Hideo Kojima asked Luca Marinelli what his friends thought of his character reveal in Death Stranding 2, Marinelli gave a fascinating answer: "Oh, Snake is wonderful. I'm so happy to be Snake." Kojima could not let this fly and immediately cleared the misunderstanding. Kojima told Marinelli, "You're not Snake. You just have a bandana on your head!"

Even Death Stranding 2's Solid Snake doppelganger thought he was playing a Metal Gear Solid character, but Hideo Kojima had to tell him "you're not snake"

"You just have a bandana on your head"

I'm sure the guy was joking but the humor completely went over Kojima's head. Unless of course the guy is genuinely so clueless that he thinks any character wearing a bandana is Snake.
 
We don't want to get sued so this is not Snake. This is just a man with a simple bandana on his head. Nothing more. Mind your fucking business Konami! I NEED THIS!

Our new character is called Revolver Snakesalot and he just wears a bandana and finds a thrill on the battlefield and in CQC. How could anyone relate this to MGS? It's crazy.

In closing

When you can't even say my name
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?
Go and call my name
I can't play this game, so I ask again
Will you say my name?
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?
Or have I become invisible?

No Way What GIF by VTM.be
 
"You're not Snake, you're just a brown-haired military veteran specialising in sneaking missions who wears a bandana."
 
This dude said he was a kojima fan and he doesn't even know that kojima can't use snake anymore or that ds is not in the same universe of mgs??

As an italian, we don't recognize this dude as one of us :lollipop_squinting:
 
That character model is excellent, legit looks a ton like how they originally intended Snake to look.
Cant wait.

I don't know. After Silent Hill 2 remake and the upcoming SH game from Konami and Death Stranding from Kojima, I think I trust Konami more than Kojima at this point.

Funny... was thinking the same thing. MGS3 remake looks fire too.

Yeah I'll take Konami over Kojima at this point.

Kojima has NOT proven himself outside of Konami yet.

I thought Yoji Shinkawa was that guy but apparently he is just Kojima's yes man. 😒

Why would you tell Kojima to "tone down" the crazy when its resulted in great selling, critically and audience acclaimed masterpieces for over 25 years ?

Why should he abandon the fanbase he's cultivated over that time in search of "the modern audience." ?

You're nuts if you think Kojima kept the audience he had after MGSV, after Death Stranding.

Because that's what Konami did.

When he was unrestrained we got the absolute mess that was Death Stranding 1.

Based on what ? Both 20 years plus old games being remade on unreal engine ?

They are not creating new games . They are basically just giving a B team to use the same damn thing on a new coating of graphics.

Not to say it's a bad thing. Who doesn't want a remake of metal gear solid 1 ?

But death stranding in terms of graphics / gameplay mechanics is leagues better ( I don't like this type of game and I got bored after the third mission and stopped playing . But that doesn't mean it's a bad game for others too )

Konami has none of the talent left that created their legacy. They just hire studios to create the equivalent of fan-made remakes of their old games.

Creatively bankrupt.

I don't care. They are finding the money to publish games im enjoying.

I tried to like Death Stranding, I wanted to LOVE it, started and restarted several times to try to start fresh over the years. It never clicked. Hated it.

I loved the hell out of the Silent Hill 2 remake last year. It was almost my GOTY if not for Wukong.

And Silent Hill F looks amazing as well so far.

Death Stranding is better than MGSV. Hard to argue against especially after Konami prevented him from finishing the game!

As to sales... Why would you expect it to sell the same when its a new IP and a far less "safe" project than the next instalment of a beloved franchise that's been around since 1987 ?

I know you guys think you're fighting the good fight, but the truth is if the industry followed your lead what we'd end up with is wall-to-wall Ubishit !

Lmaoooo no death stranding was not better than mgs5.

Mgs5 was mechanically excellent. Combat was fire. Stealth mechanics were great.


Death Stranding had some of the worst combat in any game I've ever played. It's Stealth was basic af too.
