half of games where you have to advance and lvl up to gain new stuff and abilities, kinda like in MGSV where you end up with much more options than when you start
One thing that I love, but a lot of open world games either don't do or don't do well, is giving the character a home base that they can return to and unwind. RDR2 does it beautifully, VtM also does it well, among others. So all those little interactions and details are just awesome to see; returning or resting at a base will be very satisfying
There must be a food option in the game then because Kojima mentions it and the hot spring at the end is specialized for aiding your stomach too.
He also mentions there's a yet to be announced mode or feature in the private room when they look at the toy figures.

Do we know what the format and bitrate the digital version of Timefall will be ?
I agree here. Makes the game so much more refreshing to experience. Especially triggering surprise cut-scenes... etc.
Because it's not official, but IGN put in the work with a good translation.
You see that cliff over there ? You can piss off it. 🤣
Really looking forward to the OST. So far, every bit of original music in the trailers and gameplay footage sounds great.
