Speaking of games most of us thought were going to stay in development hell and be pushed back next gen...
Kojima Productions just had a livestream showing off the longest trailer for Death Stranding yet, as well as the game's release date which will be later this year. Gameplay looks a bit like MGSV with a heavier emphasis on exploring and using tools to get around the realistic landscapes. Plot? Um, well its a Kojima game and I feel the previous trailers have shown that we won't really have a good idea what it is until the game comes out.

The plot and characters look smurfing wild and I'm intrigued to see what Kojima and co have put together. The gameplay doesn't really inspire me on first viewing though.
We'll see about the gameplay. I'm less concerned about that because Kojima is usually pretty good on that front. From what we've seen in the trailers, it looks like it's using a style very reminiscent to MGSV which is not a bad place to start. The "HADES" section makes me wonder if this game is going to be borrowing some ideas from Dark Souls in terms of multiplayer. I know Connection is one of the game's main themes, so I imagine the more interesting design quirks are going to have to deal with that segment. Like, I wonder if the BT ghosts are representative of locations other players may have died in, so their placement may be more randomized since its player generated.
New trailer introducing Heartman. He is hooked up to a machine that kills him every twenty-one minutes so he can spend three minutes on the "other side" to search for his family that was taken by the Death Stranding. He's then resuscitated and has to wait another twenty-one minutes.
Death Stranding will be out November 8th, 2019.
