So, there’s a strange turning point that comes after reaching the first of Cliff Unger’s war beaches, where the player is suddenly given the ability to kill enemies with the introduction of lethal weapons. However, as Kojima Productions writes through the gameplay , the lack of ludonarrative dissonance means that the player is heavily punished for killing enemies, but is given almost no reward for doing so. It’s a positive in a storytelling sense, but leaves the player with all these weapon options that are really meaningless and could be explored further to give a stronger risk/reward factor for straight up mur
Of course, there is no video game franchise more tightly linked to Hideo Kojima than Metal Gear Solid . Sadly, it is quite unlikely that the series’ creator will ever be able to return to the Metal Gear games, given that they are still owned by Konami. If a reunion between the two companies ever were to happen, however, fans would likely wonder about the possibility of a new Metal Gear game. Unfortunately, it seems like the franchise is simply over for g
Dutch was the leader of their gang, so he sort of served as the overarching father figure for everyone in the crew, especially Arthur who was his right hand man up until Micah nefariously replaced him. Arthur’s conflict , both with Dutch and himself, throughout the game has a few similarities to a “normal” father-son relationship. In _ RDR 2, _ when Dutch continually puts Arthur’s ideas down and constantly questions his loyalty, it starts to make Arthur doubt not only Dutch but also hims
Every photo in the PlayStation Blog post is a great example of just how gorgeous video games can be, as images like the one taken by MdeavorVP in Remedy Entertainment’s Control are great. DotPone shares a shot of a Valkyrie from God of War and adambomb2mk captures a neat portrait of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla protagonist Ei
The term “dynamic” has become a bit of a buzzword for gaming media, with the idea that dynamically generating things like enemy placements, item drops, or even the weather makes a world feel more lived in. In reality, it adds a level of RNG or randomness into a situation, which is intended to enhance replayability and make each encounter feel new and completely different from the last several. So, considering the way that Death Stranding ‘s world is constantly evolving , adding some dynamic movement of the swarms of BTs could go a long
Whether directly or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 ** and Death Stranding** both deal with the theme of fatherhood Deathstranding 2world said in a blog post a major way. The settings of the two games are quite different from each other, with the former taking place in the American old west while the latter is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi game, but the main characters in both stories deal with fatherhood or father figures throughout the entirety of the games. The theme of fatherhood is also especially significant in the predecessor to _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ and and other Kojima games before _ Death Strandin
Regardless of what direction Kojima Productions decides to go in over the course of the next few years, that direction will likely be a good one. Hideo Kojima has crafted many of the most iconic video game stories and experiences of all time. That trend is likely to continue, and it is just as likely that gamers from all over the world will be going out in droves to check out whatever game **Hideo Kojima ** makes n
This doesn’t necessarily need to go along with the previous entry, and would actually work best with the current system where BT infestations stay in specific places. There already is a system for clearing out BT Territory by destroying the Giant BT that can usually either be found in the center of the area or shows itself by attacking the player. However, while this will clear the area and allow the player to move through hostile territory in ease, it never lasts for very long, making it somewhat more difficult to enjoy these sections of Death Stranding ‘s open-world without having to immediately run a
The vehicles are a strong point of contention for players, considering that they imply that they’ll be able to trivialize some deliveries, but they also don’t exactly move over unsteady terrain all that well. Combine this with the fact that most of Death Stranding ‘s artful aesthetic is built around landscapes that have been reclaimed by nature or wreckage of bombed cities, and the available vehicles almost require roads to be built. So, a new focus on vehicles to give them a better give and take on which terrain they can travel across and how much they can hold as a result is an improvement a sequel should aim
With 2021 bringing more PlayStation games and photo modes to use for screenshots, the next Share of the Year should be just as exciting as this one. From God of War ’s sequel to Horizon Forbidden West , PlayStation fans should have plenty of opportunities to blow their fellow gamers away with their in-game photography ski
