Death Stranding Latest News
Hideo Kojima's new game understandably received a lot of attention at E3 2016. Not only did the announcement trailer reveal that Kojima's new game stars Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), it's also one of the most bizarre video game trailers ever. The trailer didn't reveal any actual gameplay, though, and the reason for that is simple: Death Stranding isn't actually in production yet.
According to Kojima, who spoke to Eurogamer at E3, he's still deciding on what engine to use for the game: "We are getting to a very good point about how we are feeling about the visuals so we are very close to making a decision on the game engine. And once that is decided, we will be in full production."
Kojima also revealed that he's considering two specific engines for the game and that the announcement trailer was created using one of the two candidates: "For the new game elements I want to try, you always want to make it and then evaluate and iterate—and those we are doing on the other game engine candidate."
It's a safe assumption that Death Stranding is still a few years away, as Kojima continues hash out the technical stuff. It seems, from the trailer at least, that the concept is fully fleshed out, though. This is going to be one weird game.
Death Stranding Trailer
We all wondered what Hideo Kojima had in store for the gaming world next, and our questions were answered when the first trailer for Death Stranding hit the PS4 press conference screen. What is the game about or what are we even watching in the announcement trailer? The simple answer is "Naked Norman Reedus crying over an invisible ink baby on a beach covered in dead fish and crabs," but as you may already know, nothing is simple when it comes to a Kojima creation.
Take a look for yourself:
Yes, that is Norman Reedus of P.T. and The Walking Dead fame, and yes this game does look like a truly weird creation that only Kojima could have possible gifted the world. While we can't discern much from the brief preview beyond the fact that Kojima has not lost his bizarre touch, it's still enough to make us quite impatient for more information regarding this project.
Death Stranding will be a PS4 exclusive title. No release date was announced.
