Today, the Kojima Productions GDC recruitment page has been updated with a sample of the lighting the Fox Engine is able to pull off. To demonstrate, three photos of the Kojima Productions meeting room were posted, and recreated using the Fox Engine. The page challenges you to find out which one is real and which one computer graphics.
Kojima Productions confirmed that they have full ownership of the Death Stranding IP now, and they will bring the game to more platforms.
Nice I didn’t play the game but I’m happy they’ll see more money coming from this game on other platforms 👍👍
It’s available on PS+ and never bothered to even press the view button.. this game tells me absolutely nothing and looks too boring to my taste.
Same here. I do have respect for Kojima and his passion for making games but Death Stranding is boring imo. I won't buy Death Stranding 2.
I liked the setting. Beautiful game. Started playing 3 times, twice on PC and once on the PS5, but never got halfway past the story. Was a bit reprtetive.
After all the really weird trailers (I still don’t understand what the black goo is about, or the baby) but I read something from someone who said it’s a good game but becomes great after 100 hours which was the thing that made me know it’s just never gonna be a game I’d enjoy. I’m pretty sure 100 hours is not far off my total gaming for a year
Nice!
I´m gonna buy it. Curious to see how well my Series X will handle a Guerrilla´s Decima powered game. Even more curious to see how the S is gonna handle it.
The DF review on this is gonna be interesting to say at least.
Glad you're going to buy it. I really hope you enjoy it and can immerse yourself in it.
Same pricing as Sea of thieves when launched on Playstation. Enjoy DS coz its great game.
"You not sad it's not on gamepass?"
Not really. Why would I?
Already bought it. Size is 79.74GB on Xbox Series X. Gonna try it later. Hopefully it´s good.
@obscuredSkyisFalling: “ Death stranding was already on gamepass
It’s $20 and includes Xbox and PC. Bargain. It’s $50 on PS store, without the 2nd copy.”
why are you afraid of using your account to post that obvious trolling and offensive comment it’s nothing new to us. 🤷🏿
EDIT: HA already spammed to death 🤣
I have to admit, that I'm surprised by this, but the more people who can play, the better. Xbox gamers, give it a chance if you don't mind walking through a massive map in mostly solitude, and also keep in mind, that late into the game, it becomes an zipline simulator!
I wonder if it was in the contract or something that after so many years Kojima would get full ownership.
That's very plausible in my opinion. The importance of ownership must've been very clear to him after his departure from Konami.
My money is that it was a sweetener when they approached him for ds2 and psyops exclusivity or timed exclusivity
I'm wondering if this means the Strand system patent gets transferred to KojiPro. Sony never should have patented it to begin with when it was KojiPro's invention.
Yuji Shimomura joins Kojima Productions for another round.
Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?
Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.
MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.
@mkis007
Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.
Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.
The Nerd Stash: Kojima Productions as a whole is nothing without Hideo Kojima himself and the backing of either Xbox or PlayStation.
Lets be honest Kojima is a Playstation man through and through and his effort on the MS project will be minimal, experimental and lip service at best. Once DS2 is complete he will focus almost all of his efforts on this new Stealth IP for Playstation, thinking anything else is just denial.
What I noticed was that Kojima’s spiritual Metal Gear new IP having game and movie integration/overlap/continuati on (in some way) sounds very much like the vision he revealed at the Game Awards regarding his partnership with Xbox.
Some chump was recommending he sell his business to PlayStation - why would he do that? He has his own company, it’s making big money, he’s partnered with the biggest names to create his dream projects. Hideo Kojima is winning.
So you think he's gonna intentionally blemish his reputation with a bad game... Because console wars? That's crazy.
I think O.D is a Spiritual Silent Hill and Physint is a spiritual Metal Gear.
Yep, Microsofts move to pay Kojima for his canceled Google project was a desperate play for relevancy. Just like them paying Sega for Persona, a genre game xbox fans largely aren't interested in just to say that they have quirky Japanese games on their platform to, same with
square and it's Mana game. Of course Kojima will focus on the project that will get the most attention from from the gaming public and make the most money.
so how should they try and have japanese made games on their platform then? Also was sony just desperate then that they threw 3.6 billion at bungie just so they can say they have live service games or does it only work one way?
Xbox never had as many japanese games as Sony/Ninty but they always had a couple of (good) japanese games on their platform, nothing wrong with having a amazing game like Persona 5 on your platform, I don't see how you can even give such a bad take about having persona be available to more players, astonishing.
MS provides the tech and funds for the OD project and you think he'll just ignore that game? You really think MS would allow that? Every person that thinks straight knows that, that's not how it works. That N4G logic in on another world of nonsensical stupidity.
They didn’t actually say stealth
They said espionage.
This is better for me I don’t have the nerves for stealth but a James Bond esque game with a bit of puzzle solving/ detective work and minimal stealth, would be great!
We all know Kojima likes his freedom and we know what console developers get the most freedom🤷🏿 only an orchard full of moldy brains would think otherwise.

i took that as him saying there will be no difference from gameplay to cutscenes. Equal amount game and movie. Something he wanted to achieve with MGS but with PS6 tech he will have that. I am sure sony will discuss PS6's specs with him so he can provide his feedback and know what he is working with
Workshyskiver
even he said his partnership with sony goes back 3 decades so yes i am sure he is a playstation guy through and through but i don't think he will short change xbox
Neutral you're not wrong. There is absolutely no reason for Kojima not to do his best with od its got his name associated with it. It's not like Kojima to half a$$ anything.
What I meant is the scope and effort put in to the project. I'll be shocked if OD is as big in scope as DS, DS2 or his new game.
Hideo is more like a cracked Whiffle ball bat. Roulette? No, he’s more likely to stub a toe in the shallow end of the pool and cry. I love how he’s a superficial champion because people liked and fan for his games, shallow minded as f. You need to seriously crack the curtain open.
Kojima Productions is nothing without its misplaced and very skilled staff (what you think Hideo came up//made/designed all this himself? are you nutz?). Hideo is 100% NOT a business man (As evidenced with his behavior and dealings with Konami’s funds and his own studio (eh…yeah that bridge is sooo krispy and still smoking).
Elitism, drama and ego have no place in gaming and it’s a constant theme with KP. Don’t give a f what their new game is about, and Hideo did that himself. Go suck an 1000 year old egg Hideo. We’ll expect to see your studio did for you on sale few months after release and free within a year. I’d love to see his staff go-western (since he likes to) and grow a pair and leave him flat on his ass).
These days Hideo comes off worse than an annoying influencer desperate for clicks. More news about his studio BS or the ‘innovation and special magic’ they infusing into a game rather than giving news on the actual game, and then we get shi7 like death stranding….

Good overall but I did guess correctly. Only reason was the bloom of the lighting in the second pictures though.
The images on the right but damn very impressive. Well i'd be really impressed if the game actually looks like this.
Reality still has an edge on videogames when it comes to graphics. But ten years from now, maybe we can finally make fun of real-life fanboys for their inferior anti-aliasing and light effects.
Isn't this the engine powering the supposed kojima vita game?
wow, they must be a pretty down to earth company to allow a horse in the building. pretty cool engine they got right there too.
