For the uninitiated, Kojima caused a stir this summer when he tweeted what many believed to be concept art for a new Death Stranding game . Back in June, the developer shared a photo of his desk, and eagle-eyed fans took notice of an illustration of a never-before-seen vehicle branded with "BRIDGES," the name of the corporate government that protagonist Sam Bridges works for. Naturally, this has resulted in plenty of speculation as to what it could mean for the future of Death Strandi
With PlayStation Blog having shown off several great screenshots thus far via its Share of the Week posts, 2020’s Share of the Year includes some of the best images taken in video games, according to PlayStation. With captures shared from The Last of Us 2 , Death Stranding , and other major releases, PlayStation fans clearly put a lot of time into photo modes last y
Few AAA games of recent years are as unique or as divisive as Death Stranding . While the unconventional gameplay of Hideo Kojima ’s open-world post-apocalyptic delivery sim failed to resonate with a lot of players, plenty of fans have been curious to see it expanded upon in a potential sequel. To that end, Kojima has clarified a few things about a piece of concept art that had fans thinking that he was teasing such a g
It's still the season for spending and PlayStation owners are in for a surprise if they check out the Playstation Store. In honor of the holiday season and new decade, hundreds of games are on sale right now for a portion of their original pr
On July 14, Hideo Kojima’s latest creative venture, [[https://deathstranding2World.com/ death stranding 2 missions|https://deathstranding2World.com/]] Stranding , finally releases on PC . Like other PC players, I’ve waited since November to experience Death Stranding on PC, and now that I’ve had my hands on the game for about a week I’m happy to say that, so far, it was well worth the w
Every photo in the PlayStation Blog post is a great example of just how gorgeous video games can be, as images like the one taken by MdeavorVP in Remedy Entertainment’s Control are great. DotPone shares a shot of a Valkyrie from God of War and adambomb2mk captures a neat portrait of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla protagonist Ei
Since 2019 released so many titles, it makes sense for Sony to offer discounts even for recent releases going into the new decade. Many games on sale will have post-release and downloadable content in 2020, so player interest for those titles will increase as the year goes on and even older games will continue to see some retention in sa
If the sequel goes north instead of south, the Canadian landscape boasts a bevy of open countryside and chilly mountaintops to navigate. The Banff National Park could work as a stunning setting all on its own thanks to the glacial lakes containing some of the bluest water on the entire planet, casting reflections of the endless woods and hilltops that stretch out into the distance. For a more relaxed area, the dense forestry to be found in British Columbia would provide a soothing sense of serenity during the player's travels. Meanwhile, the multicultural streets of Montreal offer sights and senses representative of a multitude of cultures and beliefs from around the world, giving players little pieces of everywhere in a future of days gone
"I'm always thinking about ideas as I'm working on games," he said. "These aren't major plans, but just fragments of new ideas. I think about these ideas myself, and then I explain them to other people, in order to get opinions about them." Going on, he explained that the illustration in the photo was created by Metal Gear character designer and Death Stranding art director Yoji Shinkawa, who often creates drawings based on his id
In the end, there may be some gamers who aren't interested or already have the games on sale in the PlayStation Store. Those users shouldn't worry, because there will be a new rotation of deals and savings that starts in a few days on January
The PlayStation Blog post also includes several great character portraits, including Doom Eternal ’s Doom Hunters and Final Fantasy 7 Remake ’s Cloud. A heavily edited shot of a Storm Trooper preparing to launch a rocket at Cal in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is another great picture included in the post, as it shows just how detailed the armor worn by the foe is. However, Xenolith3D’s portrait of Ellie stands out, as it showcases the level of detail in the character models of the award-winning The Last of Us
While the post-doomsday interpretation of America in Death Stranding is certainly terrifying, a disturbing implication to consider is how much the destructive event that caused everything to begin with has also affected the rest of the world. If Kojima Productions is planning to make a return to this devastated world, there are plenty of other locations around the world that can provide an interesting backdrop for the story to conti
While travelling through a ruined Tokyo would surely be a haunting experience, what would be even more mesmerizing is to see the more rural areas of the country. Mount Fuji alone would be a spectacle to witness, especially if the game allowed the player to climb to its very peak for a delivery mission. Just as Ghost of Tsushima recently proved , the lush and vibrant open fields in the country sides of Japan can be very peaceful to explore and the endless assortment of colors on display within the nature there is a feast for the e

Now, after months of endless speculation, Bandai Namco finally confirmed the contents of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's upcoming DLC, which will cover some interesting content from Dragon Ball Super . The upcoming DLC will introduce Super Saiyan God Goku into the game, and the DLC can be played whether the player has completed the main campaign or
For those who are going into Death Stranding completely blind, let me give you a brief introduction without spoiling too much. You control Sam Porter Bridges, a legendary delivery man traveling lonesome across a dangerous post-apocalyptic United States, completing delivery orders and [[https://deathstranding2World.com/ Deathstranding2World.Com]] digitally connecting America’s remaining establishments. Sam’s job might sound boring, but there is no shortage of tense moments in Death Stranding ; any given footstep could be your last as cargo-hungry thieves, the unforgiving environment, and invisible enemies known as BTs are all out for blood. Who knew that being a mailman could be the most difficult job in the entire coun
Kojima then went on to mention that media reception for Death Stranding would presumably be mixed, with "pros and cons" of Death Stranding 's approach to the "strand game" genre. Much of that was actually reflected in the Death Stranding 's reviews, which were notoriously mixed from media outlets around the world. Regardless of how the "strand game" genre was realized in Death Stranding , Kojima ultimately believes in his vision of a "strand game" genre. A potential Death Stranding sequel could solidify that genre, assuming the developer has not been discouraged by Death Stranding 's recept
That manifests in-game as the many community-fed systems of infrastructure around Death Stranding 's world . Players can contribute supplies to survival caches, containers, roads, paths, and other important exploration tools for getting through the game's abstract, apocalyptic interpretation of the United States. Because the main premise of the game is re-connecting the isolated United States together after supernatural disaster, many of the gameplay concepts reflect that idea. Players are both encouraged and rewarded for placing objects in the world that aren't necessarily imperative for themselves, but could save lives for others, at least conceptually speak
If Silent Hills doesn't pan out, it is highly unlikely that Kojima would let all of the ideas and development that had been put into that game go to waste. Instead, Kojima Productions could be working to funnel many of those ideas into a brand-new horror IP . Thankfully, this seems to be the most likely scenario, as Kojima himself has already admitted that the next game Kojima Productions develops will be a horror ti
2019 was a great year for gaming with many popular titles being released or remade in today's standards. To that end, the list includes breakout games such as Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, on sale for $40.19 compared to the original $59.99 price. Furthermore, the latest addition to the Star Wars canon, Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , can be purchased for $49.79, seventeen-percent down from the normal $60.00 cost. Finally, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare , the best-selling game in the series on multiple fronts , is available at a thirty-four percent discount on the $60.00 price tag, costing only $39.59 during the sale. On that note, the Season 1 Battle Pass bundle for Modern Warfare can also be purchased for $63.99 compared to the normal $79.99 c
However, if you’ve already played the game, watched some gameplay online, or read Logan's wonderful review , then that isn’t news to you. In that case, you’re probably wondering how this PC port performs. Well, I’m happy to report that so far my experience has been amazing; it’s clear that the seven months since the game’s PS4 launch were very well-spent. My PC barely meets Death Stranding’s recommended settings, yet I’ve played around 10 hours so far, all at 60+ FPS without graphical errors, slowdown, or crashes. Meanwhile, the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen on my PC; certain environments and character models are hyper-realistic to the point where I feel like I am controlling a character in an HDR video. This isn’t too surprising considering it’s a port to PC, but it is worth mentioning. After all, we have seen some terrible PC ports in the p
Although he has said that the company's next project will be horror-focused, it is also entirely possible Kojima will change track and create an entirely new game. After all, his previous title, Death Stranding , was just that. After spending so many decades working on the Metal Gear series, maybe what Kojima wants to do is create some new IPs for a wh
I’ve obviously never played the PS4 version of Death Stranding , and I’m sure that I’m far from completing its 40-hour campaign, but nothing I’ve experienced so far stops me from claiming that PC is now the definitive place to play Death Stranding . The game is visually stunning, controls well, and runs immaculately; so far I’d say it was well worth the seven month wait. However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo

Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt
With 2021 bringing more PlayStation games and photo modes to use for screenshots, the next Share of the Year should be just as exciting as this one. From God of War ’s sequel to Horizon Forbidden West , PlayStation fans should have plenty of opportunities to blow their fellow gamers away with their in-game photography ski
One aspect that draws players to continue through Death Stranding is the licensed music that periodically plays at different times during the game and can be found to play in the private room. Unfortunately, there is no way to take any of that music with the player as they go exploring the world, which admittedly does strengthen the crushing sense of isolation the game presents. However, with one of the best soundtracks of 2019 , it is strange that the game doesn't have a way to listen to all of that music that Kojima Productions had to pay for to put into the title in the first pl
The term "dynamic" has become a bit of a buzzword for gaming media, with the idea that dynamically generating things like enemy placements, item drops, or even the weather makes a world feel more lived in. In reality, it adds a level of RNG or randomness into a situation, which is intended to enhance replayability and make each encounter feel new and completely different from the last several.

In that case, you’re probably wondering how this PC port performs. Well, I’m happy to report that so far my experience has been amazing; it’s clear that the seven months since the game’s PS4 launch were very well-spent. My PC barely meets Death Stranding’s recommended settings, yet I’ve played around 10 hours so far, all at 60+ FPS without graphical errors, slowdown, or crashes. Meanwhile, the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen on my PC; certain environments and character models are hyper-realistic to the point where I feel like I am controlling a character in an HDR video. This isn’t too surprising considering it’s a port to PC, but it is worth mentioning. After all, we have seen some terrible PC ports in the p

For those who are going into Death Stranding completely blind, let me give you a brief introduction without spoiling too much. You control Sam Porter Bridges, a legendary delivery man traveling lonesome across a dangerous post-apocalyptic United States, completing delivery orders and digitally connecting America’s remaining establishments. Sam’s job might sound boring, but there is no shortage of tense moments in Death Stranding ; any given footstep could be your last as cargo-hungry thieves, the unforgiving environment, and invisible enemies known as BTs are all out for blood. Who knew that being a mailman could be the most difficult job in the entire coun
While travelling through a ruined Tokyo would surely be a haunting experience, what would be even more mesmerizing is to see the more rural areas of the country. Mount Fuji alone would be a spectacle to witness, especially if the game allowed the player to climb to its very peak for a delivery mission.

Rockstar Games and Kojima Productions have dealt with this sort of theme in the past. _ Red Dead Redemption _ was entirely about fatherhood with main character John Marston struggling throughout the entire story just to keep his family safe. The insanely huge and complex story of the _ Metal Gear _ franchise touches upon the theme of fatherhood throughout the multiple games connected to it. It’s clear to see that both developers enjoy writing around this theme in particular which has led to comparisons between Red Dead Redemption 2 and Death Stranding _ . _ In either case, dads are a big deal in these ga

Aside from the game’s stellar performance, Kojima Productions actually added new content into Death Stranding’s PC version in the form of new side quests in reference to the classic Valve franchises Half-Life and Portal . These quests become available around Episode 2, which is pretty early in Death Stranding’s campaign. These quests are definitely an exciting addition for PC players as they reward different cosmetics from and based upon the Valve franchises; for an example, look no further than the above screenshot that shows a Half-Life skinned vehicle. I’ve haven’t completed all of the Valve quests yet, but I can tell you that in the first mission I hauled a heavy Portal Companion Cube back to a delivery terminal and was rewarded with an awesome pair of Gordon Freeman glasses to make Sam look a little more scienti
Cliff’s sections throughout [[https://Deathstranding2World.com/ Death Stranding 2 updates|Https://Deathstranding2world.com/]] Stranding revolve around him trying to take Lou back from Sam, as he is the biological father. The undying dedication that Cliff shows for his "BB" makes Sam witness an aspect of fatherhood that he was totally unfamiliar with.

Theoretically speaking, there is some range in the ideas that Kojima implemented in Death Stranding . While Death Stranding 's vehicle for introducing the "strand game" genre was mostly about delivery and movement, a true-to-core survival game could also lend itself well to the "strand" community concepts. Theoretically these kinds of elements could be implemented into a horror game as well, as team-based horror experiences like Phasmophobia or Dead by Daylight have proven to be very popular.

However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo
For those who are going into Death Stranding completely blind, let me give you a brief introduction without spoiling too much. You control Sam Porter Bridges, a legendary delivery man traveling lonesome across a dangerous post-apocalyptic United States, completing delivery orders and digitally connecting America’s remaining establishments. Sam’s job might sound boring, but there is no shortage of tense moments in Death Stranding ; any given footstep could be your last as cargo-hungry thieves, [[https://deathstranding2world.com/ simply click the up coming document]] unforgiving environment, and invisible enemies known as BTs are all out for blood. Who knew that being a mailman could be the most difficult job in the entire coun
Now, after months of endless speculation, Bandai Namco finally confirmed the contents of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's upcoming DLC, which will cover some interesting content from Dragon Ball Super . The upcoming DLC will introduce Super Saiyan God Goku into the game, and the DLC can be played whether the player has completed the main campaign or
It's still the season for spending and PlayStation owners are in for a surprise if they check out the Playstation Store. In honor of the holiday season and new decade, hundreds of games are on sale right now for a portion of their original pr
Between the world premieres and the awards being given out, video game enthusiasts have many reasons to tune in to The Game Awards every year. This year's event has the potential to be the biggest Game Awards yet, and it will be exciting to see how it all goes d
The PlayStation Blog post also includes several great character portraits, including Doom Eternal ’s Doom Hunters and Final Fantasy 7 Remake ’s Cloud. A heavily edited shot of a Storm Trooper preparing to launch a rocket at Cal in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is another great picture included in the post, as it shows just how detailed the armor worn by the foe is. However, Xenolith3D’s portrait of Ellie stands out, as it showcases the level of detail in the character models of the award-winning The Last of Us
Deletions:
image class="left" url="https://picography.co/page/1/600"The vehicles are a strong point of contention for players, considering that they imply that they'll be able to trivialize some deliveries, but they also don't exactly move over unsteady terrain all that well. Combine this with the fact that most of Death Stranding 's artful aesthetic is built around landscapes that have been reclaimed by nature or wreckage of bombed cities, and the available vehicles almost require roads to be built. So, a new focus on vehicles to give them a better give and take on which terrain they can travel across and how much they can hold as a result is an improvement a sequel should aim
Things have been quiet at Kojima Productions since the release of Death Stranding for PS4 and the subsequent launch by 505 games that brought the title to PC. This has some fans wondering if Kojima Productions is working on a Death Stranding sequel , either picking up directly after the ending of the original, or exploring the stories of other characters during the same t
Of course, that kind of discourse from a game developer should be taken with a grain of salt, even from an auteur-like figure such as Hideo Kojima. More importantly, it means that Kojima Productions is committed to continuing/expanding the Death Stranding IP further. Rather than potentially working on a new or different IP like the Silent Hill rumor from a few weeks ago, Kojima Productions' next project may be an entry in or surrounding Death Stranding . Either that, or it's another "strand" type game that's similar conceptually, but could be closer to a Metal Gear -style g
Firstly, it's important to hone in on Kojima's comments about the next big videogame genre, the "strand" type of game . In a way, Kojima had stayed true to his word in creating a game that, at first, seemed genre-less or at bare minimum tough to distinguish. One of the biggest and most important questions prior to Death Stranding 's gameplay reveal was: What is Death Stranding ? Some had asked in jest, others were genuinely curious of [[https://Deathstranding2World.com/ death Stranding 2 patch notes|https://deathstranding2world.com/]] Stranding . According to Hideo Kojima, a "strand game" involves the usage of social systems to emphasize and incorporate "the concept of connections" between all players, otherwise known as "stran
Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt
"I'm always thinking about ideas as I'm working on games," he said. "These aren't major plans, but just fragments of new ideas. I think about these ideas myself, and then I explain them to other people, in order to get opinions about them." Going on, he explained that the illustration in the photo was created by Metal Gear character designer and Death Stranding art director Yoji Shinkawa, who often creates drawings based on his id
Hopefully, this means some of the concepts which were lost with the removal of PT from the PlayStation Store will return. If Kojima wants his next horror title to truly be successful, however, it needs to have less silly celebrity cameos than Death Stranding
Now that Kojima Productions is finished with Death Stranding , its first major title since Kojima's departure from Konami, fans are waiting with bated breath to see what the video game producer and writer is going to come up with next. There are plenty of theories out there about what these games might be. Here are the the most plausible (and the most ridiculous) theories availa
It's an interesting conceptual design that does genuinely make Death Stranding different from many singleplayer and survival-style games. However, Kojima's comments on the "strand game" genre mentioned sequels , some that may not necessarily be exactly like Death Stranding . In an interview with GameSpot, after being asked about the future of Death Stranding , he stated a new genre of games isn't defined by just one gameplay experie
Theoretically speaking, there is some range in the ideas that Kojima implemented in Death Stranding . While Death Stranding 's vehicle for introducing the "strand game" genre was mostly about delivery and movement, a true-to-core survival game could also lend itself well to the "strand" community concepts. Theoretically these kinds of elements could be implemented into a horror game as well, as team-based horror experiences like Phasmophobia or Dead by Daylight have proven to be very popular. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Death Stranding sequel, but Kojima's commitment to the "strand game" means there's more to come from Kojima Producti
