MULTI [OT] Death Stranding | Tomorrow Is In Your Hands

[CerebralTiger]

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

 

[CerebralTiger]

And that makes it a stealth game

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?

Which is the single most important thing about Death Stranding that Kojima chooses to keep a secret.

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.

 

[Necrokiller]

Never said its required.

non-fighting options

What could these options be, if not for stealth?

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

Dat AI though lol

quite honestly, I'd want that aspect to remain a mystery.

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

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

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

 

[Necrokiller]

With the quality of AI on display, I can see what Kojima means by non-fighting approaches - just out run AI Madden NFL style :hah:

Nah, you're just salty about my view on CP2077

Getting salty over hands-off impressions is your shtick though, not mine :tv:

Brb gotta set my Kojima Productions avatar and Death Stranding cover pic first to qualify as a dyed in the wool fanboy and exempt my favorite games from AI issues :hah:

 

[Necrokiller]

Brb gotta set my Kojima Productions avatar

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:

TFW you still haven't gotten over celebrating a decade of dyed in the wool fanboyism towards Sony

So the posts have been moved from Kojima fanboyism to Sony fanboyism. Meanwhile, RIP wallet when it comes to Steam sales :hah:. I hope you grabbed tales from the borderlands. I sure did...when it was on ps plus (and never played it :lol.

One and the same thing when it comes to Death Stranding, hence no need for hands-on impressions for dyed in the wool fanboys like yourself :lol:

I hope you grabbed tales from the borderlands.

"I was recommended Keanu but CDPR Snatched him from me"

 

[CerebralTiger]

"I was recommended Keanu but CDPR Snatched him from me"

lol Madds' involvement was announced at TGA 2016. Pretty sure Keanu and CDPR had no deal in place at the time. Kojima just didn't want him in Death Stranding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

 

[Necrokiller]

"Guys just so everyone knows I could've had the hot chick but I wanted the ugly best friend" :hah:

 

[CerebralTiger]

^ Yeah, Stefanie Joosten wasn't considered for a role in Death Stranding :/

 

[Necrokiller]

"I was recommended Keanu but he's more expensive than Mads and Reedus combined "

 

[CerebralTiger]

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:

 

[Necrokiller]

(lmao) @ "peak of career"

Bechara Kojima :lol:

 

[golabucha]

I still think cyberpunk 2077 will be much more successful then death stranding .
