However, if you’ve already played the game, watched some gameplay online, or read Logan’s wonderful review , then that isn’t news to you. In that case, you’re probably wondering how this PC port performs. Well, I’m happy to report that so far my experience has been amazing; it’s clear that the seven months since the game’s PS4 launch were very well-spent. My PC barely meets Death Stranding’s recommended settings, yet I’ve played around 10 hours so far, all at 60+ FPS without graphical errors, slowdown, or crashes. Meanwhile, the graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen on my PC; certain environments and character models are hyper-realistic to the point where I feel like I am controlling a character in an HDR video. This isn’t too surprising considering it’s a port to PC, but it is worth mentioning. After all, we have seen some terrible PC ports in the p
“I’m always thinking about ideas as I’m working on games,” he said. “These aren’t major plans, but just fragments of new ideas. I think about these ideas myself, and then I explain them to other people, in order to get opinions about them.” Going on, he explained that the illustration in the photo was created by Metal Gear character designer and Death Stranding art director Yoji Shinkawa, who often creates drawings based on his id
However, Kojima has set the record straight regarding the illustration. IGN recently spoke with him during an interview for a video about how Death Stranding predicted the future , and when the topic turned to his tweet, he explained that it doesn’t represent “major plans, but just fragments of new ide
Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt
I’ve obviously never played the PS4 version of Death Stranding , and I’m sure that I’m far from completing its 40-hour campaign, but nothing I’ve experienced so far stops me from claiming that PC is now the definitive place to play Death Stranding . The game is visually stunning, controls well, and runs immaculately; so far I’d say it was well worth the seven month wait. However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo
While the post-doomsday interpretation of America in Death Stranding is certainly terrifying, a disturbing implication to consider is how much the destructive event that caused everything to begin with has also affected the rest of the world. If Kojima Productions is planning to make a return to visit this weblink devastated world, there are plenty of other locations around the world that can provide an interesting backdrop for the story to conti
Should Death Stranding 2 still take place on the western hemisphere, moving the setting just south of the States in the tropical landscape of Brazil would prove to offer a much brighter visual presentation than the first game. For one, Brazil’s Atlantic coastline which stretches for 4,700-kilometers is lined with beautiful golden sand beaches right next to the roar of the ocean, which is perfect for Death Stranding ‘s often-mesmerizing locations . Much like Greece above, seeing highly populated locations like Rio de Janeiro being completely empty would make for a chilling setting to explore and this isn’t even mentioning the lush Amazonian rain forests, comprised of thick plant life and interconnected river passa
On July 14, Hideo Kojima’s latest creative venture, Death Stranding , finally releases on PC . Like other PC players, I’ve waited since November to experience Death Stranding on PC, and now that I’ve had my hands on the game for about a week I’m happy to say that, so far, it was well worth the w
With PlayStation Blog having shown off several great screenshots thus far via its Share of the Week posts, 2020’s Share of the Year includes some of the best images taken in video games, according to PlayStation. With captures shared from The Last of Us 2 , Death Stranding , and other major releases, PlayStation fans clearly put a lot of time into photo modes last y
The PlayStation Blog post also includes several great character portraits, including Doom Eternal ’s Doom Hunters and Final Fantasy 7 Remake ’s Cloud. A heavily edited shot of a Storm Trooper preparing to launch a rocket at Cal in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is another great picture included in the post, as it shows just how detailed the armor worn by the foe is. However, Xenolith3D’s portrait of Ellie stands out, as it showcases the level of detail in the character models of the award-winning The Last of Us
