Troy Baker: 'Death Stranding will be a statement. Kojima is trying to move the medium forward, not just trying to move copies'

Death Stranding:

I'm very skeptical

Issen · Jul 31, 2019

Can't believe we're 3 months away from release and a huge part of what I know about this game is "People eat bugs, rip off toenails and deliver packages". That's like 4 trailers later too.

I'm very, very skeptical (and personally a lot of the imagery grosses me out) but open to being pleasantly surprised as a fan of most of Kojima's previous output.

I don't think this supports your argument as much as you think it does...

You might have the wrong definition of "walking simulator" if you genuinely think this lol.

Honestly as someone who's skeptical too, I kind of want to play it just for how crazy it seems. It seems very unfiltered, and could provide a pretty unique experience just from weirdness alone.

Imagine if Kojima actually creates a genre? I think that would have to render him as gaming's biggest legend,no?

More legendary than Miyamoto? Yeah no, not happening. maybe it's unfair because Miyamoto started at a different time in gaming, but it is how it is.

I look forward to finally playing it, but Kojima/Sony should probably ask folks like Troy to not set these wild expectations.

Oh it's totally unfair lol. But that's how things go.

You can't really expect a fantasy writer to become more legendary than J.R.R. Tolkien for example, regardless if there are modern writers that might be better on a technical level.

I mean I kind of believe it at this point.

Arion · Aug 1, 2019

Personally, I am big fan of the strand game genre so I am very excited for this.

Yog-Sothoth · Aug 1, 2019

The fact that there are still some people who think this is a walking simulator.

It's gonna be pure cheese

If we're being honest, 99.3% of people purchasing this have no idea and will never have any idea about this quote.
