Most wanted game of 2025 currently.

The first is a masterpiece.

Fuggin-A, my youth!

Fuggin-A!

This could be the game that make me buy a ps5pro... Don't know if I'll be able to resist the urge and wait for pc version...

PC versions to games are coming out more broken than ever. Get it on the Pro.

 

[Peroroncino]

Combat in 1 was ass juice, hopefully this is not BS about exciting combat.

 

[Physiognomonics]

So you're excited for something PlayStation has to offer.

Death Stranding is owned by Kojima Studios. The first game was released on all major consoles, including Xbox. Kojima Studio is not a part of Playstation. They just have a time exclusivity partnership like with some Final Fantasy games.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I really love Kojima's work, but I really feel he needs to ground DS2 to reality, the first one was just too fantastic to make sense and so nothing hold much weight as compared to metal gear when things are more realistic but with a touch of fantasy

Reading this comment after the latest trailer is funny.

Are they? Seems like they have improved with reduced shader stutter and increasing implementation of upscalers and framegen.

Just because they own the IP does not mean that they own the game itself (as we've seen several times before from Sunset Overdrive to Stellar Blade). It's literally produced by Sony, and specifically, PlayStation Studios.
The fact that even the Xbox port of DS1 has a fucking 'Sony Interactive Entertainment presents' splash screen proves that it's nothing like the Final Fantasy deals, so at this point you're just genuinely coping, or once again, have no idea of what you're talking about.

Kojima just needs to add MGS combat and the Game Will be a Masterpiece otherwise Will be another walk simulador with great cinemática.

I liked DS but there where times it was to slow due the lack of combat also it was "light" combat, very soft not intense.

Combat in the first one was dogshit and there was very little to explore\find in the open world so i need some receipts before believing the usual pr talks.

I never explored going from point to point was enough for me. Combat was dog shit and I hated every time I was forced into it.

Decima engine just sucks at combat.

 

[yogaflame]

Graphics is expected to be great as always, but I hope the game will take advantage of the Dual sense controller functions. Stellar Blade, SH2 remake, GT7 and Astrobot Dual sense functions are very good. I hope the same with this game.

Nah it's just kojima.

Engines are tools, they don't "suck at combat".

Combat in indy is dogshit and it is the same engine of the last 2 doom, unreal power both gears games and way worse tps, and i can go on.

Yeah the humanoid combat in Horizon is amazeballs. Especially the 3 hit combo with your stick.

But the dinobot combat is fabolous and make for 70% of the game.

I also like how you ignored all of my examples because they don't go in the same direction of your stupid ass take, not that i was expecting any good counter-argument tbh

 

[Little Chicken]

Sounds like Avowed.

Breh, I quoted your post before you edited it. Even the dino combat is sluggish but its varied at least. But after a couple of hours I just bomb the shit out of them.

The focus of the game is ranged, malee is clearly an afterthought even if they tried to expand in the second game, you don't have shield or counters, it is as basic as it comes, and the ranged part is not clunky at all, outside of gaf bubble, horizon is considered one of the open worlds with the best combat around.

I play these games on ultra hard where half the enemies kill you in 1-2 hits, if the game was clunky i would not be able to complete them on ultra hard that require almost perfection, and i'm far from a super skilled player.

Also, do you really need to read my examples? you should know that some engines power games with shitty combat and games with great combat, it has always been like that.

Ue engine, cryengine, id engine, all have their stinkers when it comes to combat.

Killzone 2 combat is much better than killzone 4 combat and they use the same engine, just to remain with guerrilla.

 

[N0S]

I just find it remarkable that both Horizon games and DS have ass juice combat.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm super calm, don't worry bubula

They are using Sony's technology. Without the Decima Engine, there's no Death Stranding.

 

[Punished Miku]

The first game ever in the Death Stranding 2 genre.

 

[Gonzito]

I loved the first one and cant wait for this one papitos

Dude an engine is just tool. It has no bearing on the quality of the combat that's up to the devs.

It's like saying the engine has effect on the games story. It makes no sense at all.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Sounds like Avowed.

You are so broken you may start identifying as a duck.
