I hate Death Stranding so much, it's a waste of everybody's time. It's a waste of the player's time, it's a waste of all the actors time, it's a waste of Kojima's time, the whole Death Stranding concept is just time being wasted.

I hate Konami for firing Kojima instead of letting him work on Metal Gear until he dropped dead, now he can just deliver mid-tier games with pretty graphics and Hollywood actors and everyone just think it's the greatest thing ever made.

Watch PCfags say it'll look better on PC somehow. I'm not even a PS fanboy anymore since I switched over to Xbox four months ago, but I must admit it looks fantastic for a console exclusive.

I think it shows that you can have PC level visuals on consoles with competent developers. DS1 didn't even look bad to me when it first launched.

>>713591951
What game are you talking about? Plenty of games on consoles use FSR2 or run at ~1080p TAA output, shit sucks.

>>713577635
light doesnt work that way and bad visuals overuse light and white to present fake details for the eye catch
its like how all hollywood movies use white lights behind the camera to glow up uggos , but this engine does it for everything everywhere all at once
so the background looks like shit because there isnt a single dark spot or shadow that isnt painted directly on the terrain

>>713588327
>>713588150
no the real reason its upscaled and overcompressed
thats what happens when you try to overrender a 720p game made for consoles to the point of 5k or w/e the fuck resolution thats supposed to be

It will, because it'll have DLAA/DLSS. Death Stranding 1 with DLAA looks like it has twice the resolution compared to the console version.

The forest looks diffusively lit from all directions apart from a spot next to the player. But the undersides of the leaves are very dark and the topsides light like they are thick leaves directly lit by a strong light.

Autism verdict: the ambient light levels should be higher the undersides of the leaves should pick up more light from below and sides.

>>713592440

>>713597461
It was literally a gameplay showcase

>>713597463
It's not about the fidelity of the rocks, but how many rocks there is shown at once, and it's more rocks than any other game I have seen so it wins. Also, the rocks are placed in a very kino aesthetic way that ties the environment together, a feat only the genius mastermind Kojima could achieve.

>>713597461
not OP here
it certainly does

>>713597596
no it doesn't, that is screenshot mode. the game renders at the highest settings for 1 frame and then falls back to the lowest settings for play. again, how are you tricked by this? they have been doing this for a decade now

See: chirality, or 'handedness'.
The biggest narrative theme of DS is left/right handed molecules and their absolute incompatibility - a direct conflict for a game about building bridges; there is one gap that seemingly can not be crossed. For example, the gap between life and death, and yet, BBs somehow do just that.
But there are other gaps.
This in mind, a character with only single 'handedness' would probably be a character that can't by any means cross a particular gap or else utterly incompatible with _mcgufin_

>>713597847

PC did jack shit to the game, in 2021 it sold over 5 million copies combined, with more than 4 million on PlayStation, at best it was the directors cut who enhanced sales

>>713599003
cute. yes, okay, your 500 dollar console runs games better than a 4000 dollar pc. i believe you! im sure its a silky smooth 360 fps too, apparently. im meant to believe in magic, fuck it, its a vr game too. sweet, thank you kojima. i am such an easily manipulated retard, whisper sweet lies please

If the game releases on consoles first, I'm pirating it when it comes to PC, simple as.

Unfortunately none of this is true

713574156
looks unnatural like it was painted into the world by a brush. all the peaks are the same height in areas and features are all equally rough, features like that would naturally over time smooth out at points with rain and sediment build up. given there's earthquakes in the game it makes no sense that the mountains are all the same height and equally rough. stuff in the distance is blurred which makes no sense at that distance but they didn't want to bring the fog further forward.

Sam is looking down onto a distant city but feels like they used local lighting done at the same height. So the city looks like it's getting zero sunlight when in reality at that distance the sun would be higher up and the light would diffuse shadows a lot more at that distance. Same for the cliffs in the background, they're not that steep to have such dark shadows so it just looks wrong.

DS always looked at it's best with foggy/rainy conditions and green rolling hills, somebody in art direction managed to wrangle the autist in and knew that certain stuff like grass and fog would be far more forgiving for the artists. Grass can be fairly uniform to the human eye and fog is the industry standard for dealing with render distance. so in that scenario you can just focus on the geography

with mountains there's way more ambition here than it looks like they were prepared for but honestly not a terrible job considering the challenge

>>713574085 (OP)
I haven't seen much gameplay, but this soundtrack sounds amazing.
But yt content controls are already giving me niggles, so I might pass.

>>713586416
No this looks boring.
I like the Fallout vibes DS2's setting gives... but I haven't seen much interesting gameplay yet and I don't want a mere walking simulator.
I also like the conspiracies he flirts with from the start that parallel with our world. That's giving me MGS/Kojima vibes BIG time.

Something about US takeovers of Mexico and proxy colonialism? That's actually quite relevant right now and nobody talks about it. Neato.

>>713592902
I haven't, but I nearly did when a package of games from MGS1-5 was on sale for dirt cheap. Now it's hundreds of dollars so I might never play it. Hundreds for games that are decades old. Fucking Konami.

I've been wanting to play his games since I saw PT and I've been hearing about MGS for decades now. As a kid I just couldn't find it on the shelf when I was out buying. Odd. I definitely was seeking it too.
Both real and pirated games (for Ps2 back then).

Should I get a PS5 right now knowing that it'll also serve for GTA VI or I should wait the PC version of DS2?

>>713574085 (OP)
Imagine this in a MGS game.

>>713600350
Nobody is because everyone uses Unreal and nobody using it understands it well enough to optimise it well aside from the makers of the engine. This is why in house engines was always a thing.

They all sorta look samey now too.

>>713603191
I'm not gonna play GTA VI, but damn this game might almost sell it for me.

>>713603191
PC version is coming in October allegedly, so unless you're really into GTA, no.

>>713603474
nta but October? Thats way sooner than i expected, hope its true.

>>713603474
>PC version is coming in October
Fake and gay. There's no way DS2 comes to PC before 2028. It's at least 3 years exclusive because it's made, funded, and published by Sony. It might never come to PC since Sony seems to be pulling back on PC releases because people bitched about PSN so much.

>>713603778
nta but DS1 came to PC like 6 months after the PS release.

>>713576547
kek

>>713603868
Yeah, but it was published by 505 Games. Sony has the exclusive rights to DS2. They're the only ones who can publish it on PC and they WILL require PSN for online, guaranteed, meaning it'll only be available in about 30 countries.

>>713574359
The texture blending between the rocks and the ground on the middle right is god awful holy shit, and the rock itself looks stretched.
Everything else looks pretty nice.

>>713605114
Sony is the publisher and rights holder. Kojima Productions is just the developer. I don't think Sony develops any games.

>>713605615
it won't even release on Shitch 2 kek

>>713576051
it's nothing when compared to MGS5, that shit was insane

10% of this long ass fucking game spend on Kojima congratulating himself in various credits scenes

>>713603346
Yeah fuck it I found a used mint condition PS5 Pro with it's disc at $600
>>713603474
Yeah I grew up with V and I'm waiting that fucking game since, thx anon, also October is too early and Sony fully owns the IP I think it'll release in like 2028

Like 4 controllers.
4.
Fuck Sony.

the dick riding will continue until moral improves

>completely barren of life or creativity.

Is kojimbo finally being honest to his cult?

>>713606769
It's a pity it's stuck on the PS5 because I think the engine is respectable. Some of the physics I don't think are achievable in Unreal.
I guess this is what Kojima was really focused on - the engine. It might not look as pretty, but it does work in ways I don't think Unreal captures right. Some of the movement just looks much better than Unreal.

>>713606790
I have a dualsense for PC since like 21, daily drive for pc games and had 0 problems, is it known or you're just unlucky?

>>713574085 (OP)
looks good to me

>>713606935
It's well known. They rely on peripherals for most of their profit. Let's be real, anon.

It's like the Wii and it's remote, or the Switch with it's controller. Both consoles are doing this shit and it is the number one reason I haven't bought a console in 20 years.
That said I only have this PS5 because the last user literally just disappeared without a trace (I'm not even joking - we waited for him to collect it and he didn't). I almost feel like it's tainted now.

>>713606905
Exclusives and engines tied to one platform should be the norm
It would only push more console hardware and enable crazy visuals from teams that know the hardware like the back of their hand and build around it

“You touch me and my pregnant man again and you’re gonna have a mental breakdown on your hands!”

That being said, they weren't in good condition. Dust and fur all over them. Maybe that killed them.
They were so bad they made me literally sick until I cleaned them over and over again. Like a coat of shit all over them. I have never seen controllers in such a state before.

>>713575969
kindly delete this post sir...

>>713574085 (OP)
somehow v will say that it's not kino, im tired of being a contrarian

>>713607282
Jesus fuck anon how can you bare used controllers? Imagine if prev owners scratched his balls and touched the controller again. Even with the used PS5 Pro I found I plan to buy a brand new controller for it

>>713577458
now let's see anon's "real time released videogame gameplay with frametime metrics"

>>713607228
Eh, nah.
What it will really do is have games made by people that will never properly understand the consoles abilities like the n64 or the PS2. And those abilities simply aren't worth it. You might as well just nail the PC port, that way you can just recommend high performance specs if you fuck things up.

I understand limitations do force creative programming, but generally it's a negative. Especially when you have to make your own engine work around a specific exotic computer architecture like the PS5 (though it's not nearly as bad as the PS2 and PS3 or the notorious N64 - holy fuck that was a machine for it's time and nobody knew how to use it kek).

>>713607418
>Jesus fuck anon how can you bare used controllers?
I honestly can't, but I perservered.

I am a clean freak with most peripherals (except keyboard because that's a real pain in the ass). I scrubbed the outsides and eventually the insides too when they weren't working right.
I had discovered online that DS4 and DS5 controllers all had design flaws with the joystick.

These things were built to not last long.

>>713607562
>PS5
>exotic computer architecture
Its literally a PC in a box

>>713607865
is your pc not in a box?

>>713607859
Even worse now since they can upload updates to controllers to intentionally sabotage them over time. I remember during a PS4 update me and multiple friends had the same drift issue all around the same time where the controller was unusable after a month or so and it was right after an update. It was no coincidence.

>>713607562
PS2? I thought it was the PS3 that was treated like a UFO that nobody could program for
>>713607865
PS5 has unified memory with non standard pc components, with it's own library on the software side

They both were, they just didn't use the PS2's crazy modular processor architecture as a marketing point so people don't talk about it. The famous cell architecture was basically just a refinement of what was already going on in the PS2

>>713607865
After the PS2/3?
Really?
I thought I heard it was complicated to program though?
Then again, I'll bet they tried to avoid the PS3's issues right?

>>713608882
you're telling me that if we hired 60 autistic monkeys, they could make MGS 4 run on the PS2?

>>713609462
It was just the same IDEA, a bunch of processors with their own memory that could be dynamically assigned to different tasks by programs instead of a discrete CPU and GPU. The PS3 still had much faster processors and much more memory

>>713610639
On disc? No. Digital? Maybe, I didn't touch my ps4 for like 2 years and my digital Death Stranding was still here with no internet check required

It had a GPU though, the RSX based on the geforce 7800 (Sony and Nvidia needs to come back together)

>>713609554
why does this and some other UE games looks plastic and somewhat unnatural while
games like rdr2, KCD, Death stranding (i played the first one) (not to mention older games)
have a sense and a touch of reality and comfort ,they look less neat but more natural and messy
i think it's some design principals not all devs are aware of

>that 1 based literal pedophile that actively groomed children that put viruses on ps5s, probably to score more real loli
Well I didn't know about that one until now thanks to looking into the architecture and finding out about it on a reverse engineer forum.

Why? Even on console it looks like dogshit. Remember, this is the version you all shilled for YEARS. This is what impressed you.

Do people really care about rock textures and plants clipping through rocks?
That's the most pedantic shit possible.
The game looks boring, and the first game WAS boring. That's why it will suck, not because of some shit only autists with too much time on their hands will even notice.

>>713600350
>ony and Rockstar are the only ones pushing graphics
when was the last time sony was pushing graphics? they dont release any first party games and when they did everything was cross platform with ps4.
even that intergalactic game from naughty dog isnt pushing graphics because theyre going for 60fps so it looks almost identical to uncharted 4 visually lol

>>713574085 (OP)
The second that this retard discovered open-world games was the second that he stopped being able to make kino. Very few developers have ever made an open-world game with an engaging story because the format doesn't easily lend itself to good storytelling.
It works in Elden Ring because the world itself is a part of the story and the areas give you clues as to what happened in the past.
In most games (RDR2, MGS5 and DS) traversing vast areas is just a fucking chore and if you get sidetracked along the way or lost, you lose interest in the story.
Kojima was famous for tight, action-packed stories that were similar to playing action movies.
How many action movies are there where the protagonist just wanders around aimlessly doing nothing for hours wondering where he was supposed to be heading to?
