https://stayclose.social/SalvatoreBond933/ Latest updates from Salvatore Bond https://stayclose.social/blog/113824/death-stranding-2-could-be-the-most-ambitious-sequel-ever-made/ Death Stranding was Kojima's first release after departing from Konami on bad terms in 2015, and it feels like the work of a director freed from his previous constraints. The game's slow pace and emphasis on delivering cargo on foot were divisive, but it was a critical and commercial success that has earned a following of devoted fans. Kojima has said that he's open to a sequel, though nothing official has been announced


As video games constantly evolve, they attempt to outdo themselves on the whimsical impracticality of inventions . These are prominent in sci-fi titles, in which weapons take the center stage on what players can use for themselves, against the many growing forces of evil in sci-fi gam


Death Stranding is set in a future version of the USA that has been torn apart by strange creatures called Beached Things . Despite the American setting, keen-eyed players will have noticed that the landscapes are not what one would expect from the country. Players are met with black soil, rugged terrain, and moss-covered mounta


As Kojima has previously hinted, the game will feature actresses Elle Fanning and Shioli Kitsuna . Norman Reedus makes a return as Sam, though he appears to be much older, and Lea Seydoux reclaims her role as Fragile. However, this time around, it seems that she will be taking a far more central role, and gamers may learn a bit more about her backst


In the game, players take on the role of Sam Bridges, a porter who must forge through the rough post-apocalyptic American wilderness to deliver packages and supplies to isolated outposts. With many people stuck at home and encountering difficulties, Death Stranding would soon find itself becoming a story many players could relate to due to its emphasis on connection and hope for reference human

Death Stranding 2 is in development. While Kojima Productions is yet to confirm the production of a sequel to Norman Reedus and the Funky Fetus, the original game’s star revealed in a recent interview that motion capture on a successor has already begun.


Although it may seem like a fluke and it was not intentional, this demonstrates the potential and effects of what a solid algorithm can do. Imagine mapping the universe and discovering real planets all in the comforts of h


One of the many talented inventions in the Half-Life universe is the Gravity Gun. This tractor beam-type device was designed to handle hazardous materials, and heavy lifting. On paper, the Gravity Gun is a good idea, as it helps people to do their jobs easier, with less ri
You often stumble across the empty husks of cities, only ever interacting with fellow human beings in cutscenes or through disparate holograms spread across identical facilities dotted across the landscape. It all feeds into the narrative and worldbuilding, but simultaneously it points to a limited experience, or one that is yet to reach its full potential. This is where Death Stranding 2 comes into view, and how a sequel building upon everything the original game managed to achieve would be monumental. Give Kojima Productions an equal level of freedom alongside a decent budget and watch the project blossom. That’s all we need.


Kojima has said that he considered casting Keanu Reeves as Death Stranding villain Cliff, a role that went to Mads Mikkelsen. Kojima's affinity for Mikkelsen has been well-documented, but there's still room for Reeves in Kojima's cinematic Death Stranding narrative . Reeves is no stranger to video games or sci-fi stories, and his casting would add to a potential sequel's prestige and star po


The game's story has been likened to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the pandemic's effects weren't fully felt until months after its release. Protagonist Sam Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus , works as a "porter" who delivers goods and services to Americans, in particular connecting them via new networking technology. It's unsafe for anyone to leave their home due to the dangerous weather phenomenon called timefall, and fans have pointed out the way this bears a resemblance to lockdowns that much of the world was plunged i


However, it’s entirely impractical. Not only is it made from material and energy that Earth does not have access to, but it can be used, as is used, for more gruesome purposes. The idea of making a gun that can throw people around like a ragdoll is entirely irresponsible and impractical for the workplace it was intended

It’s a misunderstood masterpiece, and one that has experienced a critical reappraisal in recent years as new players stumble upon its brilliance and find it to be a strangely refreshing execution of an open world genre that has long grown stagnant. Yet it also felt like the beginning of something, and outside the story many of its excellent mechanics were stitching together a world that ultimately felt empty, even if this melancholic loneliness happened to be a deliberate thematic decision it remains a clear shortcoming.
