Death Stranding - ESCAPE



Hideo Kojima's exciting courier game is a little closer to release than expected. Death Stranding launches November 8th promising massive play areas, Mads Mikkelsen's slime boys and an America that has apparently fractured not just politically but in temporal and geological terms too. Basic interaction seems to tend towards sneaking around, fending off package snatchers and topographical problem solving.

E3 - BIONIC WOMAN



Hideo Kojima's latest offers the opportunity to wander the kind of untouched, prehistoric landscapes seen in Prometheus or Interstellar as actor Norman Reedus (complete with accurate tattoos). Gameplay wise, Death Stranding appears to be asking players to transport contraband across various examples of science fiction topography whilst avoiding the attentions of fossil fueled ghosts. Reedus' twitchy injuries and hesitant nail surgery would seem to point to a body maintenance mechanic, similar to the one seen in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater too. I hope so anyway.

E3 2016 - Death Stranding



Despite his move away from Konami, Hideo Kojima has retained the services of former Silent Hills partner Norman Reedus, casting the actor as his latest mullet muscle man in Death Stranding. This being a Kojima joint, actual info is scant. All we really know is that Death Stranding is an action game and (regardless of early word that the game designer was keen to get his next game out quick) we shouldn't expect it anytime soon.
