Most Impractical Inventions In Sci-Fi Games Ranked
Hideo Kojima, creator of cinematic games like Death Stranding 2 story guide 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 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
As a game, Metro: Last Light boasts a minimal HUD and focuses on immersing the player in a creepy, mysterious world. There are various mutated creatures that pose an intense threat to those living within the post-apocalyptic metro environment, and sometimes, survival means staring a hulking creature in the eyes, so it doesn't att
There's something inherently terrifying about the concept of an apocalypse . It's the end of all things; the cessation of the human race, and in some cases, life itself, on a global scale. However, where video games are concerned, the post-apocalypse is one of the most tantalizing, exciting settings to explore, and in the last twenty years or so, players have relished the idea of journeying through the end of the wo
To help the player feel not so alone, or bored while walking, a music player should be integral for the sequel. The game needs to pick the licensing rights to the songs it wants carefully, as some songs may not be to everyone’s taste, but one would think the advanced technology in Death Stranding , one would invent a music pla
For example, following Reedus’ comment in an interview with men’s lifestyle site Leo Edit in May 2022, Kojima's humorous tweet addressed Death Stranding 2 by telling Reedus to go to his " private room ," a reference to Death Stranding ’s __ safe rooms. The playfulness of Kojima’s response (which included a photo of himself threatening Reedus with a Negan-esque, wire-wrapped baseball bat à la The Walking Dead ) suggested to some observers that rather than an accidental slip, Reedus’s leak might have been a coordinated effort on the part of the game’s creator. Kojima added fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding Death Stranding 2 at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2022, where a QR code at the Kojima Productions booth linked to a poster containing several Death Stranding symbolic references and a woman’s silhouette overwritten by the words " Who am
There’s a uniqueness to boss fights in video games, as these are not just ordinary enemies. They have character, and history, and seek to serve a purpose in stopping the protagonist. Death Stranding 2 can reward the player with challenging boss fig
In the end, observers hungry for facts are left with little more than rumors and teasers. Death Stranding 2 seems like a sure thing, based on the hints dropped by Reedus, Keighley, and Kojima himself, dating back over a year, and the recent document leak is just one more piece of the puzzle. But none of this is confirmed, and even the existence of Kojima’s **Death Stranding 2 ** concept art doesn’t guarantee a sequel is underway. Kojima’s next project might be something else entirely, with rumors of a successor to his older work called Silent Hills also circulating. The truthfulness and reliability of these claims, of course, will be proven in due time. For now, Death Stranding fans will have to continue to read the tea leaves, hoping for something definitive about the game’s possible seq
Clues that **Death Stranding 2 ** is in development have been appearing for months, with fans of the original Death Stranding and its creator, Hideo Kojima, trying to squeeze every possible drop of information from what are very often cryptic hints and leaks. First, there was a comment in September 2021 by actor Norman Reedus, who did the motion-capture and voice acting for main character Sam Porter Bridges in the first Death Stranding , saying that a sequel was in negotiations. Then, in May 2022, Reedus casually mentioned in an interview that production on the second game had already begun. This was followed by a teaser from Kojima Productions that a game was in the works and then, most recently, a leaked document from PlayStation that seemed to confirm it.What all of this adds up to, though, is a great deal of uncertainty. Death Stranding (and its Director's Cut gameplay fixes) was a popular if not divisive, successful game that won a lot of nominations, awards, and acclaim for its developers, in the United States, Europe, and Japan, which would suggest that a sequel is likely. And it does seem undeniable that a Death Stranding 2 is in the works, judging by the sheer number of rumors and leaks that have surrounded the game over the last year, some of them apparently perpetrated or at least encouraged by Kojima himself. But few details about the game are known, and even fewer have been confirmed by people close to the project. Related: Death Stranding 2's Best Improvement Would Be A Party System Still, the likelihood of a sequel to 2019’s Death Stranding has excited many fans and players craving a return to the game’s post-apocalyptic wasteland and the reappearance of the courier Bridges, who crosses this terrain delivering supplies to isolated settlements across Death Stranding ’s unrecognizable map of America and linking them into a wireless communication network. Along with Reedus, other Hollywood actors and celebrities made appearances in Death Stranding , and rumors have pointed to the possibility of other familiar faces (or their motion-cap renderings) appearing in the sequel. A brief review of what is known for certain about Death Stranding 2 , what is hinted at, and what is hoped for can help bring Kojima watchers up-to-date on the status of his latest proj
