I disagree about the controls.
Or to be more precise, the controls worked perfectly fine in MGS1, then became outdated and convoluted in MGS 2-3-4, but then MGS5 went back to controlling just fine.
And i think the cutscene thing got a bit better after the abomination that was 4, but regardless, despite his love for movies and his desire to make them, he still puts enough uniqueness into the game design side of things, to make that statement unfair.

I don't think the problem's that he wants to make movies, but that he succumbs to the classic Anime issue of over explaining everything 50 times, so you end up with 30 minutes of stock footage about the cold war.
Regardless of the final result, more thought is put into making his games play in unique ways, than something that just takes a template and slaps a cinematic pass into it, like Order 1886 or whatever.

Then again, i'm also fine with games like David Cage's (writing quality aside) because i think there's plenty of space for hybrid experiences anyway.

That said, i also can't stand the cult of Kojima and am deeply annoyed by the whole Silent Hills bullshit, which i'm glad Konami got to kill before it was too late.  :doge

Well, I'm stoked.  Only games of his I didn't enjoy that much, were Boktai and Peace Walker.  Everything else has been well worth my time.   :yeshrug

chvrches being involved gives me very little confidence and even though it's based on conjecture, kojima seems to be unfocused. time is only so limited and the last time he was splitting it between overseeing his own studio and all the pressers and shit lead to easily his worst game and this go around he's whoring it up with a bunch of celebrities so the odds are strong with this game being shit. i hope i'm wrong, i really do.

This is what a lot of game directors do after a certain point on the game. They don't write code or script missions or regress bugs or fix textures or tighten up animations etc etc. So they either do press stuff or they "play test" the game and yell at the people who do all the actual work. The dev team is probably working on the Day 1 patch that actually finishes the game. There's almost nothing productive for someone like Kojima to do at this stage.

?? boktai 2 still had the solar sensor. it relied on it way more than 1, too. dunno about 3 bc it was never translated.

wait, do you mean lunar knights, the ds reboot? that game wasn't that great.

Some hands-on impressions...
Quote
Yep, Death Stranding gave me nightmares! Never in my 20-something years of gaming have I ever felt so hopeless and lost while playing a videogame. And it has nothing to do with the game mechanics, but the world itself. Death Stranding’s environments are nightmare inducing. The world of Death Stranding is indeed a strange one. Imagine this:


You are wondering a almost barren alien planet with no knowledge of what kind of life it harbours. It’s a massive open world with wide open spaces and you are completely exposed. As night falls you begin to hear creepy sounds but you have no idea what they are. You try to look around for signs of danger but a thick mist slowly begins to suffocate your site. The sound gets louder and you strain your eyes to see if you can see something and, lo and behold, there seems to be something floating in the mist, and towards you, I might add. I don’t know what this is, I don’t know what to do, I just freak out and toss the controller over to my friend. That’s my experience in a nutshell.
Quote
Death Stranding’s environment is one of the scariest and immersive I’ve ever experienced in a videogame. Although the world may seem barren and void of life, it never feels like you are truly alone… and it is terrifying. You don’t know what will pop out from where and it feels like there is this larger than life presence constantly watching you through the friggen’ clouds! It feels like Hideo Kojima took the Silent Hills vibe and injected it with steroids.

I’m calling it now, it will win Game of the Year. But I may need to find someone to keep me company while I play through it. The game has literally traumatised me; I had a nightmare about being stuck on an alien planet after only 15 minutes of game time… and I don’t even think it’s supposed to be a survival horror! Perhaps I was just so terrified because I was thrown randomly into the middle of the game with no context, no idea of story, or explanations of the game’s many beings.
:phil

It's almost here...

It's not you're waiting, still, in an empty room.
There's other games to play, other stuff to do  :lol.

It's only a problem if you really care about getting spoiled, which for a game like this one, i guess it could be a factor.

Through the insane amount of memes that will most likely spawn from this game, I think more will be spoiled than one would like.

On a side note, Kojima confirmed he's already well into development for his next project.  Fingers crossed it's another new IP and not a sequel to DS.

It looks exactly like a Metal Gear, tbh, so i'm sure it'll have the same humor peppered throughout (i mean already having holograms of Conan or Geoff is hinting at that).

I found it a bit odd that they used old gameplay footage from other trailers (like him walking in the snow) in this one though.

Also funny how during the cast reveal at the end, every single character is crying. I expect BIG melodrama.
