'Death Stranding' Will "Push Boundaries," Claims 'Quantum Break' Creator

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has been sharing his newest and upcoming PS4 exclusive, Death Stranding to different developers and studios in the industry. For example, earlier this week, Horizon: Zero Dawn director and Guerrilla Games were left speechless by the demo they saw.

Now, it's Remedy Entertainment's Sam Lake -- a writer and director who has had his hands in the creation of IP like Alan Wake, Max Payne, and Quantum Break -- who has been left impressed.

[Jin_Sakai]

I’m sure it will. It’s Kojima we’re talking about here! Can’t wait to see some more gameplay.

[IRetrouk]

I know nothing about this game, still a day 1 though, kojimas mind is on another level.

[Neonridr]

I think most of us know next to nothing about this game, lol.

and yet it will still be a day 1 for so many ;)

[IRetrouk]

Can't wait!!! Love a good kojima game😁

[SuperSonic91]

Proverbs 24:6

For by wise guidance you will wage war, And in abundance of counselors there is victory.

Kojima shows humility.

Kojima gets the advice and critique of the best in the business to guarantee the gamers a winning game on a platform that also pushes boundaries -the PS4.

[salmonade]

He needs to lower that eyebrow. It's disrespectful to Kojima-san. jk.
Can't wait for the game

[DafunkyRebel]

It’s a Max Payne pose get over it

[salmonade]

Its a joke, so stfu

[AK91]

I hope the same can be said for Control.

Also love the fact he's doing the Max Payne face.

[gamer7804]

I'm worried about Control from a story aspect. i really wish they just made Alan wake 2

[NarutoFox]

You mean you wish it was an Xbox exclusive

[MadLad]

@jak

Or, he's like me and really just wants Alan Wake 2. I'm happy to support any of their interesting projects. I even enjoyed Quantum Break a fair deal; but Alan Wake is one my favorite franchises, and I really want to see them concentrate on a sequel.

[jznrpg]

I enjoyed Alan Wake but it had camera issues for sure . It was like a slow paced Uncharted with a flashlight which isn’t bad but did it not do well enough for a sequel by now? I feel like it has grown more popular over time because people keep asking for it and the Xbox crowd jumps in it even if they haven’t played it because there aren’t many games to ask for a sequel to that were better than decent. Obviously if xbox thought it would make money they would have got it done by now?

[gamer7804]

@jakiah66 TedCruz is right I actually I just really like heavy story-based games, two of my favorites this generation are hellblade and Detroit. Not everything has to be about fanboy wars.

[mkis007]

I have a feeling Remedy turned down an offer to become ms first party and things are the way they are with them.

[King6]

Remedy is smart they know Microsoft Ruin everything they touch. so remedy got as far away from Microsoft as humanly possible before Microsoft could ruin them and then buy them and then close them lol.

[SquillieDeeWilliams]

So Control isn't coming out on Xbox???...

[Weeblordbad]

And you ruined your English teachers career.

[SuperSonic91]

Dude, your English is not too bad but you certainly did your homework!
Bravo!

[UniqueGuy91]

I wish they they join Sony as a first party though. The games they make perfectly fits the Sony formula(Story driven 3rd person action-adventure).

[4kgk76]

[email protected] king is right Microsoft f#ck up every thing they touch. Microsoft made Award winning highly praise franchises like halo and gears mediocre over time. Microsoft also destroyed rare the creator of some of best performers of the 90’s. I mean Microsoft is destroying the Xbox by treating it like Afterthought and putting all their exclusives on other Devices.

[pietro1212]

I'm glad they did. MS would not do Remedy justice

[Elda]

Of course it's Kojima & Sony!!

[masterfox]

well he always have push boundaries with each game he created and this is no exception, he even created one of the best demos ever created, I'm referring to PT it was designed and directed by Kojima.

[S2Killinit]

Cant wait.

[obidanshinobi]

It will push boundaries alright, boundaries of how far the games media will shill for a game and ignore its flaws just because it's by Hideo Kojima, kinda like what they did with MGSV.
You just won't get real honesty in the games media anymore, not that they were ever brutally honest in the first place mind.

[rainslacker]

Just because it's Hideo Kojima? Like they don't do that for many major game studios? Like R* in RDR2. Activision with COD. EA with Madden?

They didn't ignore the problems with MGSV, they mentioned them, and they were used to downrate the game.

Maybe it's more that there aren't as many flaws in his game, so they don't get mentioned as much.

You are assuming the game has flaws, which you can't say it does right now, because no one has really seen much of it, and what game play they have shown has no context.

[Tazzy]

All games have problems and I'm sure Remedy let him know anything they thought could use some fixing this will be another hit for Playstation no doubt.

[rainslacker]

@Tazzy

Not claiming they don't. But OP was acting like Kojima got a free pass, when he usually doesn't, and where his games are praised, they typically deserve it. All his games have problems like other devs though. The effect of those problems isn't usually worth getting too worked up over.

[JackBNimble]

Not everyone is into kojimas style, I personally thought msgv was garbage and I highly doubt much will change with this game.

[pietro1212]

MGSV is probably his weakest project. Up until that point KP has never never out a bad bad game.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Fuck the games media, I make up my own mind. Those shills don't influence a single purchase I make. I brought the MGSV PS4 console, the Limited Edition version. Did the game live up to expectations - no, is it a flawed game - yes. Am I happy I played it and own a console designed after it - YES.

Kojima can be a little ambitious but he hits the target more than he misses. And when he hits he hits HARD.

He has earned consumer confidence and all the accolades thrown at him. DS is looking like another crazy ride, sign me up in spades.

[trooper_]

What did Kojima do to you?

[AizenSosuke]

It's Godjima we'll talking about here

[Skankinruby]

While Metal Gear wasn't my cup of tea Kojimas demented mind intrigues the hell out of me. Unless some serious red flags pop around release time this is definitely a day one buy for me.

[JROCKNXL]

this game won't be out until 2030

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

2020 latest.

[leahcim]

I would love to see Max Payne 4, so amazing saga!

[InKnight7s]

Of course nothing come close to that MGS4 comosuit.

[chris235]

pushing what boundaries? the boundaries of boredom? after all, it‘s a kojima narrated product. you need to be boreproof to being able to watch and listen to his weird storytelling *g*

[obidanshinobi]

Boundaries of hype for a game that so far looks boring and weird just for the sake of being weird.

[Dragonscale]

You know about as much about this game as everyone else. Why the hate?

[trooper_]

You don’t even know what the game is about. Get over yourselves.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

chris235 - obidanshinobi - this game isn't for you, move along now - the next bro shooter will be out soon.

[pietro1212]

What's wrong with weird storytelling? (Never heard of David Lynch?) As long as it is good that's all that matters.

[DEEBO]

Day one!
Will miss metal gear but nothing last forever, maybe we can get a remake MGS using the fox engine???

Just a thought.

Man that dude looks just like the original MAX Payne..

[Hugodastrevas]

Well if Max Payne says so.

[sampsonon]

does that include releasing it in a timely fashion? lol that would be breaking ground.

[Legatus]

Yet another awesome upcoming PS4 exclusive, this is crazy, there is simply no stoping Sony exclusives train.

CHOO CHOO

[danny818]

This game is like Crackdown. Its been talked about forever

[deafdani]

This game is either gonna be a massive hit or a massive trainwreck, I believe. I don't see any middle point here. XD

[ShadowWolf712]

Well it's certainly pushing the boundaries of my patience. lol

[DarXyde]

I'm sure it will, but coming from Sam Lake, such a statement doesn't carry the gravitas the article probably wants it to.

Just my personal opinion. Not a fan of Sam Lake, as I'm finding.

[QuePasa87]

With Kojima involved is there any doubt?

[isarai]

Weird how since he left Konami devs have been flocking to his studio to see his work. I really don't want to pump up the hype train but damn this is like witnessing an industry changing event in the making.

[pietro1212]

He's been visiting studios as well. I don't think he had that luxury while at Konami and it shows.

[trooper_]

Kojima can literally make toilet tissue look brilliant.

Very talented dev.

[neomahi]

It helps having an experienced backer like Sony in your corner that've been doing games for decades, that has the resources, and the talent versus say, I don't know, Microsoft that has little experience where their philosophy is of Steve Ballmer mentality that you just observe what the competition is doing and go with that to try and crush your enemies. Microsoft will always be number two for that reason, they can't think for themselves. Thus, you work with Microsoft, you get burned.

[WelkinCole]

I laugh when people seriously believe this game will suck or claim that its just a walking simulator

Kojima game. The only thing you need to know that it will be at the very least a great game.

[81BX]

Really need to see more. What I saw had me interested but not all in.

[tonyjames404]

Can't wait to see jjust what Kojima brings to the table here!
