Game looked soooo pretentious and awful. I don't know what Kojima was smoking when he made the trailer(maybe smoking is mandatory to "get" the game) but I have zero interest in this title after seeing it.

Will get down votes from Kojima disciples :)

You’re entitled to your own opinion, as am I to mine.

Thus I voted to disagree.

DaGR8JIBRALTAR2567d ago

Looks like trash...you guys know it but since its hideous it gets a pass.

xX-oldboy-Xx2567d ago

Wrong mate - it looked better than anything shown at that other conference. It will be unique and interesting at the same time.

bluefox7552567d ago

I think you're being downvoted because it's a dumb comment, nothing personal.

HeisenbergX2567d ago

Wow that was pretentious ? really dude ? This game is easily the most interesting game this E3 !

I can't wait to see more.

And what were you expecting up votes ? lol this guy

And no you are not getting down votes from KOJIMA DISCIPLES.. you are getting down votes from people who actually have good taste in games and value originality.

PaleMoonDeath2567d ago

Lmfao, combat was optional in EVERY Metal Gear also. Filthy casual.

nRicosS2567d ago

Yup, and there is a trophy for it

Bobafret2566d ago

You are such an elitist, and over video games. That is just depressing.

CrimsonWing692567d ago

No you get downvotes because you basically judged the entire game by a trailer that didn’t seem pretentious and awful.

DivineAssault 2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

I think it was brilliant. Hes not going to show everything with it so far out but its so damn different. Theres weapons, theres stealth, theres cool characters, & some freaky ghost demons. A baby, time warping, & great actors. Maybe its too cryptic for most but metal gear trailers were just as mysterious.. This is Kojima with a huge budget. Give the game time to cook before dismissing it. Hell, we didnt even see the human enemies yet. He has experience & a unique style. Have a little faith. He's earned that much

I_am_Batman2567d ago

If you took the time to criticise some specific things you didn't like instead of just saying that it "looked soooo pretentious and awful" you might have people actually engaging in a discussion with you. The last sentence of your comment however seems to indicate that you're not really interested in a discussion.

ludicrous2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

I agree with you. I do have question regarding walking in the vast barren waste land though. I hope that it is more like small segment (skipping scene) not like an actual open world where you actually have to walk. I can understand trying to convey the desolate theme, but if you actually have to walk for hrs, it will just become a drag rather than something meaningful.

Like a good YouTuber, you edit and cut your video, showing what need to be shown. Showing everything make it uninteresting, and god know if someone gonna stream walking sequence (i hope isn't true) in death stranding from beginning to the end.

Greg28012567d ago

You expecting kojima to just throw everything out there?
Like HERE this is the story people you dont need to find it out for yourself!

And did you really play mgs?
Because if you did then you clearly should know that kojima is al about teasing his fanbase.

And the trailer itself looked amazing. The traversal, climbing on the mountains and the environments looked stunning.

Cant wait for the next trailer!

Bobafret2567d ago

Buying this game is thankfully not mandatory either.

UCForce2566d ago

And you don’t understand Kojima work really. Combat is optional just like previous metal gear games. The main character does carry a rifle. So yeah, Kojima always hide his gameplay.

GNCFLYER2567d ago

I'm with ya. I lost all interest. It was the only game of the conference that made me say WTF.

xX-oldboy-Xx2567d ago

Isn't that a good thing? Don't you want to explore the world and have the story unfold before you? or would you prefer everything laid out in front of you?

GNCFLYER2567d ago

@oldboy.

I won't be having anymore comments about this game. I have no interest in it. I'm certainly not going to insult kojima or anyone who is interested. The whole video just weirded me out, it's not for me.

xX-oldboy-Xx2567d ago

Up to you mate - but that's what a Kojima game are all about, weird characters, story lines. I don't know why anyone would expect differently going by what's been shown beforehand.

XiNatsuDragnel2567d ago

Pretentious and awful = not good choice words dude. Basically if you want dialogue use netural words. But you don't want to your own.

xX-oldboy-Xx2567d ago

Awful applies to GoW - the dialogue was cringey and sooo cheesy. Almost so bad it's good in a way, but still bad.

EverydayJoe2567d ago

Doesn't make any sense to me right now. Must be trash.

/s

n1kki62567d ago

I agree, i still want to see the game part. What will the actual gameplay have me doing, right now I don't know so I can't say one way or another if I am going to pick it up.

Rimeskeem2567d ago

Please tell me what the game is about so that I know why I should not be interested.

sampsonon2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

you need to remember that the game is in maybe 2 years of development at this point so give it a rest.
2020 the game will come out.

Edito2566d ago

Do you understood what this game is all about? What the gameplay feels like? I'm in the same stage without knowing what the hell is going on and I will find out once the game ships I trust in Sony and Kojima Productions and if you believe that he would bring such big names to produce a crap game that is pretentious and awful my friend I don't know what to say to you... Maybe you should wait for Gears 5 that looks worse than Gears 4.

JesusBuiltmyHotrod2566d ago

LOL sure bug whatever makes you sleep at night.

Greyfoxdbz2566d ago

I actually thought The last of us part 2 was waay more pretentious.

UCForce2566d ago

Kojima always hide the gameplay like previous metal gear games because he doesn’t want to spoil the surprise. You get downvote a lot because you made a dumb statement.

Eonjay2566d ago

You know that is also a thing in the Metal Gear Solid series right...? Nope lol. You get a downvote for not know what yu are taking about and you yourself being pretentious for doing so.

Only on Playstation baby

LegoIsAwesome2567d ago

As much as I want to believe that its "Only On Playstation". Remember Yakuza series, they said on 2017 or 2016 that it will stay as Sony exclusive. Look at it now. Its coming on the PC. Don't be suprise if Kojima will announce a year after it release that a PC version is coming.

I guess the Persona series is next in line to get into PC gaming.

F*ck Sega.

(so tired to search for the article but just type yakuza and persona ps4 exclusivity in google)

Legatus2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

Thing is Sony never, on any video or commercial for Yakuza or Persona 5 said "Only on Playstation". Correct me if i'm wrong but on Yakuza 0 and 6 box art it clearly says "PS4 Console Exclusive game" and on Persona 5 box art it doesn't says anything. Also Sony never on any promotial youtube videos for both games didn't said "Only on Playstation", so it's not true that Sony promote that for these two games. "Only on Playstation" label is only reserved for the games like Uncharted, God of War, R&C, Gran Turismo etc., so only for the true, full Playstation exclusives. So yeah, Death Stranding is full, true PS4 exclusive. 😉

LegoIsAwesome2566d ago

Uhm im sure they said its just a error on printing on yakuza. Where in the persona 5 case that i have, has a "Only on Playstation"

UCForce2566d ago

But the thing is that Yakuza series is own by Sega Third Party publishers, so i’m not surprised. However, Kojima is using Decima Engine which is GG ( Sony First Party ).

Legatus2566d ago (Edited 2566d ago )

"Uhm im sure they said its just a error on printing on yakuza. Where in the persona 5 case that i have, has a "Only on Playstation""

Uhm i'm sure they didn't said it's just an error because it says "PS4 console exclusive game" on the box of the both Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 6, so i highly doubt a company like Sony would made the same mistake twice. I don't know what box of Persona 5 you have, but the official box art is without "Only on Playstation", it doesn't say anything like on all the other multiplatform games.

Box art of the Persona 5:

I think they are pulling a MGS 2. I am almost guarantee it

Chaosdreams2567d ago

What I love:
The atmosphere. The tone. The bending of reality and the extent at which one is able to sense the changes. The playing of time. The ability to make a montage out of carrying supplies.

What made me chuckle:
The thought came to me that this'll be the most intense postal service delivery game, ever made.

RadicalCannibal2567d ago

Yeah, you really felt the struggle of Daryll aimlessly carrying metal packages around what appeared to be quite a lifeless open world.

UCForce2566d ago

I don’t think it lifeless. And I was right. This game is set on Iceland.

maybelovehate2567d ago

Nothing so far about it looks fun to play. But still very intrigued. Love the art and atmosphere.

deckardreplicant2566d ago

how it's fun? Almost every game these days we get lay out the information before we play the game but Death Stranding is one game that we know 0 about and I am pretty sure we love it because of how surprising everything will be.

UCForce2566d ago

Have you play any metal gear solid games ? Kojima always hide those gameplay in trailer before the game come out.

maybelovehate2566d ago

I do enjoy the mystery. Feels very Lynchonian.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Review

A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo3d ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac3d ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo2d ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT2d ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr2d ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas2d ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

fsfsxii2d ago

It doesn't have analogue tho, sooo....

Tacoboto2d ago

$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)

Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.

Vits3d ago

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Vits2d ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Themba763d ago

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos2d ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS3d ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.

Knightofelemia3d ago

Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

Lightning773d ago

Details are important. Console sales yes. Overall games Xbox seems to be doing fairly well in that department.

LoveSpuds2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

MS were doing so well that they had to start selling their games on their main competitors system which in turn results in around 30% of each sale going to Sony as the platform holder.

I do think tjat MS' fortunes will improve now that they are actually selling games rather than giving them away for pennies on the dollar.

Something that occurs to me is that the more success MS published games have elsewhere, the more stark it will become that selling games is much more profitable than renting them. If that becomes highly noticable, I wonder what the shareholders (who ultimately run the show) will make of a service which has stagnated for years?

crazyCoconuts2d ago

PlayStation doesn't compete with third party games, they compete on consoles. They profit from third party games. If you're not comparing consoles there's no point in comparing.

drivxr3d ago

Console wars are over.

Eventually, everyone else will catch up to this fact.

attilayavuzer3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.

Christopher3d ago

Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?

PanicMechanic2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great analysis. Just joking.

Pretending like companies give a f about where they “rank” against each other is just super retarded. This isn’t the World Cup.

Tell me, how does “PC” compete against a brand like PlayStation? It just doesn’t make sense at all. What you just said, is complete and utter nonsense

I don't think PS cares about being in this so-called "last place" you came up with when they're making profits hand over fist.

microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail

Reaper22_3d ago

Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.

IRetrouk3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.

Profchaos3d ago

Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec
