New Death Stranding Screenshots Courtesy of Kojima

Yup. MGSV isn't a traditional open world game - you're not supposed to go out there, it's just an interactive background. The game takes place on the bases.
That said I'm not sure how DS's open world will work yet.
This is a collection of Death Stranding screenshots Kojima has posted on his official Twitter page over the past week and some new ones he posted today. For your viewing pleasure, I've upscaled these images and cropped where necessary. I also made sure to lift the images at their original resolution with png:large so this is the best they're gonna look.
So like, you can just sit there and....cuddle your tank baby....and take in the scenery?
Kojima you mad bastard
I'm thinking (and hoping) that it is going to be the inverse of MGSV's open world for that reason. Either have an open world that's just dressing in service of gameplay functions, or something that's aesthetically cohesive. Both are great, I just wanna see Kojima's take on the later. I think RDR2 was a perfect example of this, Breath of the Wild too — but it's probably not what some people are expecting/want.
Considering the map may be so big that your character might need to take frequent rests... i'd say there'll be lots to see.
And we haven't even seen any of the cities or ruins yet.
So two maps and a third one they'll eventually cancel because the game costs too much already? 😏
MGSV has the tightest gameplay and controls of this gen. Why would you think to compare this to a game from a different developer?
Not sure what you mean exactly, but hopefully just one. I didn't like how MGSV was split up.
Wow a post about how Kojima isn't innovative, never seen on ResetERA before /s
I get what you mean, but this style of gameplay is intended and is about the various different ways you are able to journey from point A to point B and how you overcome the challenges of managing/distributing cargo because the main dude is supposed to deliver stuff to "reunite a broken nation" however that ties into the story.
Exploration is possible but probably secondary and depends on how invested you are in the environments, but also we have seen plenty of different landmarks including buildings and settlements in the trailers so far outside of the natural landscape.
I'm digging the diverse outfits to deck Norman (I'll always call him that, even in-game).
But man do I get the feeling this big ol' world doesn't have much to do.

someone give kojima a device to take screenshots and not a potato phone please!
Looks nice anyway =p, i wonder if there is another map, he always show the same settings.

I hope the twist is 2 hours in the Norman Reedus character dies and the baby grows up to be Solid Snake, but also played by Norman Reedus.
We have at least 30 minutes or more worth of dialogue scenes. There is definitely a conflict , both physical and also paranormal ? There is a decently sized cast as well.
I meant we always, almost only, see screenshots in this green flat area. Like, isn't there more? What is he doing/testing there all day? How weird.
And yes I know we already saw mountains, this same looking red area, a forest, ruins and a snow section, but still, not much variety here.
Norman Reedus and his funky fetus chilling in a gorgeous backdrops.
I'm ok with these relaxing in-game moments.

I have a hypothesis concerning this scene: I'm guessing it takes place near the beginning of the game and that it's interactive to an extent! Heartman's heart stops beating at the midpoint of the scene, thus forcing the player to either wait in real time for the defibrillator to revive Heartman in 21 minutes or take a nap to fast forward to his revival. It would be a cool way to subtly introduce that mechanic to the player.
I'm not certain what is prompting the hate-boner from some people regarding this game but then again, I've seen previous DS threads devolve into Kojima-bashing festivals so whatever.
Personally, I don't care about the narrative. Kojima tends to make mechanically excellent games and that's what I'm interested in and given his storied track record, I'm certain he'll deliver.
On that front, he's never disappointed me.

Goddamn gorgeous
only like 90 days left!
IIRC in previews we never saw the cities and villages for Horizon: ZD
I think Kojima is following suit with this

game looks great
slightly worried that we are going to be seeing similar facial animations to Horizon, which actually contributed a lot to putting me off on the game, but I think what I've seen so far (heartman, reedus, etc.) is a step above already so I'm hopeful!

The reveal trailer has a bunch of dead whales, so I'd assume sea life was wiped out.
2 points to make:
The foliage and water looks absolutely amazing, and it's great to know that all work done on these things can be fed directly back into the pipeline for Guerrilla Games to use on Horizon 2. Water rendering was a weak spot in Horizon and this is a true step ahead of that. That game is going to be an insane showcase for the PS5.
I love how this shot is basically a replication of the key art here:
The UI, as far as I'm aware, is going to be diegetic - kinda like Dead Space.
and I'm totally digging that.
