Will this be MGS2 but for generation Alpha?

Will this be MGS2 but for generation Alpha?

Will this be MGS2

you mean it will ditch Sam early on to make Tomorrow the MC?

It's gonna be Neil in the second half of the game

Neil is blatantly this game's Cliff boss fights thoughie

Yes.

I wouldn't say early as at least the first 30 hours you play as Sam but funny enough when journos played the game devs ask them specifically to play the story instead of all the side stuff cause they wanted them to hit that huge story twist but unfortunately the world this time is so much more alive and lot's of stuff to do that no journo got that far lol, this game will be truly special

but Kojima said what journos played 30 hours long is only about 40% of the game lol, this will be massive. Also, everyone who hated DS1 loved DS2.

weird how no one hated DS1 until reviewing DS2...

curious

you mean it will ditch Sam early on to make Tomorrow the MC?

Sam will remain playable from beginning to end I think, he's going to represent the more classical DS1 gameplay. You'll play Tomorrow in the beach sections exclusively, and she'll be totally different and action focused. no open world.

what? there were journos at the even that absolutely hated the first game but after 30 hours with DS2 they absolutely love it, like all the previews are so extremely positive it's insane, also Kojima's sheer confidence in this game letting them play for 4 full days up to 30 hours has never been done before in this industry, usually they get to play for a few hours like 3-5 but never 30 as Kinda Funny's Andy said in the podcast

Do you know what an NDA is? they obviously don't wanna show the cool stuff in videos and let you find it yourself, for example the famitsu preview said you can find a martial arts master where you can learn new moves from him or you can find power gloves to punch people in the face with... tons of stuff they do not show in the videos and I must admit the new B-footage does a bad job of getting more pre-orders in, according to the people that played it, the game is so much more

Well I guess We'll see but for more it looks a lot more like Death Stranding than any MGS and that should be the case, I don't want DS to be Diet-MG, especially with Physint being made

Vandal (a spain outlet) said you can even get knives and swords... nigga swords?!?! like WTF they show NOTHING in these videos of what is actually in the fucking game, it's crazy how secrety Kojima is with this game but I guess he doesn't really care about sales and cares more of people finding and discovering all thar stuff by themselves, otherwise he would show this shit

I mean sony is doing a absolutely fucking NOTHING to market this game, are they this butthurt that Kojima doesn't wanna sell his fucking studio to them?? it's really unbelievable, ZERO PROMOTION so far, less than 50 days from release. FUCK YOU, SONY!

Exact same shit is happening with the MGS 3 remake, barely any gameplay released yet everyone who got to play it had overwhelmingly positive reviews, is this something common in Japan today ? sucking at marketing ?

I doubt gen alphas have the attention span to play through a masterpiece like that

i fucking hate this god damn trash and this annoying hack

Kojima only makes kino tho

its absolutely horrible

It's kino tho

DS1 was great, I might do another replay soon. There's just something theraputic about it.

youtube.com/watch?v=VVGQ3fOgHOE
Just one more month...

big rigs has unironically more substance than anything this hack makes

entire ad campaign consists of posing characters for photo shoot

still haven’t heard one fucking word about the story

Guaranteed piss. Total dogshit.

Melee combat with swords

upgrading your abilities

Skill tree

Close enough, welcome back, Metal Gear Survive

I was really expecting Fragile to be the protagonist of DS2, but I guess a girl that can literally teleport would kill the fun of the game

Pretty sure this was the original plan or that Kojima wanted a side game with her.
I wouldn't be surprised if she does end up playable in DS2 though

Ludokino incoming.

I really wonder what happens to the baby if you fall here. That's the first thing I need to try out.

The story was the worst part of the first one.

can you parkour in these games?

The story is way better and much better paced in DS2.

I'm guessing they will have a special animation of Sam falling on his back
technically ? but you are not a very agile dude with all your packages, it's more a climbing thing

It wasn't the early game which was the worst.

That ending cutscene in the Beach was awful, thank god for the real Cliffford ending after that.

was the story of DS1 not well paced? The only thing I complained was Higgs basically fucking off until one of the last chapter

For ADHD zoomers some parts were a bit too long, for anyone else it was fine

You get lore dumped at the start, deliver packages for 40 hours, and then get lore dumped again at the end

Where the fuck are Diehardman, Mama and Deadman ?
Diehardman and Mama are important character yet they are absent of everything, Deadman was only teased in a few seconds and it's seemingly him dying early in the game

I don't get how that game can be 75 hours if it's this, I hope the 75 hours includes side content, it's almost too much for a Kojima story

Mama is a big star now, this is below her paygrade.

The reason for that was everyone Kojima tried to explain the story to nobody understood it, not Mads, not Norman, not even his own staff, that's when he got worried we the players wouldn't get it and that's why stuff keeps repeating. So in short, the low IQ retards he explained the story to didn't get it and are to blame for that

Will she be back, now with more speaking lines?

starts in Mexico

goes to Australia

apparently someone found a codex that says you will go to another continent

So Europe or China? China with DS climbing would be kino

That's when he should have realized he needed an editor.

If you can't explain your shit in a few lines like speaking to a kid, go back to writing.

Kojima really benefits when he's being reigned in.
He self-indulges too much with too much freedom.

Didn't Norman said he also did not really understand what DS2 was about? He just kept saying stuff "oh wow he's a visionary oh wow"
I think the only one who actually took time to understand was Troy Baker
also it's insane how despite voicing them, Heartman and Tarman voice actors basically are almost completely absent of all promotions to instead use the actor likeness as a focus

without spoiling too much, two of those are somewhat in the game

Eurasia and Africa were deconfirmed, maybe it just be America again (the map of DS1), the arctics, or literally the moon.

He didn't had an editor for DS2 either and previewers said the story and pacing is already better, also what so many people don't understand is how crazy the development of Death Stranding was. When he wrote that story he barely had an office to work in, no staff, had to hired them, not even a location cause nobody wanted to give him a loan, they know his games but have no idea if he could ever pay them back, luckily he found someone who was a massive MGS and Kojima fan so he gave him the money. Also his team had to learn a brand new engine in less than 3 years, that's freakin insane, so many things impacted the game and story, while doing all that he had to manage his own studio, never did anything like thiw before, unfortunately during DS development his mother passed away, he wanted to tell her after DS release that he got his own studio but sadly he couldn't tell her and his mother died knowing he's still slaving away at Konami. This is what people don't get, the development of this game was wizard shit, even sony admitted in a now deleted Interview to not make other devs butthurt how fucking pathetic they all are, they have never seen a AAA game getting made this fast

This was the room where Kojima wrote Death Stranding's story.

Will I be able to take a piss as Tomorrow? This is important.

Funny enough journos said the crew in DS2 is already a lot better with Dollman being an absolute highlight. This makes me happy cause since you take him with you on the journey he would talk about shit all the time but that isn't the case at all. Read this, the attention to detail in Kojima games is truly unmatched.

luckily he found someone who was a massive MGS and Kojima fan so he gave him the money

"someone" it was literally the CEO of Sony who pretty much funded him, it's why Death Stranding originally was a Playstation production.
Unlike other people who left studios, Kojima didn't really do the "indie experience" like IGA and co, he pretty much got a big budget from the start thanks to this.

Is Dollman obligatory or you can ignore him? I wanna walk with comfy music without hearing him talking

That would require there to be a MGS1 equivilant, which there isnt.

Wrong, inform yourself better, it was a bank dude that gave him the money, of course sony helped out as well with other stuff

Nobody younger than 30 is playing this

You can mute him yeah but you shouldn't cause he's really funny and entertaining and he got lots of interesting things to say

Sony was already there to back him up in December 2015, so barely a month after him leaving Konami, so they were there from almost the start

Melee combat with swords

Source?

I just hope he doesn't repeat shit too much like Kaz and Ocelot "YOU'RE GONNA EXTRACT HIM?" or the fucking AI from Metal Gear Survive who kept yapping about my character being half dying

like I said, inform yourself better

A spain magazine revealed you can get knives and swords

I'm not contradicting you, I'm saying he had a lot of other helps too, it wasn't just Bankman

My nigga Kojima really out here testing the water for Physint, can't wait.

I just hope the game doesn't have too much "did you recognize the MGS reference?" thing, The original Death Stranding stayed subtle enough with references to previous Kojima games, one thing I feared is that the game tried too much to gain "back" metal gear fans while forgetting the original part of DS (thankfully the gameplay seems close enough to DS, at least at the start)

Reminder that Physint will be the game adaptation of the MGS movie. Both project are sponsored by the same company

Of course, no one is denying that, that's why he made a game about connections cause he's very grateful for the help he got and isn't the pretentious hack zoomer tiktok brains portray him to be

For those that might’ve not heard: Low Roar WILL be in DS2. Presumably mainly stuff from their very last album, House in the Woods.

"Ryan Karaziya, the frontman of Raw Roar, who collaborated on the previous album, has passed away, so when I was thinking about what to do with the song for "2", I offered it to Woodkid and he readily agreed. However, I received an email from Ryan's family saying that there was an unreleased song. I was asked to mix it up and use it. As expected, I'm not Ryan, so I declined at first. However, last year, I was sent an album with mixed songs, so I used some of them."

jp.ign.com/death-stranding-2/79347/interview/death-stranding-2

Yes absolutely, don't worry, Kojima made it very clear in the newest interviews it's still a game about delivering stuff, he just gives you more options this time. Alltho funny, 3 journos (Blessing, Dan Ryckert and Ralph from Skillup) sit together and talked about the game and they all think there will still be a major twist in the game even after they played for ~30 hours.

Gen-Alpha

Playing anything that isn't on a phone.

lmao

the original death stranding was ported on Iphone
Honestly I'm very hyped but still a bit worried, but hopefully my worry will vanish (I wish the game had a PC version on release-day though...)

Also Silent Poets will be back with a brand new song, they even say in the bio" Featured in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach" but I don't wanna spoil it, the song is fucking great btw. Journos also said the soundtrack is even better than in the first game which is kind of insane cause that soundtrack was already an absolute masterpiece. Make no mistake, Kojima has been cooking hard the last 6 years and the whole internet is still sleeping on the game lol

anon are you a journo? or a developer?

I'm a nobody ;)

Kys

why do you play the second ohalf of the game as tomorrow?

if there's a twist like this : either Tomorrow, Neil or Fragile
Fragile is most likely imo, since she finds the "old Sam" we saw in the first trailer and has a lot of focus on her in trailers

So if Tomorrow is Lou, how the fuck is she so old ? Timefalls don't actually make you older, they fuck your cells. Will there be some time travel shit due to the Beaches or a gigantic time jump (unlikely) ?

See this is so great with Kojima games, you can never reall know what you will get with his games unlike lazy ass woke trash like Ghost of Yotei where it will just be Ghost of Tsushima 1.5 woke edition with a lame and boring standard le revenge story ala AC: Shadows.

I don't give a shit about culture wars, but yeah Kojima usually hit his twist well
Well to be more precise, his trailers usually have enormous spoilers but they are well hidden

you can do BIKE parkour but the movement is heavy and realistic
so you need to watch your step like you are carying 200kg of cargo on your back
its a hiking simulator where the whole puzzle is just moving around stuff we see as granted in other games
like going down a clif, you need to place arope
to cross a river you gotta watch your step and see if tis not too deep
or you can use a ladder as a bridge but it might break or you can slip off it

Yep, previewers also said the trailers are very clever edited and most of what happens in the first 30 hours they played was in the trailers, Kojima said they played like 40% of the game which means the last 60% we have absolutely no idea what will happen. I really hope he keeps it that way but then again he will still show at least 1 or 2 more trailers (Summer Fest I guess and Launch Trailer). This shit has me a bit worried that in the end he shows too much to get those pre-order numbers up with a small gameplay tease of Tomorrow or something. I hope not but we also need to understand the game has to sell well

the twist is that the whole game is played AS 'solid snake'

the OPOSITE of MGS2

kino

I think Summer game fest won't have a big trailer, maybe a small one or something gameplay focused, it's too close from the release

Yeah, Kojima also hasn't even started working on a new trailer yet but the DS1 launch trailer was pretty spoiler heavy so i'm worried about that cause Kojima trailers are my drug man, I could never resist those, even if they spoil everything. MF has me by the balls with that shit, these trailers are always so freaking good

What do you think is going on here?

MGSV 2013 trailer is still his magnum opus
Fuck that reminds me, the MGS remake guys, they are pretty good, but they have to train a dude at making trailers like Kojima, have him watch his trailers on repeat or something, their trailers are fine but but it's clearly a level below.

some pre vis shit I bet the dude on the left is just a placeholder for a BT Titan

that's a pretty damn detailed placeholder lol

Wait is this volume ? Even Kojima manged to afford one ?

I told you mfs Kojima has been cooking hard the last 6 years.

Japanese police are white supremacists

WTF

I know he's being cooking but these studios are extremely expensive, I don't know a lot of game studios able to afford one

Maybe I missed something but wasn't the president someone else entirely in the ending of the 1st game?

I have a feeling it's going to be Higgs, Tomorrow is too Amelie-ish to be playable for the deliveries gameplay loop and Kojambles already said he wanted to do something with Higgs that would make players want to throw their controller

They're using this woman's likeness but she's being voiced by someone completely different

You will now play as an international war criminal, schizo and abuser

Kojima...

that would make players want to throw their controller

It's going to be the guitar solo or a full rock song, Troy Baker is also a musician, it's going to be cringe-kino

Higgs only got that way because Amelie fucked him up in the first place. Before she gave him real power which pushed him towards becoming a terrorist he was just trying to connect with people in an incel activist group kind of way. Which is why if there's anyone in the setting that would take over the delivery gameplay from Sam it would be him.

Found it was hilarious in DS1 how he tries to be hot shit and then you learn more and more about his past and he's just kind of a schizo porter who really liked Pizza, he even had his own schizo-bunker
I liked Higgs desu, a lot of people didn't but I think he was a cool vilain, sometimes it's fun to just have some assholes as antagonist

No, it'll just be another bad game like Death Stranding 1.

This, Expedition 33 guarantees that this game will be overly long dogshit that no one will play

What is this supposed to be about?

am I having a schizo moment?
I just discovered that in the first game the way you control the camera is that you're kinda like a invisible cameraman going around sam an filming him because if you pull the camera down to the ground and move it around you can see that you actual bend grass and legit hear silent footsteps as if you were an actual operator going around the set of a movie, works best in the tall grass and whith Sam being asleep
PlEASE someone try it in your game and tell me I'm not crazy and if this is true Kojima is legit retarded

Anon I think you are having a psychotic break

The end of the entire world m8

Why would Kojima pull the same trick twice?

You mean 3 times

nah its gonna be that snake guy, 40% of the game is australia and apparently mexico is the tutorial, i think they did this because you play in australia after you connect mexico then it switches perspectives to the snake guy thats my predicition on this

this game already surpassed MGSV because it didn't cut the character returning as the cyborg ninja midway through development

Honestly DS1 is better if you just rush the mainstory and then if you want to do side content do it in the postgame.

Chico was supposed to survive the plane crash!?

implying

anon please.......

As if those that played 33slop are any different anon... At least this is a unique gameplay experience unlike 33slop kino bro, gotta love how zoomers have no standards at all... DS1 was highly unique and great in its own way, while yes there are times the game got boring, it makes up for that in the sense that the game grabs you and pushes you to do what it wants you to do without it being Forceful it's organic not that 33slop is not but DS1 is its own masterpiece while 33slop is a flavor of the month waifu simulator.
Anon this is the best way to play the game but I got so addicted to delivering I just had to 100% all the knots in the first are aha maybe I'll try rushing in my next playthrough haha

who knows well see the youtube movie

No PC port day one

its over...

I feel like DS is too mature for alpha. Too many contemplation and quiet moments, not enough flashing lights and spastic action.

big boss survived and he was facing paz before explosion, hwll you got old motherbase members in the middle of afganistan

everyone who hated DS1 loved DS2

I don’t like the sound of that at all. Reminds me of darkest dungeon 2 and frostpunk 2.

look at all that nothing

Not that you're bashing said style right anon?
Right?...
