Personally i want a remake of Syphon Filter from Sony as a 1st part title and i'd like Kojima kept away from it. He's always guaranteed to do 2 things if he's involved in development as like the main guy. 1) Take a ton of time making it & 2) spend a bunch of your time making you watch cutscenes as he tries to make a movie and dress it up as a game.

I said this before, but Death Stranding showed Kojima isn't as great as he's made out to be. I would even argue, some elements succeed in spite of him.

The stealth genre is dying or already has since the three main ones have not received a new game for a while now. Snake, Sam Fisher, and Logan.

I personally don't even consider Blacklist a Splinter Cell title since Sam Fisher was voiced by someone new rather than Michael Ironside and that was a huge deal-breaker for me. Good stealth game, but not a Splinter Cell game.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

What is kind of cool about Death Stranding is the surrealism/horror aspect of the concept. This invasive dark oil morphing evil beings/ghosts turning everything rapidly old with the presence of the rain. I'm surprised Darryl (from Walking Dead, Blade 2, Norm Reedus) doesn't wear a mask to protect his face. I forget his reasoning, but remember the rain is deadly.

A new Hideo action/stealth/adventure game could be cool. There is some stealth in this game like avoiding enemy camps if not ready for them.

I wouldn't have minded a Silent Hills game, but Death Stranding: Part 2 proves this is what he was working on all that time. The Director's cut of Death Stranding said a lot in terms of hints of his next project.

Syphon Filter being under Sony Bend would be cool if they could get Gabe Logan's voice actor back. The re-release of the Syphon Filter 1 and 2 games on PSN, playable on PS5, is a very good sign of a new Syphon Filter PS5 game for 2024 maybe. They could've just kept those games on the old streaming set up, but went out of their way slightly to make them available to play for everyone. By the end of 2023, I can imagine we'll hear some news.

Syphon Filter 1 is awesome except for the clunky control set up, but Syphon Filter 2 was unforgiving with the stealth pass or fail approach. I managed to finish that game once on release back on PS1, but never wanted to replay through that game again. Syphon Filter 3 was much improved.

Syphon Filter PS2, I skipped, as they forgot to bring back the hero of the first 3 games, Gabe Logan. The demo was just okay IMO. I haven't played much of the PSP games ported to PS2.

Hideo does a lot of things right with his games like MGSV, but agree, he's not perfect and capable of design issues or game flaws, like the unnecessarily, non-intuitive, complicated inventory organization system in Death Stranding for example.


With Death Stranding, that actually released much faster when it was his own company. Under Konami, I bet he knew he had a good thing going and milked the project as long as possible with MGSV, tinkering with small stuff when the game should've been released by then. Then the new Casino games boss showed up.

Assassin's Creed has one more game in 2023 and then the multiplayer one. I'm surprised they separated them. I thought for sure the series was going fully online only with the next game.

The indie and smaller developers offer some indie games, like Plague: Requiem, but I'd have to research which others.

I need to play the first game.

It haunts me to this day in a good way.

If you take the time to truly go through the whole experience, it is like nothing you have ever played before atmosphere wise.

There are way better games out there, from from an "experience" standpoint, there is only one Death Stranding.

That being said, can't wait to see what they do next with it. Seemed pretty complete to me.

I plan on doing a completely new run on the Director's Cut. I think I know better now how to shave at least 30 hours from it.

The first thought I have when I saw this trailer is that Kojima must have gotten the idea from a hot bowl of Oyakodon...

All jokes aside, the story doesn't have to be in an alternate universe and that antagonist doesn't necessarily have to be Higgs. My theory is a new group of terrorists with a religious cover is doing nasty stuff in the name of Higgs. The story could be set several years after the end of the first game.

If you're okay with scouting missions delivering and balancing heavy cargo on the players back over rough terrain while avoiding water and rain along with the dark oil creatures and enemies, and are looking for some great visuals in the cutscenes and interesting storytelling that takes up 80% of the experience at times, and some cool scenery, it's worth checking out.

I'd recommend it at 19.99 and under, 9.99 being ideal. The controls are generally good, though it's a lot of going out to deliver boxes, getting credit for the boxes, then returning to deliver more boxes while fighting monsters. A challenging game for sure. The inventory system is rough though IMO, and takes some getting used to along with the control options. I remember the R3 and L3 button presses were more critical than I first thought. The maps are large for each map unlocked.

Yes, it'll be interesting to see where Kojima decides to go with the story. From what I can tell, some of this could be part of a dream sequence of some kind.

Norm Reedus looks older, probably from natural aging or from being exposed to the time altering rain so often.
