Hideo Kojima Shares More Death Stranding 2 Teasers Ahead of Gamescom
Kojima’s shenanigans continue, but at least its something we can understand this time.
Shioli Kutsuna plays Rainy, an expecting mother hoping to have a healthy child who will grow up to become an adult.
The goofy puppet-looking fellow Sam carries around is the aptly namedDollman, voiced by Turkish-German director Fatih Akin.
The new faces join the classic star-studded cast comprised ofNorman Reedus (as Sam Bridges), Léa Seydoux (Fragile), and Nicolas Refn (Heartman).
Heartman deserves a shoutout for his impeccable fashion sense in this trailer,combining his classic suit with an exoskeleton and heart-shaped glasses.
The Best Photo Mode Ever In A Video Game?
What we call “photo mode” normally follows a simple formula.Time stops, you move the floating camera position around, switch between static poses, maybe throw a filter over it and bam, you have a photo capture.
That might look great, butthat is a screenshot machine, not an actual photo mode.Death Stranding 2: On The Beachwill change that. Those who have experience with Polaroid and Instax cameras know the drill.
It goes like this:your friends gather together, strike a dozen dumb poses, and laugh at the silliness of it all.
You hit the shutter button at the most unflattering moment to capturea washed-out, overexposed, flash-bombed picture that has soul.
InDeath Stranding 2,characters pose and interact with each other and their environment based on their personality and mood. The result is the closest you can get to a real photo without an analogue camera.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beachiscoming in 2025, andit does not seem like it will be in the first half of the year. Kojima is no stranger toblowing deadlines.
The Tokyo Game Show showcase was running on the PlayStation 5 Pro, and though the console’s price remains ludicrous, it is hard to deny thatDeath Stranding 2looked fantastic on it.
Death Stranding 2’s Story Was Written Specifically For Elle Fanning, Says Kojima
He was willing to rewrite the game if they didn’t manage to cast her.
