It's Homo Demens. Crazy people. The ghosts are called BT - Beached Things. They mentioned ages ago that Death Stranding refers to Cetacean Stranding. There's tons of imagery around sea life. So someone did something sciencey or magic-y that caused dead things to become beached in reality?

raytracing has been the next big thing for 30 years and will continue to be until someone figures out the locality problem. amd gpus have no specific raytracing hardware so unless sony's adding bespoke pieces to the ps5 gpu it will be a software implementation. which unfortunately will probably be more of a novelty. we'll be mostly rasterization for a while yet. death stranding: i expect the game to be very uneven and insane. i'm sure there will be awesomely fun bits mixed with a ton of WTF.

Steve Yun posted:In an interview Kojima was asked why he left Norman Reedus’ tattoos in the character model. He said he wants the character on screen to be both Sam Bridges and Norman Reedus. Cliff could absolutely turn out to be really similar to Hannibal but they haven't played that up much. I think Kojima said only Wagner could play her part so I'm assuming some bionic woman references.

i think all his games are kinda janky to be honest but I always have fun with the gameplay itself. so i'm down for whatever his take on package delivery through a ghost infested wasteland ends up being.Donovan Trip posted:The gameplay we have seen looks.. Rough. The fighting for example looks stiff and janky, like assassin's creed 1 janky. A lot can happen in 6 months, sure, but the combat shown looks like it took place in a designers test area, or something. the animation was similar to the last couple kojima games imo. like they could have been lifted from mgs5.

bear is driving! posted:The fact that they refer to a "chrial network" and "chiral allergy" may have something to do with the worlds being mirrors, maybe? Chirality is a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(chemistry) yeah he's definitely going for something like that. but i dunno if it's going to be more than "hey this word sounds cool and has something to do with mirrors." though your two hands are chiral objects. which might be why there's 'hand' imagery everywhere.

Also you collect your poop and pee and turn them into grenades to throw at the BTs. Your weapons also appear to be powered by your blood.

All the item descriptions on that footage specify if weapons are lethal or not. So I'd guess you will be able to kill dudes? Maybe it makes the BTs more common if you go around murking everyone.

ymgve posted:In one of the trailers Mads says something like «it’s so hard to form connections when you can’t shake hands» - maybe touching another person is dangerous in some way that's troy baker's character. norman reedus said the game is about his character being afraid to be touched and overcoming that.

kojima usually gets the main mechanics right. i think it'll come down to whether they nail the main traversal gameplay. if it's fun to just run around i think it will end up being something special. the thing that stands out about kojima's games is the animations are super fast. people mention they look janky but i think it's very deliberate to make everything feel responsive. i'm optimistic because death stranding looks the same way in the gameplay videos.

Oxxidation posted:kojima was also ecstatic over revengeance, which went even further in naturalizing his characteristically stilted writing. he's an odd one the mgs translation isn't really much less stilted than mgs2 or mgs3. kojima's always been a crazy ideas guy and his characters are a bunch of tropes from 80's movies that deliver them earnestly. i'd argue none of his work is fully coherent or totally sure what it wants to say. but he's always got interesting ideas.

I always make sure to at least have 2 ladders and 2 anchors at any time 3 anchors take up one slot so i don't carry more than one unless i'm going a loooong way. also this plot reaches peak anime pretty early and only goes further. it's gloriously ridiculous.

the way the multiplayer incentivizes working together is really kinda genius. i made a bridge to a little island/sandbar in a river. later i came back and someone else had made a bridge over the other part and now i can just haul rear end on my bike. those moments are awesome.

DalaranJ posted:Let me ask about some early game cutscene fashion choices. It’s been awhile and I’m starting to forget. It gets weirder. Massive (MASSIVE) spoilers for everything. SERIOUSLY. Sam has the scar in one of the very early beach scenes (the one that's basically the reveal trailer). Amelie wears red, white and gray on the beach. You also see bridget in white. I think it's supposed to show you which "version" of amelie you are seeing. The version that wants to destroy everything or the version that sam gave the necklace to. Which is combined with the fact that there is no amelie and that's just bridget's soul stuck on the beach. I'm still not totally sure it all lines up despite the mountain of exposition she gives you at the end. Is she working with Higgs all along? Why have the whole kidnapping thing and chiralium mask? Or did Higgs just discover this because he has DOOMS and is tapping into her powers? Higgs doesn't seem to know bridget and amelie are the same person. But someone must have given him the doll. He tells fragile it was 'her' plan but he's crazy and is ranting about that sort of thing constantly anyway. Or she's got a split personality thing going which probably makes the most sense. Do they actually say if DOOMS is an acronym and I just missed it?

it seems like you have to build the roads yourself for the most part. i've had people complete my roads but I always have to start them (and I always end up putting the majority of resources in them). Which is probably good otherwise you'd have prebuilt roads everywhere instantly. (come drive across america on our roads dripping with black hell-slime!) It also doesn't spawn things you haven't unlocked yet. Though I did see a private room shelter thing before I'd unlocked constructing it.

Steve Yun posted:Fragile backstory cutscene is anime as hell: Similar to The Boss, forced to decide between surviving or saving others. Moving stuff. Dramatic music. Also, need to make sure we get some buttcrack and side boob in there. the anime levels continuously rise after that point. the game hit what i assumed was peak anime several times and managed to top itself repeatedly.

For me the gameplay is super fun, rebuilding each area is great and you really get the feeling you're working with other people to rebuild the infrastructure. And if you really want to fight dudes there's a million mules all over the place plus you can steal their poo poo.

homeless snail posted:My final tumble stat was 7, and half of those were trying to do some snowboarding Disagree heavily. I've said this a few times but the plot ends up actively undermining the message of connection and working together. The entire mechanism of connection only exists to kill everyone. I don't think Cliff wants to destroy the world, he's an angry ghost that wants his kid back and/or revenge. That said, kojima is never really coherent with his themes. He always has really interesting ideas and dammit, he's going to put every single one of them in the game.

Carry around 5+ grenades and drown all BTs in a shower of blood. If there's a big BT, hit him with a grenade in the face and then unload an assault rifle.
