Death Stranding

[BinnZ]

Unfortunately this game only comes out on PS4, because this really is a title I would want to get. It's an adventure game that basically only focusses on you transporting 'stuff' from A to B, through a vast and wild countryside.
Somehow the makers have managed to make that interesting enough to enjoy, and combined it with a good story. There's even a multiplayer, where people w0#k together almost unnoticed. I find that very intriguing.

Here's 2018's E3 trailer:

And here the launch trailer. Damn I hate those PS4 exclusives

The first vid:

"Potentially inappropriate video
To view this video, please confirm you are old enough by entering your birth date."

I hate it. It requires me to go to my google account or create one and all that, leave personal data that I wish to keep to myself (at least I don't want to give it to google et alii) and to top it off, I could pretend to be the Highlander born a few centuries ago and they couldn't prove me wrong. Any child can click itself to adulthood and watch this potentially inappropriate video.

And now comes a magic trick.. here.. I can watch it here in this post.. no need to tell them I'm old enough. All I did is remove the time stamp ("time_continue=72&") so it actually embeds and embedded vids don't ask your age.

I just finished watching those two. Almost studied them

Great names in that production. Hideo Kojima used to w0#k for Konami and later worked with Sony. I know his name in relation to Metal Gear, a series that started as early as 1987. I also like Mads Mikkelsen a lot since I first saw him in Adam's Apples from 2005. And whoa, Guillermo del Toro.. he's crazy I know him since and from The Devil's Backbone (el espinazo del diablo) from 2001.

All that is kind of pointing into one direction: this game is likely going to be an intense experience.

Let's watch a playthrough on YouTube

It will launch on PC next year in summer 2020



Skill Up's review of the game. Some outlets find it's gameplay slow and stale, althought praise are given to it's gameplay elements (the online world is affected by other player's action, including your own)

It looks quite interesting, and something that is worth getting.

The player looks like Norman Reedus who plays Daryl on the Walking Dead.

That is good news! I'll definitely keep this one on my radar for next year

That is Norman Reedus from Walking Dead. I saw some videos of this and was a bit confused, they never really say what the game is about. Looks really cool though....

Pre-purchase is available now on Steam; Launch on July the 14th!!!!!

[BinnZ]

I'm crazy. I did it. Again. I pre-purchased. Fingers crossed

[LowPolyOWG]

Enjoy your postman walking simulator

[Art Blade]

yeah Not too long ago, I watched an entire playthrough. I won't spoil anything, though.

I saw it on steam and thought, "Binn is going to be excited."

[Dweller_Benthos]

Yeah back when it was released on PS4 I watched the first hour of the game, 45 minutes of that was cut scenes. Not that that's a bad thing, but even then I was still scratching my head as to what the game is about. It's like you're getting to a movie halfway into the story and you have to figure it out from there. Looks really cool though, but yeah, confusing.

First impressions: The game is something totally different. The graphics are amazing. The sound intriguing and so far, the general gameplay immersive. Gotta go further later, will keep you posted
