[Wink]

It's insane to me how fucking fantastic this game looks and how much the culture and expectations around that have changed that when you see gifs with that scope you just go... eh, another day in the office
On one hand it's a good thing, on the other my teenage self mind exploding over 3D benchmarks and saving up for new graphics cards all the time to play the latest releases and see what the next step would feel like is still in here somewhere and is loving the look of this game like crazy.

 

[Thickandblack]

No, I get the game, not my cup of tea, just the Gif's were just of walking and falling, not getting how that is supposed to hype anyone up.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

LMFAO!

 

[#Phonepunk#]

ahhh i keep checking Amazon but my copy is frozen just before the "shipping" dot. i hope i at least get it early on Fri...

Then move along, and not troll OT's. Thank you.

Some more gifs to get hyped.

Imagine this game with euphoria engine from rockstar games, some of the interaction with the scenery are kinda rough...

But i love how the chara feel the change of weight and animate accordantly.

 

[Mista]

MiyazakiHatesKojima Thank you for the gold♥

The PSN pre-order dynamic theme is locked until the game releases. Is that normal? I don’t remember that happening with Spider-Man.

It’s the first time I experience such thing too

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Thank you for the gold MiyazakiHatesKojima it shall go well with my gold pre order items.

 

[Roni]

It’s the first time i

I wonder if we're in for a surprise of some kind.

I’m already gold and now extra gold goes well with Higgs mask

 

[rofif]

Lol gonna be funny going to some small local retailers asking for day early under the table Death Stranding

You’ll get it. They’re already selling it here in my place but I’m acting blind

 

[cormack12]

Great subtitle ha

 

[GymWolf]

I'm ready for graphics comparison between this against rdr2 both on pc, characters and location are kinda similar quality.

Let's se how scalable is the decima engine on pc.

 

[MiguelItUp]

My collector's finally shipped! All is right with the world. Come home to me BB!

 

[cormack12]

So if you fall over you just pick the cargo up and it has like a % of dmg which affects the score/likes you get at the end? Can it be destroyed if you drop it in the wild?

 

[Mista]

Umm what? Why would ingame signs have spoilers

 

[MiguelItUp]

So from what I've gathered, some packages can take more of a tumble than others. Some are immune to certain things, while others can be more prone to them. So it mixes up the objectives where some may be a cake walk, and some, not so much. It sounds like there are instances where a package CAN be destroyed.

But the part I'm wondering about is how frequently that happens. When it's gone, is it completely gone? Can you redo that mission/quest? If you redo it does the destination change? There's quite a few questions I have about it. But I'd almost rather find out on my own at this point.

That's really strange.

That's actually quite interesting, so you might have packages that are more suscpetible to water damage so a longer route that crosses water might actually be more risky than a shorter route unless you have a perfect delivery. So you'd have to balance the extra dmg modifier against the time saved. Quite intricate that

 

[Ivellios]

Is it possible to change difficulty after the game has already started? I plan to play on hard but dont know if its frustrating in this game or not.

Not sure, but it is recommended to start on hard. I read even normal is on the easier side of things. He tried to make it very salable.

Exactly! That example revolving around water damage was one I heard about it. They mentioned how you could take a risk and walk through the stream to save your personal equipment. Or use your personal equipment to be extra safe. OR you could even take a longer round about path which could be longer, but safer in the long run.

All this while there could also be pieces of equipment left from other players making the experience even better for you.

Yeah this is what i thought too after watching some reviews.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Just wanted to point out how awesome the OT is when it comes to the hyperlink strands that is connected to each of the characters and media-related images

 

[FranXico]

Umm what? Why would ingame signs have spoilers

At least this time they are being careful with spoilers. In MGSV, the mission intro credits contained major spoilers.

 

[Enjay]

Really pulling for this current-gen version of Atari E.T..

This post is the GAF equivalent of Atari's E.T.

Dump it in a landfill somewhere.

Filing this under things that sounded super clever in your head at least.

Certainly smarter than your shitposts, scrub

Now, off you go. The review thread is lovely this time of year, very warm.

Triggered virgin detected.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Some more gifs to get hyped.

This is the kind of thing I want from today’s technology, not just (very appreciated) beautiful visuals. Kojima Productions is using the superb level of animation and physics we have today, to actually do something totally different in gameplay.

Compare that to almost every other blockbuster game, wherein they play the same as roughly PS2 era games, just with an amazing presentation. Maybe you would get physics and animation sort of like this (I’d argue the bar has been raised here), but they would never factor into core gameplay.

I’m not sure how I’m going to respond to such a strange game, but DS reminds me of when games leveraged technology to do new and exciting things, and that gets me so hyped.

 

[vpance]

Need this as a wallpaper/theme

 

[Shifty]

Umm what? Why would ingame signs have spoilers

They're either player-influenced somehow or Kojima is just that big of a mad lad.

Endgame imagery on in-world billboard ads because why not.

I believe you can change difficulty at any time in the game.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

in-game spoilers is probably from the social media aspect. if someone posts a screen from the ending or tries to write certain phrases they hide it? really cool idea to me! hope it works, i'll use it for sure.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Umm what? Why would ingame signs have spoilers

YOO, WHAT THE HELL!?

 

[tfur]

Disc or Digital?

I wanted to collectors edition for the Luden keychain and the baby in the bag thing, but they were all sold out.

I guess I will go digital...

 

[Psykodad]

MiyazakiHatesKojima Thank you for the gold♥

It’s the first time I experience such thing too

It's normal when buying digital. Never been any different afaik.

Anyway, preloading rn, gonna jump in at 00.00 am on the 8th.

I was just going to say, it is probably similar to the messages in Soulsborne games with more elaboration built into it.

 

[DonF]

Can't wait to piss in all your creations!

 

[Bryank75]

OT should have been called '...and I would walk 500 more!'

Great job, I am hyped beyond words can explain.

Great review here....

 

[ManaByte]

Went digital because no one could ship it on release day at this point and you get the digital bonuses.

 

[Business]

OT title so on point I had to stop by and post.

 

[GeistUnit]

A Special Thank You To GeistUnit Because If It Weren't For Him This Wouldn't Have Happened

Thanks for your support and guiding me through the process! Was awesome fun to work on! Now another 5 years before the next KJP title hits and we do this again!

Amazing OT. Congrats Mista and GeistUnit

Appreciate it! Hope this lives up to the hype!

Big ups, Mista and GeistUnit . Smashing OT, and a nice professional opener

Its the Social Strand System in full effect!

@thelastword, this is why i wanted Mista & GeistUnit to do the OP

Easily one of the greatest OTs I've ever seen on NeoGAF!

Arigatou!!!!

Anytime fam!

This is beautiful! I love seeing the work that folks put into the OTs, it's always awesome. Kudos across the board! I've been intrigued by the look of Death Stranding's world ever since we all saw it for the first time. I can't believe it's finally coming out.

I realize this is a huge quote post but I just wanted to say, Thanks for all the kind words - was the least I could do for my appreciation / hype of all things KJP!

Does anyone know if PS Plus is required for the online functionality?

I won't lie, I'm tempted to impulse-buy the game on console, but I'd prefer to wait for PC if that means I'd have to shell out extra to get the full experience.

Explicitly stated that you do not need it for online functionality.

Ps plus is not necessary in order to play this game online
