A Look Back at Some of the Greatest Stories of Gaming's Eighth Generation

Central to the themes and gameplay of Death Stranding was Timefall. It functioned like rainfall but caused anything touched by it to rapidly age and degrade. It was key thematically, tying into the ideas of extinction, but just as important in gameplay, deteriorating your gear and any cargo you were carry


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 human


For the second time around, it would be great to actually see more landscapes unique to the American landmass. Dense forests of Redwoods, expansive deserts, and deep valleys. It's a treasure trove of geography to harness and could offer so many unique gameplay aspects, from rappelling down canyons to kicking up dust storms in a des


From the beginning, Death Stranding 2 Updates Stranding makes you aware that it wants you to plan your journey. You can fast-travel, but it's more a burden than a blessing and takes most of the fun out of the game. As such, it gives you some vehicles with their own strengths and weaknesses to make your journey that much smoot


Kojima's games in the past have had an issue with female characters being put into somewhat background roles. Quiet in MGS5 was a great character, but she really didn't need to be like that . Fragile, thankfully, avoids much of that same writing and is one of the few characters of the original Death Stranding to be a consistent presence across the g


In the statement on ResetEra, Dusk Golem stated definitively that Death Stranding 2 is in development and that its internal codename is Ocean . They went on to assert that the game is part of a standing deal between Kojima and Sony and that any reports suggesting otherwise or mentioning other parties should be rejected. This comment is apparently a reference to another rumor claiming Death Stranding 2 is the game Kojima is making for Xbox , which is suspected to be codenamed or titled Overdose . However, given that Sony owns the trademarks on Death Stranding (this again per Insider Gaming), it is highly unlikely it would have ever allowed Kojima to make a sequel exclusively for Micros


In late September 2022, a private document from Sony Interactive Entertainment was leaked on ResetEra by user Arubedo . A spreadsheet appearing to list forthcoming PlayStation titles, the document is dated 2021 and includes a game called Ocean, which was attributed to Kojima Productions. Leaker Dusk Golem on ResetEra claimed that Ocean is, in fact, a codename for Death Stranding 2, Kojima's next game . According to Insider Gaming , Dusk Golem has a track record for reliable leaks in the horror genre, so while some have questioned the authenticity of the leaked document, there are reasons to believe in its accur


Much like the lightsabers for Star Wars , the Beam Katana is an energy sword with a metal hilt for No More Heroes . The weapon is featured prominently in the games, with the length varying between models. There are many different constructions of the Beam Katana, which vary in efficiency and po


In the original, you have access to a variety of bikes and trucks (and a makeshift hoverboard, if you want to count that). The sequel promises to be even larger, and the vehicles should match. The sequel should let you drive those freighter trucks only seen in cutscenes and give you boats to cross bodies of water. Even short-range air transport could work for reaching those more difficult areas ahem the First Prep


What would one do if they could predict the future? Mankind has always encountered and been fascinated by soothsayers or those that demonstrate clairvoyance. The prophecies and declarations of individuals such as those of Nostradamus and Baba Vanga have stirred many people so deeply that their words are still regarded and discussed to this


The sci-fi genre has always found ways to imagine what our futures could look like. From foreseeing resource shortages to close encounters with extraterrestrial beings, there are many possibilities and stories revolving around our potential paths. However, in some cases, those probabilities come true. This has happened several times in video games which has left gamers and non-gamers alike surprised, fascinated, and distur


An odd choice of the original was that it was set during an eternal day for no real reason. It was wonderful, still, but unusual. Having the day actually progress offers up so many opportunities. The darkness of night might make it difficult to move about, and enemy patrols could be different. Maybe other players could even build lights to guide your p


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
