I agree they should have went for physical copy for collectors. Well day one for me for physical copyI'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.
Holy shit, this is one of the saddest things I've read on GAFI'm still disappointed by the shabby collector's edition and the fact that Kojima is going along with it.

What can I say, it is what it is.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
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.
You realise some people on gaf absolutely loved the first game, right?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
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.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.
Ahhh. The whole "iT lOOks lIkE dLc" comment again. lolWhile 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.
It's crazy. Imagine if Super Mario World released today after SMB3. These idiots would be saying that it doesn't look like a big leap, and that it looks Like DLC. LolWhat 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.
If Forza Horizon didn't get nominated for GOTY. Then MK World won't. Racing games don't get nominated at Keighley's show.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.
First time playing or watching a sequel for a game? Looks like itAfter that dreadful first game 30 minutes of gameplay is the least I need to convince me to buy another Death Stranding.

Double that.Not watching but the previews are from the first 30 hours??? Holy shit how long is this game gonna be
Pure gameplay without commentary

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![]()
Bluepoint wasted 4+ years on a cancelled GaaS. They are nowhere at the momentCan 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.
You consider DS2 a Sony game? Some people are saying that it doesn't count now because Sony sold the IP to Kojima. lolCan you imagine putting out 1-2 GOTY candidates every year and the narrative online being that you're not doing enough?

True but they've always talked about multiple projectsBluepoint wasted 4+ years on a cancelled GaaS. They are nowhere at the moment

Yeah. I agree. It's fully funded by Sony. Without Sony the game doesn't exist. This isn't a money hatted game like FF.Remakes don't take that long to develop, especially if they've put any work into it earlier.
Sony is publishing the game, so yes, I consider it a Sony game.
"iT lOOks lIkE dLC"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". Surprised the technological jump is not bigger, though.
TLOU2 looked like DLC"iT lOOks lIkE dLC"Boring! Get some new material.
and I thought understanding that opinions can differ was a skill you`d usually get around kindergarten."iT lOOks lIkE dLC"Boring! Get some new material.
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.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
