    Default Death Stranding 2

    The first game wasn't everybody's cup of tea but sold well enough I think.

    I enjoyed the Amazon prime simulator that was the first game. It reminded me of the weird experimental games from the PS1 and PS2 era. We need more games like this in the AAA space.

    Death Stranding had a lot of really interesting ideas that I thought other developers would have ripped off more by now (sharing free-standing structures and vehicles into other players' games is genius), and above all I just had a great time hiking around the world. That said, I kind of expected it to be a one-off as Hideo kind of nailed his "rope" gameplay concepts first time, despite having to put some gunplay in to placate the expectations of old fans.

    Default Death Stranding II

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr2yB93pIGw

    It's been rumored for a while and it seems the "Overdose" project was the cover name for this, as Elle Fanning is confirmed to star.


    The trailer mainly seems to show Fragile (Who seems to be have reversed the effects of Timefall?) helping to raise Louise, but something seems to try to take Louise from her-and then Sam shows up, although he's slightly older (Gray hair). There's also some flying ship thing and some weird people with guitars and octopus BBs?

    Kind of wonder if Louise gets kidnapped, and Sam has to find her somehow. Maybe Elle Fanning is playing an older version of Louise? (Wondering if there's a "Searchers" or "Fallout 4" style thing where she winds up being part of the other faction?)

    I wonder if the bad guy is Higgs from the first game. It sounds like him and Troy baker is attached to the project.

    Without gameplay it's hard to tell but I wonder if they'll be more action-oriented gaming and a more varied open world given the "Walking simulator" complaints about the previous game.

    Then again, Kojima's always kind of done his own thing regardless of fans or other pressures.

    It probably would have the strand elements where players can interact with each other through gameplay.

    Some have noticed that the ship at the end kind of resembles Metal Gear Rex. The crane is in the same position as the railgun, to boot.

    Then again the delivery bots resembled the "Dwarf Gekkos" from Metal Gear Solid 4. Maybe the same mechanical designer?

    A wishlist for Death Stranding 2.

    Rewatching the trailer, I think I heard John Lancie from Star Trek's voice before Fragile's ship pops up.

    Totally triggered by them being outside without a poncho there.

    Kind of hard to imagine how you'd expand on the gameplay of the original, but I'd like to see more in-depth walking mechanics, more interactions between players' worlds, and maybe the addition of climbing. Really double down on the elements that made it unique.

    Along with Fragile's below-neck skin being back to normal I wonder if that means the Timefall thing has changed somehow.

    Death Stranding 2 gets a new trailer.

    PS. It's totally bonkers and I loved it.

    Bumping this for the State of Play trailer.





    -Lots of Lea Sedoux, she might have a larger role this time perhaps.
    -Some kind of puppet companion which also turns into a vampire? The wise-cracking and hanging on the belt seem a bit like Mimir from GOW.
    -Elle Fanning of course. Possibly she's still an older version of Lou. I think.
    -George Miller is the captain/friend Kojima decided to put in, probably because he praised the first game.
    -Higg's features seem to now be a mix of Amelie (Lindsay Wagner's character) and his own somehow, although I don't quite remember how the plot unfolded perhaps they merged on the beach somehow. Or he's doing it to intimidate Sam somehow. And he's got a guitar weapon I hope the player can use at some point.

    Oops, looks like I I made two of these for the announcement and then the trailer. Maybe merge?

    Anyway, my thoughts on the trailer from the other thread (Keep in mind it's been a while since I played the first and I didn't totally understand the story either):

    -Lots of Lea Sedoux, she might have a larger role this time perhaps.
    -Some kind of puppet companion which also turns into a vampire? The wise-cracking and hanging on the belt seem a bit like Mimir from GOW. Twitter seems to be comparing him to Alan Wake but I'm not really familiar with that series.
    -Elle Fanning of course. Possibly she's still an older version of Lou. I think.
    -George Miller is the captain/friend Kojima decided to put in, probably because he praised the first game.
    -Higg's features seem to now be a mix of Amelie (Lindsay Wagner's character) and his own somehow, although I don't quite remember how the plot unfolded perhaps they merged on the beach somehow.

    - I see the mimir comparison but not the Alan Wake one.
    - Elle Fanning as an older version of Lou is my thoughts too or Amelie reborn as a teen/20 something.
    - what's the deal with Fragile's extra hands? A side effect of having Dooms?
