A 'stealth shooter' is not a 'stealth game'? wut :lol:
Yes, a stealth game would be something involving just stealth for the most part. Your beloved A Plague Tale comes to mind lol.

Nice try to cover your double standards but whats 'clearly there' is just a few seconds of crouching in tall grass lol.
There's "just a few seconds" of gameplay footage in the trailer on the whole. So why is it odd to see just a brief glimpse of stealth? And yes, sneaking through tall grass does count as stealth. Heck, the crouch walk animation is almost exactly like that of Snake's from MGS.

When a game is branded a 'stealth game' or a 'stealth action game' or a 'stealth shooter' or 'stealth whatever', the primary emphasis is on stealth, not just giving you some pseudo-stealth mechanics like a lot of other games now do too.
There is no primary emphasis in Kojima's games. MGSV, for example, can exclusively be played as a shooter or a stealth game (minus boss encounters). The same is true for Death Stranding, as Kojima has already stated.

The important thing is, you're getting hyped up over few flashes of 'gameplay' without knowing anything about how it all actually fits together because the most important mechanic was completely absent in the trailer and it has never been shown to the media in a playable state.
The important thing is that those flashes of gameplay conform to what Kojima has done before. The social aspects can alter the game flow, but they can't alter the mechanical fluidity of shooting, movement, and stealth.

Because a brief glimpse of stealth doesn't make it a stealth game (oh sorry, a stealth 'action' game). Your beloved Spider-Man comes to mind :lol:

MGSV, for example, can exclusively be played as a shooter or a stealth game (minus boss encounters).
And that makes it a stealth game, which according to Kojima, Death Stranding is not. Action-adventure games now have stealth abilities as well, that doesn't make them stealth games.

The social aspects can alter the game flow
Which is the single most important thing about Death Stranding that Kojima chooses to keep a secret. But dyed in the wool fanboys already have it pre-ordered lol

Nah. It's an option, not a requirement. Kojima said there are non-fighting options in Death Stranding as well. We've seen a glimpse of stealth. What could these options be, if not for stealth?

That's fine, and quite honestly, I'd want that aspect to remain a mystery. It's part of what makes Kojima's games great. But as far as player mechanics and controls go, I know what to expect more or less.

Never said its required.

Some Madden NFL inspired rushing ofcourse, not necessarily stealth. Did you even watch the trailer? :lol:



Dat AI though lol

A requirement for being a blind fanboy and you fit the bill perfectly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I did, but did you watch it? He literally punches an enemy right after your gif ends :lol:

Can you tell us more about the gameplay?

I can’t really speak on that right now but in a word, it’s an action game – an open world game, with a lot of freedom. You have a lot of freedom of choice to do what you want to do and you can get in vehicles and so on. If you are a fighter, there’s plenty of opportunity for that. If you’re not that type of player, there are other ways to play this game. I can’t really say much more, but it’s an open-world, action game that’s very intuitive to play. Once you get into the world and start to explore more, we’re hoping there’s something there you’ve never seen before.
What part of CQC/melee is non-fighting? lol

Nah, you're just salty about my view on CP2077's lack of hands-on at E3 :hah:

TFW you still haven't gotten over celebrating a decade of dyed in the wool fanboyism towards Sony and you have to pay for an avatar for your favorite exclusive :lol:



Sony: Represent! (but pay us first) :lol:

At a time when both Madds and Reedus were at the peak of their respective careers, and Keanu was looking to make a comeback with John Wick 2? Surejan.gif :hah:

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
