Death stranding 2 30 min. 4k gameplay

Same boring shit like a first game.......

I am either getting too old or kojima has lost his touch after metal gear solid 4.

Aside from the nice graphics and for sure the cutscenes, the gameplay is really boring. I was hoping for a big changes in the second one but nope . Looks very similar to 1 and that is not a compliment . I honestly got my eyes shut at one point while playing the first one and I couldn't do it. I had to stop few hours in when I had it on ps4 . Then I got it for free on epic store and I was like this is it. Gonna play again ….. nope stopped way before the first time I tried to play it.


I am sure it has its audience and some people will love it so much. But god damn it's not for me at all.

Which kinda sucks because metal gear series done by kojima are some of my fav games ever
 
I wanna go in cold.
But i took the bait for a few seconds. Looks great - cant wait.

Its a sequel. Anyone expecting flight sim kojima will be disappointed.

Looks like a banger, I loved the original and I thought it was penalized for not being what people wanted from Kojima at that time (a MGS clone with a lot of action basically), this one is improving on all the aspects and based on the previews it seems like this time it will be judged for what it is.

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.

I'm not buying Gran Tourismo 8 either. I can't believe it. It's just like the other 7 games that precede it. Driving cars…around tracks…racing and stuff……

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 feel the same way every time I see a new COD game.

A new Racing game.

A new Sport game.

This is the original SMB2 that was not released outside of Japan due to its hardcore difficulty. The SMB2 you know is a reskin of another Japan exclusive game, Doki Doki Panic.
 
I dont get it, we connected all of America yet the world is still barren without a single soul in sight...I thought they were gonna switch things up, not again just me and my parcels.
 
Day and night cycle will be so cool and perfect to this type of game and weather effects as a challenge. That is all I want too know and avoiding spoilers for me, not looking at any video and previews and even reviews in the future until I finish the game maybe around August. :messenger_beaming:

The only "cool" thing about the latest Kojima games are the cutscenes… The issue with their games is the gameplay itself. He should do a movie, he is a better movie director than a game director right now.

I'm actually glad they are posting footage of deliveries and walking, so that the people who whine about such things will be filtered out of future conversations.

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'm cheesed there is no deluxe physical edition. They did it for the first one, I very much like the steel cases.

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.

Curious,what game are you hoping bluepoint remakes(a game not named bloodborne).

Its like that Rock band that you love and created some legendary masterpieces albuns on the 80/90 but now cant put out a good album if their lives depend it on it ... genius some times comes with expirations dates.

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

This is very shocking to hear. Are you telling me that this sequel is very similar to the first game and how it plays? I'm shocked to hear this. Most sequels do something completely different from what the first game did.

I'm not looking at any more trailers or content of this game. I already knew I was going to buy this game from the moment it was announced.

From what I've heard, it seems like more of Death Stranding but improved, which is basically what I want from a sequel of a game I really enjoyed.

Eh, no, it's more like Dylan went electric.

(...Albeit backwards in energy level, I'll grant you that. Death Stranding is more folksy than Metal Gear. Not that Stealth Action was always a rocking good time. I think people forget how often MGS was shit on in its time for being similarly boring, being a game where you're supposed to not kill baddies.)

Kojima still makes complex, compelling gameplay, it's just in a style that you don't like now. That's fine. It's happened a few times in his career that he's gone off in new directions and not everybody is in for it.

Its DECIMA so no doubt it'll have all Guerilla's features and then some.

I'm curious to see how they handle the day/night cycle, using transitions between bakes or a proper dynamic GI system.

I think the god of war games was the original game.

Regardless there is a MASSIVE disconnect between developers and gamers right now.

Good point. I guess I just assumed New ip but that would make the tweet more confusing. Although, nothing in that riddle says GoW to me so...

Bluepoint has been one of the most mismanaged studios under Sony since Demon's Souls...

I wish we had more transparency into how these decisions are made.

  • Why didn't they put Demon's Souls on PC
  • They chose the worst time to misadventure into live service and with a terrible IP to do it with
  • Why they weren't doing Bloodborne after the successful reception to Demon's Souls
  • Why they didn't do Demon's Souls DLC

Expedition 33 is evidence to me that Legend of Dragoon remake could have had a lot of success. The game is even finding success in Japan.

Looks like they have at least began to correct course. Hopefully without too much damage.

Most do new things on top, that's not what's happening here, maybe they're saving new stuff for a later showing?
