Death Stranding 2 Event: new trailer, June 26th release date!! Update: Death Stranding had 20 million players!

@last_lap: Tells you how bad Indy was.

@taint: And got nominated for GOTY when it released, it's probably the lowest rated game to ever get nominated.

I think we all know who Kojimas buddy is and why it got nominated 🤭

@Chutebox: Can't be worse than a mail man simulator, I'm surprised FedEx or UPS didn't sponsor the game.

I think Indy is a bad game, but DS is by far worse.

still sony's engine is it not? I should of worded it differently. xbox wish they had a engine like decima. doesn't change the fact decima is king for open worlds.

I wish sony gave to third party developers and other studios. to see what they can come up with.

yeah the decima seems to run smoother. I wish sony let third party developers use there engine.

I find the open world engine in Forza Horizon 5 to be much better.

brilliant...

i wish i did. trailer looks amazing. footage captured from a ps5 though? hmmm

The cut scenes/cgi always looks great for this game. It's the actual game play when you control the character where it falls apart.

@taint: disagree. I found the gameplay in DS to be really fun. Traversing all the different terrain was quite challenging. Especially very early on, when all you have is the leg braces. Thankfully you get access to vehicles after about 2 hours in. Then connecting all the regions by zip lines and roads, make everything smooth sailing.

Sorry, I meant gameplay graphics. Not gameplay.

kind weird to say a open world racing game is better. not much going on in a racing game.

but yes forza looks great. wish they made game that was not just driving.

Fable 4 is using that engine.

yeah I know it looks great graphical but the character looks so gringe lol. she looks like she couldn't even pick up a sword nevermind use it. but I think it was delayed because she quit. so now they need a new lead character.

The scenery is amazing, can't wait to walk around in the game

20 million players!

@taint: I got to agree the thought process for this game is very low

lol no

i gave it a try while it was in Game Pass.. started pretty good but i lost interest as the game went on.. may try to revisit as the sequel gets closer..

thats what I heard not sure if it was true or not. if its not my bad.

The lead writer left. But she left on good terms. She was in the middle of writing two books, so she changed her career.

First game was a total snooze fest so I'll be passing on this.

Snake: "Kept you waiting, huh?"

20 million people walking around a walking sim.

Out of those 20M players, assuming around 5-10M of those are sales, that would be on-par with MGS sales. Kojima was able to replicate the success of MGS with a new IP, even though it was basically a walking sim.

But I wonder if he could replicate that success with DS2? Many fans were disappointed with the first DS... That could be why Kojima decided to bring back "Stranded Snake" in DS2.
