Death Stranding 2

I understand what you're getting at Namark. But I'm sure the questions you have will be answered. Those points you raise are too obvious to go unanswered.

I still think Elle Fanning is playing grown up Lou (BB) -- and I think this game's storyline will take place over the course of many years (provided my assumption of Elle being grown up BB turns out to be true).

In the first trailer that came out in December of 2022, Sam looked a lot older while as you pointed out, Fragile's skin looked completely fine.

Was Elle Fanning not the person they were cutting out of the pod in the beginning of the trailer? That's what I assumed.

I always meant to ask, what's the difference or differences between the original PS4 release and the PS5 Director's Edition?

There's some gameplay improvements and not 100% but think there's a bit of extra story content. I do remember the zip lines from the PS5 version apparently weren't part of the PS4 version.

There are zip lines in the PS4 edition. I actually built an extensive network of zip lines in my game, and I could travel across most of the map via that network. I spent a lot of time and effort building it, even in or around areas infested with BTs.

I think it was the road network then, its not mentioned in this piece below but i swear when i actually looked up online, the top snowy area didn't have the same road network as the PS4 version across the entire map.

I think the people who couldn't get into the game, they had pretty valid reason with the way it came across until you could get far enough to make things easier, but perhaps that whole aspect that was seeming to hold back the gameplay loop will be refined/scrapped for the most part.

Yes, there are limitations on where you can build roads, and the snowy mountain area is a no-go for road building. That being said, I liked it, which makes the snowy mountain region so challenging at the beginning.

I think it is. Elle's character's left arm is bandages in the trailer -- and that appears to be the same arm that's being operated on from the character removed from the tar.

Kojima has released an hour-long video detailing information on various projects, including Death Stranding 2.

Sony will host what appears to be a roundtable discussion with the team behind DS2 on the last day of TGS. It will surely get some sort of simulcast in other languages, but for now you can watch it here on September 29 @ 1030 JST:

I wonder if KojimaPro will release a Death Stranding 2 demo at their TGS event on Sunday? Wouldn't be surprised if it is at least playable at TGS, maybe even PS5 Pro enhanced.

When the Hell is Us trailer started playing I thought it was this game at first.

Interesting interview (the auto cc was a bit messy but it works), would have been nice to see more of the game but the graphics look pretty good. The photo mode was a bit silly, I wonder if the reflections were realtime RT? I'm sure someone at DF will share their opinions on it in a few days...

Here is the updated version of the Death Stranding parka they modeled on stage:

Several smaller trailers came out during TGS24, but most of em are posted on X and annoying to link here, so here is someone's edit of them all together.

It has the signature Kojima weirdness for sure, but can't same I'm not actually excited to play this

[ps3bd_owner]

Death Stranding 2 or Pragmata... I'm frankly way more excited for Pragmata.

Didn't know Elle Fanning was in this. Means I probably have to bite the bullet and play it, while simultaneously hoping the delivery mechanic is significantly toned down or less monotonous.

I need to dig out my copy of Somewhere and re-watch it. I completely forgot what the story is about, lol

You have something against delivering packages to people who expect them? Lol
