In late September 2022, a private document from Sony Interactive Entertainment was leaked on ResetEra by user Arubedo . A spreadsheet appearing to list forthcoming PlayStation titles, the document is dated 2021 and includes a game called Ocean, which was attributed to Kojima Productions. Leaker Dusk Golem on ResetEra claimed that Ocean is, in fact, a codename for Death Stranding 2, Kojima's next game . According to Insider Gaming , Dusk Golem has a track record for reliable leaks in the horror genre, so while some have questioned the authenticity of the leaked document, there are reasons to believe in its accur
There are a lot of stressful encounters in Red Dead Redemption 2 , especially with the player’s horse. Players will develop a close bond with their horse, and if the horse is attacked by an animal, falls off a cliff, or is shot at, the player could lose the horse they love. This is just one example of the stresses of Red Dead Redemption
Not only is there a vastness to the map size in Elden Ring , but there is no real motive or direction other than what the player makes of it. The enemies can be extremely hard to fight , and quests are obscured. As such, players need to figure out their own jour
Hideo Kojima, creator of cinematic games like Death Stranding and the Metal Gear series, among other titles, is often described as an auteur of video games, because of his enigmatic style and the artistic vision he brings to creating playable worlds. Judging from the leaks surrounding his latest project, Kojima might also be described as an auteur of hype, for the masterful way he has built interest around and enthusiasm for his games without actually confirming anything. This is clear from his handling of the Reedus "leaks," which may not even have been leaks so much as carefully scripted reveals orchestrated by Kojima hims
In the statement on ResetEra, Dusk Golem stated definitively that Death Stranding 2 is in development and that its internal codename is Ocean . They went on to assert that the game is part of a standing deal between Kojima and Sony and that any reports suggesting otherwise or mentioning other parties should be rejected. This comment is apparently a reference to another rumor claiming Death stranding 2 vehicles Stranding 2 is the game Kojima is making for Xbox , which is suspected to be codenamed or titled Overdose . However, given that Sony owns the trademarks on Death Stranding (this again per Insider Gaming), it is highly unlikely it would have ever allowed Kojima to make a sequel exclusively for Micros
There’s so much beauty in Death Stranding . Not only from the open world but for the emotional connection to other characters. This does not stop the game from being stressful, as they play as a glorified delivery man, trying to deliver parcels to people who are hidden away in bunkers while the player fights MULEs and
After Mona Sax and Max Payne finally let their passion blossom into something meaningful, Max is asked a telling question about what he wants just before they pounce upon each other. This follows an incredible delivery by James McCaffrey as he talks about all the things Max wants, ranging from a glass of whiskey to wishing that his wife and child would come back. It ends with a poignant line stating that, in that moment, what he wanted the most was Mona and nothing e
Though Sovereign oddly embellishes some details and appears to give away too much context for the ‘mortals’, Sovereign’s authority and kernels of truth about existence within the monologue can’t help but strike a chilling yet resonating chord in play
Video games have also showcased some incredible and iconic story points and climaxes. From multiple perspectives regarding topics about life, death, the human condition, and godhood, there have been several video games that feature some incredible monologues, all thanks to superb writing, direction, and top-notch acting. These particular video game monologues can come across differently depending on the game. Some are cinematic and are akin to films whilst others are addressed directly to the player and can even be interactive, creating an experience that is truly unlike any ot
Theron's Furiosa was the breakout character of Fury Road , and her versatility as a performer would allow her to inhabit nearly any new character that Kojima dreams up. Performing in a _Death Stranding _ sequel would introduce Theron to a new fanbase, and an actor of her caliber appearing in a video game is likelier now more than ever thanks to Kojima and other auteur creat
Among even the most avant-garde tabletop RPGs, few match Death Stranding’s strange surrealism . A version of America that looks like Iceland, that one can walk across in a few hours, could be considered part of that surrealism. The void of animal life and the presence of ghosts and cargo-mad delivery personnel add to that feeling as well. Even before the pandemic forced people to question their notion of reality and realize that human vulnerability to disease crosses the borders drawn on maps, Kojima saw the changes taking place, and made a game to reflect those. The USA was chosen as a setting both for its highly visible role in world politics, and due to the obvious, growing polarization among its people. It is almost a given to note than any modern story about a post-apocalyptic future carries a metaphor for climate change, and likewise Death Stranding’s inhospitable America can also be seen through that l
