isn't that the ending to the quiet place?

There was gameplay within the first 90 minutes of a kojima game?!?

Nnodley must be skipping the cutscenes!!!

I can't play till Thursday.

nnodley

heheh. Well that was probably all the gameplay so far.  Now in a cutscene, but I'm pausing and playing as I'm doing work too.

It was just walking, but it looks amazing and the vibe is great.  Woodkid is gonna kill it on the music from what I can tell. I've always loved his music anyway though.

I was ready to have my mind blown, but that opening cutscene was real footage with cgi things added.

Game still looks great, just not impossible great.

oh yeah at first i was like man this looks so good, then you realize it's real footage.  The amount of detail and fidelity they got in is pretty impressive at least.  It helps when you don't have really any foliage either.  That's always a real killer on performance.

I just loved the vibe of those first moments walking along the ridge with the music.

Was that how it was supposed to go? I just threw myself down the cliff.

About done with the first map I think. So far it is like identical to the first game. Will be funny if instead of this being Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 with huge improvements, it's just journalists realizing Death Stranding was always great.

But I hope it does more. The originality of the first's gameplay was what made me love it.

lol yeah, I pretty much walked the ridge till I had to get down.

I just finished first map. You do this portion so much faster than you would in the first game so I'm hoping it's mostly to get you back up to speed of the mechanics and then it starts to get different.

Either way I'll be happy even if it's just an improvement on the first, but not a big jump like UC1 to 2
