Death stranding 2 30 min. 4k gameplay

I'm still disappointed by the shabby collector's edition and the fact that Kojima is going along with it. For me, the game went from a day-one double dip (collector's edition for the collection and a standard disc edition for playing) to a "maybe I'll buy it someday" situation as soon as the CE was announced. All the hype is completely gone. Well done, Sony.

I agree they should have went for physical copy for collectors. Well day one for me for physical copy
 
My media blackout continues... anyone who thinks this won't be a masterpiece and GOTY frontrunner must have started gaming yesterday, Kojima is the mad genius constantly pushing the medium forward, he only knows excellence.

Holy shit, this is one of the saddest things I've read on GAF

Imagine letting cardboard packaging ruin your excitement for an entire Kojima game

If your excitement hinges on shelf aesthetics, maybe you weren't that excited to begin with
 
While trailers looked very impressive, this looks kind of average.
Also i expected more changes...if youd tell me its DLC to the original, id believe you.

What can I say, it is what it is.
But maybe you're right - I don't really need the game right now, since I have so many other titles I already planned to play before DS2. It also doesn't feel like a summer game to me.
That said, I still would have bought DS2 if it had come with a good collector's edition.
As it stands now, the purchase has been postponed indefinitely.
But that's okay - my wallet is grateful.

After that dreadful first game 30 minutes of gameplay is the least I need to convince me to buy another Death Stranding.


Edit:

what the fuck, things are exactly the same as the first! Dropping off cargo looks identical. The menus, the animations, the cutscene with a distorted hologram who says mundane bullshit like "o you're gonna connect us to the Chiral network right?" while you stand there like an asshole not saying anything back, the magical usb necklace, sitting in a clinical room, the elevator back up.

I'm 15 minutes in and I feel like I've been watching gameplay from the first game. Yeah the visuals are great but aside from the desert and jungle I haven't seen anything new. This is crazy.

I don't see an evolution in gameplay , it's the same as death stranding 1 but it could be just early footage from the beginning of the game and will evolve later
 
The hyperbole in this thread as if they've never seen a game before or played the first lmao. Looks like a visual upgrade from the first and improved mechanics, but it's still Death Stranding, you know, the game most of yall shat on for having abysmal gameplay? Now all of a sudden youre falling for this again? Cant wait for Toiletface Man to cry on screen for 10 minutes and gaf calling it the best story ever!11

Pretty sure that Sony will once again have two GOTY candidates this year with this and Yotei. Unless Nintendo can generate a GOTY candidate, you'll once again need a PS5 to play all of them. We'll see how well Mario Kart World and others are received.

You realise some people on gaf absolutely loved the first game, right?

What did you expect? A completely new game? If you didn't like the first game chances are >90% you won't like the second either.
 
Watched the whole thing.. I'm passing as I hated the whole delivery aspect of the first games d this is more of the same.

If Forza Horizon didn't get nominated for GOTY. Then MK World won't. Racing games don't get nominated at Keighley's show.

First time playing or watching a sequel for a game? Looks like it

I don't disagree, but would say Mario Kart is kind of in its own world. I wonder if Nintendo has any big games for the holidays lined up, but my guess is they don't or they'd have announce it already. Get the sense there won't be much until next year.

Going to be 10:1 with Death Stranding 2, enjoy! And as I've said before, Xbox hasn't "competed" in a decade, hasn't stopped PlayStation delivering GOTY contenders (and winners!) year in and year out, it is what it is.

All I know is PlayStation stay winning, GOTY contenders delivered year in and year out

The games are coming, every year PlayStation will have at least one GOTY contender, promised and guaranteed

Nintendo and PlayStation consistently deliver exclusive GOTY contenders year in and year out

PlayStation will continue the trend of releasing multiple GOTY contenders every fucking year,

Ghost will absolutely be a GOTY contender, book it 👌
 
SkillUp: "my god, he's done it again" "the best opening sequence in a game ever" "20 hours in I had a boss fight that was the best visual experience in a game ever"

Not that my hype meter wasnt at the max, but yeah... gotg incoming for me probably

Can you imagine putting out 1-2 GOTY candidates every year and the narrative online being that you're not doing enough? I get it in the sense that not every game is going to speak to everyone, but given the complexities of game development, I think Sony studios are still doing a pretty good job.

Intergalactic
Ghost of Yotei
Death Stranding 2
Wolverine
Saros
Venom

Plus plenty of rumored titles in development from Santa Monica, Guerrilla and others...

Hopefully, within a year and a half we get another epic Bluepoint remake.

Bluepoint wasted 4+ years on a cancelled GaaS. They are nowhere at the moment

You consider DS2 a Sony game? Some people are saying that it doesn't count now because Sony sold the IP to Kojima. lol
 
That looks like DLC....
I mean I guess the people who liked the first will be happy because it really is "more of the same", I´m just very surprised the technological jump is not bigger.

TLOU2 looked like DLC
God of War Ragnarok looked like DLC
Spider Man 2 looked like DLC
Horizon Forbidden West looked like DLC
And now Death Stranding 2 looks like DLC

Edit: this is sarcasm, for the retards
Not the best execution and kind of disingenuous tbh. No one has ever said that about TLOU2 which was a huge leap from the first.

Horizon 2 and Ragnorok though? They were absolutely more of the same. Anyone here trying to dismiss the "looks like DLC" criticism is probably a braindead pony consumer tbh

That said, I'll always give Kojima a chance and I'm not watching the gameplay. He's never not pushed his gameplay forward. "Looks like DLC" is still absolutely valid criticism though.
