Death Stranding 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90gpqJE-tLU

new gameplay

>acts like death stranding is art
>pretends like baby steps is not
They're the same though.

>>712331461 (OP)
Sam, Sam, he's our man!

>>712331461 (OP)
I don't want to spoil myself, but I simply can't resist. I'm going in!

How can a game make walking so much fun?

>>712331461 (OP)
is this game coming out for PC or not? it looks kino...

>>712338376
It will eventually.

>>712331461 (OP)

>>712331461 (OP)
The game is absolutely stunning and a massive improvement over DS1, holy shit.

>>712339810
>FROM THE TWISTED MIND OF HIDEO KOJIMA

>>712339810
kek Kojima added new holograms

Vastly improved map which should be extremely helpful.

>>712339816
Crazy that DS2 started as a DLC for the first game. So glad we got a full on sequel.

Damn, day and night cycles? Different biomes? Wildlife? Stuff that Sony-made Decima engine provides out of the box? Stuff that Daggerfall did 30 years ago? Absolutely stunning work, based kojima must be genius.

The music sounds great. I am fucking suffering as a PCfag. Maybe when it gets a pc release I'll have a new pc and I'll be able to enjoy it a 1440p 144 fps max settings, not sure my current one could do it. There's an album releasing this friday with some songs from the game and the different versions of to the wilder. Also Higgs did nothing wrong.

>>712339816
It's everything players ever asked for
>day night cycle
>improved combat
>lots of little things like grabbing cargo with an arm mounted on truck
>dynamic environmental hazards
>potentially dynamic BT zones
I'm not sure about the last one. In the trailer we see BTs emerge during an earthquake, so maybe. Vehicle combat on the highway also looks sick

>>712340839
DS1 was made in 3 years with a skeleton crew. All the stuff that is in DS2 would have been there otherwise.

So glad that MULEs are still a thing, loved fighting these goofballs

>>712341106
for me it was the terrorists who didnt give a shit about using live firearms and killing you

>>712341170
I guess Higgs traded his bros for robots

>>712341340
its not really a spoiler since kojima spoke about this but they are actually BTs incased in mechanics, its some ghost in the shell aesthetics, its why there is metal gear robit boss fights in Tar

>>712341340
also there is other camps other than higgs in DS1 that use live firearms like just below the snow mountain

>>712341782
Yeah I think they are called Survivalists

>>712340959
>I'm not sure about the last one. In the trailer we see BTs emerge during an earthquake, so maybe
i have a feeling that the natural disasters are not random and happen on specific places on the map

>>712341684
makes sense

>>712341026
Kojima was given fuckloads of support and backing for DS1.

>>712342020
it does once he said that the baby laughing ninja makes sense during the higgs fight

>>712342014
That would be very disappointing

kino

>>712342014
I think it goes like this

earthquakes/avalanches scripted to trigger in mountains
floods are tied to timefall
fires are started by lightning strikes

There are missions that use them as well like the Kangaroo bushfire rescue or the Neil sequences that are based around disasters.

I'm not gonna watch any trailers or gameplay because i remember 90% DS1 was spoiled in the trailers

>>712343160
Fair enough the game is 2 weeks away might as well see it all for yourself

i think itll bomb

ds1 release during the pandemic which was very cool considering the theme and everyone being at home ordering shit

>>712341026
>DS1 was made in 3 years with a skeleton crew.
Less than 3 years actually. Quite a feat with a core team size of about 50 people.

>>712344461
Why was the game so expensive

>>712342292
beautiful, Kojima cooked fr

>>712344635
It wasn't, the game cost around 100 million which is an average budget for AAA game

>>712344242
Yeah surprised this even got a sequel despite how poorly the first one did

>>712340959
DS2 hopefully also has numerous fleshed out factions. That was kind of missing in DS1.

>>712341684
>its not really a spoiler since kojima spoke about this but they are actually BTs incased in mechanics, its some ghost in the shell aesthetics, its why there is metal gear robit boss fights in Tar
Some characters in Death Stranding have a body ("ha"), but not a soul ("ka"). Deadman and Mama are good examples.

Pretty cool that it now also works the other way around. It will be interesting to find out how Higgs and his pals pulled it off.

PC RELEASE DATE? PC RELEASE DATE? PC RELEASE DATE? PC RELEASE DATE? PC RELEASE DATE? PC RELEASE DATE? PC RELEASE DATE?

>>712345409
I guess 6 months after PS like DS1

>>712345409
Buy a PS5, brokie

>>712345546
>>712345562
Shit. I really don't want to buy this for my shitty PS5 unless it's confirmed to have a perfectly stable 60fps performance mode and you don't have to pay for PS+ for the online stuff. I played DS1 on PC.

>>712345409
DS1 took around 6 months to port to PC with the Directors Cut, wouldnt surprise me a December release date for it in another directors cut version

>>712345130
First one did poorly initially but really found its audience with the PC release and director's cut. Death Stranding fans are genuinely diehard they won't let the sequel flop.

>>712345668
Journos played the game for 30 hours and said it was butter smooth on performance mode 60 fps on a BASE PS5 and if you already have a base PS5 you're totally fine, retard. No need for a pro

>>712345409
April 2026 probably.
I'll just be waiting here. Patiently.

>>712344242
>>712345130
It came out in 2019 and sold millions long before anyone was told to stay home.

>>712345668
also online is completely free, this is a Kojima game which means no microtransactions bullshit

>>712345968
Sounds awesome. What about PS+?

>>712345973
Keep on keeping on porter

>>712346063
see >>712346047

>>712346168
Damn. I thought Sony was greedy enough to gate the online stuff behind PS+.
Based Kojima, I just might get this for PS5 and then for PC again.

>>712345668
Online functionality will be the same as in DS1

>KEEP ON KEEPING ON

>Kojima used songs from the last Low Roar album
I'm gonna cry aren't I

>>712346237
You can bet without Kojima they would have put the online mode behind a paywall but thankfully Kojimbo has a lot to say since it's his IP and he said no, we're so lucky to have him

Am i the only one that plays offline doesnt build any roads or use any vehicles and tries to go through the most difficult ways to a delivery? specifically through mule camps, BTs river etc? i feel like thats the best way to enjoy this game, getting all your shit built for you and driving from one spot to another just seems braindead to me

>>712346843
It's a good challenge, but it can also get a bit tedious. I like rebuilding roads but damn fuck doing that offline.

>>712346843
No. I like building my own transport networks and integrating structures of other players into it. I think it is a lot of fun.

Granted, I have never played DS1 in offline mode, but maybe I should give it a shot.

>on top of roads and zip-line network I will now have to build a tram system as well
there goes my life

>>712347003
if the rewards are good then i dont see it as tedious like 5* a place you get lvl 3 equipment im all for that the moment it gets boring is when you are not getting rewarded for doing it, likes is just a joke thing imo offline.

>>712347201
my point is, is that DS is a post nuked world you are one man out there with a random few porters going across unhabitable landscape, the whole point of the game is the struggle of getting from A to B, this whole "connection" between players just seems like a easy mode to me and it looks like thats the case for DS2 as to why they are making the world more hostile in every department from BTs, to the weather to actual enviourment, to even wildlife i saw BT bugs at the intro section of the game, my only gripe from everything i saw was the neil fight being identical to the WW2 fight in DS1 even though it looked graphical a step above the previous title

>>712345787
>with the Directors Cut
DC released later on every platform at the same time, roughly one year after pc release I think

>>712331461 (OP)
looks like snoy finally woke up and realized they have a big game to promote...fucking californian retards

>>712348056
Base DS1 released 8 months after PS release
Directors cut was 2 years later from PS release

>>712348236
>kissing children not genetically related to you

>>712348275
DS2 PC release can't come soon enough. Hope they could include everything they wanted to, the DC of 1 was mostly stuff they didn't have time to put in. It was in the artbook, it was nice seeing it added later

>>712340959
>It's everything players ever asked for
Sam needs a Walkman.

That is all.

>>712348520
I think he gets one, I remember reading something like that but that may not have been true. It was a big complaint from players not to have one, would be retarded not to include it in 2

>>712348520
>Sam needs a Walkman.
He gets one in DS2, you can unlock tons of songs and even create your own playlist

>>712348457
since DS1 was 8 months i can see a December release for Christmas sales which is 7 months from the june release, then a re-release on PS and PC for the directors cut a year or two later i think maybe a year as kojima will probably have his studio focus on the 2 new games he got for sony and microsoft, but then again might get lucky and have that in decemeber as all the DLC stuff isnt much to add when you got 2 base games to work with alongside all the people he is in talks with, like for example i can see more hololive characters since pekora is in as a example and thats a quick thing to add things of that nature i dont see a expansion or anything like that being added its just small director cut things being added i can see

>>712348725
>>712348702
>>712348520
you have a walkman for music when outside but you have to be in the chiral network to use it and it uses battery

/kjpg/bros, will the general return ?

>>712331461 (OP)
I hope the PC port comes asap
just watched the gameplay that released 2 days ago, massive improvement over DS1.

>>712349017
Yes and this is good because in areas you haven't been before you will still get these unforgettable kino moments like in the first game with Asylums for the Feeling, you can only use the walkman after you connected the new area to the chiral network which is good

TO THE WILDER
TO THE WILDER

>>712349669
yeah i agree, its new areas that wont be connected either so it makes sense

>>712346843
by the time the game turned into highway simulator I was near the end anyway.
It basically served as a way to speed up the final journey back to base

>>712349903
>by the time the game turned into highway simulator
see thats why i play offline and build no roads it shouldnt turn into that imo

>>712349903
Having to go all the way back but doing it in 5 minutes because of all the connections was a great feeling

No Low Roar No Buy

>>712350453
Low Roar is in the game, tracks from the House in the Woods album were used.

Fuck yeah, DS2 has been improved in every thinkable way.

>No Pc
I NO FUCKING RIKE

>>712331461 (OP)
Man, Timefall exposure sure hasn't been kind to Sam.

>>712331461 (OP)
Looks great, shame its launching on PS5. I'm a PCfangay.

>>712340589
This is nice, I thought the map was worthless in the first game.

>>712331461 (OP)
Boring ass turd movie game with no actual gameplay (delivery is not a gameplay)

>>712346410
oh damn, I didn't even know the guy died, that's sad

>>712346843
This is fine if you're going for a casual playthrough but if I tried to platinum the game offline I probably would've killed myself.

>>712348337
>he doesn't know

>>712352030
casual to me is being online having people build your stuff for you

>>712352095
You literally can't S rank some of the timed deliveries without an autistic zip line network.

>>712345798
>powered by metahuman
i thought they were scanned?

>>712352157
i disagree you just need to carry speed skeleton alongside terrain skeletonand some well positioned bridges

>>712352392
I guess it's possible but it's too annoying. The timed delivery missions in general were annoying mostly because there weren't very many of them so getting 20 for the trophy was really annoying and getting 60 grade for timed deliveries was especially annoying.

>>712350953
Doesn't look like there's many upgrades. How short is this game?

>>712331461 (OP)
Did anyone in here play DS1 at all?

I hope they nerf ziplines so they can only go downwards.
They are clearly OP for deliveries especially since the director's edition allowed you to carry two carts onto them

>>712352928
I did
the original pirated version, was kino.

>>712352975
Make them deteriorate faster to fix the issue. Repairs should work at any zip line node point.

>>712352726
Previewers had 30 hours to play through the first 40٪ of the game so it's probably 50-100 hours

>>712353017
But then you missed out on making frens and connections! .w.

>>712349669
That's actually the best possible implementation of something like that. Goddamn.

>>712353242
i don't mind desu

>>712331461 (OP)
I'm pretty sure it's Tommie Earl Jenkins speaking in the middle part so I guess Die-Hardman is back after all. Weird that they haven't shown him at all in all those trailers.

>>712353431
There's a filter over the voice, I'm sure there'll be a moment where characters go wooooooow how could we have guessed it was you ?

>>712353732
You thought it was Easy-Livingman speaking to you but all this time it was actually me, Die-Hardman!

>>712353431
I guess die-hardman...dies hard

>>712351649
Do you not have a PS5?

>>712354464
No. Why would I?

I want this game to be good so badly

>>712354604
there's no way kojima will have time to do a 3rd so this one is all or nothing

>>712354572
To play Death Stranding 2, Demon's Souls and Astro Bot

>>712331461 (OP)
Looks like they didnt update the physics at all. Animations are all reused. Environments are still empty wastelands with nothing to discover or interact with. Looks very meh

>>712353431
He voices the Charlie the mannequin thing. Apparently it also speaks with other old character's voices sometimes. Who fucking knows what that means.

>>712355024
Good

>>712331461 (OP)
Does Sam have a personality in this one?

>>712344242
It released a year before the pandemic. Although when the pandemic hit it probably saw a boost in sales

>>712355208
he's been showing more emotion in these trailers than the entirety of DS1. Now that he's finally past his touch phobia and mommy issues

>>712350953
There isnt enough variety or depth to the gameplay for these to actually do anything interesting.

>>712331461 (OP)
nortubel rip off

You could really tell during that presentation with Geoff that Kojima rarely actually sees gameplay from Death Stranding and just focuses on the cinematics and vague ideas

>>712353242
playing it online ruined the game for me. I would enter a new area and there would already be roads, zip lines and ladders etc. everywhere making traversal a joke.

>>712355739
Fair point, but then Kojima should have made it so that online activates after you finish the main plot. The shelters and generators were nice though.

>>712354832
lol.

>>712331461 (OP)
Playing the first one right at launch on base PS4 was a magical experience. I'll never forget /v/'s reaction at the time, dogshit board that kept saying the same parroted eceleb opinion. Fuck all of you.

Need more footage of the preggo

kojima literally made a career out of being a poser hack

>>712357287
do you know what poser hack means?

>>712357397
yes

>>712357714
what do those words mean then?

>>712355208
Yeah. The tomorrow girl and the chink girl sung a song and the doll guy joined in too and then afterwards Sam said the doll guy sucked at singing and then Sam was whistling the song afterwards and the doll guy made fun of Sam.

>>712357781
"Poser Hack" as an Insult or Criticism
"Poser" is slang for someone who pretends to be something they’re not—often used in subcultures (like skateboarding, punk, gaming, etc.).

"Hack" can mean someone who is incompetent or untalented, especially in creative or technical fields (e.g., "a hack writer").

So "poser hack" together could mean:

"Someone who pretends to be skilled or authentic but actually lacks real talent or knowledge."

Example:

"That guy acts like a cybersecurity expert, but he’s just a poser hack."

>>712357869
DS2 Sam is so based. I always thought he should have gone after Fragile at the end of the first game.

>>712344635
>Why was the game so expensive
advertising and the b-list actors

>>712346004
>long before anyone was told to stay home.
kek you stayed at home? cuck

>>712346047
>this is a Kojima game which means no microtransactions bullshit

>>712361089
What did you expect from Pachinko overlords? DS has none of that shit.

>>712361089
Kojima not Konami, zoom zoom. Kojima would have never added this shit

>>712361245
>Kojima not Konami, zoom zoom. Kojima would have never added this shit

/v/…

>>712362131
IF THERE EVER WAS A THREAD NOT TO FUCK UP
IT'S THIS ONE
DO IT FOR AMERICA

>>712359269
I've got some good news for you anon.

>>712346047
Technically you get the silver and gold skeletons and one other minor thing I think for pre-ordering the Digital Deluxe edition.

>I’M GONNA FUCK YOUR DAUGHTER, SAM!

>>712361567
Do you see "A Hideo Kojima Game" anywhere? Kojima wasn't working at Konami anymore when they announced this shit, god you fucking zoomers are so braindead it's truly believable. Stop trying with your stupid GOTCHA moments when you weren't even alive when this game came out ffs

>>712362604
I SLIPPED HER THE OL TENTACLE SAM
HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES
YOU FUCKED UP MY FACE NOW IM GONNA FUCK YOUR DAUGHTER

>>712331461 (OP)
I don't get it this game, it's all over the place

>>712362356
>cute short-haired tomboy Fragile
Fuck... Sam won big.

>>712362325
/v/. You can't post this thread here, that board is off limits

>>712362953
you're all over the place and frankly I'm getting tired of your posts just throwing that out there

>>712331461 (OP)
This was the best DS trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ZLa1Z9-M8

i won't play new Death Stranding, because i know they will release director's cut edition 2 years after

>>712363430
Launch trailer made me tear up while watching... so beautiful...

https://youtu.be/tCI396HyhbQ

>>712331461 (OP)
I swear to god if Kojima pulls an MGS2 and makes me play as fat ass Elle fanning, I won't do anything but I will goon to her and then not finish it.

>>712363460
Kojima already said nothing like that is planned, he's getting old, he wants to move on to OD and Physint.

>>712363460
Not happening when they already have two more games in development. DC was only made because of the pandemic delaying development of 2.

>>712363727
i say bullshit

>>712363848
Ok then wait for 2 years while getting everything spoiled... have fun kek

>>712364054
it's been like 5 years since first DS and i haven't been spoiled yet so whatever
now im out of this thread before you spoil me

>>712364441
dumblehardman dies and darth coldman is you from the future

I still get goosebumps after all this time...

https://youtu.be/RhseWPWYPBA

>>712364441
Good, one fucking idiot less in this thread and if you quote me again I'll spoil the even living shit out of you, now piss off bitch

I hate that I won't be able to spend 18 hours a day transferring materials to build a highway to get millions of likes.

Wake me up when it releases for pc, not buying a ps5 for one game

>>712364552
Holy fuck...

>>712331461 (OP)
>zip lines again

ruined

>>712331647
imagine...

>>712363694
You’re gonna play as Stranded Snake

Kojima won

>>712365028
Don't use them, autist? And if you hate options disconnect from online with hosts file.

>>712345409
How does it feel having to wait for a big release like DS2? Seem to be happening more often lately with the last three Final Fantasy games, Stellar Blade and now DS2, not to mention GTA 6. Are you guys that broke or worse, actually believe /v/s whole ''console bad'' thing?

>>712370390
I like to play games at native 1440p/144 fps, or at the very least 100+ fps, all while having graphics to the max with the trash like motion blur etc disabled. DS2 is the only game I've been interested in in years, but I can't justify buying a console for one game no matter how much I love the game. Can't say that I give a shit about other big releases like the ones you mentionned

>>712331647
I honestly don't think I have enough storage on my PS5 for the amount of Elle screenshots I plan on taking.

>>712370390
PC is objectively the best I still have a huge backlog of games, I'm so glad I moved over to pc a few years back. DS2 will be on pc in a few months with all the patches and fixes included.

>>712371117
basado
also I wonder if this photo mode with the girls is a script moment of you can do that at any time, shit almost looks like an interactive cutscene

>>712370390
PS5 just sucks ass. I do have one, but I'd rather play this on PC.
GTA6 is the most normalfag game ever, thoughbeit. If you're hyped for it, you're a turbonormalfag.

>>712372239
can you try fitting more buzzwords next time?

>>712373147
I obviously can, give me a minute i'll ask chatgpt.

>>712342128
is the baby laughing ninja going to be lou?

>barely any new gadget sprinkled in all the trailers
>same basic terrain for you to transverse, some are clearly cutscene only like the rocky mountain desert
>MULE combat looks the same (not a strong point of DS1)
>monster combat looks the same (worst part of DS1)
I don't understand the marketing at all, just fucking show new stuff if you have it, game is out in two weeks.

>>712344461
They had to hurry up and get it done before covid, since there are too many parallels that would have made people uncomfortable.

>>712374873
you seem to be literally blind bro
they've shown ton of improvement and new stuff

>>712374873
Kojima already said he doesn't want to reveal too much and this is a good thing but it will be a very special game.

>>712375257
Mono-rail, the new vehicle robot arm system, environmental events aaaaaaand that's basically it. Sorry bro that's not a ton.

>>712374873
You have this guy and then you have other Niggaz be like:
> OMFG KOJIMA WHY DO YOU SHOW SO MUCH, THE GAME IS COMING OUT IN TWO WEEKS STOP PLEASE!!

>>712375480
That's cool and all jeet-san, but that doesn't make me want to buy a ps5 so I can play it early, something I was considering. Not blind spending 600 bucks because Kojimbo said it will be good.

>>712376054
then wait for the reviews and decide then, brainlet

>>712376432
You lost me, kys.

>>712374873
>i want everything spoiled for me before i buy the game or i won't buy it
I will never understand this mentality, why does everything have to be exposed in trailers or gameplay showcases? Can't some or even most elements of a game be a surprise to players so when they play the game they're not just remembering or experiencing something they've already seen/witnessed?

>>712378243
Every game shows something, we still don't have a flat gameplay trailer yet. If I am not mistaken DS1 was the same shit, and I personally believe the game perception suffered because of it.

>>712331461 (OP)
Is he still planning on trooning out the game?

>>712379568
different game, dumbass

i'll play it for she

>>712380256
noes ruins it

Less than two weeks remain...

>>712345340
>now
sis your amelie?

>>712344461
BOY HE THICC

>>712383530
Beat it, homo.

>>712331461 (OP)
if lou is all grown up and went missing/dead, whos in that bb pod?

>>712389803
It's a BT BB, tentacle abomination something

A
FUCKING
ROO'

>>712358025
Anon's been real quiet since this dropped...

>>712358025
ok

>>712365028
Building your zip line network is one of the best parts of the game tho.

This look way more in depth than the first game, wonder if those stats actually matter this time

>>712400000
Quints of truth

>>712348520
For audiologs mostly

I hope the game doesn't expect you to remember everything that happened in the first game and all the mechanics

>>712340959
I have a ps5 but renewing ps+ just for this game... I think I'm going to sell it and just wait for the pc release

>>712352928
>Did anyone in here play DS1 at all?
Yeah. On PS4 and now also on PC.

It is one of the most unique and fun games I've ever played. Only a creative genius like Kojima could turn the concept of delivering packages into a fun game.

>>712401715
You don't need the ps+ for the online

>>712401815
What, really? Source?

>>712401897
It was that way for the first game, I believe it's the same for the second game

>>712363646
In hindsight this contains so many story spoilers, I'll probably avoid the launch trailer for DS2.

>>712401946
Hm, I'll wait and see then

>>712401661
I’m sure they’ll teach you as you unlock stuff like the first game. You’ll probably be on your own story wise

Nice. It is great to see that Kojima got a lot more funding from Sony to make DS2 a much more fleshed out game after DS1 almost won GOTY. The development team clearly had to cut a lot of corners in DS1 in order to not go over budget (they did it masterfully though, because DS1 still feels like a full game).
