Man that trailer looked like a giant mess of a narrative... Dangling puppets and super weird photo mode that was kind of cringe. All I could think while watching the trailer was how much of my free time Kojima is gonna waste on these cutscenes.

I hope they have a quality collectors like they did for the first game.

Exvalos206d ago

Still got my beautifull BB in a sealed box, out of all my collectors its probably my favorite one.

CobraKai206d ago

That was a fantastic one to get.

Kassanova07205d ago

I'm still pissed I missed it when it was on sale back then, literally by minutes.

Another 2025 banger for Sony. So pumped for this. There's lots of new vision from the game but I refuse to watch it.

TheProfessional206d ago (Edited 206d ago )

The writing in this game seems atrocious though. Stranding 1 was total nonsense. Kojima doesn't do good stories anymore, just interesting worlds and tech. Graphics were really good also but it literally had a six hour tutorial and the gameplay was incredibly simplistic.

So crazy how he just gets a total pass. The boss with the guitar in stranding 2 looks especially bad. Also cameos from people like Geoff keiglhy and winding refn are too much.

Oni206d ago

It's a cringey game of the highest order.

lukasmain205d ago

The writing in 1 was awesome. So get lost

Death Stranding as an IP is definitely something Playstation can be proud to have. Such an unique and well crafted game design by Kojima and staff.

The community feature, helping each other out, building bridges, witnessing the paths others have gone or even died on ... it was such a special experience for me.

Glad Death Stranding 2 is coming in 2025.

I really gotta say:

Seeing paths others have gone, structures they've built, items that were lost on their journey, collecting and delivering them out ...

My fantasy totally got lost imagining what they must have witnessed, why they died here, why they choose to built structures or leave a rope or latter behind.

While imaginary, it was story-telling beneath the main story.

I couldn't believe it and got so heavily dragged away in awe by that.

For me personally, Death Stranding is easily in the top 3 of games over the past 10 years.

I cannot wait to see how they've been able to use the hardware of PS5 to improve on these and other game mechanics.

Kojima and staff have always been known for pushing game design further and uitilizing technology.

I'm not even a "kojima fan" but I am really looking forward to this game. The first game was good, it was obviously rushed but the vision was there, I expect this game to be the fleshed out vision. I hope there is more of the mountain climbing and traversal on foot stuff, that was really my favorite part.

ehm okeeey.
i guess i get it, but shouldn't be a difficulty setting be the solution and not a skip feature?

StoneTitan11d ago

That is the difficulty setting ^^

Love the first game but the boss battles were crap, especially the Cliff ones. All Cliff encounters are exactly the same, only in different environments. Furthermore, you have to do the same thing 4 times! No different forms, no different patterns, nothing.

-Foxtrot11d ago

I mean that's a nice thought and all but if you are going to get the sequel to this I'm guessing you are going to be one of those fans who managed to do the boss battles in the original.

I don't think this is going to bring in new fans or ones who didn't like the first one in general.

I understand if it was a brand new story with new characters where you get a clean fresh slate to try and bring in everyone again but a straight up sequel...it has it's fans and I bet they managed to get through the first game no problem.

A weird idea for a sequel to have, since players need to beat the bosses of the first game, unless he plans on making the bosses more complicated this time around which I highly doubt. Honestly it's a horrible feature, for a game about the struggle of going around to deliver things, to let you skip fighting which is a part of the struggle.
